ex is ass. vp operations asia. they want machanics to strike. already got new ones in training in south carilina and will put them on for scab wages and break the union. all of the major work will be farmed out (out sourced). they'ved planned this for some time and will succed, the fucking bastards. state of MN gave chinceky 600million to stay and he sold off everything and leveraged it all back and skipped off back to califorina with a billion or so in his pocket and now the company is wondering why they have cash flow problems. bottom line machanics strike will not interupt service.

dave sure you don't mean anytime in our lifetime!! Jolly welcome I'll let someone else tell you about the search option along walking street of course is the FLB with the "ugly Brothers", live band Dave (davethailand)has a great house band and guest appeances by patatya's own legend, geriatic LAM morris. that would be the Blues Factory, he's always got a couple cuties with signs pointing the way on walking street. for a little more straight rock Climax beer bar right under Polo ago-go is ok wait a second, your going to pataya to meet some one from an internet chat room

Should I bring pet cat to Pattaya?
rb replied to jackcorbett's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
even with green curry and thai spices an 11 year old will need tenderizing. -
I've stayed at thr Royal River as part of an air/hotel package deal. the place is getting a bit run down and is quite aways from most anything, might be good if out of the way is what your looking for and you can use the water taxi's. their breakfeast buffet is quit nice though, with omletts and waffles made to order and euro and thai fare. If I remeber correctly there is a "joiners" fee although they are very guest friendly, just that they have their own "bg's" at their disco.

ok what airline and route? did you get NW19-27/28-20? msp-nrt-bkk r/t? if you did you done well at this point. even if you didn't 1200 anint bad this late in the game. just wondering because if you NWWorldperks member you need to start working your Frequent fligher miles. evedently not your first trip to LOS or PTY? if you have any questions on accomidations or transportation, this is a usfle board to get/confim answers! enjoy your trip rb

not that I have any room to talk about spelling or sentance structure but your post doesn't indicate any great useage of the english langaue!!! you can do a seach I look it up latter when I have time, cyber or one of the BKK posters has given links to thai education policies and procejures alone with areas needing english teacher, if I remeber correctly a lot need up north, don't remeber the pay scale though. think it was this board, although it may have been bangkoktonight.

hate to tell ya but I think your fucked if you want to fly NW 19/27-20/28 msp to bkk which is the shortest flight. really hard to say with NW, you can look 3or4 times a day and availablity and prices differ. look at there promotions section and see if they have any cash and miles promotions. if you are locked into a time frame you may want to try a couple of the agancys in chicago, they have block seats usally about 1k on united or delta or american, msp-ohare-tokyo-bkk r/t. 1- thaifly.com 2- angleair.com one other option with NW is to look at msp-sin, sometimes they have specials

wow I cann't imagion wanting to get on an aircraft that holds 800 pax. even with the additional jetways, having 800 people looking for 1600 bags at bag claim and then everybody ay customs and taxi stand competing with one another would tend to make me postal, even if i did save a couple hours flight time.
-
just as a note, you don't have to do 2 nights at the dynesty to ride down in their van which is a quick and efficent ride. if you don't stay at the dynesty the ride costs 350bt one way. I did it last time, payed the fare, tipped the drive grabbed by bags and jumped on a bhtbus on second road to my hotel, real slick.
-
trooper; is that piledriver still the one next to the AA Residence? Is most of the construction on the Whitehouse" next tot the Dynesty complete or are they still hammering away there also. what about up by Hanna and the Manntion? all that shit by sandys still going on or has anything gotten done yet. any report of the big building on Soi 7, fuck seems construction everywhere
-
your starting off good, ie your coming to thailand, but we need information of what it is you want to do, you can do just about anything you can imagane. just remember that unless your in the "members" section your not going to get any replys on "nightlight life", but if your looking to visit the islands or temples we'll be happy to help you out although anything you will ask has already been address several times, so if you know how to type a topic in the search menue you'll find pretty much anything you need to know about LOS and pattaya. just get a room (see hotel section) and go for it

wombee; might wonna turn off the water bout now, driveway should be watered sufficantly by now

totally concer APEX and Lek- great breafast buffet if your up before 1200, which you will be if you stay at the Apex- BECAUSE IT IS A SHITHOLE go around corner to soi honey although I'ld rather be staying at the Apex in pattaya then at the Ritz here!!!
-
Jeffy my brother you are right again, since NWA switched sevice from 747-200 from nrt-bkk to that fucking a330 they haven't had any decent regular airfares to bkk because of the reduced number of seats fron the 747 to a330. one condideration when checking fights is flying into Singapoe (sin) instead and then taking flying tigers or airasia to bkk, you could even do groung transport to pucket and than fly direct to pty. the dates I checked it was $1300USD from msp-bkk r/t and the same dates to sin were $890USD, depending on times i could fly tiger air for less than $50USD from sin-bkk r/t,

having been a Divisional Transportation Officer (DTO) and having chartered 747's for troop movements I can tell you that it costed the Army $680,000 per flight to Saudia from Dover. (IN 1990) My ex is a exec at NWA and says it really does cost in excess $2500 per person, that is why bus-1st class seats are esentioal and why the airlines are lossing billions every quarter. there in a catch twenty-two, if they discount tickets, they loss money and if they don't they don't fill the plane and loose money. if you remeber when we were growing up , before deregulation how much a airline ticket was
-
depneds where your coming from, know of one boardy that got a ticket msp-bkkwith stop over in MNL for 5days for an extra 100USD. I haven't been able to get the dates I want but it's always possible.

-
oh!!! so your the one inflating the prices for baht buses, no wonder I always get a dirty look from the driver when I give him 5bt and walk away
-
I stand corrected, I forgot they have a third one on soi honey. (or is it one block over on soi dianna?, don't remember) I checked out the one that is actully on the end of soi honey and soi buckow and at that did not stay there just looked at the standard room which was OK and the out door pool which was nice. compared to the Seaview down by beach road on soi10, this was nice.
-
you can find many hotels in quite areas but unless you "see " were the room is and if and who your niebors are, don't know about noise! I rather enjoyed the "screamer" I had next to me last trip, quite entertaining, byt the trip before had a bounder above me, very annoying, moved quickly. be flexable, try a few new places, keep us updated. cheers rb

stopped in for a look (march05) and was not impressed with the condition of the rooms or there cleanliness, especially the batrhroom. the one the have on soi buckow and soi honey were "MUCH" nicer.
