Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

  1. Yep, on Delta you have to ask to fly on a partner. Last trip I flew China Air and China SOuthwestern, this time Korean. When United filed chapter a few years back I burned there miles up.. Maybe its time to go back.. Another thought is its now $3-400 more a ticket if I want to get miles.. maybe I'll just start flying cheap flights w/o miles.
  2. Since getting award ticket is getting hard to get I'll post another experience. I have been calling and searching on line for an award ticket with the minimum mileage. Looks like the mileage program went up since my last 60/k post in April. I have been calling for a month, sometimes calling twice a day, asking for partners, giving them the partner flight numbers, and trying to fly out of different cities on the west coast. Also, China and Korean both have blackout days for October to work around. Well, I finally got a ticket to Manila return from Bangkok for 75,000 miles. Then I
  3. I struggled with fly blue site and it did give low miles for some days, but when you click on it.. it says unavailable.. and doesn't say what airline.. If someone finds where it say "classic" travel let me know.
  4. I'll try it.. I'm strugling with Delta and now trying to get an award ticket on a partner.. PIA.. On the Delta site if you click the button that says "My schedule is Flexiable" it will then show you high and low award levels.. There are very few low awards.. I may switch my AMEX Delta card to points because the mileage program is getting to hard to work with.
  5. I was lucky to get this ticket at 60/k and the outbounnd was on China. I too have 100+/k miles w/Delta. I did find something interesting on the Delta site. If you check the flexable travel date box in award travel, your search will take you to a calander of dates to travel and the mileage required. I was suprised to find what days had lower mileage award seats. I think the new award chart is 80/k to Los. I miss the NWA days.
  6. OK… China Southern, Oh boy.. I did it.. The flight from BKK to China was un eventful, except for a chicken and rice dish was Thai spicy hot. But no worries its leaving Thailand and expected.. The China to LAX flight, we changed gates and were bussed to the plane which was strange. Later I assumed they were working on a problem. We sat on the plane for 2 hours before take off. In flight I talked to one of the stews and said I would not make my connections. Before landing they moved me up to the business class. Running to immigration in LAX and waiting for my luggage I missed my connecting flig
  7. Remember those cheap fares are also coming with very little mileage rewards if any.. Most US flights can earn almost 15,000 miles flying into Los.
  8. I'm flying out on the 19th at night.. So I decide to just stay in Bangkok to avoid the mess for a few days.. The girls luv me there too.
  9. After I looked at this post I sent an email. Asked about a monthly deal or specials for long stay. They emailed me back 1690/bt a night.
  10. I always give the last girl my Shower Gel and anything else I don't want to take home. It suprised me the first time when I had two differant kinds of shower gel. One was almost empty and she said, No I take. They never want my washed out condoms hanging on the deck. There still good ?
  11. Your half way there.. Little more nit noy and add sun screen..
  12. Yep, that's a great idea. That would chase away the McDee and Starbucks income. Then replace them with Club Blu style places with those big windows. I hate walking through the vendors at night.
  13. Well, after shedding my tears across the boards about Delta's mileage program. Here is what happened. I have been calling Delta to get an award ticket for 60/k to LOS.. Tried on line many times and it sucks.. I finally bought a cheap Korean ticket on MSN. Yesterday I found out I didn't get any Delta miles because it was a discount ticket. Zero.. Didn't even realize it when I booked.. I also bought the trip insurance and I'm pretty sure I can get out of it.. So today I decided to call Delta again. This time I got a guy that actually wanted to help me instead of the attitude I was us
  14. My next trip in April is $1060 off Bing with travel Insurance for 5 weeks. Sea-Mnl & Bkk-Sea. and a lay over in LA.. I would think finding deals out of LA would be easy. Sorry, I don't want to throw to much water on your fire, but if your short miles and sure can get a ticket with the extra miles go for it. My experance with miles use to be good, NWA, Delta, United, no problems, and got free tickets. But lately its difficult. I quit flying American airlines to Asia because they got expensive. I would hate to buy miles I couldn't use. I have a bunch with Delta and its a PITA to use th
  15. The Cebu flight get into Clark at 4a/m.. I would imagine you would have to pay for the previous nights room to check in at 4 a/m.. Wonder how many cheap charleys hang out in the lobby till the next afternoon to avoid previous nights expence.
  16. The RG is ok if your riding a bike. But late at night I didn't like getting a baht bus.. I enjoyed the Evergreen last trip. Western style with a great pool and decent buffet breakfast. If you go out the back your right at the Avenue Mall. In a hurry they are moto taxi's in back of the mall. Also, the PBR for those traveling on a budget, off season. Pay 6 nights and the 7th is free. The pool is small and breakfast off a menu. The cool part is there tuk-tuk that takes you to 2nd road for a short walk to Walking Street or Soi Bukkow (spel).
  17. No kidding.. that's what I was telling Delta.. That is hot season.. Fares from the states have gone up $300-500 in the last couple of weeks.. All airlines. Going to try again on Monday's to see what happens.
  18. eeekk... Gram pa.... Had a bg one time that pulled her parcel out and put it in a drinking glass and added my listerine. First for me..
  19. Sorry, we could not find a direct match for your search SOM NAM NAH in the dictionary.
  20. A TG friend and I went to TukCom and up dated her music on her mobile at a booth in the back of the cell phone floor. She spoke to him in Thai and I had no idea what she was saying but she was getting tunes she wanted. Later I went back with an micro SD and asked for R & B, hip hop. He loaded hundreds of tunes both Thai and English. I listened to a few and he said this is what we listen to here, not your country. No problem. When I got home I popped in into my desk top to copy.. Oh shit.. he popped on several files of lady boy's and gays in action on it.. man I'm glad I didn't
  21. Think about the return to the airport from Bkk.. No more looking for a cab and trying to make a deal.. But if you have big girlie suitcases.. take a cab..
