It gives the ambulances more space to park when they come to pick up the bodies! KM

Nams Taxis. There is a thread running about her. Normally does airport runs and is very good, but I believe she does other taxi work too. KM

Yes, definitely. I went about 3pm, which in hindsight was a bit early if you intend staying late to watch the bands and have a few beers. Some very good bands, including Goober Gun, a British rock band. They're playing at the Blue Lagoon in Pattaya on Valentines Day (5pm) according to their website and well worth seeing. I went up by bike and it was easy parking and easy enough when leaving about midnight. Bands were booked to play from 5.30 and the last one to START playing at 2.40 am!! There a few cars, not masses. There are a lot of cars vying for the Battle of the Stereos and they are VE

I went up this afternoon, mainly just to find out where it was. Had a ride around it then stopped and chatted to a couple of Brit guys about what's on. Tomorrow (well today actually!) they said to get there early afternoon and will go on till late with some pretty good bands playing. I shall be going around 2pm and stopping until i'm all biked out!! KM

I've seen that this takes place on 12-13th Feb (bike week only two days??) and that it is at the Eastern National Sports Training centre Soi Chaiyapruek 2 - but that's all I know. Does anyone have any further details about this event or series of events over the next few days? They have a Facebook page, but I'm not a FB member and cannot view it. Many thanks KM

I've edited the title so hopefully no-one else gets caught out. Someone else had already moved it to the correct forum. Play nice guys. KM

Good games yesterday. Italy were so unlucky not to come away with a huge feather in their cap by almost beating France at home. France seemed to be slow starting both halves and Italy showed they didn't just come to make up the numbers. This could be their best ever 6 Nations. Good win for England, who have yet to concede a try at Murrayfield since 2004. Steadied the ship a bit after the World Cup debacle. Tonights game between Ireland and Wales should be good as between them they have won the last 4 championships. Kick off at 10pm thai time. On a completely different note, on

Must have been on a 'work to rule'!!

Where did you get that receipt from, Gabor, because I can't believe you would knowingly go in a place that overcharges so much and hand over that sort of money, unless someone barfined you and you said you were from Hungary and they though you said you were..........? KM

My flight two weeks ago landed at 5.40 (it was due at 6.20) and I cleared immigration within a few minutes of reaching it. However ALL bags from my flight were delayed by about 40 minutes, so it's pretty hit and miss as to whether this service is always a benefit as opposed to just catching it right. In all my visits I have very rarely had any major delays getting through immigration and collecting my baggage. KM

There is that possibility, but it's only a slim one. Although Scotland got further than England in the World Cup last year, they haven't beaten them since 2008 in the Calcutta Cup and lost ALL their 6 Nations games last year. Hopefully under a new coach and a change around of the team, England could surprise a few people this year - or not! Still nobody want to meet up with Billy No-Mates here to watch the game? KM

He won't get a kicking from those arrested - they would probably put a hip out! KM

The Six Nations starts this weekend, anyone in Patts fancy meeting up for a beer and share sage, well qualified, unbiased opinions on the play as it happens? All Thai timings Saturday 6th - France v Italy, 21.25 Scotland v England 23.50 Sunday 7th - Ireland v Wales 22.00 Saturday 13th - France v Ireland, 21.25 Wales v Scotland 23.50 Sunday 14th - Italy v England 22.00 What are the venues of choice to watch these games? I-Rovers? KM

Whatever you do, don't take up Bridge!!!! KM

He better be - i've got one of his bikes!! KM

Nope - I brought him 2 x 240's!! Don't do things by halves!! KM

I'm coming out next week if you want me to bring a few bags? Let me know soonest. KM

Thats because the girlie pics are in the other thread mentioned in the opening post.

Yes, I'm really a moderator and yes, you still sound like a 12 year old.

Yep - definitely about 12. Jacko, when I've travel cattle class I still use the lounges, but the 'paid for' ones. At Heathrow it's about 35 quid, can't remember how much at BKK. Facilities At Heathrow are pretty good, at BKK not as good, but not as much price wise. In business class you still get the benefit of the fast stream entry and exit though! KM

You sound like a 12 year old, playing naughty games and trying to belittle someone

No, it's not exactly what I would have done, because I don't have the same issues with them as you do. KM

Did you and Sam ever consider refusing to be searched by them because of their nationality or did you just button it because you didn't have the balls? KM

For your second post, perhaps you could expand a bit so we know more about the problems you had? KM

I don't. Once I know what date I'm flying, I keep checking the prices on their website until I see one I like, then book it. I keep the info on a spreadsheet for easy checking like for like details. Normally I check the cheapest, the most expensive economy (comparison only!) and business class. I can't afford business class as it normally comes in around 2,600 - 2,700, the highest economy just over 1,000 and I choose the one that gives me better airmiles but isn't the most expensive. Back in November they offered a special for business class at 1630. I was tempted, but not tempted enough!!
