and who gave the 13 year old the keys to the motorbike? Don't tell me, also no matter how good the attorney is, the drunk driver should be heavily fined and jailed for a very long time.

"At least the General had some experience in the military," and what has a Military Academy educated soldier got to do with running a country? You are talking about a guy who stole the country in an illegal coup. Was it not Generals or Senators or whatever they are called who stopped Pita, the guy with the most votes from being the PM through some technicalities?

"not leader of a developing nation." and what or where is this developing nation? Are you referring to The Banana Republic of Thailand? If so there is an awful lot of developing needing done.

Yes I see what you mean.

"anybody who carries a knife is a gutless coward in first place," That's very true, they will say that they carry one for self defence which is rubbish, for a knife to be effective, you need to be very close up, unless of course you are a trained knife thrower.

"It's a very serious crime in the UK to be carrying a knife". One of the reasons so many people carry knives is because they hardly ever get caught, there are no police on the streets any more, they are too busy in their cosy offices.

I have already paid for my seat as I needed the extra leg room, and I agree with you about the rip off.

No I have a case which will go in the hold, I won't bother with the 30 hours check in now, I just wanted to make things as easy as possible. Thanks.

I want to check in 30 hours before my flight to the UK with KLM. It will be convenient for me to do this, everything is booked including my seats. What exactly is the proceedure? Can I just turn up at check in with my passport, flight details, and suitcase? Is the check in desk open all the time? Thanks.

Elite Visa??

What does TPTB stand for?? You are not texting on your phone you are on a live forum.

That's a good idea. Thanks.

If that is true and I believe it is, it just backs up onemorefarang's many negative posts about him posts about him.

This is not meant to be racist, but in Jazz music, I am not a fan, don't get me wrong, the Jazz Musicians are amongst the best, but at times it is just so boring. but in to Pop music then the best singers are white. Look at Jo Stafford, she could sing anything and was much more versatile and better than any black female singer. Now tell me any better black singers or white for that matter, than Elvis, Roy Orbison or Gene Pitney. Jo Stafford was probably the best female singer ever, I never heard her in her heyday, but have sure heard a lot of her since.

I believe Nicky's is in Soi Buckawo, but SB is a very long road.

Cheap Charlies in Soi Buckawo is good but when I have a breakfast, I enjoy a good cup of tea, but not that yellow label stuff, and I don't like coffee, they have a notice up saying you cannot bring your own food, that is fair enough and I fully understand that.

Only problem is no transport, I mean no Baht busses. I think Siambury's would really well if it was nearer central Pattaya instead of away up in the wilds.

You mean to say you smoke while people are eating???? How selfish is that? I was going to try it, now I know not to bother.

Siambury's? I had a job trying to find it, never saw any signs.

Especially the ones with a "Sir" in front of their name.

I think that this is a good fun topic, it's when bob and GG start a topic you just move on.

Looks like bob and GG have started a trend here on AN.

I have a re entry permit, I was worried because I had never booked online before, always used a travel agency or the planes head office.

What you said is spot on about the organising but I sure hate these booking.com idiots, when I was trying to book a hotel and trying to email them back they would say this email does not exist, even though I was clicking the reply box, this happened at least 6 times.

I did not choose them, I am not sure how they turned up, I looked at so many sites online i am not sure who I booked with now. I have never booked online before, I live up country and in the past I always either booked my UK flights with a Bangkok travel agency or at the head office. I could not be bothered to travel about 300Ks to Bangkok I tend to avoid Bangkok now because the hotels I used never opened back up after the Chinese virus so that's why I booked online. It was actually cheaper than I thought even with the booked seats and checked luggage.
