As many used to say, Sky Slops was well named. Only ran into him once and he seemed to be one of those people who is impossible to offend. He got bonus points for that. Those points were deducted by anyone taking his word that Sky Tops was quality accommodation and had a crap holiday. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Good question. Like many other I have a dozen or so Lonely Planet books. Since Covid however I think that these are probably useless. Like you, I find so much information on YouTube predates Covid and is also useless. The more reviews here, the better for everyone. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Prior to Covid there were agency offices in the airport and I always used an agent who had an office there. This really worked out well when I had a couple of problems that needed immediate sorting. Covid swept that away and since then I have only used on line platforms. Here is the result. Some have been great to deal with and very easy to contact. Some have been total rubbish and I would never use them again. All fares have been substantially cheaper than the present rates direct from agents. This is just another case of prior research and asking the hard questions before committing to th

Always appreciate any information. Thanks Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Early next week I will be transiting through Pudong, Shanghai airport, terminal 1 I admit that I didn't check the place out prior to booking. I have about maybe 3 hours to waste prior to boarding and its early morning. Lounge 36 is 250 Yuan for 2 hours and most reviews are dire. Can I get food and coffee in the terminal, and should I change money before I go, or can I / should I use my credit card? Any comments appreciated.

My first impression when I read this was that the place wasn't suitable for people with mobility issues. I have in fact stayed in such a place and have seen this was a real concern for some guests. I realise that a teenager can have mobility issues but not so often or so serious . I would be interested to hear from others as I am past this age as well . As a side issue I have just replied to a survey from my travel company. Have I got travel insurance? Yes was the answer but not through them as their cut off point is 70. Thankfully no bar, GC or gogo has refused my money in Pattaya! Sent

Yes I do but my wording was precise. As far as I am aware the rioters never got into the security areas. I was aware that someone would bring this up but rioting on the street is not the same as transfer issues which is what the OP asked about. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

As far as I can tell airports appear to be almost like an embassy in that they have a life of their own. The perimeter and security is very tight and while a country can be in turmoil, the airports just keep on going. I stand corrected but I have seen zero travel advisories or warnings concerning any airports in Asia. Maybe I have been lucky but I have never seen political unrest in a country move into either the Arrival or Departure halls. My advice. Get on the plane and put it out of your mind.

Many thanks for the update. Always good to hear about a ho hum gogo bar closing the doors with the hope that it's replaced by something better! Strange to hear that a customer who died in a fish restaurant. It's usually about two hours after the meal before I spew and have to spend an hour on the toilet. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Keep them coming. Always appreciated. As a matter of interest I know where Fever is (Opposite Exotic Bar) in Soi LK but is TopGun the old Pulse club? While your at it did either Champagne or Bachelors reopen in LK or is it 2 closed and 2 opened ? Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

I always appreciate the effort and the fact that there are so few posts regarding Pattaya that it's almost a rarity. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Agree. In fact I gave you a tick for bringing it up. It's strange really. For many years this guy has been bringing us news, views and great entertainment and yet somebody thinks that it's wasting our time and rewarding him accordingly. Nowt so strange as folk! Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

As always, thanks for the effort.

Hi there and greetings Adam. Sorry I missed this one. I do however hope that I might make the 3rd of October crawl but I will contact you nearer the time. Have a great party. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Seems about right Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the replies so far. Very interesting and all on the same page Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

I have been looking at alternative booking sites. I am not sure what the situation is in other countries but in NZ travel agents apparently get no commission for air travel and surcharge for their "expertise _. There are so many sites like Expedia, Kayak and so forth. My question is are there good, bad, dubious outfits that you would recommend or totally avoid? I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks Ron. I noted Heaven Above in my introduction Last week a big guy lit up. He was stopped after a single puff. Now that is good management Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Yeah and some prick started on a cigar. Now many people say that the like cigar smoke. Ok but not the general shite smoked here. I also would draw attention to vaping. Some smells are horrible. Some smokers don't just take a drag but blow out an endless cloud of smoke. It's the change of scenery added to the fact that right now Pattaya is as quiet as I have seen it. Imagine high season!

Pat. You may well be correct but even a suggestion like this will bring out those who believe that they have a god given right to pollute. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk
