I have never successfully redeemed any FF or other airline club membership points or whatever - just complicates life too much for me. Tell me how much and I'll either fly with you or someone else. I want to go when I want to go and come back when it suits me and the best deal fitting my requirements gets my business. I also object to store 'loyalty cards' and (in the UK) 'Nectar Points' - the 'loyalty' is on the wrong end of the deal. It is the store's job to earn my business and express their loyalty to me by providing a combination of best price and service. I don't ever want to be in t

I'm almost halfway through my Pattaya stay and, compared to Bangkok, Pattaya in high-season SUCKS. I admit I am a GoGo addict and I have spent a lot of time (too much effort) hunting through the GoGos and one thing is certain, over New Year's there are FAR to many punters for the number of girls. Girls seem indifferent and huddle away from the punters when not dancing. A lot of places , the punters seem to bring their own girl.

Did you get a confirmation email from them when you first booked? If not maybe your/ISP's spam filter is blocking their traffic - Just a thought. Anyway, if Sawadee is not respondong you could try emailing MS directly (msuites@loxinfo.co.th) they're pretty good at replying (I booked directly with them this time for Dec. - no deposit, pay on chec

I've been under a few 19 year olds... I also have the stock answer to the "How old you?" question - neung roi and it's exactly as Samsonite says, they can't decide if you've got your thai wrong, they mis-heard or you're lying through your teeth or maybe, just maybe, you are 100 years old... There's an old formula that the ideal age of a woman for a man is half his age plus 7 - for me that's 28, which to be honest would be about right if I were looking for a TG to setle down with (I'm NOT! )

In the UK women of easy virtue are referred to as 'bikes' - as in "She's the village bike..." So, finding a bike to ride hard every day in Pattaya should not be a problem...

The phone number (96012011) doesn't work and no reply to email so far... K.
