Is the Qantas lounge open at Suva....?

No and when I had a look inside at the construction earlier this month, there was nothing yet in the way of walls or anything. Looked like they'd just started and no workers in sight. TG had workers busy on their lounges 24 hours a day to get them opened, but BA/QF don't seem to have the same concerns. So it will apparently still be a long time before it is open. They do though have a very large area, so the lounge should be quite spacious when finished.

So which lounge do Qantas clubbers get to use?? any???

I too have never bothered with any additional shot's or treatments specifically for my jaunts through S-E-A.

I've had hep A before (contracted in Australia) it's bloody unpleasant, and worth avoiding at all costs.

I also take care not to let mozzies get into me by using some top shelf repellant, and appropriate clothing for the conditions.

July in Thailand will be awesome with the Aussies heading to Thailand to play their group A opponents, host nation Thailand, Oman, and Iraq.

That's a great link top chinese....

Those first class seats look awesome, even at almost 1400 baht for SIN-KUL.

I hate buses, but that sort of comfort could turn me.

Ah, now I can safely say that you're a

I like the freedom to move about, and the cheap price to do so.

I like most of the people I encounter and the lack of any chip on their shoulder.

i'll take the rain!

Yeah you sure do need it.

At least you haven't run out of excuses for your pathetic team.

You're a credit to your Country.

I just wanted to add my name to the most ground breaking topic of 2006/2549.

As suggested to me by http://www.seat61.com/Malaysia.htm

I booked and paid for a return trip KL to Sin (on line at http://www.ktmb.com.my )

The first leg KUL-SIN was 3rd class, the return leg SIN-KUL was in a sleeper. (of course I never intended to make the first leg of the trip).

By doing this I paid in MYR, which cut the cost in HALF!!!

What typo?

You have magical powers

Amazingly sporting declaration by Punter this arvo.

With two days remaining, the aussies have really asked the question of the poms, "put up or shut up".

Already one wicket down, but only chasing a little over 500 in 2 days, the poms are RIGHT in this.

IMO we should have given them 700 to chase with a day and a half....

This underground aussie desire to see the "ol' blighty" do well, should have been put to bed after RU '03, and Ashes '05.

It's going to be cruel watching the poms capitulate again tomorrow, but it's going to be memorable I'm sure.

(I hate the fact you can't edit the heading to fix a typo)

Perhaps you could suggest where the best thai food in town is served??

You must have been the first bloke in history to re-enter Australia from Thailand with too much lead in his pencil.

too many rules... other than Donz, who else have you "met in person"?

Hi Joe,

There are no shortcuts to Nan. But it is quite easy to get there.

Take 1020 towards Toeng, in Chiang Kian (after maybe 35 km), you take to the right into 1128, sign says "Nan". That is jus before you come to the little tricky road in the mountains.

After maybe 10-12 km that road goes into 1126.

Follow 1026 passing Pha Daet and after around 30 km there is a small road to the right, sign says "Nan".

You come to Chun and there you take 1091 all the way to Nan.

Going back you can go north 1080 and go over Chiang Kham.

Both roads were very good 2-3 years ago.

Nan is a nice place and take your time. I hope to go back in the near future.

Good luck !

Thanks to you all. Having failed to find Nan last time, I will be following svenivan's directions to the letter, even if it could mean extra kms, in the hope that I can at last visit my final Thai frontier.

I can't wait, I've even booked and paid for my room at the City Park Hotel, so failure is NOT an option.

Thanks again

Is he still alive Doesn't look well at all

He's a definate starter for "Weekend at Bernies 2".

Personal preference,

I always take a couple of credit cards (mastercard & visa).

I also like to carry a small wad of US$ (about $600) in 1's, 5's 10's and 20's, for those side trips to Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar etc.

Thai goon may not agree with me, but I think it's good of you to post your encounter to discuss further, and add too.

Hopefully these over zealous, power tripping c/suckers (pseudo customs officers) are the exception rather than the rule.

Typical sore loser aussie. Btw, thought the real urn was going back to it's rightful place in Blighty... well, couldn't leave it with a bunch of bread thieves now could we.

Might be safer for Australia to hang on to the old crockery, given Englands reputation for losing anything and everything...

It'd be such a shame to misplace the urn as well.

did someone say free piss?

I think religion in moderation is good... it serves as a gentle reminder not to be an R's-hole to people unless they come begging for it.

It only applies to under 20's I believe.

Gotta get some of these gems in stock George.

The smug pommy bastards have taught us well when it comes to winning.

It's clear now that not even the dreaded birdflu will stop these chcikens from coming home to roost.

Enjoy your humble pie, warm piss, and shitty climate!

It is a shame , a real shame. But watch out for England in the world cup - we've almost mastered the one day game!

No offence, but you guys suck pus at the one day game me ol' china

You might be good at cricket but Aussies really are bewilderingly idiotically thick when it comes to spotting sarcasm!!

I feel better now!

I hate to miss a chance to sink the slipper into any pommy bastard. Fortunately for me, you are above that.
