Absolutely the motorbike driver did well but if I hadn't go on (as per normal) it couldnt have happened in the first place.

Talking of motorbikes had a very very lucky escape Monday night. I simply "normally" never go on them prefering walking to the Baht Bus routes. Really tired leaving LK Metro and definately well oiled but not drunk. Normally I'd walk back down Soi Honey to 2nd rd than get BB up to Soi 2/3 area. Instead by Climax got on motorbike. Coming up past Klang junction heading along 2nd road baht bus decides its going to swerve right across. I saw it immediately and fair play to motobike driver as he he did to slamming on the anchors but still hitting the back step of the baht bus.... We'd slow

Baht continues to weaken against the benchmark USD....right out to 31.84 interbank Sterling interbank right up to 41.40 now.....should be around 41.20 ish at TT

TT for Sterling was 40.74 earlier.....

Thai Baht tanking against the USD today.....right out to 31.65 interbank

Jusr re quoted and now same dates in June dropped right down to normal £424 on Oman and £418 on Gulf....both those were over £630 previously

Been noticeable when I checked several times for June trips traditionally one of the cheapest months along with May and they were a lot more expensive than normal

There is some misinformation in that link I think. They certainly havent got 11 x A330's unless they've aquired 7 more in the last two weeks Inflight magazine shows 4 in total unless its not been updated

I see one of their A330's (they only have 4) had emergency on Zurich to Muscat think it was Sunday oxygen masks deployed after depressurization An absolute certainty that I've been on that particular aircraft at some point as they used to use A330s on London Muscat Bangkok prior to starting delivery of their Dreamliners (shit in comparison I might add) https://simpleflying.com/oman-air-a330-diversion/

Whether down to Coronavirus or not last nights London to Muscat flight was under 50% full

Well I'd hazard a guess 9 out of 10 (at least) had no idea what NDTVI Pattaya is on a windy Friday

Eastiny have dropped the 3 nights for 2 promotion if anyone is getting room rates nowhere near what I stated !

Went by this place yesterday afternoon. Stack of workers rebuilding/re tiling etc etc. I didnt have phone with me for a photo but they had a placard up and will be running 2 for 1 offers. I noticed that included Vodka as well as Beers

Baht starting to wobble again. Sterling rising off the back of it....

Sterling was up around 40.20 late last night at TT.... Should be around that this morning. Dollar/Baht interbank just edged up past 31 again

Just been past Soi 2 TT and that one was showing 40.02

Without doubt Butch tremendous value. As per post couple bottles of bleach would sort the bathroom. Install a router for Wifi around pool. Mend the broken tiles. Ask the male staff to at least smile on occasions lol. 4 massive improvements there for absolutely pennies The standard rooms are a massive result at around 490 Baht make no mistake The location alone is worth couple hundred baht I'd say

Bit of a pasting today for sure. Baht gained against USD and Sterling dropped against USD a recipe for heading south. Just seen 40.50 under Atlantic bar and thats higher than it should be as well.

At time of post Baht weakening again against the Greenback....gone out to 31.24 interbank (only last half hour though) Sterling now 41.16 interbank....

I should have said in OP you need to register on their website because it gives an additional 10% off using hotels own website on top of the 3 nights for 2 offers If you register you'll see the additional black rectangular box with "member promotion" Screenshot is todays price for 3 nights in Deluxe so 638 Baht a night

Primarily because the Baht was weakening against the USD albeit on Friday Sterling was up slightly against the USD in addition. Double whammy in favour of Brits for once

If Sterling/Dollar stayed static at $1.32 we'd need Dollar/Baht to weaken out to 32.6 which I also agree is quite possible..... Make no mistake this coronavirus is not going to die down anytime soon. BA for example have taken all flight bookings to China off the system till April now apparently

Friend had recommended the pricing of the Eastiny Group of hotels and on that front he was perfectly correct. If you book use Hotels own website and prices are very cheap to say the least. There are 4 types of room and even the 76 SM Suites only run around 950 a night and I had the deluxe room which was the next highest price at 628 Baht a night if you book in multiples of 3 nights. We were paying these sort of rates 20 years ago plus. There the recommendation ends though. There are so many niggles that with a bit of effort could be sorted. Bizarrely Indians who I thought would be an

I can see from my trading platforms where traders on Dollar/Baht have positioned themselves.....We've got over 83% "shorting" the Baht (meaning they want it to weaken)...stand on me thats a very high percentage. "Trading Chatter" suggests Dollar/Baht will open around 31.40 late tonight. We'll see but I wouldnt be surprised at further weakness

Lol always known that location as ambush alley bints coming from all directions
