Fifteen years ago, I seem to remember 29 baht to the USD. Of course, I also remember 20 baht to the USD in 1975 but a red note went a lot further then.

Maybe I live a sheltered existence, but I doubt the government hospitals are getting much medical tourism.

Went back and looked at the OP from August 2016. The USD hasn't slipped as much as the £. For some reason, that doesn't make me feel better.?

Food in Eva PE was quite good in June-July, noticeably better than last year.

It's systemwide for Eva, not a huge differential, but it's there.

I did fairly well with Korean. Of course, the scenery may have been part of that.

Getting off EVA flights, I've looked at the business class seating. It appears they have the tunnel for your feet setup. I did not do well with that the one time I encountered it on a Delta 767. I'll get enough practice laying flat on my back for an extended period in a few years.

It's been a few years now since I have flown economy long haul. I find Eva PE to be worth the cost with my increasingly stiff joints. I'm aware of PE with Cathay Pacific and they do fly to Seattle but don't have through booking to Alaska, unlike Eva. When Eva was still flying 747s, they offered economy seating in thr upper deck which was appreciably than thr main deck. Managed to get a couple of trans-Pacific flights in business class using frequent flyer miles. One was on a Delta 767 which I regretted.

I should have guessed that. Summer is construction season in northern cold weather climes for obvious reasons, not sure why it is so in Pattaya.

With the northbound lanes of Second Road torn up at the south end, how are the baht buses getting back from Jomtien?

US media keeps talking about the strength of the USD? Who knows.

My experience as well with a US card which covers fees for two ATM withdrawals a month. The rate is withinin a few satang of thr TT rate, same when I use it for purchases. Haven't had an ATM ask whether I wanted with conversion or without for several years. Occasionally, a merchant will ask whether I want a purchase charged in USD or baht as they have the question on their screen. Always baht.

Not actual leasing, but you can rent for an extended period for a price which is not that bad. Rented for six months, a walk around upon return and all was good.

Okay, it ended at a year on a phone. The ten year chart is interesting. No surprise there was a fall off after 2008. As I thought I remembered, the run-up to 36 was over a comparatively short period. May you live in interesting times.?

I couldn't figure out how to make it go back more than a year. The USD touched 36 witin the past few years but I think it fell back within a day.

This incarnation as a Thailand visitor/resident--2002 to present--seem to remember the USD at 29+ for a fairly extended period.

You have to dribble a little bit of money into a Kasikorn account to keep it active. I have done that on the possibility I may switch to the 800K option in a year or so. Keep it in a separate bank to reduce the temptation to dip into it. Yes, it's easy to transfer between banks but it wouldn't be sitting there looking at me when I signed on to Bangkok Bank. Filed FBEN reports, more than 10K, a few times. It's easy on line and I have never heard anything back.

Saw this t-shirt in the gift shop of an aviation history museum. I considered buying one for the GFE provider but I would fear discovering we had acquired a duck if she discovered the meaning.

Unless the USD keeps going down.

The cancelation list now shows through 21 July. BR 67 and 68 are not on it. I suppose they could be using supervisors who are flight qualified to continue a limited number of flights.

According to their website, they are still running the 777 on the Taipei-Seattle route in April next year.

First time around, Nakhon Phanom in 1975, I seem to remember truly impressive rain beginning in May.

Mutton

Got 30.36 to the USD for the direct deposit to my Bangkok Bank direct deposit account which posted on 1 July. That always lags a bit compared to the TT rate.

Yes, due to premium economy.
