Im not a regular poster, and never had a troll accusing me of lying on any internet forum. I must admit I am suprised by your comments, I didnt realise you were a prick. I didnt take photos of the bar area as I took the photos with my phone as my normal camera was in my case and I'm not one of these people who take loads of photos of strangers in bars or ask people to move out of the way so I can have my photo took , the pictures I took were where I wouldnt have to disturb anyone or look a pleb. Maybe you thought that I ran into 1st class and ruffled a cushion took a photo and ran off, the

For the benefit of Brown150. Hopefully the photos can be seen as Im not sure how I posted em. Above is dinner, Caviar for starters, nice fillet steak followed by the 3 thingy dessert. Below is seat and tv (sihowng flight number) and the 'spa'. Its a glorified shower room but nice to have proper loo than sit in a phone box and the shower is very nice. You just book with the stewardess what time you want it and you get min 20 mins depending on demand

Im shocked you could doubt that someone may put an untruth on this site 555 Not a member of the ff club as I said Inormally fly Qatar. Im not sure how to add photos (computer skills suck) but will try Had a go with the photos to no avail, got to go now but will read more info on how to post, if someone can let me know here to save me time please let me know but no biggie. For Brown150 I have photo of inside my pod which shows flight number on screen, my lunch (had to have caviar starter as they ran out of kebabs) and a couple of shower room. You said other people complain of no

This was 1st time I had ever gone Bizz class and 1st time in bizz class lounge. We got to lounge fairly early and about 4th people in, as we were checking into lounge I was laughing and joking with the girls behind the counter (I would imagine most bizz class punters seasoned travellers/workers who treat this as normal so dont bother with the chit chat) whereas to me its was an exciting start to the holidays. I said something along the lines of 'if you can't fill 1st class we won't be offended if you ask us to move there, don't worry we will keep it quiet as dont want to upset the riff raf

I normally fly economy with Emirates or Qatar bur 18 months ago decided to splash out on Bizz class for the A380. In the lounge at Manchaster blagged a free upgrade for me and my mate to 1st class on the 1st leg, the 2nd leg was a dissapointment having being in 1st but its a great plane and a great way to set off the holiday

I arrive in Patts on the 13th next month, will have to buy a baseball cap and start singing this down WS

I always stay at the Mercure with a room at the back overlooking the pool. A mate was there 3 days ago and as above posts mention the big field behind they have started building the new hotel and the pool at the Mercure has been shut whilst they re shape it so it looks like Xmas will be elsewhere in Patts.

I normally fly cattle class but last year went Bizz class on the A380 with Emirates Man to Bkk. I cant compare it to any other Bizz class as not done it, however not sure how good it is!! On arriving at Man (if within 70 miles of airport free exec taxi there and back) I got me and my mate upgraded free to 1st class on the 1st leg so the 2nd leg in Bizz was a bit of an anti climax. The bar at the back was great though, we propped it up for a couple of hours drinking Kia Royal champagne cocktails, then onto Vodka Martinis, shaken not stirred. the food was very good and excellent service

I like the beer garden, eat there quite often and never had a bad meal, I often go at sunset and sit outside as the sun is going down with a Heinekan ( I try and avoid alcohol during the day so this is usually the 1st) and read a copy of the days newspaper. I look on this as a cost cutting exercise as to buy a daily UK paper is 200bht and the Heinekan much cheaper so Im saving money

A mate had his honeymoon in Thailand and as a present told him I would buy them dinner here, the bastard had everything they could have and it cost me around £300. Should have bought him a toaster

I had a look last night, Dec 3 to Dec 26th, was over $2000. Back to the drawing board

Confirm with Fireman Sam, afternoon from Man-Dub-bkk is A380. leaves approx 2pm arrives approx 2pm local time (working from memory last summer) The A380 is available on return leg but flight from Bkk is about 2am, which is not my favourite time to fly. Since they launched the A380 I wanted to go on it and booked economy last yr Man-Bkk, but the little Indian chappie at Alpha flights (called himself Dave) sold us the flight too cheap so came up with the bollocks that 2nd leg in economy full so we fucked em off and booked Netflights. Me and a mate were going and they did a 2 person booki

Hi Glyn, Try travelbag and netflights. I keep looking for my mate for his Xmas flights, 14/15th Dec to 9th Jan (I've got to work but can still look) Flying Man to bkk with Qatar bizz class down to about £1850. 2 weeks ago around £2400, so I reckon london will be a bit cheaper We flew Emirates biz on the A380 in July but my mate reckons the Qatar biz class better seats, bigger seats and better all round. We got an upgrade on one of the legs to 1st class which was a bit special, the caviar was fine, but being a Yorkshireman eating caviar is not part of my regular diet so cant say if good

just looked for July 14th to July 31st, Man to Bkk £860. If I go on the 15th is £1060. Robbing bastards

Summer Spring is great hotel but as you say it is quite out of the way, the baht bus down to W/S would sometimes take an age. Coming back no prob with baht bus, bars on 2nd road at top just before Soi 1 open all hours. Hotel is walking distance from Big C so everything close at hand. Good thing is that although when coming back from 2nd road its a 100yd trek but its downhill and to get the baht bus on Beach Road is a 20 yard walk When I booked I kept asking for full sea view not 1/2 sea 1/2 soi and when we arrived got 1/2 and 1/2. Didnt kick off but expressed my opions at front desk and ne

Im looking for flights for Songkran next year but still put my dates in for Xmas so I can see what a good deal I got. Just put my dates 15th Dec - 4th Jan on Netlights and got £879 with Emirates from Man to Bkk. Etihad is over 1k so looks like a good deal as I booked 4 months ago with Etihad for £750.

Next month Etihad will be +2, me and a mate fly out on the 15th

Im staying here for the 1st time in December, I have e-mailed Nudee several times as I had booked a room in October on a mates behalf then he cancelled and let me down so 'spoke' to her several times. The penthouse rooms face soi 1 but have a side view of the sea, I have asked for a sea view on floor 6/7 for my visit.. They do have sea view rooms but they will not guarentee you a sea view. I have booked 2 rooms for me and a mate in December and we are staying for 14 nights and I booked back in July so I would have thought shouldnt be a problem but they still cant guarentee me a sea view

Saw Cheshire Toms post on the EVA offer and looking for next April. I can get the Premium Laurel from LHR to BKK for just less than £1200 compared to Evergreen Deluxe for £623. Have flown Evergreen once and was impressed as I normally fly cattle class. Is it worth paying the extra for a one off? I know I could get many many s/t for the difference or upgrade my hotel but business/1st class is a bit special. The promo on the website shows the Laurel in a 777 and I think the plane from LHR is a 747. Hoping to book by the end of the week so any opinion is welcome.

just put dates for Songkran in, £623 for evergreen deluxe, nearly got the credit card out

Should be no problem with the King size, I have never stayed in Tims but all the hotels I stay in I usually send an e-mail when first booking even if 4 months in advance to let them know I am looking forward to staying there and asking for a double. Usually get e-mail back within 48hrs saying no prob and then take e-mail with me. Only once was I given 2 singles and told couldnt have double, I showed them e-mail and within a few minutes got the double.

Any sites guys, looking for Xmas about 15/16 Dec to 3/4 Jan. I know they make the prices up but any Etihad/Qatar with a decent stopover around £1k (Emirates even more exp) Found Etihad for £870 but 10hr stopover on way back. Will the prices come down due to lack of demand? I understand at Xmas demand is higher but taking the piss is taking the piss.

Thanks for the info guys, looks like I'm still searching

Been back a week and looking for xmas flights, everyone wanting stupid money or 8-10hr stopovers. Finnair seems to have better prices but don't know anyone who has used them. Planes/food any good and do they have individual screens in seats etc. Any help appreciated
