  1. Thankfully flightstats.com says Baz took off at 00:11 Hurrah
  2. Rumours abound that Tuchel is nailed on for PSG plus could he work with Sven Mislintat again?
  3. Absolutely no reason not to use transferwise been using them regularly with no problems and an unbeatable exchange rate.
  4. How do you save 200 baht doing this? Surely it is only the 50 baht airport charge one avoids, no matter your destination?
  5. You replied to my account post and I assumed that you had read it.
  6. Never been on a Thai bus with a shower. I bow to your superior knowledge of Chiang Mai railway station but I'm pretty sure most destinations don't have showers at bus stations. With flights available to most places for under 1000 baht I just don't see the point of long distance bus or train travel.
  7. Don't get travelling by overnight train or bus if you are a tourist. Yes you can save a nights hotel cost but you check out at midday and are going without a shower for about 24 hrs. Most of the trains and buses arrive around 6 am and what are you supposed to do at that time in the morning?
  8. Anyone else keep seeing the thread title and wondering what a post about a semolina chef could be about?
  9. I reckon there is very little chance that anyone will come out and decide that currency with the dear departed old King's head on it is worthless. Notes and coins with his image will be legal tender for a long time.
  10. No need most other fora have done it already so we know what we are in for. Frosty sounds like he knows what he's doing so it should all go without a hitch.
  11. That is not good but if you fly club class fairly often it's easy to reach silver where it is free at time of booking.
  12. Basically flights out of Heathrow, and therefore to Bangkok, will not be affected by this for eighteen months but we shouldn't let this stop us running round shouting the sky is falling in we are all going to die.
  13. Rolls Royce have huge engine problems right now. The race to the bottom on price is catching up with companies like this. Ive worked for then in their marine propulsion division in Norway a few times and have seen it from inside out.
  14. Having looked at this further it seems some A380s and 777s have an updated seat slightly staggered giving aisle access to all seats and if you have the option to choose a flight with these seats that's the one I'd go for.
  15. I'm not a fan of the large business class cabins on a lot of A380s. Korean have one but also have two smaller ones fore and aft where I think you'll get what feels like a more personalised service. One thing to watch out for is the 777s are in a 2-3-2 formation and I'd hate to be in the middle of a 3.
  16. They are going through the same thing on Live and I would suggest that about 50% of heavy users have been willing to contribute.
  17. I'm pretty sure that it is a major reason behind it.
  18. Airlines have much more competition when selling tickets from London Heathrow than Manchester.
  19. Well done. To be honest I have been a little surprised by the costs quoted on here and P-Live for running a forum especially with so few posts being made these days. Is part of the reason the large database of old posts and photos? If it is then both these fora plus Secrets have very little new members and those eight year old trip reports really are doing nothing but gathering dust, clogging up the system and costing money. Would a stripped down forum be a way to go possibly? Is there an easy and free place members can put photos and link to the forum when doing trip reports etc? I'm pre
  20. As far as I'm aware no you definitely can't mine bitcoin with anything like a "standard" laptop. You may be able to mine some other coins but you are probably looking at making a dollar per week and burning out your laptop very very quickly.
  21. Increased tolls may cause the 1000 baht taxi to and from BKK to disappear but what I was saying is that you shouldn't be paying that much for a ride to UTP.
  22. Yes not a lot quicker than the journey to / from Suvarnabhumi but if you are being charged over 1000 baht for a taxi to UTP then you are calling / emailing the wrong people.
