  1. I assume you know already, but if you don't, Emirates Thailand is running promotional fares to the USA at the momment. The fares expire April 30.

    Thanks for the fare info. It motivated me to ticket a planned trip for July.

    I'm not sure if the promotion applied to a booking I did Friday from IAD to BKK after reading your post but I got the lowest economy fair ever @ $992 rd trip. At least $125 usd below previous tickets and although it's still flying the cheap seats it felt good to get a cheap price too.

    Thx again

  2. Every destination depends on what you're looking for out of the trip. We've stayed in the Naka Phuket Villa Resort (I think that's the name) in one of 6 or so private beach front villa suites. Very high main entrance and suite security, private lap pool,outdoor bathtub, housekeeping twice a day etc.

    No need to leave if you choose not to so it could've been in a war zone and we'd have enjoyed the stay but that's not for us.

    We rent a motorbike for the week wherever we go and avoid the transportation scams, choose our times to go for local food,shopping and sight seeing.

    We also stay in 900baht per night rooms with barely enough room to turn around in and have a great time together.

    What some drunken cowardly Thai men can do to a 65 year old woman.

    Get well soon ma'am.

    I never comment on threads where someone died,,I think it's distasteful and none of a strangers business. That said fortunately these people lived and your caption is funny as heck to me sitting in the U.S. having a cocktail at the moment. Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.
  4. Harming Thailand's image and jeopardizing tourism holds more weight than the bodily harm to the victims.

    Nothing a little round up of the perpetrators and a few sorries won't resolve,,in the minds of Thai Officialdom.

    I wonder if the rest of the civilized world not under the control and threats of a uniformed group with all of the guns will agree Thailand is still a great place to risk coming.

  5. I fly Emirates IAD via Dubai to BKK and back often. No complaints. Approximately 21.5 hrs over and 23.5 back.

    Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I assume this is the best routing to the East Coast since you do it often?

    Shortest time both ways I've found. Approx. 1.4 hrs in Dubai.

    Other friends have flow the same route with Etihad thru Abu Dhabi.

    It's said UAE airlines are subsidized and may be cheaper than some.
