Thanks mate for your advice. Will follow this strategy in August.

For airport train they have a website (I found it using google) - http://www.bangkokairporttrain.com/news.html For 389 bus they have a website (I found it using google) - http://www.airportpa...varnahbumi.html

Over recent years I've watched episodes of Wagon Train, Beverley Hillbillies, Bewitched, McHales Navy, Dad's Army, Whose the Boss are ones I recall. Lately, we have Green Acres, Seinfeld, Friends, F Troop, Gilligan's Island, Family Ties, Cheers, Happy Days off the top of my head. But the one series I have been praying many many years for a rerun is one I used to come home from primary school and never missed an episode. It gave me a basic education about the American Indians, scenery, hunting skills etc. Name of the show ......................... Daniel Boone I hope I get to watch

Appreciate all the transport options. I'm always adding info to my research notes for future reference. Thanks for your time. Cheers

To update: Black Caviar won her 20th race Sat. before last at Morphetville in Adelaide (attracted a 30,000 crowd). Supposedly having one more start this Sat. in Aust. (Goodwood Hcp - Morphetville) and then heading for Ascot. No other horse comes close to her here so I will be interested in how she measures up over in Britishmieland.

I first visited in 2006. Took a walk along the boardwalk inspecting the beach (and other sights) and walked away declaring the beach off limits. Sounds like some things never change. My last visit I headed straight for Koh Larn for my beach fix. Thanks for the pics of Asia beach. I knew of it, just never visited. Will check it out next time, as well as Bang Saray.

Last June I tried to get a room there for my last 6 nights but no rooms were available. I was not surprised as I had watched the construction progress and post opening reports regarding both the accom. and restaurant on another board. I did, however, dine there on two occasions. It is my no. 1 place to take a lady for a romatic dinner before partaking in 'dessert'.

Lantern, thanks for the directions. Duly noted for my next visit. Cheers

Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you and all fellow BMs.

It's threads like these that I can usually pickup additional info for my Pats file. As I stayed at Chow Soy this year I walked past Seaside 11 a few times. I was aware of it for brekkie but never got there. Next trip and I hope to try a roast dinner there as well (as recommended). I've added Butcher's Arms to my list but I don't know where along Soi Boukow it is located. Shouldn't be hard to find out.

No more or less inane than many other threads started by BMs IMHO. As a member of tripadvisor,virtual tourist,travellerspoint and travelfish, I am always wary of negative reviews when the majority are positive (within a similar time period).

I had dinner here on 2 occasions last June (different barfines). First time, I ordered the shredded chilli beef but couldn't eat all of it, forced it on to the gf haha. I'm not a food connissuer (spelling) but I enjoyed everything I ate. My second visit was with my mate and his "tgf' for her birthday. My mate is a self-proclaimed food expert and he gave the food a thumbs up. Anyway, a very nice place for a romantic dinner. As far as prices went, still a shitload cheaper than back here in Oz. Having followed the construction, staff hiring, service training etc on another board I expected everyt

Thanks for the TR. Brought back some memories from my trip in 2010. I had read about the female relations laws before I went, hence I made a point of keeping my nose clean. Focused on great scenery, cheap eating and drinking. When I was in Luang Prabang I spent a day out at Kuang Si Waterfalls, 30kms out of town. "Baht" type buses take you out there. I asked at my guesthouse what was a fair price to pay. More passengers equates to less cost. My guesthouse arranged a ride through one of their friends. I shared the ride with 4 young backpackers. Admission to the park was 20K. Take bug spray,

Visited China Garden last month on 2 occasions. Once with my BF. The other to celebrate my mates BG's birthday. I loved the ambience and the service, I can't afford this back in Oz. My BF helped me out with my spicy shredded beef. I know it's knew but I felt like I was dining in a classy restaurant. I will be returning next year.
