Sutus Court on the corner of soi lengkee and soi buakhao might suit you.

Ate there yesterday with the wife. Her Thai food was described as "ok but need more spicy" and my farang meal was quite good. The only problem was that her food arrived about 15 minutes before mine so we had to take turns watching each other eat. It should be fairly basic kitchen management to get orders for couples out at the same time although this seems to be a struggle for most restaurants in Thailand. As far as service was concerned, it would have been better if the black and blue dressed staff spent less time chatting with each other and more time helping the songkran shirt

Trolleys are free at LHR - at least in T2 and T3 which I have used recently. I assume T4 & T5 will be the same

Not sure if it is the same in Australia but from the UK they might not let you board the flight to Thailand if the return date is more than 30 days out and you don't either have a visa or another trip booked out of Thailand within the 30 days.

I came in on the TG911 (cheap seats) from London yesterday at 5.45am. Immigration took about 20 minutes and that was because of a few absolute fucking numpties in my queue who hadn't filled in their landing cards properly, despite them apparently being checked at the end of the immigration snake line. Otherwise it would have been about 10 minutes. Waited another 2 minutes for the bag and and was on my way.

Got 50.11 from the booth at junction of soi buakhao and pattaya klang on sunday. Today the same place was 49.87. For comparison the TT booths were 50.05 and 49.80 at the same time.

I regularly take 600 cigs from bkk duty free. Get stopped about half the time (think I must look guilty of something) and, when they ask I just say I have got a few hundred extra. My experience has been that they don't give a fuck at that sort of number. A couple of times thaey have even said "that's not very much". Then they rummage through the bag and I am on my way with no problem. MY OPINION - don't take the piss by taking a thousand or more through and don't lie if they ask what you have got. Be friendly and don't complainif they stop you just go with the flow. They really want the

very short trailer for it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02fqyx8 thought it was a piss take to start with...

We went in this complex at about 9.30 yesterday. Sat at the bar next to this one for about 40 minutes. Obviously early days for your new bar but zero customers and a single disinterested girl sat on her arse watching the TV and making no effort to get passers by to stop for a drink wasn't a god sign. You probably need to be a bit more hands-on with the management to build it up and create a bit of a buzz for a while. Fully understand it may have just been bad timing and the place may have been jumping at other points in the evening. Best of luck with it anyway - it's guys like you who take t

Saw this on the BBC and it made me chuckle. Man calls Solihull police to complain about prostitute's looks A man has been warned after he dialled 999 to complain about a prostitute's looks after meeting her. West Midlands Police said they were contacted by the caller who said he "wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act". The force said the call was received at about 19:30 BST on Tuesday complaining that the woman was not as attractive as she had claimed. Officers have now sent the man a letter warning him about wasting police time. West Midlands P

Looks like my Christmas trip will be on a nice new aeroplane. Taken from Thai Air UK site: On December 1, 2013 Thai Airways daily service between London Heathrow and Bangkok will be jet-propelled into the 21st century when the worlds largest aircraft, the A380, comes into operation on the route. The A380 is just the latest advance in THAIs 53-year pioneering history and another clear sign of its commitment to offering customers the most comfortable and environmentally friendly flights available allied to its incomparable THAI service. Whilst other airlines may also fly the

Well, I believe all of them. I doubt there is any reason to lie. A service such as Mr T. will not get it right 100% of the time. But based on the feedback it looks like he gets it right most of the time. If you happen to be one of the people he has let down then you will not be happy and you may take your business elsewhere. Others will be happy every time they use him and will go back again and again. I normally use Mr Toom and have never had a problem. Others have had different experiences and will not use him again. Personally I will keep using him unless and until the level of serv

On a related matter, what day will the mass exodus from Bangkok begin? I was planning to get a bus up to Korat on 10th April but saw some of the traffic going up highway 1&2 on 29h December last year for the new year and want to avoid anything similar.

The shop at Ripley's in Royal Garden mall has got them.

1. Bell bus to swampy. 2. Shuttle bus to the airport transport centre 3. Bus no. 554 to Don Muang. Cheap and easy, 3 hours all in. But in this heat? Fuck that. Taxi door to door and screw the cost.

I went to ko sichang for a couple of days and (in my opinion!!) it was crap. Nice for a day trip but fuck all going on in the evening. To get there, catch the bus going to bangkok up on sukhumvit road. Get off when it stops outside Robinsons in Sriracha. When you get off, walk to the right and you will see the tuk-tuks lined up. Get one of these to take you to the pier where you can catch the ferry over to the Island. From vague recollection it is only about 140 baht in total from Pattaya to the island. I stayed at the Sichang Palace Resort & Hotel in the small town. It is a short

I've bought a ticket on Thai for someone else before when I haven't been travelling with them.. On the Thai website, In there T&Cs if I remember correctly, there is link to a form you need to print out and take to the local Thai ticketing office (at the Dusit by the start of beach road) with the credit card. They validate the booking & card and authorise the form which you can then send over to your brother.

Fucking hell Glynbuk - talk about spoiling the moment.!!! Mind you if it is shite I'll never admit it as I've been gloating like fuck about it. I'll just lie and tell everyone it was magic. By the way, I've heard there is a smoking room in the first class lounge at BKK. Did you notice one while you were there? Cheers

The store is still there but it is now a Big C Extra rather than a Carrefore

The taxes are a fucking pain. Started as a "green" tax, now just another way for the government to take more of my (already taxed and N.I'd) income. But the thing that pisses me off even more are the fuel surcharges. I thought these were meant to cover sudden, unexpected increases in the price of fuel. Say where the airline basic ticket price had been set when the price of oil was £50 a barrel but then the price jumped to £75. But some of the airlines have been charging a fuel surcharge for about 5 or 6? years now. Its just a way of trying to hide the price, I expect in the hope that

I've done the trip (via Manilla) a couple of times on Cathay Pacific. Great service and, from memory, was the shortest overall journey time. Good prices too as they had special offers on!!

Thanks guys. The DLink thing looks like what I need. Much appreciated. Cheers

I should probably be asking this question in a "techie" forum but I'm not a member of any of them! So I'm hoping this is a problem someone here has encountered before and resolved. When I come over next week I'll be bringing my iPad which is wifi only. But one of the hotels I'm staying at for a few days only has wired Internet access. Is there a "gadget" I can buy that I can stick the hotel Internet cable in to to create a wireless signal? Needs to be something I cam just plug in and go with as I won't have a pc to use to configure anything? Cheers

I always book my seat with them by telling the travel agent, westeast normally, what I want and they reserve it for me. Sometimes I forget and phone them later and they can still do it after the booking has been made. Suggest you call who you booked with. If they can't help then call Thais reservations direct. Cheers

No, couldn't be arsed to be honest. Thai offerred a full refund if I wasn't happy with the change but that would just have left me with the hassle of rebooking something else. I've since found out that my non-refundable train tickets could be changed for a £10 fee so that's my only financial loss. At the end of the day it could have been worse. For example the floods could have disrupted things at the airport.........
