Crackpot

I suppose you werent taught anything about the Free French forces who fought in WW11 or the resistance who suffered terribly helping downed airmen and escapees through the lines ? But Yes got to agree with you. They are very ungratefull to the British for saving their arses in both wars. However, I like France. I like it so much I bought a house there. How about we take a pop at the Italians next eh? Those gutless toads couldnt even work out which side to support.

Who goes to Pattaya to meet 'Nice' girls ?? I can meet 'Nice' girls anywhere. Or could your recomendation simply be that you have some other sort of 'interest' in these sites, other than meeting girls ? This was found on Google: http://www.ethailand.com/classifieds/showi...14022&item=true

And, Mike some people sit there with 2 inch hoses and hose down anyone silly enough to walk or drive past them. Its a place I and many other people stay away from at Songkran now.

Arent Gulf Air a similar Price to RJ.? I travelled RJ several years ago when there was a compulsory stop over and the flight couldnt be faulted. I like Gulf air. I stay awake from UK to Gulf then drop a sleeping pill and sleep from Gulf to BKK and arrive quite refreshed. Same on the way back and good arrival times.

Go up to the Third floor Theres abour 10000 of them !! Costs 100Baht and takes about 2 mins, then buy a Sim package to pop in your phone. I bought a 1-2-phone which cost me 300 baht and worked fine

If I needed to stay that close to Sukhumvit I'd stay at the Woraburi about a mile down the road, despite the stroppy receptionists. Wild horses (or whores) wouldnt get me to stay at the Nana

OOOOOHHH sir ! YOU could say that, I couldnt possibly comment. 8)

Me Too ;D They had one running on a ship off the coast some time ago. Is that still operating ??

Probably about the same time as they fix all the pavements, get rid of all the bar girls and stop all the corruption in the Police and Government Me ? Cynical ?? No way geoffrey

Dont forget Dave, most insurances provide for £50 emergency clothes if suitcases are lost or delayed so long as you have an ailrine or airport loss certificate. £50 buys some good clothes in BKK ;D

If you are going to be organising it from the UK you need to do it with a highly reputable company, who will only issue the ticket after seeing their passport with a valid Entry Clearance stamp. We used Diethelm in Bangkok, paying via email with a credit card. Find out what date her Interview will be then arrange a provisional date with Diethelm. Good Luck anyway.

Yet, last Tuesday I bought a large box of frozen Thai Tiger prawns from the the Mobile fish merchant at the local Market. Bloody expensive though. They are loveley, dipped in Goggi then deep fried and then quickly dipped in my wifes special Nam Phra Pik

O I C We have a similar thing here in the UK with a bloke called Lord Lucan

The silly season AKA Songkran I hate those bastards who throw out Prickly heat powder instead of Rice Flour I got an eyefull of it the last time I was there and was in agony for hours

Oh OK Cheers mate. Like I said I only use the BKK office

Hi Bub Just a point. Dont expect the Thai lady you knew in Thailand to be the same as the Thai lady you marry and take back to the US They learn very quickly. And though they never get as bad as some of the hard faced cows born here they do learn very quickly. I was married to a British girl here in the UK for 14 years before she decided to walk (did she walk or was she pushed I'll never know) I've now been married to my Thai wife for over 14 years, and even though she has picked up a lot of the UK womens ways, she still maintains the Thai air of indifference typical of so many Thais. Just dont expect them to stay pure and untouched by what they see and hear around them. The rose coloured glasses soon fall off !!

Isnt it still at the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel ? Though I must admit I havent been there for years as I use the BKK Office

I obtained that data after a 20 second Google search. I did already know several of them but the website I found gave all the info better than I could. However, I neither know where Hoffa is buried or even who she is ( nor do I care)

Antimeridian = AM or pre mid-day Post Meridian = PM or past mid-day

Couple of years back, BITCH of a change over time.Hostesses with Hairy arms, and lots of passengers who hadnt heard of deodorant or showers. BUT It gets you there cheaply and you save enough money to pay for a few girls.

The Lek has always battled against the Older but better run Dianna Inn across the road. However they are now both showing their age, but, given the choice would stay at The Dianna

Eva are Ok dont worry. BTW anyone flying Thai. If you smile sweetly at the Canadian Airlines girls who do TG's check in at LHR they will check you in very early if you want

Its also worth checking with your bank ! I found that the Gold Account I have with my bank gave me and the wife free worldwide Insurance. I was a bit dubious about it so rang them and they sent me details of the policy and it really was quite good. Cost me £21 to add my daughetr to the policy. You can also upgrade it to a Ski-ing insurance for a small amount too. Just mind out for those black runs and moguls in Pattaya !!!

Bloody hell, steady on there !. She's the Scots entry for Miss World ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
