Are you planning to fly in first now that this change has been made? Reading 100's of these posts about .00001% of boardies (and that's generous) fly in business class let alone first so other than changing the plane, it is still a plane with a bunch of coach seats, so what's the value of the info? Are you flying in F on Etihad or Qatar? Because nobody here will be.

Bangkok Airport Fast Track Immigration Service
Grandpollo replied to Greg_B's topic in Airline Discussion
No, sorry. I get them from Cathay on arrival and departure. Though they are not date stamped, they just have a CX stamp on them. I have to write the flight number on them so to me they would be good forever until used. -
Dengue Fever on the rise
Grandpollo replied to lovedog100's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
There is no bleeding from the non hemorrhagic version (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever or DHF) which affects few people and mostly people who have been infected before. The rest are classic Dengue the aches and the rash in particular. I have been in Central America for 7 years and nobody I know has known anyone with DHF and the local health ministry reports maybe a dozen cases a year and this is where tens of thousands of people get it. Don't worry about DHF but let me tell you Dengue alone is the living shits by itself so prevention makes sense. -
Dengue Fever on the rise
Grandpollo replied to lovedog100's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
The basic symptoms are like the flu with way worse joint pain. The big risk is hemorrhagic fever which if treated right is not fatal and if not can be. If you start bleeding from your eyes or anus that's what we in the medical profession call a bad sign. -
Dengue Fever on the rise
Grandpollo replied to lovedog100's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
I really doesn't affect the average person for six months. And the good news there are only four serotypes and you're immune after infection for each one so at worst if you don't get DHF after 4 bouts you'll never get it again. I've had it twice so yay, half way there. Good advice using DEET that's the gold standard for protection. If you can get ( the Canadian brand Muskol) you're set. -
Can the settings within topics be set, when you go into a topic/post you automatically go to the newest content? Here you have to select go to first unread post in each topic with the menu item at the top of the topic. There is another board named after people who cannot quit drugs), and they have the same software though much smaller fonts, and there when you pick show new since last visit it is the latest unread post in that topic.. Same software must do the same thing, I'd think. I cannot find a setting (My Settings) to do this.

If I have a "Does anyone know this girl" question,
Grandpollo replied to bigdelta's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
She's had the surgery, you know so it is not all gay - sort of 1/2 gay or maybe not even gay at all. Even if it is, it's your business who to kanoodle with, so go for it if you like. Here's a lot of photos of her. http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/52744-cherry-bar-party-cakes-birthday/ -
You will be killed in your room
Grandpollo replied to Hami123456's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Why are you being such a dick? Your first post was senseless and without context. And you need 10 more to mention something pointless about an idiot expecting a toothbrush at Tim's Hotel, wow. And you could have put it in the hotel section where it could be ignored as senseless there but at least in the right section. -
Cathay Pacific by far. Their first class is so far above business class for nearly the same price at least from here. The only chance I have to eat caviar anywhere not that it tastes that great. Six seats two flight attendants and two bogs. Plus pajamas. Ground service at Hong Kong and even BKK is great.

Five extraordinary airport lounges-from CNN
Grandpollo replied to bigdelta's topic in Airline Discussion
Only their First Class lounge not the Business Class ones. They follow the Lufthansa FC model in Frankfurt. Private security and immigration, that sort of thing. I use the Wing (also listed) in Hong Kong every trip and it is very nice but HKIA doesn't have the speed security sort of thing. That said it is so efficient you can hardly notice. -
You can't sleep during this type of procedure (or dental with IV sedation) as you would have to be intubated on a respirator. And for many procedures conscious sedation calls for you to be able to respond to commands, which you can't if fully sedated. The drugs they use principally Propofol (adminstered somewhat more responsibly than Michael Jackson) and Versed and Fentanyl. The first two give you anteretrogade amnesia which means you remember the anethesiologist putting in the IV then nothing. All three drugs have very short half-lives measured in minutes so when they are done, they turn off the tap and you come out of it pretty quick.

I found with my old girlfriend Ludmilla Wyzyowski that dinner and a movie was a good way to start her up..

I am going out on a limb and suggest you might look for her at Cherry Bar. Or their website with photos. -
Bangkok Airport Fast Track Immigration Service
Grandpollo replied to Greg_B's topic in Airline Discussion
Did you note they actually don't have any for sale? Thus I can offer non existent ones for 1/2 the price. Since I dont have to fulfill the deal either. I don't trust any old site on the interweb with nothing but a Paypal and a promise anyway. If you are in Bangkok you can try a large travel agency who will sell these cards. They are the same for in and out of the airport and they don't have an expiry date so you can buy several for the cost of the full service and save them. You can also get them in J or F and if you see a small crowd in regular immigration then save the card for later. Of course if you fly J or F all the time there is no later so then don't. The chap above sandmen seems to have paid the cost to the immigration officer. I wouldn't count on that but it worked. It might appear like a bribe to the more officious of them. They sure try to appear unfriendly. -
New First Class Bus Khon Kaen to Pattaya
Grandpollo replied to Dr Mick's topic in Transport in Thailand
How much and how much to fly if there is a airport close by? 18 hours + round trip is a lot of time gone. -
Yes. Yes. I would not buy a used sex toy from anyone. And anyone who is not going to the soup line to eat will I hope think the same.

Grandpollo replied to Greg_B's topic in Airline Discussion
I can sell them for 120 since I don't have them just like they don't have any to sell as they say in the ad. Just pay the proper amount and don't be so cheap. -
Quite a difference between a chair where people fat or not have sat wearing pants and underclothes and a sex swing that has been visited by both sweat and bodily fluids. This is the type of thing stores don't refund as it is unhygenic. Partial trade for previously worn underwear? They'll be washed, of course.

Can you get NEXIUM over the counter in Pattaya?
Grandpollo replied to rightsaid's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Since Dosate and Miracid are not the same as Nexium, you can quote prices for Tylenol and be no less helpful. Neither are "generic" Nexium. The two aforementioned are Omeprazole and Nexium is Esomeprazole, and Nexium is taken by people who don't get relief from Omeprazole which is common. Esomeprazole is an S-enantiomer (mirror image isomer) of Omeprazole. Omeprazole (Losec and Prilosec may even be more recognized names) are not even prescription drugs in most countries any more. In a pinch taking twice the dose of Omeprazole might offer relief and in a pinch they would be better than nothing if antacids were added. What would help the guy, and I'd do this were I there, is to ask my pharmacy how much Nexium costs then post that here. Usual is 40 mg. -
Locking attache case vs room safe?
Grandpollo replied to SmellyFarang's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Tips Use the small Pacsafe which is a bag about 10" or so. Buy a small Pelican box which is hard plastic. Put the valuables in the box, then the box in the Pacsafe, lock it and put the works in the safe . Sneaky staff with master keys won't get far nor a TG if the door is left ajar. Also bring AA batteries. It takes no time to change them and the protection beats whining over lost stuff for the sake of $3 in batteries. And stay in less dishonest shitholes as mentioned. -
There must be some (other) decent go-go to go-go to-to that doesn't require 143 posts to clarify terms, at which point it is not yet clear as to how to take advantage of the promotion or if one can.

Like most other US gold coins this is not 24K. Those that are: Canada Maple Leaf Krugerrands Pandas All are 1 troy oz. bullion coins, of .999 or .9999 pure. And the Canada maple sells at a lower premium over spot sometimes by quite a bit. The US gold coin is .9675 oz. of gold in a 22K mix like Thai baht gold.
