  1. From Edmonton this new flight MIGHT be worth the extra $$$. 35 hours!! OMG. Tomorrow you'll be in Thailand so fast you might not even need to watch a movie! Good luck. I heard the return flight BKK to Vancouver is even shorter. I love it when the Europeans on here complain about their flight to BKK when most of them can get here non stop in 10/12 hours!
  2. That amount is insane for economy! I'd rather take much longer fly Turkish Air Vancouver to Istanbul to Bkk and do a night or two in a hotel in Istanbul ( cheap and way more comfortable than Business class ) and do the same the way back. See an incredible city each way or just sleep a lot. Probably $1500 ish including Istanbul hotel. $2580!!! Come on! I'm sure Cathay with one connection in Hong Kong was much cheaper than that but they might not be running yet.
  3. That flight was awesome! No morgue. You def don't want to do Singapore -JFK the longest flight in the world at 18 hours. Just did that each way in March and April. The flight was great and slept a lot and that was premium economy.
  4. You couldn't pay me enough to fly China airlines on a long haul flight. Also with the times you quoted I bet some of the layovers are just an hour or so. If your first flight is a little late you may not make the second flight. From the east coast Boston and NYC have similar flight times maybe about 21 hours going 19 1/2-20 going back with a layover. I did Cathay BOS to Hong Kong ( 15-151/2 hour) then Hong Kong to BKK ( 2 ish hours ) several times. There is something about just getting there that I find attractive. I always have an aisle seat to get up and walk around. Emirates going the other way was great but now they have less flights Dubai to BKK. I agree with you the international transfer when doing Seattle to Vancouver is not convenient at all. You must have to enter Canada go through customs get your bags then get to possibly another terminal , check your bags again, go through Canadian customs again and wait for flight. A lot of wasted time.
  5. Never saw a fishbowl 125 Sq meters with a private 15x3 meter outside balcony with great plants, sun chairs , table etc. Top floor corner and amazing views. Walk to every conceivable restaurant, mall, business, gym etc in 10 minutes or less. As a side note. Ever think the HUSBAND could be involved!!?
  6. The flight from Vancouver to BKK is 16 to 16 1/2 hours. More bad reporting. There simply aren't enough people to travel this route even in high season. It will fail. The Thai air New York City to BKK and even Los Angeles to BKK flight should be started again. They were always filled and the airplanes have become more modern and light weight since these routes seized operation. I heard in the past that it's cargo that really makes the $$ on these routes but maybe the new planes can carry more now. I for one prefer a non stop 17 hour flight from New York to Bangkok. Singapore air does daily 18 hour flight NYC to Singapore with no economy seats. Just premium economy and Business. Thai air or someone else should follow this model. Singapore air prices for premium economy are excellent.
  7. Because they have students who want to excel in the world. That is the reason.
  8. The 2 am closings in Bangkok Sat night left thousands with $$ in hand and nothing to spend it on except for noodles. I'm sure Pattaya was the same. It seems the strictest ever in BKK. I was here even in March and April and it wasn't so early. What's the big deal about closing at 4 at least on weekends when tourism is up and Thais want to go out as well? It was 5 am for many years in the past. For the " what can possibly go wrong " brigade. All you people are tucked in or under your beds then so why comment!
  9. I prefer my condo life, a view and zero noisy and nosy neighbors. Can leave my place for months and nothing ever happens. When I want to go to the beach anytime I just do.
  10. Yes anything fresh is good. Habi's bad.
  11. You think no 10 years olds in the 70's, 80's, 90's etc ever smoked? You think these kids never had access to it before June 2022? Smoking pot also doesn't label you as " pot head" either. They are not buying it at 700 baht a gram either. They are not " running around " smoking it. Where the heck did you get ALL this misinformation from? It's all in your head or you believe some of these silly threads for some reason. Where is your common sense? One picture and article on line does not define what is the truth.
  12. But what about Will and Kate? ????
  13. That meeting was barely 30 minutes and useless. Everything else Will and Kate did in their 3 day 2 night visit to Beantown was actually interesting. The visit to Greentown Labs in Somerville and the Earthshot Awards and of course they stayed up to see the Celtics win! Great visit.
  14. Do you really think 10 year old Thais did NOT smoke weed before June 2022? Can you answer this question?
  15. Families smoke pot together all over planet earth This is not what you are understanding
  16. By this comment you are not understanding that especially when you are pre teen/young. Most of these kids don't know what is even CONSIDERED legal or not. Opium , cocaine , yabaa, Tina, ecstasy are not less available here than even alcohol! For most pre teens alcohol is the hardest to get and even do in public. In inner cities and rural areas as well in North America , Europe etc alcohol is also harder to get. Other drugs readily available. So that is why I think your thinking is def in a " bubble mentality " many find drugs to shoot up easier to get. By your thinking alcohol is easy to get. Yes if over 20 it's very accessible. Under 20 harder to get but available.
  17. Nice to see some input here instead of " Fox News still soo bad " brigade just spewing to reach 1 million posts.
  18. What unbelievable bubble do you exist in?
  19. It's incorrect history. Just stop it!
  20. Deflect all you want. Big eye roll.
  21. It seems like you're calling Rosa a poster child. Strange. So if your story of the original girl is true then she WAS NOT pregnant so why would she not be the one with the credit for refusing her seat? #Claudettecolvin https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/claudette-colvin-record-expunged/#app
  22. Well there was. Maybe the original person is who should get the stature and credit. A natural warrior. This is the woke era of bold truth isn't it?
  23. Well unfortunately if you dig a little deeper there was a pregnant 16 year old nine months earlier who did this and perhaps wouldn't have had as much impact as Rosa was working with the NAACP as secretary at the time.
