It's on the right of the Thai immigration booths.At the moment it's the very last two booths,it wasn't even signposted in January. The airport web site gives the same location to be permanent and temporary,it seems to be in a permanent state of construction.Its a bit of a trek from where you disembark.The aircrew an diplomats have their own lanes.Theres new cameras at check in and immigration, biometric or facial recognition,maybe both.No lines for passport check when leaving, automatic gates.Dont be an overstayer.

It's the security that's the problem when leaving , everyone is funneled but there's nobody to direct us to the right lane.The airport is the busiest I've ever known it.One good thing is no need to get stamped out,there are automatic gates,as long as everything is ok !

I found it ok arriving in bangkok,it's at the farthest immigration booths.not really obvious.Didnt find it leaving, hopefully I will be wiser next time.

Each step of the booking I had to tick a box that I understood the economy basic restrictions,only 7kg hand luggage,no checked luggage,no seat choice,NO extras.Its a very good price.

I've just booked with Etihad.Return Amsterdam-Bangkok €673.only carry on and no seat selection.Should not be a problem as long as I only need the toilet once each leg.It arrives Bangkok 18:05 I might book a taxi or spend a couple of nights in Bangkok.I can use the priority passport lane and no waiting for a bag,I have options.

My mistake it was in the Het Parool

Headline in today's De Telegraaf. KLM have been misleading people for years with special offers, that are in fact unbookabale.I could have told them that.Dont forget to clear your cache etc.

The extra charges are how they make their money.They are mercenary and brutal.I payed 60 euro to reserve a seat on a KLM flight a good few years ago,I learned my lesson.

I normally fly EVA they allow 2 bags.He should book direct with the airline and/or read what the luggage allowance is.Its getting worse it's 45 Euros or pounds.

€45 for each leg is the going rate. I've put my stuff in a locker at Pattaya self storage,mainly I'm done with dragging that wheeled duffle behind me.I was hoping that with just a carry on I would get the cheaper flights,I can but there's no pre booking a seat of choice.Its impossible to say what it will cost to get a seat of choice,untill you actually buy a ticket! Getting an aisle seat is important for me.So I will have to go one step up to get a standard seat,that also is a limited selection.And don't go overweight with the carry-on,they have us over a barrell.I might visit a mate in Chiang Mai next year and may well take the train.

English breakfast sausages are in the deep freeze on Klang,along with Warburton's crumpets muffins and a white sliced! There was some pies and beef wellington but I don't have a oven or air fryer.

Its got for sale 148k.

It was very smokey and the smell of burning is still there now

T.I.T

If that's on Klang? There's no ticket or notice on windscreen so I guess it's an anti theft measure.

I saw a big display in the bigC extra on Klang,that was in February.

Supposed to be coming this year to the EU. Did a custom declaration for Bali this year,no problem.Trying to get a visa online was a world of pain and frustration.

My understanding is that after a set date! The earliest I have seen is 2030! All NEW vehicles sold will be electric.I don't know of any laws that have been confirmed.In the UK that would require an act of Parliament.Not sure if that's the case for Scotland,Wales and NI.How that's going to work in practice in the US is anybody's guess.Google tells me there are 286 million cars on the road in the US.9.3 % are electric.13.5 million trucks.above10,000 pounds.Then there's the buses and agricultural, construction etc.Are you saying that only electric vehicles will be on the road in California from 2035? Is that a law?

In this little town I can hear the fast fat bikes coming,probably a bit noisier in London.

It is happening organically really.The bit that's being forced is getting the really bad polluters of the street.Thats the diesel vans mostly that are never serviced or maintained,that's a european problem.They need to be forcibly scrapped if necessary.The biggest fable is that the internal combustion engine is going to be outlawed by 2030-2035 that's not true.All the new cars that are being sold now will still be running in 2040 and longer.Some activists and politicians want no new petrol cars to be sold after 2030 that's a wish not a fact.My street is full of parked cars as are the surrounding streets,how they are going to be charged if they were all electric is a mystery.There are electric cars on the street but the only charging station I know of is outside the supermarket.They have just finished the purpose build terminus for the buses for charging, maintenance and parking here in Purmerend.

I've booked a place for the first 4 weeks just off Klang close to the bigC,I can cancel anytime up to Christmas.Its reasonably quite there and it's about as far out as I want to be.There is a chance that I can stay in mate's condo,will know in October/November fingers crossed.

I live in Purmerend a small town 20k north of Amsterdam.The buses are in the process of going all electric,it's a massive improvement.The sooner all motorized traffic is all electric the better.its much much quieter on the street,the main noise is from the tire's and the odd boy racer on the motorbikes,that's a summer problem.The old noisy scooters are being phased out,they have to wear helmets and ride on the roads in towns and cities.The kids are now on the souped up fatbikes they whizz around up to 45k,cue much clutching of pearls and laws to be passed.Go into a bike shop and it's almost only e-bikes.I know some are against going electric but it's going to improve the quality of life for everyone,noise and pollution fre streets.It really is a win win.

I am in Pattaya/Jomtien from 3 January till 26 February.I have for over 25 years stayed in hotels.For the longer stay I am looking for a condo/ apartment.What are the pitfalls and the red flags I should lookout for? Some of the Airbnb places have great prices but don't mention water and electricity etc.Booking.com have more places but much more expensive.The reviews especially for Airbnb are all over the place.VT 6 has a couple of places about €2200+ for 54 nights that seems like good deal.Any recommendations please,walking distance from the beach preferred but not a deal breaker. Cheers mike

I was looking for a place on Agoda,next January for 30 nights.The March hotel looks ok great location with a reasonable price.All the reviews give it a 10,given that I disregard the top ratings and lowest ratings I've not got a lot to go on.Anybody stayed there recently? Opinions gratefully received.

Doctor Google will explain the rota virus for you.Just don't mention that there's a vaccine for it,there's some sensitive souls on here.
