I think most of the service is 2G or 1.5G

I believe you mean 2.5G. EDGE is 2.5G

Pax up, up, up - and still nowhere to park. International airport my arse.

This post doesn't even make sense. If the amount of passengers continues to rise, of course parking would become even more scarce. There are quite a lot of international destinations out of this airport, so of course it is an international airport.

You do not make sense - there is nowhere to park. I am aware it is an international airport. I suggest you take more tablets.

Tablets? Im posting from a PC.

There is parking at the airport. Garage and surface.

Why the demand for 4G? What am I missing?

I have 3G - all is fine.

Don't we always want the newest and best things?

Yesterday's Thai Visa had an article about rising tourism with this quote: During the first six months of the year, the country main gateway Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport welcomed 26.75 million passengers followed by Don Mueang with 14.43mn and Phuket 6.43mn. Chiang Mai Airport handled 4.04mn passengers.

How can Mr Omani be the 17millionth visitor through Swampy if 26.75 million came in the first 6 months of the year?

Domestic flights and people transiting. I believe this promotion is for international arrivals to Thailand (i.e. pass through immigration).

If you wanted to stick to MRT/BTS only, then just take the purple line to Wongwian Yai, then transfer to BTS, and ride up to National Stadium or Siam.

Otherwise, take the purple line to Phan Fa and take a taxi over to MBK.

wow, very nice. congrats

Thai AirAsia: not affected by ICAO red flag
the red flag has resulted in Thai AirAsia deciding to close one route to Sapporo

So they were affected

Nice one rubl

depending on its quality it may not be suitable for fuel either. that is wishful thinking to gain some profit from all this corruption and incompetance

What causes the rice to be not suitable for distilling? I don't understand why they can't make ethanol from the rotten rice.

Anyone know the deal with the Pinklao extension? At least I think it's an extension, yeah?

The MRT blue line extension? What about it? It's being worked on and should be open in approx 5 years.

Just moved out here so was wondering when the estimated completion was. It's an MRT extension? I thought it was BTS?

I'm not too familiar with that part of town, but the blue line extension has two stations, Bang Yi Khan and Bang Khun Non, that are somewhat in the Pinklao area. The MRT orange line also runs somewhat near that area but they haven't started construction on that.

Again, please excuse my ignorance of the Pinklao area of town. I know nothing about it.

Blue line is definately MRT.

Codename has for a long time been more about hope that accuracy as you'll see if you peruse the history of that thread. Much of those dates bear little resemblance to reality...

Just trying to keep the thread alive

In the US it's pay per view only.I'm surprised that it's not that way through out the world.Sorry not pay per view only.

Wow, no kidding. You guys are lucky to be in Thailand to watch the fight for free.

wow, they actually spelled Colombia wrong in the article. Amazing

lol, great. Idiots will be idiots everywhere in the world.

Any update when the extension from Mo chit will begin? Late 2015 now?

Construction contract was signed April 3. Work to begin in June.

Too late for ideas now. Anyways, let us know how the trip went!

Went to the new refurbished Emporium the other day. I was so impressed. The old food court which overlooked the park has been replaced by some pointless lifestyle shop. The new super replacement foodcourt now offers dishes at about 4 times the price, plus it has a weird system of big payment card which instead of being loaded in advance, you have to settle when / before you can leave. The cinema upstairs seems to have got more expensive too.They have done an excellent job of keeping out the riffraff, including me, from now on, and I can happily do without ever going there again.

So glad they have built more soulless shopping malls in the area.....I can visit the same outlets in many different but similar malls.

Emporium is part of a whole new cutting edge development. The city keeps evolving, prices keep rising, the culture changes. I'm sure there are plenty of other people that are not happy and will miss the way it used to be. It happens all over the world, every day.

It's nice that they are building such fancy new places (Terminal 21 also) further out of the central part of the city.

I just saw it. Very disappointed. It looked like a direct sequel to Tokyo Drift and all I got was a bunch of superhero clowns.

That's because it is a direct sequel to Tokyo Drift

You could say the Ban was "GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS!"

Thread is over. We have a winner.

Brilliant

CAT says thank you for sparing them

I'm sure they will get it figured out quickly but I wonder what "air operator certification procedures" really means. Is it related to the flight crew, the air planes, the air traffic control, airport security, or what.

Let's face it, there is too much at stake financially for them not to fix this as soon as possible.
