Try Tan's Taxi Service. I prefer to use her services. I have travelled from Pattaya and Bangkok to Korat, Kanchanaburi, Cha Am and Hua Hin and have never had a disappointment. Have a look at her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tantaxipattaya/

Unsure what you are getting at with the 'vinegar' statement. Vinegar IS the remedy for most jellyfish stings (and is used widely in Australia) but it should not be used on Box Jellyfish (Sea Wasp) stings, as it makes them worse. Maybe I missed the joke....

Mate, I was flying Singapore Airlines and the onboard seat screen has a selection that gives you the connecting flights info., which tells you flight numbers, terminal routes and departure gate for your flight. The gate must have changed after we landed from Sydney. I was lucky in one way - even though I got to the new gate after takeoff time, there was an electrical storm in the Gulf of Thailand and my flight to Bangkok was delayed (as were many others). The sad part is I had to wait for another hour and a half for the flight to go; all of us locked in at the gate....

I know exactly what you are saying. In April, I limped along with my walking stick for the whole length of a terminal without any help, only to find he Departure Gate for my flight had been changed and I had to walk bak halfway again. No help arrived. On the return flights,I didn't have to change terminals, but a lovely lady pulled up in a golf cart and transported me to my Gate.

Not quite understanding; the internal trains in Singapore (Changi) work well - it only takes a matter of seconds between terminals, although it IS a long way between one end of each terminal to the other.

Yes, Bruce, I too will be in Thailand when it starts, up in the jungle, but (sadly) will be going back to Aust. a week or so later.

I have already commented on this thread but, a couple of years ago, I received a similar response when I tried my oft dailylog in. I tried a couple of times, but to no avail. I then went right out of the site, Googled 'Pattayatalk', found another link and logged in via that one. I have never had a similar problem since. So, there are glitches that occur occasionally. Such is life.

I don't know. I just clicked on the link you have on the first line of you post and it took me straight into this forum. Maybe different here, in Australia.

Probably all the diesel and shrubbery fires that VP178 is lighting daily, up north.... 😉

Fantastic street food selection. Love it.

There is no way I'll ever fly Jetstar again! I flew direct from Sydney to Phuket and then return from Bangkok to Sydney. It was a nightmare. The return went via Melbourne (J.Star's home) and everybody had to have luggage X-rayed and inspected in Customs, due to some Chinese passengers having illegal foodstuffs. Many of us missed connecting flights (mine to Sydney) and had to wait over 12 hours for the staff to sort out alternate flights. No compensation, no food, and we were all very tired after an all night flight in cramped conditions, with out even water, unless we paid for it. Good luck on

They certainly are a couple of dragons....

Wondering if the fat (Chinese??) Buddha is there as a model for the future Thai female Buddha images. The ones of the past are all of slim stature.

R.I.P. - it was my signpost when i was wandering down WS looking for FLB.

Although smaller, it could become something like the old Bangkok Tobacco Monopoly (Benchakitti Park). It has become a lovely place to walk or cycle around. It is just off the end of Soi 4, Sukhumvit (if you haven't been there).

Well, I'm glad my fares to and from LOS are paid for (travelling over Thursday). The way this middle east war is escalating, oil prices should soon rocket skywards very soon. Or, at least in Australia....

I haven't been there either, but last year I transited through Hong Kong (via Cathay Pacific) and, due to the plane being late into HK, I missed my connection to Bangkok. The airline was great and had me on the next connection and my baggage was first off and transferred quickly. The only problem I had was having to wait in the terminal for 2 hours. I didn't have any Chinese currency and (of course) all ATMs are outside the security area. I found a bar that had a large Guinness sign and, as I was thirsty, I thought I'd have a pint or two. It was a Gordon Ramsay place. I asked a server if I cou

Should be in Chiang Mai - my daughter just was:

Who has volunteered to paint them all white with black spots?🙃

Sad that he is gone.

Was it very early, or is the town deserted?

Ah, getting better by the day.
