Finally, direct flight from Los Angeles to Bangkok

Jeez from a 380 to a 737? Like booking a limo and getting a Kia Soul. 🤣 -
Finally, direct flight from Los Angeles to Bangkok
Shooter replied to 4wheels's topic in Airline Discussion
I would not drive a motorcycle all the way from Pattaya to Bangkok. I do not trust the other drivers enough to make that trek. As a fellow Septuagenarian I like cars. Full size cars. LOL. If I ever return to Thailand I will try to fly Asiana on a 380 if the price is similar. Well I'll first try the non-stop from Vancouver. But I think they have priced it over my pain threshhold. -

Yeah I thought he meant the carriers. Everyone I know who has been on one likes them. -

Bummer if you have to sit on the tarmac that two hours. Heck even just a short walk around would be nice. On the 380 Asiana announced they brought theirs out of mothballs and it flies LAX-ICN. There is a non-stop (real) from YVR-BKK that is LONG operated by Air Canada. But it is seasonal. And maybe it isn't still running. I flew that 3 years back. Hey, long assed flight but one hop from America I like it. -

Do you get to exit the plane in that 2 hour layover? A shower would be nice. -

I was in a BYD SUV a few weeks back and agreed. Fit and finish good. Only question I would have is longevity and reliability. Probably also good but don't know. Did not care for the seat position in the MG pickup. Back seat not comfortable. -
Nice melons. (Low hanging fruit) I know tooooo easy. 🤣

Saw that drive by last night. Wondering if it cleared all the potholes with that low clearance. -
I live with 4 of the little furry bastards. I have no doubt they would have to push the button.

Isn't the star rating based on which services it provides? Like it could be 4 star if it has a diner, gym, pool, etc. but it doesn't mean what quality it is. Partly asking as I thought it meant what services they had not quality. I am prepared to be corrected.

I cringe thinking about needing to use 2 wheels as transport in Pattaya. Have lost 2 friends over the years. Between horrible roads and unskilled or drunk drivers I find myself acting like a WWI pilot when I WALK near a road with my head on a swivel. I guess at least moving with traffic is something. Baffles me when I watch people walk side by side in groups on Soi Buakao or other narrow busy roads. They must think angels watch over them. Bolt is the greatest addition to Pattaya since the 90s. -
All I did was answer a question. So I suggest you request whoever put the original photo up to move it. Cheers.

No the existing cars will be grandfathered in. They won't suddenly declare them unusable. Even the crazies that run California won't go that far. But yes Newsom the governor of California made an executive mandate for that. Hmmm no democratic process or vote? 😜 BTW you raise an interesting issue with agriculture and long haul trucking. Maybe technology will improve to the point that they can replace diesel fuel for those applications by 2035. And maybe it will be as efficient and cost effective. But if not once again government will have caused economic damage forcing a change for -

it is being forced in some states. Well at least in California. By 2035 ALL cars and light trucks must be electric or other emission-free design. Of course they aren't forcing people to junk their 3 year old ICE cars but mandates aren't organic regardless of how long or grandfathered base. The actual result of mandates like this and others (can't recall where but they exist in the USA) is to actually turn some people away from electric cars that might otherwise have migrated to one for economy and better tech. The American psyche doesn't like being told what to do even if "it is good -

I have no issues with the migration to electric replacing ICE. I never go anywhere farther than 200 miles driving in a day and I am home every night with an enclosed garage I could install a charger unit in. So I am a perfect candidate for electric and my next vehicle stands a good chance of being electric. What I take issue with is the mandates forcing the issue on people. The charging network in the USA is still in it's infancy and some people tow heavy items and/or don't have access to an enclosed garage where they can charge their own vehicle at night. For them having an electric -

I remember standing at Soi Diana and 2nd Road at 7 PM waiting for a gap in traffic to cross 2nd. Of course there IS a pedestrian crosswalk there but..... Some tourist from some nation where crosswalks are strictly adhered to is trying to get his wife to walk across with him as if traffic will stop magically when he strides out. She is terrified and looks at me and I just shake my head and say "wait". She would not go and he was very angry but they lived. 😇 -

That one way stuff sounds like a good idea. Of course it doesn't apply to motorbikes or Thais in a hurry right? 🤣 -
Definate downturn in prices out of London to Bangkok return
Shooter replied to Rawhide2's topic in Airline Discussion
On the original topic I noticed business class flights from LAX to BKK have dropped a bit. Mind you I'm looking at late January with March return no idea if any other dates are good. Assuming one doesn't choose Air Turkey or Phillipines real airlines on lie flat all aisle access like japan Air or American are about $4500 RT. -

As a yank growing up with nice wide roads I'd say that about all the roads in Thailand. 😅
