Well well. I like the fact that Bangkok has diversity and that there is some places for everyone even if we see it as a crazy. Mind you I see that they welcome animal lovers. Is this shorthand for some devious sexual behaviour? Any place where you can take a dog but not a girl is IMHO suspect! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

What a good post. This makes sense and explains things. Thanks

I would also like to know how hotels justify a joining fee if you book for two people. This has only once happened to me in Phuket and the reception sat me down and made me sign a document stating that I would pay 1000 baht for a joiner. It was sign or go looking in a strange place for other accommodation. It only happened once but it did happen. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thank you Mr. Egg Wherever did you hatch that video? In the mood I was in it was eggactly what I needed. Did Mr.Egg have to shell out for this video? OK, OK enough yolking. Thanks for the eggford.

You conclude correctly. I can pay for it as an extra but still need phone and data when I am out and about. From now on I think that the 300 baht plan plus 100 baht for the odd phone call will suit me fine for a month in Thailand. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I have been here for 12 days and in total used 3.1 gigs. Most of this is me using data for Hotspot for my laptop. For me the 1 m speed is adequate for everything I want, even YouTube. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I simply wish that I understood the rules. All the airlines that I fly on tell me that I have to turn on flight mode or turn off the phone. The only exception for me has been Emirates which gave me a free sample and then wanted to charge me for the service. Perhaps this service is more made for people in the US?

IMHO this reply just about covers it for me.

Not sure of the quality of the US flights but last flight on a Chinese line for me was ho hum. My comment at the time was that they need a few years to get to understand what the Western traveller wants. Its not rotten entertainment, warm beer and forgettable food as well as the inevitable cramped seats.

Hi there. No. You need a bit extra for the phone. This is for data. However if you are like me nearly all my calls now are on LINE or Weechat or whatever. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

In days past I would pay for internet as an extra at my hotel and add in a 1 gig package and use all the free sites that I could. It all got a bit messy and I lost interest. Add to this using the mobile hotspot to run my computer and it was all becoming confusing. I also use more data now because of a bit of youtube watching. The matter has now been resolved for me as follows. AIS have the following 30 day packages. Unlimited at 300 or full throttle unlimited at 450 baht. I took the slower package to try it out and have just watched a Youtube video on the laptop without problem and blips s

I guess that whatever the price the title of the topic says it all!

I think that the Lek breakfast about 10 years ago was about 70 baht and it wasn't worth that at the time. Thanks for the update. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Always a good read. Thanks for taking the time.

You can get iboprofen 800 mg slow release. This is what I am using. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

ON the advice of another boardie I stared to take glucosamine 1500 and after a month I was fine but it relapsed about two months ago but I still take it and only have brief bursts of pain. For these times my doctor recommends ZOSTRIX but I am unsure if you can get it in Thailand. I got over three years of relief taking these. I am also taking a mixture of paracetamol 500 and ibuprofen 800 SR. These work well enough and I only take as I need. I asked the doctor for something stronger for those bad days and wow! She gave me Diclofinac 75 mg and these really work but as she points out the m

Think about it this way. The rear entrance to the Areca is only 5 minutes from the Villa supermarket and a very good wine shop. It is always handy to have places like this on your door step.

Just to add my opinion. If you can afford the Areca why bother moving? Seems that the location, facilities, ease of having a joiner etc makes this a good destination.

One other thing about the D. It could be worth you while looking at the old part of the hotel. The rooms are not as flash but are big and I had one looking down to New Plaza. The problem for some is that there is no lift in the old part but if I recall the price was right but the crap pool, that was by the way closed for 'maintenance' half the time I was there was a deal breaker and I never went back.

You make a good point and to add to that I wonder if Pattaya is the perfect place for a holiday for disabled people? Sure, I don't mean the pot holes and the lack of pavements but I have seen the girls do all that they can in gogo clubs to make people in wheelchairs comfortable and at ease. While it is easy to criticise the girls for having an indifferent attitude compared with days past, I have seen some really happy guys taken out of their confined world.

Odense! What can I tell you. When someone bends the law to make my life easier I can hardly identify the solution or the supplier of the solution. I think that you are smart enough to figure it out. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I am pleased that I raised the question. Besides learning something about open source a member came to my rescue and showed me one of the priveledges of being on this board. I wont name the member or the solution but I am grateful.

Surely there is a pool on the roof? Very small and very little shade. Friend of mine moved there recently and said that the service was good and worth the money. His girlfriend whispered to me that he was delusional. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Thanks Evil. Will do. I simply don't use these programmes enough to make the cost worth while.

Exactly but what I am asking is what Open Office is best. Kingsoft is Open Office but as I have pointed out it is becoming a pain.
