There's a marks and sparks in pattaya and a couple in Bangkok,some sort of franchise I think.
-
Just look at it as part of your daily 10,000 steps,

The train connects with the skytrain at phayathai station,you do have to hump your bags down a flight of stairs.
-
The train works,the way it works is you just make sure your hotel is as close as possible to a skytrain stop,doing that makes sense anyway who needs to be walking after a night on the town.Getting a seat on the train at the airport in not usually a problem.That's why I take the airport bus from Jomtien and then the train to Sukhumvit and the skytrain to my hotel,as I hate taxis and the mini-bus it solves that problem and being cheaper that's a bonus,though if you have lots of heavy luggage and struggle with stairs a taxi is the best.
-
I do that as routine,I have noticed lately that most complaints are directed at the sites that offer the lowest fares and it's about contacting customer service? seems it's non existent in some cases,the savings are just not worth it stick with companies that you know and can reasonably trust.and prices went up across the board overnight I guess they all use the same software.

Penny wise pound foolish,

On the EVA website they had a reduction of over 20euro,return Amsterdam/Bangkok about 580euro for Jan 18 March 1,and that's a bargain.I would normally grab it but will not commit myself till after the German elections in September to see what happens to the Euro.
-
It happens every year it's the low season for Thailand,they don't like to send out planes half empty so they consolidate,if they have flights with only 100 bookings they cancell that flight and put them on the other half full flights.
-
You have to understand I live near Schipol so that's where I will fly from,I prefer to fly direct so I have two choices EVA tue /thu/sat KLM fly seven days a week.the price I have just seen is actually 575euro not 584,the EVA flight leaving in January will be full there may be the odd empty seat on the return flight in March,if I wanted to have a stopover I am spoiled for choice Serbia air are offering flights for 495euro+,Turkish 516+budgetary.nl have the EVA fight for with booking fees for 575 and the Turkish flight for 516 with booking fees didn't check to see if they have a CC charge.flying on the 11January instead of 9 January saves 30 euro I think till January 10 is peak season for Thailand after that it's only high season. I did see a really cheap Turkish air flight from a Brussels airport but the out flight was 32 hours,also cheaper flights from some German airports.like I say the cheapest I have ever paid was 600 euro with China air the 575 from eva is seriously good and they won't get cheaper bearing in mind they only fly 3 Days a week.
-
If I fly out 11 Jan return 8 March next year eva have flights 584euro that's the lowest I have ever seen for that time of the year.ams-bkk return. It's tempting but want to wait and see how my finances are and how the Euro stands,probably need to wait till the German electionson September 24.
-
What do they charge during January-february high season? That's after the Christmas new year peak,the 600euro that I checked was jan9 to Feb 27.
-
See the Euro is still on its downward spiral, 36.4 so I guess that's under 36 on the street down from 40.4 a year ago,might have done my last Thailand trip,don't really see how I can cut my budget anymore already staying in guest houses in Jomtien and only drinking hard once a week,walking Street is a distant memory.
-
That's not true when I book with EVA the price they show is the price I pay,no booking fees or credit card surcharge,if I book through an agent I pay 30 euro booking fee plus CC fee about 10 euro.
-
As I say only KLM does a daily flight to Bangkok from Schipol,(I live 25km from Schipol) EVA three times a week, I only want to travel direct,booking direct with EVA cuts out the booking costs a CC feesthat travel agents charge that will add up to 50 euro to the final tally,now then I feel ripped of. I normally book June July time and 600 is a good price.
-
OK but I prefer to fly direct and book with the airline and 600 is as good as it gets,that's my experience of flying from Schipol to Bangkok over the last 25 years,you can get cheaper I think I saw aeroflop for 420E last year via Moscow,some of the ultra cheap flights have 20-30 hour time duration,When I go shopping for food I don't care about the price on the goods I look at the kilo price the same with flights I look at the duration.
-
No they stopped the direct flights in September,if you book With them it's via Taipei.
-
Eva and KLM have the only direct flights from Schipol,EVA have flights 9 Jan return 28 Feb 2018 for 601euro,9Jan is a Tuesday,it's the same price for those dates as this year,you won't get it cheaper for a direct flight.

The first bank here in the Netherlands is now quoting zero intereste on saving account's,the rest will follow.

You do need to update but it's all done with a couple of clicks of the mouse and sometimes your password and sometimes a restart,as for viruses as only 2% or so of computers run on Linux and most users are tech savvy it's not worth the spammers time and effort.

I had it 5 years ago age 60 in the Netherlands they wait till they have enough six in my case then do them all in one go so to speak,after they bring you round they get you up go to the toilet, 2 guys got up and walked relatively pain 3 the rest of us in agony,took a few days to get around with crutches,before and after the op I got around on my cycle no problem took a couple of months before I lost the last crutch.
-
The OP is 30 months old.

Bad At Any Price- Updated Aug. 9, 2017

The other thing about cooking Yorkshire pudding is that the fat/oil in the dish you are cooking it in must be smoking hot,and that takes some nerve for a novice cookand then they have to pick it up and put it in the oven. -

I tried the dinner buffet at the Lek once many years ago, Couldn't eat it and i mean couldn't the meat!stew was impossible to chew I just left. -
Cheers, China had one flight a day to Bangkok as does KLM EVA fly 3 times a week, all the flights during the high season were pretty much fully booked,I have a flight booked for January with eva for 600 euro that's about as good as it gets really.lots of options with stopovers though.
-
Now China air are stopping direct flights on the Amsterdam Bangkok route that leaves KLM or EVA,in cattle class there's nothing between then so it's down to price and EVA win on that.what flights go direct to Bangkok from Heathrow instead of Amsterdam?
