cathay pacific in october from ewr/jfk under 900 all in,

lek for sure,also one of my favorite breakfast buffet at 110bht

i think you have more than enought ,without drinking and barfinig you should be able to do it on 50k/month and still have change left over going jinga jinga ling,make the move andenjoy the good life

if you are good at budgeting your mney just do it,it is allways nice to have planty of money but if you don't. you don't... right about now i would be happier sitting outside 7/11 and drinking chang beer than here in the east cost under a foot of snow with nothing to do and baht in my pocket

thank you mak mak there emil,that i didn't know,i could see where that could be a major problem,i'm glad things worked ou for you

i saw that too,i supose that is not a bad price nowadays,but those who could make it to jfk(or la,sfo)thai air is about 50$ cheaper and none stop 50 x 37 =1850bht =3 s/t + 1 hour massage, what do you think of that bigDUSA

anthony can you name the 3 hotels you found for 10k?that's not to bad considering with hotels they are inclusive of water,electric and daily maid service,you might want to check out "lafontaine" at the end of walking st.(no personal experiance with the place yet)

i can tell you what not t do,like spend it,or "invest"it in the stock market when in dought there is only one thing to do,NOTHING,just bank it 5.5% cd"s,5.75-6% after 2:15 EST. june 23rd,good luck

banks in massachusetts are offering 6 to 36 month cd's at 5.5% ,most likely 5.75% after the fed meeting on june 28th,all fdic insured

i kind of had the feeling that this was comming eventually,loopholes can be blocked,most homeowners that i personaaly know(5 people) are married to thais long time and have it in both names,so those people should be all set now as far as condos,i would not be surprised to see down the road a 20%-30% farang ownership tax or something to that effect,there will be nothing we can do about it except pay or sell,afterall we can't vote anyone in or out of office and i dought your evearge thai will shed a tear for a farang...

i too have thought long and hard about buying vs renting,so far i am leaning towards renting for a year first,it does not make much sence to buy if you are not going to be there more than 6 months a year,it also helps if you know other farags in the complex,and last but not least,only spend what you could afford to walk away from,just in case

mgc i hear what you are saying,but for 38-40 baht,can't expect too much,you could allways order 2 breakfast,if you got a big appetite,i usually get a blt,or ham and cheese sandwitch with it,it uasually hit's the spot just right,for 79baht cheers

the BOAT BAKERY,2nd rd.(between pattayaland and south pattaya rd) good breakfast,lunch,and dinner,at very low prices,good thai food too , as a matter of fact,wish i was there now....

Big d do you remember how much the kid got/month /and what about healthcare,and also was the mother married to the father or that makes no difference

probably same same,just the cockroaches are bigger

same same,just logged back in no problem

stayed there on my first trip to pattaya 5 years ago,o.k hotel,lousy breafest buffet,cold food,they did't bother lighting the wormers under the trays,yes ther is a joiner fee,one day i was charged twice,since i had 2 different s/t,i would not recommend ,they also cater to chinese bus tours, but if that's all you can find it's o.k,go with bigD's advice and try the skytop 1st

yup,the price is from the east coast(newark)in my case

just booked on nwa february to march 768$ total plus i'll get 21150 miles, offer is good for february departures

arriving on nwa via tokyo narita on 11:50 on oct 6 looking for members to share ride
