  1. I found that staying for an extra month put the prices up by over a hundred quid but I dont understand why?.
  2. Its just a straight 3 month ticket and I am coming back home on the 23 july ,I would also like to thank you again Tom for such a thoughful pic of an Ethiad plane ,that sure put my mind at rest.
  3. £432.60. 23 april to 23 july, A 3 month ticket hthrw-bkk I have just booked this with Airline Netrwork flying Ethiad Airways. It is the cheapest I have seen for ages and the layover is only about 1 1/2 hours each way. I have not flown Ethiad before so any knowledge would be helpful on what Planes they fly and if they have seat back entertainment, thanks and I hope it helps someone.
  4. I cant answer for you ,but I personaly would not spend the extra. I have stayed in the Lek twice and both times in the old wing ,except for 1 night when I was moved to the new wing while they sorted my A/C ,I found the level of comfort in both wings to be comparable and the price differential to be out of order.
  5. Why does a certain hotel /guest house get such a bad rap all the time,if you dont like the place ,I dont know it and it does not sound like my kind of place,why keep it so high in the minds of every member by constantly mentioning it ,even if it is only to slag it off. It has been said ,rightly or wrongly, that there is no such thing as bad publicity,surely just ignoring the place would be a more sensible course of action,or is it that some posters just love to see their names in print.
  6. the pic didn't load so I posted a ? when I hit submit post the pic appeared so I had to add this so it made sense .Sort of.
  7. Last year at the boarding gate I saw two "dustbins"filled with bottles of wine and other drinks being confiscated by the security staff.So yes they are doing it.
  8. London Times Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not
  9. I would love to think prices will come down ,but TIT and I really don't expect them to.
  10. An Oirish Story. An Irishman goes to the Doctor with botty problems.... 'Dactor, it's me ahrse. I'd loik ya ta teyhk a look, if ya woot'. So the doctor gets him to drop his pants and takes a look. 'Incredible'he says, 'there is a £20 note lodged up here.' Tentatively he eases the twenty out of the man's bottom, and then a £10 pound note appears. 'This is amazing!'exclaims the Doctor. ''What do you want me to do?' 'Well fur gadness sake teyhk it out, man! 'shrieks the patient. The doctor pulls out the tenner and another twenty appears, and another a
  11. With the USA and the UK both being in the crapper I think I will pass and let you sort out your own problems as we have enough problems of our own.
  12. I am all for you enjoying your boat ,and to be honest 9000baht a day is not exhorbitant for what you were getting, some cheap charlies like myself would pay that as well (unless of course I could have negotiated a lower price), if that was what floated my boat ( sic pun) but I prefer boats with engines, my only complaint is when guys with extra cash tell me I should be paying more for ,sex, tips, hotels ,bike hire ,massages and any of a host of other services .It does happen, especially when I, and others, give advice on holidaying on a budget in Pattaya.I too would fly first class if i could
  13. I made it through and had a large chips as well as a dish of icecream and pie,but I still had to pay full price as I didn't eat the salad which I never eat anywhere as I don't like it.
  14. TAE A FERT This poem is appropriate for reading to an audience shortly after they have eaten the haggis - you will need an audience with a sense of humour! Oh what a sleekit horrible beastie Lurks in yer belly efter the feastie Just as ye sit doon among yer kin There sterts to stir an enormous wind. The neeps and tatties and mushy peas Stert workin like a gentle breeze But soon the puddin wi the sauncie face Will have ye blawin’ all ower the place. Nae matter whit the hell ye dae A’bodys gonnae have tae pay Even if ye try to stifle, It’s like a bullet oot a rifle.
  15. Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle... From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a Crestview couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones . U
  16. IF TOMMY COOPER WERE ALIVE TODAY...... I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, "That's Aboriginal." This lorry full of tortoises collided with a van full of terrapins. It was a turtle disaster. I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said "Tenpin?" I said, "No, permanent." I went in to a pet shop. I said, "Can I buy a goldfish?" The guy said, "Do you want an aquarium?" I said, "I don't care what star sign it is." I was at a Garden Centre and I asked for something herby. They gave me a Volkswagen with
  17. Sorry I didn't get this joke ,maybe you can explain why it's funny?.
  18. I have no experiance of any kind of filters as we dont use them at home (UK)and when in LOS I use bottled water,but in my condos hallway there is a water filter machine that charges I think 1 baht a litre all you do is put a bottle under the spout and put money in the slot and it gives you as much water as you paid for .I have seen these machines all over Pattaya but never used one ,is this a safe way to get water?.
  19. Many bars have a book exchange where you can change what you have on a one for one basis,just look in any bar you happen to be in ,or ask.
  20. It is just possible that you have the wrong idea about this board,it is not a dating site .
  21. I don't think I would ever buy anything in Pattaya as I don't like Leasehold property and a lease of only 30 years is rather pointless ,if you stay there 15 years how much is it worth if you then try to sell it ,also I would like to know what sort of lease you get when you "own" a condo is it "in perpituity"or just a long lease.
  22. I have no interest in living in LOS full time so selling the house is a non starter because of that and I have a son who is still living at home and threatens to stay there until I die and he gets the house.My plan for the future is that when I reach retirement age I will spend 6 months of the year in LOS and 6 In UK I can rent out 2 rooms for approx £75-£80 each (todays prices) a week and that will more than fund my stay in LOS when added to my pension.Even taking Tax into consideration ,there is a £90 a week disregard for renting a room in your own house and I would also pro rate any other
