Spent the last couple of weeks at Lamai Beach. They have lost a few of the main bars like The Shamrock but are slowly getting replaced. Another music venue close by now. Plenty of restaurants open. 

Shame that it still seems be be plagued by dogs roaming the beach and streets. They seem non-plussed on the beach but not so on the streets at night. A few of them were very aggressive towards anything that went passed them last night. Rather unpleasant. 
 

Aside from that, still a fun place to visit. 

Sometimes in life when you are not happy you just have to suck it up and move on. You can’t beat the system. I bet he wished he had done that now.

A daft one !

Well my planned Samui holiday in November doesn’t look like much fun....

I have been to the one in Lamai before and it was on a Sunday

I used to get a bug for a day so I now always have Thai food spicy. If it's not I add chilli. No idea if that works but I have been ok for the last 6 or so visits.

There are specialist freight forwarders who offer this type of service. They will also know all the documentation requirements.

I'm flying LHR-BKK this Thursday on EVA. Have flown both loads of times.. Never flown economy on EVA, only premium and the old business, but I always found them ok. The food is always a disappointment though. Will be flying their new business cabin to BKK and premium economy back.

If Thai were to install premium economy and use their new business cabin on the route and have prices that matched EVA, I would probably choose Thai. Not much in it though.

As a matter of interest, where did you book your ticket ? I can't see an option on the EVA website to mix cabins going out/back. Cheers

Flown both, EVA for me.

You say it's not about the money so I would say just put it down to experience,

Did you have any checked baggage?

I found the cabin crew to be not very friendly but quite efficient. That works for me.

I went with them in business last month. It was £1400, much cheaper than anyone else. Going out was non flat but it was coming back.

If it's only 290 to upgrade I would def do it.

It was all good.

Oh and the seats are 90's style cradle....hahahaha

I can live with the sloping flat seats if it means keeping the price down. I was very disappointed when EVA ditched them and put up their prices. Happily, I got a mixed business/PE ticket for January for £1400 on EVA. If Thai did PE I would consider them for a good price.

That's a good idea. I just came back from BKK and paid £1400 for return biz on Finnair. Going is ok, just seems forever stopping off in HEL.

Has this poor chap been named yet ? Not seen anything in the media.

I just think it's so easy to criticise. So many people are scammed in many devious and clever ways. Sure he probably should of seen it coming but like so many before him he didn't.

I was walking around some bars in Koh Samui last night. There are so many very pretty and sexy girls around and I guess it's so easy to fall for them. They have what you want and vice a versa. I am too battle hardened to fall for them now but more often than not still end up with a bar bill far in excess of what I was expecting.

As said Qatar business class is one of the best out there.....as to the Iphone all I can say is shove your head in a bucket of ice cold water.

There....that's better isn't it....I just saved you several hundred quid....now don't make a habit of it!

I was hoping this would be a post with no snide remarks....hopefully one day TV will have a post with out the trolls....one day

There is always one troll on every thread.

You can't go wrong with QR business or an iPhone mate. Enjoy

You could also try Finnair. I got a great price from LHR to BKK via HEL. Not sure about prices the other way though. Their aircraft have all been upgraded.

Think they need to rebrand under a slightly different name and definitely a new two letter code. MH is sadly now synonymous with tragedy.

I went with AY in Business last year. Had no problems.

I first saw the flights one of the travel sites and got an email direct from AY.

Here's a link. https://www.finnair.com/GB/GB/offers

They currently have a sale for both economy and business. Great price for business.

Well you can tell who the smokers are on this thread. Their desperation to defend the captains actions are laughable.

Can't believe that anyone would defend a Captain who flouts aviation regulations.

Its not like hes flying under telegraph poles. Hes having a sneaky cig on a low cost airline.

Thats if the poster is to be beleived. The man next to him may have had his smoking jacket on.

Let him have a glass of wine with his lunch as well. No problem at all.
