  1. top hotel in a green and leafy part of Bangkok.
  2. Bugger the price of beer have you seen what's been happening to the Euro the last week going down,I look at the exchange rate not drink prices,it must be under 40baht to a Euro on the street,and a against the dollar down to about 1;32 aaagh.
  3. I use my sonys combine them with earplugs silence!,I have looked at the Bose but for my yearly return flight to los I need the earphones for a total of 16 hours a year,hard to justify the price.Have read that the very latest Bose cause problems with dizziness and some disorientation.For you frequent flyers Bose is probably the way to go
  4. In july the dynasty had good offers for a week 1050 down to 950 if you stay a month,no idea when the discount stops though.
  5. the dynasty soi 13 great location, had rooms for under a thousand if you stay for a month,1050 for a seven day stay. might want the money up front though.
  6. stay away from the hostess bars in Cambodia then.
  7. dont forget to add Arkle to your list and lester always said Sir Ivor was the best he ever rode.
  8. well cheers for that guys I have appointments with the doc then have to go to the beach for our staff bash. I dont have time to watch hours of you-tube,damm that 98 CH was some win its the champion hurdle for gods sake. then shergar in the derby then secretariat oh god help me
  9. I have got one sits in the bag on the front of my tour bike had it 5 years and never had the need to get it out, I will bring it with me next time i come, cant think why i never did as I normally spend time in Cambodia and the dogs there are bastards and maybe rabid. Thanxs for the heads up, another essential to add to the ear plugs,CC,passport,atm pass,e-reader,phone. e-ticket the rest are not important. I shall take it with me for the next week and try it on some muts shall not annoy any pit bulls though
  10. One of the joys of pattaya is that I spend the minimum time on a computer, E-mails and banking and thats about it. I dont bother with the forums as I am living it. Normally log on at a coffee place that does free wi-fi if you need it for work of course another matter. turn the fcuk thing off.
  11. Very common in the older style bars in the Netherlands well in Amsterdam anyway. But the older local bar is dying out.
  12. Be afraid be very afraid about any deal with housing in Hua Hin, Do some serious research about the vendors, some used serious strong arm tactics [allegedly] deaths occurred. About the rest of Thailand I dont know.49% its dodgy for sure.
  13. They got rid of smallpox a few years ago so there should not be any scars for about ten years,might be from TB jabs. I think they are now working to get rid of Polio.
  14. Just booked EVA Amsterdam -bangkok Euro 717 for june/july they now fly 777s instead of the old 747s that swung it for me,now lets hope they don't cancel.

  16. The latest Ubuntu.
  17. everything showed a big fat zero,thats cos i use linux.
  18. They don't check you when you leave Heathrow,unlike the Netherlands where you have to pay any outstanding fines or you ain't going anywhere till you cough up.
  19. Scotch bonnet is the hottest I have eaten or tried to I really could not deal with them,followed by the Thai birds eye. When you get up to those levels of heat/pain it all becomes a pissing contest anyway .
  20. KL with Malaysia is nearer to 900 Euro, KLM is almost a 1000, via singapore is a 15 hour trip to Amsterdam. Also the flight arrives in KL at 07:15 the flight to PP leaves 15:30. so whatever I do I have a long wait somewhere on the way. Though china/klm/eva all are a direct flight home Still 300 is a good saving I just have that wait on the way back
  21. Cairo has a new terminal so its not gonna be a sandpit, I always fly direct and a few hours on the way back is an option as long as it is a few hours I may be able to deal with it,300 euro saving is not to be sneezed at. One other thing is that bangkok is a stopover on the way to Snooky and the Egypt air flight arrives at 12:00, time to go through Immigration and get the Airasia flight to Phnom Penh without the 7 hour wait if I fly direct with China. The EVA or KLM flights that are the only other direct flights from Amsterdam arrive to late to make the Airasia connection Whatever option I choose China or Egypt its a long waitover somewhere.
  22. Flights with Egypt air Amsterdam to Bangkok via Cairo are available for under 500euro travel in January, now that's a very very good deal the next best with China is 800 euro. Its 15 hours outward but over 19 return, I would take it at that price but I have not found any recent reviews about punctuality maybe its not a problem,I don't need a drink to fly in fact I don't like to drink and fly so no problem with dry flights. Its that punctuality thats a worry 19 hours and some delays may not be worth the 300 savings. Also the Euro is slipping down so maybe no trip next year.
  23. I am checking flights from Amsterdam for Jan-Feb EVA have direct Euro731 add about 20 for CC charge and booking fee and its a 100 cheaper than last year. Egypt Quatar Quantas Turkish Finn air All have flights a bit cheaper but check out how long the stopovers can be!!!!
  24. EVA do direct flights from amsterdam with 777s and they have screens in every seat If you have to fly to Heathrow to connect Schiphol is a good alternative.
  25. Glad you like it,but it still seems a rubbish place to stay just like it always was. musty rooms noisy kids/guests golf duh rude owner Good location though. never get me there again not even for a meal.
