  1. We all know drugs are a problem everywhere. Nice to see them catch and deport a USA smuggler. I wish we would see more of this. They prey on the weak and deserve the worst the world can offer. Follow link: http://www.bradenton.com/2013/09/27/4741579/suspected-us-drug-smuggler-deported.html
  2. I was surprised by this also until I remembered this is the domestic airport and Narita is international only. Haneda has also been adding some international flights which makes it even busier. Definitely the airport to fly into if you are visiting Tokyo.
  3. No advantage. I just think the thought is have 2x as much available in some form.
  4. I imagine it was deleted because discussions of underage sex are not allowed Reason being is risk of being blocked by Thailand
  5. Denny Crane!!!
  6. This is even better then Hostages. First episode last night and I am hooked. I love James Spader!!!
  7. Floods in Thailand Hopefully this will not spread to Bangkok or Pattaya. Since I am going to both in 10 days. Just a yearly occurrence unfortunately! attached link: http://www.thephuketnews.com/sukhumbhand-plays-down-bangkok-threat-42066.php
  8. Interesting Jim I would call . There can be no doubt about what the voucher says 50% off the best available rate. I would demand that they honor exactly what it says. Thanks Michael for the tip. I already printed my voucher!!
  9. The absolute #1 rule I have in Thailand is do not eat seafood. It has served me well!!!
  10. First episode last night and a great start. Right up until the last 30 seconds I had no idea how this show was going to last a season. Hope they can keep up the intrigue!!!
  11. Interesting article on attempts to build a dam in Thailand. I have no idea what this dam would do for the floods. I find it interesting because environmental groups are the same all over the world. Fight for the environment vs progress. Never quite sure who is right in these fights in the USA and now here in Thailand. follow the link: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/370954/anti-dam-walker-sasin-gets-huge-bangkok-welcome
  12. Kind of an apt description. Can't call it a GoGo Bar! It does serve cocktails and cocks and tails are available for take out. HEHE
  13. Floods continue to devastate parts of Thailand. This happens every year. Send Thai Air to The Netherlands and bring back some engineers who know what they are doing? Of course then the Government would have to spend the money? Link provided: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/370709/rain-brings-floods-to-lower-central-isan-regions
  14. What are your experiences driving in Thailand? Motorbikes or Cars involved in accidents . How are you treated? Does the writer of this letter have a point? Follow link: http://www.pattayamail.com/mailbag/who-s-at-fault-30364
  15. Do you like classical music? Imagine getting something of quality in Pattaya. How many would attend this concert. Maybe more things to come?? Follow this link: http://www.pattayamail.com/arts-entertainment/mozart-and-vivaldi-are-coming-to-pattaya-30351
  16. In fairness I don't think you can see anywhere in my post that I said his posts were fiction. I was specific that in the eyes of many his posts were considered fiction. Since I know that you read all the other Forums that he posts the identical things in,then you know his posts have been questioned by some. I don't know him personally and have no idea whether some of it is fiction. That is the point ! Nobody knows whether something in a Forum or newspaper or tv is fact oor fiction. As someone who travels all over the world I read reviews all the time on Trip Advisor, Booking.com etc etc etc. I don't consider any of them fact . I take them for what they are worth and try to ascertain where I would like to stay. Unfortunately I have stayed many times in Hotels with great reviews that turned out not to be the same in my eyes. So were the reviews Fact or Fiction!. Maybe they were fiction or maybe we just did not have the same experiences. I have had good friends recommend certain boys to me in Thailand that were DUDS in my eyes. Does that mean I don't want to read about others experiences . Of course not. A person of reasonable intelligence should be able to distinguish between a review written by a real person or someone who has never experienced the place and something written by the Business.
  17. The talent level this year is beyond belief. I love this kid I think he has the X Factor! What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sd38doSEDw
  18. You just don't get it. Anything on a Forum can be fact or fiction. Nobody should know that better then you because a good portion of what you post is considered fiction in the eyes of many. I have no idea whether it is fact or fiction. I take anything on any site or any forum or any newspaper etc etc etc with a grain of salt. Maybe it is fact and then again maybe it is Fiction. That is the real world, so stop trying to tell the rest of us what we should have on this Forum. It is not for you to decide!!!
  19. Great photos , bring back memories of my trip there with someone special. Yes that is always better and you are a Lucky Man!!!
  20. It is that time of year again in Thailand. Rains come and the floods make life miserable . Same areas but so far Bangkok may be spared this year. Sooner or later they have to get some dams built to stop the yearly destruction. follow this link: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/370215/persistent-rain-prompts-chao-phraya-flood-alert
  21. Great story and great photos. Ask your guide to take you also to some of the less popular ruins. Much better for photos with nobody there and just as spectacular!1
  22. After briefly reading the wiki travel synopsis, I have no interest in visiting this area.
  23. Geography was never my best subject. I had no idea Malaysia had a border with Thailand. I understand the need for border control. To bad it takes fences to do it: see this link: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/370022/thailand-supports-malaysia-plans-for-border-fence
  24. Looks like the taxi drivers in Chiang Mai may have won their fight against the raise in their parking fees. Glad to see the little guy win in Thailand. Chiang Mai is a great city and needs the taxis for all the tourists. Try this link: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/369993/chiang-mai-airport-taxi-strike-resolved
