OnMyWay

I've never flown China but have flown Thai and would have no reason to go anywhere else. Service is great and the planes are clean. Never been late one time. My 2 baht worth... Mark

Jimmybb- There is the good and bad....I am so tight i fart in a high pitched C note. But, My hands are not as large as you prefer nor does my adams apple protrude like a misplaced elbow. Then again...maybe you like writing more stories about sad admissions that you hate making?? By the way, when you got back to the room and (S)he told you just to lay on your stomach and relax....was that not a red flag or was your mind a blur with anticipation?? ;D Mark Mark

I got out my sunglasses....two of these pics left me damned near blind with all the white skin! :-) Mark

Real80- I fly LAX to BKK on Thai Airlines. The service is great and food, teriffic! 45 minute layover in Tokyo both ways so it's quick. 8 days until "wheels up"! Chok Dee, Mark

Anyone wanting to share a taxi from Nana to Pattaya on May 11th let me know. 12 days until wheels up!! Chok dee, Mark

As of February the music was turned down to 100 decibles and the lighst dimmed a bit but the bars kept serving until about 4-5am. That was on Soi 8. Hope that helps.... Mark

Taiko- I would but i'm leaving BKK 12 hours before you arrive. But, I'll meet up for a beer with you in Pattaya. Mark

RCJ- Give www.seatguru.com a try. It has the configurations for the different planes with a breakdown on the sizes. Hope that helps, Mark

Pat- Maybe try www.seatguru.com and see what you can come up with. You'll get a good idea of each seat on the plane and the one's to avoid. Hope that helps... Mark

Iceman- You and I are there the same time. I was quoted 880 for sea view room. Let me know if you are interested in a brew or two! Mark

Hello- Right on Beach Road about Soi 11 (I'm guessing on the Soi) there is a larger gym. Give it a shot, not too bad. Mark

I too have taken Thai Air and the service was superb! I've not taken Finair. Enjoy the flight... Mark

Dave, Book the room and save yourself the trouble. It's not too mutt fun running around with luggage trying to find a room at the wee hours of the morning. And, think of the bigger picture...there HAS to be something else you would rather be doing!! ;D ;D Enjoy the trip- Mark

I guess being American I'm not used to this phrase "right tit". So, I'm going to ask a dumb question....what's so wrong with left tits? I've seen many tits and always in pairs. ;D But, I'm not sure what could be wrong with the left tit as opposed to the right one. Maybe it's a UTAH thing! Mark

Soi7- That's a great deal! I just have one question.....what's the segment from Manila to BKK going to cost when she decides to turn up and see the "golf" game you tell her about?!?!? ;D ;D ;D Mark

Valentinoxxx- Guest Friendly or no? How do the accomodations compare to the NANA hotel? Thanks for the reply! Mark

Hello, Wondering if anyone has heard of the Woraburi Hotel in BKK and has any information on it? Hotel looks great and price is right, 1100baht for large suite! I'm not sure how far down Soi 4 it is from the NEP though. www.woraburi.com Any info is helpful... Thanks, Mark

Voltalk, Send me a message or email and I'll give you the dates I'm in town so we can have a cold one. Between the two of us we should be able to navigate curbs and Beach Road without being run over by baht busses! Mark

Try Beach Road just after Soi 11 (I think) and there is one that's fast. It's 2 baht a minute but ask for a membership where you can pre-pay for 300 minutes and it's much cheaper. I was there in Janaury and it's got air con and the lines are FAST. Hope that helps, Mark

Voltalk, I'm not familiar with the equestrian (i'm not thinking of riding horses in Pattaya! ;D) center but I will be in LOS in May and if you want to meet up for a beer just let me know... Have a great trip! Mark

$27 from LAX to BKK in January on Thai!! That was for the taxes after they debited my account 120,000 miles for flying first class. Mark

I was in LOS just recently and never was asked to pay any up front fee other than the occasional bar fine. But, I think I would have asked for the check bin and headed down the road 2-3 meters to the next den of illrepute! Mark

By the way....I just booked Flipper Lodge for a time in May and got a sea-view room for 850 baht a night. They responded to email within 24 hours and confirmed. Try www.flippergroup.com Hope that helps, Mark

Andy, Lucky you...you are beating me back! I was there in Janaury and February and will be back again in May. Have a good time and maybe we can meet up next time. Thanks, Mark

I paid 1000 baht for taxi each way on my last visit and it's my understanding that's about the going rate. Hope that helps... Mark
