Now, Tommy, be nice now. I think they were underrated for a while. In Economy, good service, good food and 34" seat pitch with personal TVs make it one my fave airlines. Though, if I don't feel like stopping over in KL I might try Evergreen Deluxe. I may take a look at the pricing of the China Airlines Premium seating.

My favourite airline, so far.

May not be neccesary to buy one if your current model is serviceable. Having a Thai number makes it easier to conduct you affairs whilst in the LOS. :)

That's the point of this thread. To enable you to place a local SIM card, costing from around six pounds, into your existing mobile or indeed a mobile you choose to buy in the LOS. From then, your calls will cost you 8 pence(11 cents) per minute for national calls and around 55 pence(70 cents) per minute back to the UK. No charge for receiving calls. SMS 5 pence (7 cents) nationally and 15 pence(21 cents) internationally. Simply slip your Vodaphone SIM back into the phone when you return to the UK.

Cheap as chips. Maybe they have a whacking premium on the utility rates.. Of course, you wouldn't stay there if they did.

Just behind it on Soi 3 is the Sunshine Vista Serviced Apartment. http://www.ehotelbooking.com/thailand/patt...vicedapartment/ There's more info further down in this section.

Make sure you speak to someone there who CAN negotiate on the price. These are the walk in prices: The daily prices offered to me were; 1100 Superior room 1500 Studio 1920 Exec studio Monthly: 24k 27k 28.5k respectively These were the prices before negotiation. It was indicated that they would accept an offer, es

By the 'public bus' do you mean the Airport Bus A3? (100 baht) http://www.into-asia.com/bangkok/airport/b.../bus_routes.php or a 'public' bus http://www.bmta.co.th/engversion/eng_version.htm

They do have pick ups from certain hotels. Though, as stated, there are numerous options available.

That's fair enough. :)

I've just updated the info on my original post. It may be of interest for some.

The are a fair amount of options here, including private minibuses, bookable in hotels for around 350 baht. The best value is Thai Limousine at 200 baht. http://www.thaiair.com/thailand/limousine/res_info.htm http://www.thaiair.com/thailand/limousine/...es.htm#Schedule

Thanks for the info, mike, irishman.

They have a £380 fare at the moment.

Not anymore, see my £380 post. 8)

www.ebookers.com have a special offer to Bangkok for £380 inc taxes. It's listed as a Special Fare without naming the airline. The airline is EVA Air. Don't let on you know.

I booked rows 21 outbound and 22 inbound for a couple of girlfriends, as it appears to has a 2:2 configuration as opposed to the 2:4:2 from 26 onwards. They were suitably pleased. I haven't had the pleasure of flying with them yet.

There is an offer of £380 inc tax from ebookers. Oops, too late.

That's a little sad. Mai pen rai.

carcareers That's disgusting. In fact, I make it 424 baht per night they ripped you off for. The special weekly rate is 15900. For two weeks 31800. Divided by 14 is 2271. They charged 2695 per night. That's a difference of 424 baht per night. They are not a charity. It should be up to you what you do with that $10 nightly. I would write to the email address and get a deal out of them. Either complimentary nights(unlikely) or at least allowance for you to book at the 15900 weekly price at a date of your choosing and a possible upgrade. Also, send a PM to the guy who posted the deal

Are you speaking of internet access via LAN or just one which has computers on site? The former: http://www.centrepoint.com/

carcareers Have you noticed how the Centrepoint rates have shot up? As a regular do they give you favourable prices? I rented the 2 bedroom 183 sq. m. apartment at Silom for 4200 per night. The next year it was around 8000! Now I think it's around 7000. This is all between 14 months. Ludicrous? BTW is the accommodation at the Solitaire for 2450 a one room apartment? Also, if I recall correctly, there was a special weekly rate of about 15900 all inclusive. Is this the rate you paid or did you pay the daily price?

10 baht to Jomtien!! I paid 20! I've been ripped!! :)

I think the special weekly rate for the Solitaire is around 15000.
