  1. Good tread.. You know none of us want to work so a good plan is a must. Seems to me 5 yrs to get an extra $1200 or $14000 a year is a no brainer. Also 200/k isn't that much and you could almost double that in 7 yrs. I hate my job too. But planning to get out in 2 years. Thats also 2 more years of 401/k, stock fund, and one more toy.
  2. When I'm out of the States I always say "I'm from Canada, ah". Still remember this guy in Phuket. After talking to him for a while he said: Your from the states. What ? With that acsent your from the states. What acsent ? We both got a little chuckle. Later he asked me again.
  3. I bailed on United when this first started, what a year ago. Used my last 60/k. Booked to Chang Mai and the return with a week or so delay in BKK. Worked great and used most of my miles.
  4. Walked in one time to price a room. They were really high. Is the HR guess friendly ?
  5. This reminds me. Anyone every got an International bump.. A free r/t return :)
  6. Used PL from Seattle to Vegas once. Was supposed to be a long weekend. Price was ok but I was given a flight out at Friday 11:50p/m arived at 2:30 a/m the next day (Sat). So I lost a day (Fri).. on the return I was given a 6 a/m out Sunday morning. What a waste.. There were just to many flights for PL to chose from.. To Bkk it would be differant because of the few flights out.. Your more apt to get what you want..
  7. The noon Thai bus is cool.. I can sleep all the way without watching the road.
  8. When I saw I couldn't beleive it. Was on my way out the door to Mexico. Bad timing and couldn't book. Damm. Sent an email to a friend who got the deal.
  9. Peter, I think thats a lot to spend. My first trip I had jet lag for several days. It it took a couple of days to get my bearings. Maybe it was just me. But hey, there are a lot of girls to choose from. I think you'd prefer to find your own. Just get a ride the ride to Pattaya when get what you want. Another sugestion is to stay in BKK for the night, hit Nana or somewhere, then to PTT the next day. But this service is to expensive man.
  10. This is probably more timeshare info than you need to know. Ray, you’re absolutely right. Never buy one of these places unless you have really studied the industry. El Tib old place now has an optional all inclusive package which I hate. NEVER, EVER buy from a developer !!! As previously posted I bought a couple of cheap resale units to trade. They are top traders for the money. I bought them mainly because I like going to 5 Star Destination resorts which can be expensive. I usually trade for large 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a lock out unit. I take friends a long. They stay in the lo
  11. Man thats cheap. I used Orbitz for May trip to Mexico. It was a hundred less that I could find anywhere. But, your Yahoo site is a real winner. Thanks
  12. Thai bus took me right to the PT then to the RG. It was great. I slept on the bus, in a limo or taxi I watch the road.
  13. When I stayed at the Marriott I had a shower, no tub.
  14. Would stay at Majestic Suites in a heart beat, used it for my transfers in and out of BKK. The room was very small and I'd up grade next time. They have been booked and couldn't get in sometimes.
  15. Stayed at the Patong Resort Hotel in Feb. nice place, 2 pools, 1 block to the middle of the night life. Tight security with a 500/bt joiner fee.
  16. When I tried the Flipper it was full.. Where is the Sabai Lodge ? How is the location ?
  17. For bumps.. try to book the Sunday 12 - 3 pm flights from Vegas.. most of the time over booked...
  18. NanaHunter, Ok Dude, ya got me on that one.. I started spending my United miles when they started having trouble.. So thats 2 trips for the price of 1 from the states. Oh boy....
  19. OK Guys, I can be a little slow at times. So what's in the liver wasters and Thai rotgut ?
  20. Ya... sure.. you bet.. ya

  23. Transfering in BKK for morning flight... In late and out early in the a/m.. Any sugestions on a place to stay at the airport ?
  24. Speaking of hot... its always interesting when they say something in Thai I don't understand... then I get the cold handy-wipe on my forehead.. Yo babe, rub my beanie and I'll follow you anywhere..
