  1. I recently booked an economy return AirAsia flight through Booking.com and, later, had to change the date of the return flight. I thought I would either get the brush off when I tried, or that it would be hard and expensive. In fact, I found that Booking.com provide flights through GotoGate.com and their chat agent couldn't have been more helpful and got the date changed for me with no problems.

  2. My paternal grandfather was born in 1851 and witnessed the capitulation of Paris to the invading Prussian army in 1871 and their troops marching along the Champs Elysees to the Arc De Triomphe. He had obtained a Laissez Passer in London (a tissue-paper-thin document neatly folded into a leather holder, which I still have) to visit his father, my great grandfather, who was an eminent doctor and surgeon, and had been despatched by the War Department in London to Paris in 1870 as Medical Commissioner to the French Army as an observer and remained there throughout the dreadful siege and continuous bombings by the German army. He was attached to the American Ambulance there and gave assistance to the dying and wounded during the three key battles and he was awarded the Legion d'honneur by the French Provisional Government.

    Thanks. Where exactly did you have the proceedure, here in Thailand or someplace else.

    The procedure was done at Guy's Hospital in London. I'm told that the prostate Aquablation process was first developed is about 5 years ago and has since had a rapid take up in many other countries because of its precision and because it's far less intrusive and, for larger prostates, much safer than TURP. I understand that Bumrungrad Hospital in Bkk now offers the procedure.

  4. My colleague arrived at Heathrow from Malaysia via Abu Dhabi two days ago. He was through immigration in about 5 minutes. Concerned that he had not been asked for any documents or forms or evidence of the vaccinations he'd had in Malaysia, he asked an official where he should present them. He was waved through without showing anything other than his passport at the egate.
