Local news on BBC in the UK showing baht rate as 45 to £ ( Bank Rate ) Torist F/X rate showing as about 42 to £ . Whats rate in pattaya at the mo ?

Have just been doing a check on the Manchester Airport website for info on the train station and saw details of the terminals showing smoking areas !! just in T1 & T2 at the moment but T3 expected to follow suit soon . Apparently you go through Check-in , security etc then into the departure lounge and the Smoking Area is situated near the Food Court , it`s an outside area so no bother to non smokers . Good to see some sense at last from an airport in the UK , loads of smokers were using the toilets so this will be better than breaking the law !

Just wondered if , what we called , the Soup Kitchen was still going ? Was at the left hand side of the coach park at the ladyboy show , opposite soi3/4 ish ? Has some kitchens run by different folks , our fav was the first one from the road side as you went in ! Did an excellent Red Snapper also some fantastic Lobster :) MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ! Had some great laughs as the Girls (?) from the show used to come there for food and drinks during the shows , some interesting sights we have seen there ! Was cheap prices when we were last there and hope it`s still open as will be staying on soi 3

Just been reading some reviews on the new terminal on skytrax and most seem to be impressed although some initial niggles to begin with , just like most new places i suppose ! Will do a review after my there & back through it :)

When us smokers read threads like this we always get that "Smug" feeling !! At least we can say it`s the fags that give us a cough ! :)

Touch down in a couple of weeks and THE Boss wants me to take some photo`s of the grandkids to have painted while i am there ! Any reccomendations ? preferences ? Oil? Watercolours? Pastels etc ? Staying in soi 3 so somewhere local to that would be good but Hey-Ho , wherever is best ! Cheers

Nobody used it yet then ? I will in 25 days time ! :)

Just spotted this post ...... thats my flight time and A380 on May 1st !! A380 on all legs and , hopefully using the new "A" Terminal :)

Hi All , Anybody flown through the new A380 dedicated terminal at Dubai since it opened ? Seems it`s just for the A380`s and should , hopefully , make the transit a bit easier :) We Hope :)

Friends of ours flew the emirates 777- /// -er and got the 2 seat config at the rear of plane , said it was an improvement on the 3 seat jobby ! apperntley there is just 3 rows with doubles and have a lot more space ! might be worth a look on seat guru etc........ C

Cheers m8 looking forward to the flight One question , what was the boarding procedure like ? C

Thoughts, observations always helpfull and appreciated C

Bloody Hell ! if Chris took his shoes off the room would soon be empty PDQ ! L

Thats good enough ! never drink alcohol when flying , before , during and 24 hrs after , keeps the jetlag at bay and the dehydration ! C

Will let you know back end of November when we r back ! L

Now theres a suprise Tom ! C

Hey Tom , we was told about the lounge access by a nice young man at the Emirates office ion London when we spoke to him on the phone , we had been seeking info about the airport hotel and he told us that as our transit layover was over 5 hours we were entitled to the lounge pass FOC ! The airport hotel would have worked out at about £125 for 6 hours Apparently you have to go to the Emirates transit desk on arrival and show your onward ticket stub , sounds good L

Dont forget to ask for your free lounge access pass if your layover is longer than 5 hours ! C

Hope you have a good night Adam ! wont be there but will buy you a beer in November Liz You cleared your message box yet ?

Thank you ! but i am not a Sir more of a Madam really !

There are a small rise of steps at the entrance to RG , 3 or 4 if i remember rightly , but if you go in through the r/hand side there is a straight pathway , little bit longer but its flat ! Lifts to all floors but you may want to consider asking for a low floor room in case of power failure , its a lot of stairs to the top ! Sabai lodge has a flat entrance and grouind level rooms for an alternative ! L

Always thought the entertainment box was just under the 1st window seats ? as i A , more legroom in B & C ? L

Adam , your message box is full , tried to send you a pm ! Hope the young lady has a good night ! L
