One thing you can try is take a bog jumper over to Paris. The Thai flight from Paris CDG is a new 777 with IFE. It is also usually empty as they run that flight just to get back to BKK. You can stretch out usually with a row of seats to yourself if you don't like the films and sleep your way to BKK.

Only what he was smoking, snorting, popping, eating, mainlining, or drinking -
Ditto about Secrets for the day time. Good food also.

what website has the cheapest tickets?
VPI78 replied to commoncute1979's topic in Airline Discussion
I've found that although sites like Kayak are good at comparing prices they don't always have the best price for an individual airline, and I'm referring to apples-to-apples comparisons, e.g., same flight checked at the same day/time. I will start with Kayak and then if I find a flight on an airline at a time I like I go check the airline website. My experience has been that most of the time Kayak doesn't show the actual airline price at the time. It has paid to go directly to the airline site for me, not all of the time but many times. -
Why you may think Thais are stupid
VPI78 replied to PattayaPete's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Well, to one of the points of the OP's post, different strokes for different folks, the Yanks tend to go Month-Day-Year. So for a Yank, the numeric date of 11/1/2011 is November 01, 2011 whereas for her majesty's subjects it tends to be January 11, 2011. Doesn't mean either side is right or wrong. They just observe different conventions. -
Thai Cops to Crack Down on Foreign Gangs

Yeah, of course you're right Joe. Sort of like you see Sathorn listed as Sathon a lot. -

Chill dude or dudette. You can win the Thai expertise contest. I couldn't care less but your credibility isn't supported by making off the wall unsupported statements such as most of the Africans in the Sukhumvit Soi 3 - 5 area are "mostly Liberians." Then again they are probably all supporters of your General Mosquito - James Taylor. I suppose they all look alike to you but then again you are probably from Alabama. BTW, for someone claiming to be around for 40 years or so you should know it's Toei as in Klong Toei not Toy. You probably need to sharpen your Google research skills a li -
Thai Cops to Crack Down on Foreign Gangs
VPI78 replied to Evil Penevil's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
I've been in and around the area since the late 70s. It has always been a riskier area with a much different vibe than the other side of across Sukhumvit. Those of us that worked int he Middle East liked to go there occasionally because of that. Back then the disco in the basement of the Grace Hotel was a much livelier place than Angels/Nana's or most other places in Bangkok. Even today it makes for a change of pace to the rest of the Sukhumvit area which like Pattaya is in danger of becoming more of a Disneyland/Las Vegas sort of place with families wandering around. Nothing inherently wrong -

LOL, how in the hell do you know "most of them are Liberians?". You are either a troll or trolling for something. Otherwise you have no idea what you are talking about. -

I like the photo in the base Bangkok Post article where one of the detainees has a "paid" stamp on his hand allowing him to leave the BiB cordon. LOL gotta love Thailand. -
It seems to be a general confidence matter because the SET is down about 2% as well.

My name is Dale, the new owner of Bob's BBQ
VPI78 replied to bbqbob's topic in Bars/Gogos/Business Owners' Forum
Classic LOL , Tequila Reef being cited as an example of good food: "I will not return and try the food until I see a significant change in the reports on the food. It has been, shall I say, RANCID for far too long. No need for me to waste money on food I wont eat. I will go to Taquila Reef and get food that I know that I will enjoy." Maybe ... as long as you drink your dinner since it is hard to screw up beer and tequila.
