Just noticed via netflights.com that Etihad are on offer at 339 pounds from Heathrow. Stacks of availability but must return before end of June

Really good to see especially the layout of Soi Diamond with the subtle differences you forget about. In the Baby Go Go 1988 at 58 seconds the girl with the frizzy hair eating the fruit is the lady who is now the massage lady in Flipper Lodge !!

The rooms in Soi 10 have got to be the smallest Ive ever stayed at.There wasnt even room for a wardrobe and they had hung a clothes rail at an appropriate place-tiny !! Stayed one day and checked out the next after finding out all rooms were the same. Definately no pool.

You can certainly gain access to lounge with Qatar Silver as I do. These prices really are mega low currently. Cheapest I have ever paid is 325 pounds on Tarom way way back in 1994 even more astonishing as taxes were just a tenner then !!!

Snap it up at that price !! Flew Turkish once and was fine with minimal transit times.

Stating the obvious but make sure you get allocated your seat at the front of economy so you are ahead of the hordes as you come off the motor for immigration. Move smartly anyway and you may make it.

I thought we were pricing July..........

Just had a quick look at July and cheapest I can see with any carrier is 588 pounds from Manchester ?? July tends to be one of the most expensive times of the year to fly. Edited-Swiss at 489 pounds on July 2nd

Thanks for that-to your knowledge are you hidden from "general" view when accessing box ?? (Not expecting bank style facilities !!)

CT, Are they security box facilities or mailboxes ?? Am clicking on icons but individual sites are not opening ??

Both my Thai Banks have long waiting lists for private security boxes within the bank. Can anybody suggest or anyone use alternative facilities anywhere ?? (Doesn't have to be In Pattaya but preferred) Thanks

Totally agree and also right at the very back.If there are any spare seats on the motor invariably they will be middle seats at the rear of the aircraft giving you extra room to sprawl out.

For those Northern BM's Qatar have a few selected dates in May and June using Netflights for 369 inclusive. Withdrawn or offer filled when checking today

Yes, what the flying fuck has your statement re flying free, dressed up like a penguin got to do with advocating child free planes in the first place dickhead ??

Of course you were never a child once yourself ?? Selfish twat

If there is a few of you going organise a taxi from one of the travel agents.Last time they took 4 of us to Ban Phe for 800 all in (3 years ago) and we could have got the Malibu Boat for 60 baht each but opted for a speed boat. Malibu always in my experience drop anchor at Vongduan beach (spelling) and right in the centre of the beach slightly more prominent than other "room for rent" offices we paid 800 baht with fan from the vendor. Pointless to book a package in advance as you end up in same rooms.

The Lodge but why the previous poster is worried about in room safes in reference to either clearly has no idea of the standards of either hotel. The Lodge alone has 2 front line reception staff that have been there since 1989 when it opened.The only bird trying to rip you in either Flipper will be the one who's ID is now in reception while you're snoring your booze off. Still without question the premium budgets hotels in 7 and 8.

True but I find even when as always, sitting in the back row of economy that if you walk smartly after leaving the aircraft you can overtake most of the other peasants before getting to immigration.

Yes watching the financial channels yesterday back here in self imposed exile in the Uk 3 "experts" from both side of the pond pointed to indicators that the bottom had been reached in troubled banking shares and that an end to the recession could well end in 2009. Watch sterling rebound over next 1-2 months.

Agree the price differential when flying in "reverse" is excessive. Board members are stating the exchange rate is the reason but thats utter bollacks. Long timers of the Pattaya scene will remember the exchange rate in the mid 30 's re Sterling/Baht and one way tickets home I purchased on 3 occasions (due as usual to not returning home on scheduled flight) were no more than 190 sterling. There was no price differential on flights with difference being 5% at most either cheaper or more expensive. Editions of Lonely Planet always stated buy a one way ticket to Bangkok as a one way ticket home would be very cheap

399 pounds advertised in all national papers for last week using BA/Qantas-still available

Jacko mine was *99# as well for any of 4 UK sim cards and dtac and ais. On the original instructions was advised would need to contact individual companys for User ID etc but not correct-just works whatever.
