Anything to declare? Yeah, don't ever use Saudia Airlines! Horrible experience from start to finish. 1st leg was full of pilgrims to Jeddah who spent the whole flight moving around, getting changed, shouting at each other, crowding the toilets so we never got a moments peace. Food was barely edible consisting of eggs and vegetables or a pizza roll. Service was as though we were to be tolerated. Seats had good space but were uncomfortable. Entertainment system was ok but sound quality was terrible. Delays and queue jumpers put me in a bad mood anyway. And to top it all, they lost a suitcase in Jeddah on the way back. About 20 others didn't get their bags either. And their reporting system is crap so there's no update. I called their office to try to find out more and they just fobbed me off to the airport as it's not their responsibility. We saved about £1000 on this flight compared to direct flights. Next time I will spend the extra money! Rant over and I will post elsewhere how great the rest of our holiday was. Cheers! LF

Nams was good for us. 1400 baht for a larger car all in. Bit chaotic at the pick up point but a smooth journey.

Cheap as chips! Direct from Gatwick to BKK starting from October 2025. As low as £650 return. www.flynorse.com

Will be in BKK so I think a trip to khao san road might be on the cards. Never been there so should be an experience. Either that or Silom Road.

Can't believe Alex is selling Rockhouse after all these years! I remember when he opened in LK Metro and predicted that it would become a huge entertainment area. I smiled with indulgence thinking I'm not so sure. But he proved me and many others wrong. But maybe now he can get the best price for it.

If he's still around Pisit in Jomtien. He does have a Facebook page. He did a very good portrait of the Mrs.

All looks good here. Was worried I would have to try and remember my password but logged in smoothly. Well done! LF

There must be quite a few bar or business owners you know who would pay for a spot ad? 2k a month from 4 or 5 and you have covered your costs? They could sponsor a section so have exclusive ads in that area? You would need to prove membership and daily views but that should be easy. Done properly they would not be too invasive and with the right management the forum could grow. I'd be happy to come over and be your sales exec. 120k baht a month salary and company car and I can be there tomorrow! ??

We are looking to sell our popular little Thai Takeaway business in Lincoln. If anybody lives locally or is thinking of a move this is a great business all ready to go and expand. Please PM me for more details. Cheers! LF https://m.daltonsbusiness.com/thai-restaurants-for-sale/growing-thai-takeaway-and-cafe-lincolnshire-uk/432713

That's Miki Haim's company isn't it? He always seemed on the level to me and has been around for a long time.

Pattaya Players have got auditions coming up. They're a good bunch of people.

Always a good read!

Very nice. Some clever ironic shots there

Weird. Was just watching a movie today called Pusher with him in it and thought about him in this. Movie was crap though!

Did all ours ourselves and Mrs flash now has a British passport. Just use thaivisa and thai UK for help. Just be careful as there is a load of bollox on the net - usually from thai lawyers!
