Yes, I did have same lady.

Thanks!

I gave my room lady Bt200 on day one, and she was very pleased.

For what it's worth, I chatted to Guido yesterday, who said that he was thinking of moving, but not to Pattaya, to somewhere else in Bangkok. He said he was fed up with the endless rumours of redevelopment etc.

Nice analogy, I understand. Its a real shame that you have been driven to this.

There is an obsession with I-phones, as they are considered chic, etc. I have never used them, as I never used Apple. I am more than happy with my dual sim Samsung, retailing at around £170.00. Only thing is it doesn't support an e-sim. Otherwise fine.

I noted, when landing at Suvarnabhumi yesterday, that Thai still had 5 A380s lined up in a row, defunct, paint peeling off. No way they will be serviceable for years. There were 3 777s as well. Appalling management.

Whose family are big in cannabis farms, I believe, what a surprise....

Another Old Daddy personality!

PS. As other members have said there are plenty of TDAC machines available to do the necessary.

My Thai friends say that General Prayut is hovering in background, thinking of making a return!

I agree with Neil. First issue for me was VIP Lane . it's well signposted, but wrong. You follow the signs to Fast Track, and when you get there, you get sent back to the next arrivals section, which you already passed, which had no reference to fast Track or VIP! Just Thai passports. So I asked the lady in charge, yes, she said VIP lane is in Thai Passports. You walk up, towards the Thai passport area, and at the end, on the right, rather hidden, is the VIP section. 6 booths. About a 10 min wait. Several people were being sent away, who had not filled in the TDAC. I got there, showed TDAC on phone, but he didnt look at it, it must have been in the system, stamp, etc 30 secs. PS don't forget boarding pass!

I would die for slim pickings like that!

Or you tickle his fancy!

Also, tip at beginning encourages the staff. As said, they are badly paid, minimum wage Bt400 per day, most of us can afford to tip!

I arrive tomorrow, and will report. I can use VIP/priority lane.

If you do subscribe, you can immediately cancel the subscription, on the same page. I do that, before even going to their site, then you just get the one month.

The latter, he loves it!

I second Le Meridien, where I arrive on Friday, alas only for 3 days.

You have to be careful when you subscribe. Some sites, in my experience the minority, have a lot of full on sex videos. The rest, basically just have a lot of nude pics, cock, ass, tossing off, etc, but not worth paying for. Trouble is you don't know till you pay! The site may say they have 100 videos, but you can't check the content.

I have had taxi drivers get lost, several times, and have no clue where the address is. Its fine if its a large company, and they can go by building name. if a small company, issues arise. That why I got to use the metro, and ask clients to give me directions from the relevant exit. All stations have clearly marked and numbered, of lettered exits, plus maps, also now in English. Otemachi can be a problem, with some 50 exits!

Would be Interesting to know!

Indeed, it can be painful, I'm told!

'I you ask me, both camps exaggerate.' indeed. I have a regular I see in Bangkok, Vietnamese, who is great. Good sex, good English, nice guy. Have used other Vietnamese guys who were not so good. Never had a complete dud.

Good pun...
