Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

  1. A 4-0 win for the Giants last night in Game 4. Texas 3-1 down would need 3 wins, 2 in San Francisco. Not impossible but very unlikely.
  2. Both sides would have been the outsiders in their respective Championship showdowns. I felt Texas could be difficult opponents for the Yankees but I expected the Philles to win the National League comfortably. I expected Texas to dominate the World Series but they are now in big trouble 2-0 down. The Texas bats so far have not turned up at all. They need to find form very quickly to turn things around.
  3. I have been looking at LHR-BKK flights for Dedcember. The times of the flights are incorrect.
  4. People from Norn Iron can apply for a British or Irish Passport. He may have been travelling on an Irish Passport.
  5. If there are long lines at immigration it can be beneficial to walk along the main corridor and try the other immigration area.
  6. fopa, I was considering Sabai Lodge for a stay in July. I appreciate your up to date comments re construction noise and will abandon any plans to stay there. It is regrettable that extremely useful reports like this can at times be subjected to silly comments.
  7. Gus, I am going out in February and returning in March. I booked Evergreen de Luxe online in September Ams-Bkk Euro1031 about StgĀ£785 at the moment. I have booked my last few trips online. I note that there has been a huge hike on online fares Ams-Bkk. For a prospective trip in July-August they are now quoting Euro 1320. For price reasons and better connections I will go through Heathrow for that trip.
  8. Yes they still have Evergreen on the Amsterdam-Bangkok route.
  9. Is the picture relevant. I am on dial up here. In micky mouse Ireland we have one of the worst broadband penetration rates in Europe. I am losing the will to live.
  10. joekicker, Very helpful post. If I may presume a bit further on your knowledge of the subject, am I correct in assuming there are more central passport offices if you are staying in the Soi 4 Sukh area.? In my TG's case it would be a 1st passport so she will need ID, tapian ban(house book) going there. Is the house book some kind of a birth certificate I wonder?
  11. Very good useful advice in this thread. Thanks guys.
  12. They are still using the 747's on the Amsterdam-Bangkok route. Evergreen Deluxe much more comfortable than Elite. Same 38" seat pitch but wider seats and space at the rear to stand up from time to time if you wish without being in everyone's way. I have booked my last few trips on Eva's website costing 200 Euro more than economy. Well worth the extra IMO.
  13. Very noticeable that this switch from Shannon to Belfast was "delayed" until after the election. I am convinced this is a political decision, perhaps a sweetener for the peace process. Who knows what part our beloved Teeshock has in this affair. In contrast he has fudged making any decisions about the appalling Dublin Airport for years, in case he might upset the unions many of whom live in his constituency.
  14. Likewise. I signed up for yahoo messenger about 2 months ago and use it to call TG at 5 US cents per minute. Calls back to Ireland to landlines were 2 cents per minute.
  15. " I admire a woman with spirit " O'Reilly to Sybil before she began to belt the s..t out of him with her umbrella.
  16. Disregarding short flight from Ireland I prefer to go direct. Last 5 or 6 I have gone elite class with Eva from London. 38" seat pitch makes the journey far less demanding. Next trip I am going through Amsterdam. They still use 747's on this route so I am looking forward even more to Evergreen De Luxe. Same 38" seat pitch but wider seats and space at the back to watch the world go by.
  17. A man boarded a plane at Sydney airport and, taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the aircraft. He realised she was heading straight towards his seat, and bingo! She took the seat right beside him. Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out: "Business trip or holiday?" She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniac Convention in the United States ." The man swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs!
  18. Bella Villa Prima Soi 4 rooms are non smoking. Outside verandah for smokers. Small pool. 1500 baht per night. Never had 2 friends overnight myself so unable to help on this aspect.
  19. Terrific location, but I have read dozens of bad reports on the place in the last few years.
  20. You sound like a policitician Welcome to the board.
