Bill i still have 1 Bussiness class ticket on Northwest,If you like i can fax you a copy of the certificate.You can email me at phil07232000@yahoo.com

Jackson,I sold the A.A. first class ticket yesterday.The Northwest Airlines bussiness class ticket I am looking for $2,000.The US Air ticket im looking for $400.00.

Crackpot there are no names on the certificates,they are like rewards.The company i worked for got these blank rewards for doing so much travel last year.I have been lucky enough to travel back and fourth to Thailand in bussiness class this year 3 times.If anyone is interested i can send them a copy of the certificate.

I have three airline tickets for sale.I have one first class ticket from anywhere in ths U.S.A to Tokyo on American Airlines,I have one bussiness class ticket from any where in the U.S.A. to anywhere in Asia Northwest airlines flys.I have one coach class ticket from anywhere in the U.S.A to Europe that US Air flys.All of these tickets are good until around the 1st of August 2004,I would not sell them but i am trying to raise some capital to get married in Thailand in March.

Well i found just what i was looking for on Karbi.NOTHING..There was not alot to do for sure.I did stay at the Shearton hotel,very nice hotel not completed yet.Everything at the hotel was way overpriced.Karbi is a very beautiful island awesome rock formations,great looking beaches.There is NO nightlife to speak of.We did some great mountain biking found some very good and cheap resturants.Had a very relaxing time.Spent 7 days there maybe a little to long for me.Karbi is kinda of unspolied now,but there is alot of construction going on around where the Shearton hotel is,I see in 4 or 5 years th

Steve i flown Emirates from London Dubai Bangkok several times.I personally feel the Business class seats towards the front of the aircraft are better.like rows 7 or 8,plus you want to be on the 2 side.If i remember correct it is 2-3-2 seat configureration.I think Emirates also has one of the best business class lounges in the world.I am looking forward to the flying from JFK in April of next year.

Hi Thanks for the repiles,were going to try Krabi $125.00 roundtrip flight from Bangkok.I was able to get the Sheraton Krabi Beach Resort for $53.00 a night.The hotel is a newly built property on the beachfront.Dont know to much about Krabi.Im just looking for a nice beach,cold beer,and not to crowded.

Does anybody have any suggestions for a 4 or 5 day getaway from Bangkok/Pattaya.I have done Phuket and was not to impressed with it.Im looking for clean beaches,A good hotel,and not to crowded.I will be taking my gf with me so i dont really need over the top nightlife,If I need to take a plane there thats o.k.Any help would be great..Thanks Boston Phil

I have stayed at the Pattaya Centre Hotel twice,I stayed in one of the deluxe rooms.The rooms are very large but run down.No problems with guest,they did take the I.D. at the front desk.Funny storey,The last time i stayed there me and my buddie went out to get something to eat when we were walking back to the hotel i got that awful feeling in my stomach that i needed to take a bad crap,so i pick up the pace of my walk a little quicker,I get back to the hotel,great im going to make it to the shitter without causing a hugh mudslide in the lobby .Start running up to the elevator and boom 50 Chine

United has a fare of $577.40 leaving the 5th of May return on the 15th of May.Last day to purchase 27 April

Try the Eastiny Inn Soi 8,They have 2 suites they have a nice living room area off the bedroom,and a nice dining room table with chairs,I stayed in one of these rooms last year,I think is was about 2000Baht,contact Mark Nookham at the hotel he will be able to help you out.

Hi are you guys coming in on UA875 from Tokyo....Im not sure if i am heading straight down to Pattaya.I was thinking about going from the airport to Nana Plaza for a few beers then down to Pattaya,If you guys are up for something like this let me know. ;D

Northwest is running a special from now until the end of May.JFK to Bangkok $600.00 roundtrip.Good deal..

Thats what i found to be great about the trip,it was so different.I have been going back and fourth to Thailand for about 10 years maybe 3 or 4 times a year,going to the bars meeting a new chick everynight,but after a while it started to feel same-same.It was great to get outside the tourist zone for a while.It was not the most comfortable sleep i had in awhile but that is all part of the experience,getting ripped off is all part of the landscape of being a tourist in Thailand.But if i was ripped of $1.00 buy some poor farmer,i would bet he needs the buck more than me.

Good luck on the Visa,we are still trying to figure out what to do.Should i move there should she move here.Anyway you look at it,it will be very difficult.I have 2 more trips over there this year.I hope we can figure something out.But good luck to you and the misses ;D

Yes I am back,I had such a great time.I would go back for sure.My Girlfriends family was great,me and her were the only ones that spoke english,so communicating with the family was with alot of smiles.There was not alot to do during the day so we visited alot of Wats,drove up to the Laos border,went to a weekend market where i was the only farang there.In bed by 10pm,the cat in heat whould start at 4am the roster at 5am and the dog that sounded like the roster at 530am.The last night we where there was great all of her relatives came over for a party,there was about 80 people there,we drank to

Papa Thank you for the great info and maps,this should be a great trip,58 hours 22 mintues until i leave,but whos counting..

We are going to fly into Undon Thani,then someone will pick us up at the airport,i think the drive to her familys home is about 2 hours? Ratshead have you ever taken the drive from Sakonnakorn to the friendship bridge at the border of Laos,if so how far is it,is it worth it.We will have a car at our disposal,Is there anything you can recommend to see.Thanks Boston Phil

Thanks Papa,i will skip the hotel,i dont even no if there is a hotel in town??.I am very much looking forward to meeting her family and also spending some time in her village.Great idea about a camcorder and the purchase of a Thai phrase book.Im luckey that my girl can speak real good engrish,a few years at university.should be a great time.8 days until depature form freezing cold Boston.Thanks again. ;D

Thank you Papa and nidnoyham,very good insight to what i am about to experince,Culture shock was when i first touchodwn in Bangkok 6 years ago for my first trip,Now its time to try something else out.I was told by my girl that i will be a movie star in her home.I did not understand what she ment until she told me that half of her family have never seen a farang,except for in movies..I am very much looking forward to this experince,I asked my girl if i should bring some gifts from home for her mom and grandmom{102} she said no that we would go shopping when i got Bangkok.{as usual}.I have check

Has anyone been there before,i am going there for 3 days in early February to meet my girls family,is there anything to do there.I have not been up country before so i really dont know what to expect.Any comments or suggestions..Thanks Boston Phil....... ;D

I have stayed at this hotel about 10 times in the last 5 years.I think the place is great,a couple things i like about the place,The sports bar on the bottom level of the hotel,really never to busy always a great staff of cuties running around,some really good resturants in the hotel,nice pool with workout room off to the side,great massage room.The hotel has a really good staff of people.If you need anymore info on the hotel send an email to me at pcampbell@pfi.com I would give this hotel 9 out of 10 stars.I will be back at the hotel on 7 Feb.

A good place i have stayed a few times is the Hard Rock Hotel,right on Beach road.Great ocean view from the all the floors,awesome swimming pool and bar in the pool.Never had any problems with guest staying with me.It is a little pricey$$$.But i can be a nice place to hang out for a few days.

Out of the 4 hotels you have chose Pattaya Centre is closet to the action on walking street.I have stayed there in the past,i think the place today is a S"" hole.The other 3 hotels i have not stayed in so i can not comment on them.I will tell you not all the action is on walking street.I agree with Emil the Flippers or Eastiny inn on Soi 8 is pretty good.Not much money maybe 800 Baht and there is plenty of action right out the front door of these hotels .
