The above observations are fine & I might add the search feature is a wonderful tool.Welcome back.

Always tip,according to level of service,no matter what country I'm in.

Way back in '95,the departure tax was payable in dollars IIRC.What a great (illegal) trip.I was referring to Cuba.

Being a forgetful old person,I forgot to add that PBR has breakfast included for 2 each day with a falang and Thai menu to choose from for your "significant other for a day".

Pattaya Bay Resort has a nice pool on the roof,along with the restaurant.You can eat outside beside the pool also.WiFi throughout and also 2 computers in the lobby along with newspapers and gym also.

Very cool: (necessary to scroll to bottom but worth it) http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=J1OqqQ8hBXk&vq=medium

That's a good price.You may want to list the mileage.

God as much as I hate to admit it,MU is the favorite with RvP.W/o him,it was Man City.

I'll keep an eye out for it.I used to read Mad religiously.

What ever happened to Kruggerands?

Contact dancewatchers if you haven't already.

Barebacked a dog?Barebacking has reached a new level.

Route 66 & 77 Sunset Strip.

Here's a great link (current I assume) listing frequencies in most countries.Shows 3 GSM frequencies in Thailand.Just because your phone is GSM doesn't necessarily mean it will work in any given country.I currently have phones for Peru,Thailand,Mexico and US-not by choice!

I got a similar offer of $25 off from a China Airlines e-mail yesterday.

LOL!

I was good friends with a Pinay who worked at one of those agencies that provided that service.IIRC it was USD ~725.And was available in no time.The office was just outside Immigration in Jomtien.

Adelante indeed!Excellent collection and considering where they were taken,that is above & beyond.

I should have been more clear.When I said "they",I meant a bus company or AOT,not Air Asia.

Yes.I was looking to fly to PP for a month.I checked the fares on Thai and the difference was HUGE.I will check Bangkok Airways next.When I last flew a while back,the fare difference between BKK Air and Air Asia was also huge and the flights arrived ww/i an hour of each other.

Thanks for that.That is do-able.But what a PITA to change airports when it was so easy before.I felt the need to whine momentarily.

Imagine how nice it would be to have an In and Out Burger in the Mall or anywhere else in Patts.

Yes,when I looked for flights last night on the Air Asia site,there is a pop up advising of the switchover if you book from Oct 1 forward..What a PITA unless they actually run an express bus between the 2.I did see something resembling an express bus mentioned on the Swampy website.
