  1. I love those sandwiches. After boozing a can't resist a snack, and these stop me from hitting Mcdonalds or getting kebab.
  2. Priority is good entertainment, reasonable food, and quick layovers if necessary. For stopping off i like Emirates and Qatar. I make sure there is only a short layover in the Middle East (my limit is 3-4hrs). Both have good entertainment systems. to pass the time. Direct... i prefer EVA to Thai. Again, better entertainment. I have flown Kingfisher before. Not bad, but Mumbai to BKK leg saw us on a less impressive plane than London-Mumbai. A higher % of Indian nationals using there home airline (compared with say Arabs using Emirates/Qatar) means things like queues and boarding proc
  3. Looks like nuts or chocolate to me. He was saying what sounded like Tao-lat on his megaphone.
  4. I don't usually stay in rooms with a safe (even then i don't trust them having had a maid skim some cash on a trip to Angeles back in 2010). When i barfine i undress (and therefore take money/cash cards) in the bathroom before taking a shower. Back up cards and travellers cheques are already locked in a suitcase. I have chanced it before in the past...but i'd have the bathroom door open and have sight of where my cash is. Going for a shit was the problem!
  5. Watching that video i wouldn't have described him as an old guy. "Apparently some big dude (40's or 50's) walked into staghead grabbed an older guy who was sitting in there" Are we certain this Brummie guy was the one getting beaten?
  6. The Post Office have been advertising free international money transfers to overseas bank accounts Post office money transfer I can only assume they give a poor excahnge rate to make their profit?
  7. No, not me. I was merely filming the recycling lady at work
  8. Yes, i find masturbating at the window is cheaper than paying barfines
  9. Not sure which floor to take for the best view of soi 6. I want to take some pics so the top floor with balcony will be too high. Good for a general view...but not for girly pics (angle too steep so getting tops of girls heads/distance too far). Does anyone who has stayed there have an opinion on whether floor 1 or 2 offers the best view? The powerlines across floor 1 may be a problem?
  10. Thanks for the advice. Bank transfer is a better option than i thought. It may be worth opening a halifax account to take advantage of cheap transfer rates. I've also got a side trip to the P.I booked. I wonder if my Kasikorn card will be any cheaper than using a UK bank card for atm withdrawls? Not really a fan of carrying cash. I've had some skimmed from a hotel room safe in AC, and some taken from my bag in a bkk hotel.
  11. Just weighing up which option to go for? I already have a kasikorn account My bank would charge £25 for a bank transfer. The other option is to take Sterling TC's (1% charge on £1500 = £15)and pay them into the Thai account for convenience. With bank transfers, do you tend to get a poorer exchange rate? If taking TC's, will paying them straight into the bank be a mistake? Would i be better cashing them at a currency booth first to get a better exchange rate?
  12. Looking at some info i have just discovered that i paid more than i needed to for my Kasikorn debit card. Not knowing that there are different ATM cards to choose from, they naturally signed us up for the K Max debit card (which has an annual fee of 550baht plus 150b card fee). Total = 700b If you want a regular ATM card you only need the 'K debit card' (200 baht annual fee + 100b for card itself). Total = 300b The extra annual fee for the K Max card gives you some sort of basic life insurance, which presumably you won't need if you have already got travel insurance. The woman who
  13. Are you really suggesting someone who has a pattaya run business would be dishonest? On a serious note....i can only see 2 reasons for exaggerating/lying. 1. 'Bigging' yourself up (doesn't come across an egotist) 2. For financial gain (can't see how 'high costs' can improve the perception of a business or give it greater value) I've just thought of a third. 3. To stop people thinking you're loaded and asking for loans (you have high outgoings..."sorry can't help you")
  14. Has got a Pattaya-Addicts feel...but that does give it a more modern look. Could do with some tweaking to differentiate it from the other board. Incidently, Bryan was quoted as saying his board costs 27,000 baht a month to run on a dedicated server... "Addicts sends out 30,000 emails per day, 80,000 page views per day, 67 gigs worth of photos, 2 gig plus database.. Its got its own dedicated server". That seems a hell of a lot of money to me.
  15. Opened a kasikorn account in april. They have a branch in Royal Garden Plaza (upstairs). Cost was 1000 baht. 700 for the card etc, 300 was deposited into the account. Signed up for cyber banking and text alerts when the card is used.
  16. It's chaotic wherever there are clusters of beer bars Example soi 7 However, even shop staff and massage parlour girls will be throwing water...so you will get wet wherever you go in the daytime. Just accept it. At night it settles down, the exception being on the 18th when the usual night time ceasefire goes right out the window.
  17. Never have a proper sleep. May get away with a nap after a few drinks. Keep waking with a jolt though so usually play games and watch movies the whole way.
  18. Brilliant pics steve. The girls with their tits out was taken in TQ1 gogo?
  19. I had the best Chicken Korma of my life while there in september.
  20. "I thought you said the Lolitas girl washed her hands berfore she made this"? or Eating a meal whilst getting a blow job seemed like a good idea, but Terry struggled to finish that last meat ball or Terry was surprised to discover a greasy dildo had taken his seat as he sat back down
  21. I'll be opting for the slower train to Phaya Thai and then changing on to the BTS to get the Skytrain to nana. I often get to Heathrow via the London underground so i'm hoping this journey will be a little easier.
