TURBO

I have to agree with our chiro friend - visiting a chiropractor should be your first step after suffering a back injury. If you want to avoid injury in the future I can really recommend that you take up yoga! I was visiting a local guy who does physiotherapy & deep tissue massage for some treatment on a sports injury. He also teaches yoga & advised me that it would help my condition. He was starting a class locally so I went along to try it out & 8 weeks later I'm still going. The class age ranges from 35 to 75, male and female but he is going at a pace that suits everyone.

It depends what you want - a good track or a fast kart. Mini Siam has the best track - very technical layout but once you learn the lines you rarely have to use the brakes. Karts are fast enough, better than most you get at public tracks. I combined it with a trip to Mini Siam one evening as it is nicer lit up & its a lot cooler in the karts. If you want fast karts this is the place to go. http://www.kart.thai.li/index_english.html Unless you are a very experienced kart racer I would not recommend you try the fastest kart - it is a real handful. I have competed in car raci

I suggest you try one of the 3 fish restaurants in that area . If you're outside the Cucumber walk back towards 2nd road , cross the small soi & you'll pass 3 restaurants beside each other with fish on display outside . The first one on the corner has the best selection but the others are ok . They look a bit primitive but the food is great & very cheap - a plate of fried noodles with veg & pork is only 30 baht !. It's mostly Thai customers but the menus are in English as well . I was staying in that area on my last trip ate there most days & never had a bad meal . Only do

I have read somewhere that people with 2 passports were considering using them to stay in LOS on monthly entry visas . Basically the idea was that you use passport 1 to stay for 3 months , doing monthly visa runs . Then you use passport 2 for the next 3 months by which time you've been out of the country long enough on passport 1 & can enter LOS on it again . Since last week I would be 99% sure that this will not work . I have 2 passports as I have dual nationality . Most of the time I use passport 1 to travel in & out of LOS . I used passport 2 once before 2 years ago & again

I was searching for August flights & I was strongly considered flying with Mahan Air as the price Man-Bkk return was only £485 . Next cheapest was £612 & luckily I went for that instead .

Etihad should have availability from either Manchester or LHR . Best place to search is their website - http://www.etihadairways.com/etihadairways/uk/en/home

I couldn't get any availability for next month from Dublin with etihad in Aug but there seems to be a few seats from Manchester for £612 .

I booked this last night , hopefully I'll make the connection . I'm going out on the first Aer Lingus flight to Manchester & catching the 10.00 Etihad flight to Bkk via Abu Dhabi . Not going until next month , hopefully the security situation will have improved by then .

I'm looking at flying via Manchester on my next trip to LOS . The inbound flight arrives at 07.25 & the outbound leaves at 10.00 . Is this connection too tight , given the current security situation ?

Tried to check prices on the Gulf website & they don't seem to fly the Dub-Bkk via Doha route now . Only option seems to be to travel to LHR first then onwards . Mind you we have the new Etihad route , though it seems to be fully booked for the next 2 months !

Come to think of it your current toilet attendant doesn't do the massage routine but one of the previous ones did . He has a shitty job (pun intended) & I'll have to remember to tip him . Still , at least it's a male attendant . There's nothing more off-putting than a female toilet attendant being around while you're having a piss . The Climax Bar had a couple of the massage attendants in the toilets but they've stopped that now & charge a 5 baht fee for using the toilet . Guess they listened to their customers .

This is one that really bugs me , especially if your drinking a bottle & they pull it out of the sleeve . I find it insulting & an invasion of my space . I know if a bartender did than in Ireland they would likely end up on their backs behind the bar - you just don't touch anybodys drink without asking first . Why don't they just point & ask 'You finish ?' like everywhere else in the world . The girls at Cherry Bar know I don't like this & leave me alone now . Another pet hate is the toilet attendants / masseuses once only seen in Xcyte but now seem to be common in a lot of

I forgot that some airlines stay on GMT for their schedules , giving you an extra hour during BST . Even so I doubt that connection is feasible . The flybe flight lands at 8.35 , maybe gets to the gate at 8.45 , giving you 10 minutes to collect your bags & check in for the Etihad flight before it closes . If there's any delay you'll miss check-in & have to fork out for another flight to LOS . I for one wouldn't risk a connection that tight . A few years ago I was travelling with Lufthansa Belfast-LHR-Frankfurt-BKK . The BHD-LHR flight was with BMI & it was late meaning I misse

Sorry for the delay in posting . Our phone line went down on New Years Eve & it only got repaired today & only on a temporary basis at that . I very nearly used this route shortly after it started as it was coming in at the same price as the China Air DUB-AMS-BKK route . I went for China as I had enough airmiles for an upgrade . Ever since then their prices have been very high , usually over £600 ! That flybe flight lands at 08.35 & the Etihad flight takes off at 08.55 so that connection is not possible , unless you know of a later flight . You would even be

I guess I should've mentioned that I'm from Northern Ireland & I agree with your comments . Unfortunately a lot of the flights from the UK mainland to Bangkok leave early in the morning & you cannot get an early enough flight from Ireland to make the connection . None of the LGW flight are suitable & from LHR only the Etihad and Thai flights suit whilst still remaining cheap . BA/Qantas are too expensive & with Eva you have to stay over in LHR on the return leg . We are also limited on connections to LHR . The only'cheap' ones are BMI from Belfast City & Dublin and
