that's one hell of an explanation from chat GPT

years ago we went to Rarotonga via Auckland. We booked the flights with my wife having her married name but her passport was in her former name. They weren't going to let her on the plane in Auckland because they wouldn't let her into the Cook Islands as the names didn't match. In the end the let us on and we worried all the way there. When we landed the really relaxed immigration official didnt even look at the passports just stamped them and said Haere Mai.

I am wondering if anyone has been to the Anime Nightclub.

I looked at the reviews on booking.com there was a real mixture of nationalities. lots from UK and USA, a few Arabs (one complained of being treated as invisible and won't be back) and a few from India but definitely mostly white.

we have no Capital Gains Tax in New Zealand

it is definitely not the brother to water if its in the concebtrated form. I worked in a Gelatine factory and we used it as a steriliser. Had 1,000 litre tanks and it was piped throughout the factory. It was bloody dangerous stuff. One of the pipes developed a tiny leak and it dripped onto wood over a period of time. One night it caught fire and burnt the factory down.

the Tawandang in almost every city in Isaan are one company. They are nightclubs with live entertainment. the one in Bangkok is a totally different company. I've not been to the one on Pattaya, too many other options, and that may be permanently closed. The one in Bangkok is definitely open. Reservations are definitely a good idea, the menus are in both Thai and English. Note it's a German Restaurant with Thai entertainmemt and both German and English food.

no it is not safe on the roads. I would avoid hiring a scooter in Bangkok or Pattaya unless you have very good insurance. You are worried about being ripped off for a few baht in a taxi but willimg to risk your life. besides which hiring a scooter is probably more expensive than a local taxi.

Mary had a little lamb that used to sing the pops now thats all changed into mutton chops. When Mary had a little lamb the doctors were surprised. when Old McDonald had a farm they couldn't believe their eyes

near Pattaya i would suggest the Sanctuary of Truth, and Nong Nooch Gardens are places not to be missed. Forget Walking St for nightlife, Treetown, L K Metro, soi Diana and Soi Buakhau are the places to be and all close together. Wat Doi Suteph on the mountain above Chiang Mai is a must, visit an elephant village, and maybe whitewater rafting if you have the time. In Bangkok take the BTS to the river then a ferry up to the Royal Palace, the Reclining Buddha and the Emerald Buddha (all are together) then hire a tuktuk back to your hotel. Go for dinner at Tawandang German Restaurant, great food and amazing show.

well being an optimist I would say "if you kick the bucket first (probably because of DVT) it will no longer be your problem. Enjoy the upgrade

I loved the A380. Hawaiian to Hawaii and return. A couple of trips to Bangkok and back with Emirates. I don't normally look which plane is flying the route when booking,as they often change them. But I was highly pissed when the A380 I was booked on was changed to a 737

we had 2 massive earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. The first killed 2 people. The second killed 135 in the single multistory building that collapsed. The other 50 were killed in about 40 different places, mostly by masonry falling off buildings that otherwise remained intact. People were killed when they fled out of the building and debris fell on them, the people that stayed inside survived.

latest report here, 1 building collapsed, 8 people rescued, 1 died and 43 still missing. Hopefully most of those 43 will survive but after the earthquakes here I am not overly optimistic

so does that mean it's on the left side facing the immigration booths....the Thai only ones are to the right

it's not just domestic flights that charge a fortune. I got cheap flights to Melbourne and then to Bangkok and return with 7kg of carry on. My wife is visiting her sister in Sydney for part of the time I'm away. Return flights were $650 for carryon but added $300 for 30kg of checked baggage. Didn't pay for 3 different types of insurance or selected seat, she isn't big enough to need extra leg room. She does get a meal included. I'll buy food and a bottle of water at the airport to take on the plane.

they look bored as hell. surely a hansom man like you managed to cheer them up for a "shorttime"...555

I watched Mulholland Drive the day before he died. I thought maybe there was something wrong with me because I couldn't work out what the fuck was going on. Then I looked on Wikipedia about it...after all these years no one else can work it out either. That's the last David Lynch production I will ever watch.

North Island......it's too cold for him down here. He lives in a small coastal town too far from Auckland to drive easily. My mate flew that way from Christchurch in October. Christchurch to Auckland to China to Bangkok to Udon Thani. Took about 38 hours...to save less than $100.

I think you got it right. But it's way out of date, and wasn't really funny to anyone outside of the USA

it wasn't last Saturday it was months ago during the election campaign.

if you are looking for bi-girls to join you and play with both then there are hundreds on offer. Gentleman's clubs or Kink upstairs are almost guaranteed to have at least a couple of girls who are interested. I have no idea about finding bi-guys if that's your thing but maybe try joing thaifriendly. I have seen the occasional woman on thaifriendly who is looking for action for her and a male partner.

I love the group of people in the centre of the last group of photos. A group of authentic Pattaya residents in their diverse glory.

choosing an airline always carries some risk. There is no way I'll ever fly Qantas again after being stuck in Sydney airport for 14 hours because they had a dispute with their engineers and our plane got black-banned. The entire time no one told us what was going on, just said the plane will be here in an hour, then the same thing 2 hours later 6 times. no apology, no compensation and McDonald's vouchers for food. I've flown Jetstar without problems, this is a direct flight, I only have carry-on. I'll take the risk on delays to save $600. That's 12,000 bhat I can spend on better things than a comfortable seat and an airline meal. I would point out the luggage xray has nothing to do with Jetstar they didn't pack the bags. But you have got a good price for a full service airline like Singapore.
