  1. I have been using Turkish for three years now between Bangkok and Baku with a few side trips to belgium, they are very good, IFE mostly upgraded on all planes, food is good. I fly every month with them and do not have any complaints, they have just refurbished the lounge in Instanbul and is excellent, there is even a pool table in it.
  2. I'd say you were well done as 75X20 = 1500
  3. I'm the same, I use handbrake all the time...just the way I was taught...missus does the same and when she was learning the instructor asked her why she did this !!!
  4. Mick, the lease is for two years as was renewed just recently, other bars also up for sale are No.1 bar (recent deal fell through), Seven's Corner is also up for sale and hearing that My Bar is also on the market too. All change at the moment.
  5. Field service rep for major gas turbine company (get to see the world) in the oil & gas game
  6. DD you missed 'hearded'....bit of a harsh reply to someone giving a view of his experience.....and please tell me how you make out he is a racist from this post.....because he used the word ARAB....sorry but isn't that what they are ? I don't like flying BA and says the BRIT stewardesses are arrogant..I'm a Brit....does this make me racist ?

    Hi GM, I had the same problem with a sore back when I had the Honda Jazz, but with the Vigo now no probs. What I did get was a seat cover which is made up of small wooden beads which suprisingly helps when driving long distances
  8. Hi Mick, what's the number for these taxis ? I saw it somewhere before but can't remember
  9. Hi PM I've booked in suite from 6th Jan to 13th, only heard/read good things about it so will wait and see..when are you booked in
  10. Mick I'll get you the number of AIA agent in Khon Kaen, she was at the house last time I was home about 3 weeks ago
  11. have you heard his trucking stories yet ?
  12. Mick, you say that there is a retired felang nearby who does cooking, is this Roly with the bad legs ? if so know exactly where you are
  13. Just booked my sister & husband to come visit in November and got 440 GBP per person from Glasgow, bit of a wait on the way out in Dubai, but still good value from Glasgow
  14. There is an ATM upstairs at one of the lounges, the stairs are located right at one end next to the burger king/food outlets dispenses dollars/euro/turkish lira
  15. Hi Nam-Thip (Danny), how are you, I am still there in the same location, just got back to work in sunny Azerbaijan yesterday, doing 28/28 rota now Bob
  16. Mick, I'll get Mr Khem's number, he is the guy that owns the Ratchawadee Resort next to the airport. Total genuine guy and has/had properties for rent, normally play golf with him. Even if you go to the resort for a day out swimming and such just ask at reception for him and say Bobby sent you
  17. Mick, I left on Jan 1 and was there for a month, seriously if going into town at night was wearing a fleece, socks and hat. If night fishing, big jumper, fleece, wooly hat and normally we would build a bonfire. I know phoning the wife it's all I get is "oh cold, cold", yeah same as offshore azerbaijan at this time of year, although better than last year as was in Georgia and temps of -27degC common throughout winter
  18. Mick, the next time you go there is a baguette sandwich seller just outside the duty free, they are delicious, can't remember price but not expensive
  19. Hi guys, live in khon kaen and work away month at a time, I am going home on the 8th October and will be purchasing a new driver. There are a number of good golf shops in KK and was just asking a bit of advice on drivers currently available and price possibly Thank you in advance
  20. mmm ...."little lie" well that tells a story, hung like a gnat
  21. Dr Mick, I would recommend Sofitel as far superior to the other two main ones, but the Charoen Thani is nice also and about 1300 baht a night so not too bad. All three are centrally located and next to most of the expat bars
  22. Land prices up north are going up all the time, I was lucky when I got mine 4/5 years ago and put a big 3 bedroom bungalow on it and I mean big....cost was 1.3 million in total, probably in the region of 3 million now as lakeside also. In Khon Kaen there is so many houses being built at present and existing estates are now developing like phase 4 and such
  23. Alex, sounds like great value, I just don't think the wife would give me the time off, also I believe we share a mutual friend from Edinburgh in Khon Kaen Turboman
