Is Elon Musk right to ditch the Twitter logo?
scorecard replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Plus the X logo doesn't stand out, doesn't present as an individual/stand alone identifier, The blue bird did. Strange man. -
My worst experience with TG was flying Business class with my 18 year old son Bkk to Jakarta evening flight. 30 minutes after evening meal all finished and all packed away my son politely quietly asked the hostess for a glass of Coka Cola. Her response: didn't stop walking, just yellled back at him "Go and ask in Economy class". No apology or concern by anybody on board or 2 days later at their office at a meeting. My company did around 30 to 50 regional flights a month with TG. I told my staff to cancel the travel contract we had with TG and take a contract with Singapore Airlines. Never any reaction from TG.

"Then a new group of Senators comes in, which will appointed by a more grassroots process." Interesting. Where did that statement come from? Link? -

Seems to me that musk is a nightmare and we ain't seen the end of his silly illogical acts/comments. As said the bird brand logo had enoumouse brand value, why touch it. -

Rejection of Pita’s renomination as PM ‘unconstitutional’ : Ombudsman
scorecard replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I believe they do, it's all about the glory of the military, very powerful stuff. However if some of their responsibilities/their powers, e.g, voting for PM were stopped that would be very valuable to get back to some sembance of democracy and respect for the votes of all citizens. -

I've arranged an informal cheap lunch with an also retired friend. I guess it's allowed for that to proceed? -
US flying is a bit different. I recall boarding a domestic flight in Houston to fly to xxx (forget). I was one of the first to board however the flight attendants were already yelling at the passengers, including aggressively yelling "You have to do as you are instructed by the cabin crew." The reality was that boarding was all happening calmly, quickly and the passengers all cooperating with each other, correctly putting bags into the overhead lockers etc., and cooperating with the crew. But they should have had an air marshall at the check-in desk, the mid aged check-in lady was without any reason very abusive, even insulting to all the folks checking-in and getting boarding passes.

Rejection of Pita’s renomination as PM ‘unconstitutional’ : Ombudsman
scorecard replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Agree. In fact it seems to me that the opposition should be going all out / using every activity / legal avenue possible to create total havoc aimed at getting the constitution changed. Sure, very very difficult but it must be tacked in every possible way to create enough 'fire' to force some action to adjust the constitution. It must be possible. From my understanding of the law it's ILLEGAL to create laws, in any country, which cannot be challenged / changed. -
European/US lead construction companies in Thailand
scorecard replied to DrukenMallardy's topic in DIY Forum
Perhaps call several European embassies and ask how to cntact their locl chamber of commerce etc. Some embassies (not all) are very focused on this subject/activity because it might bring business/big business for the home companies. I've heard before that the German embassy / Chamber of Commerce is very active and very focused on this subject. Other countries not interested, waste of a phone call. -
Exorbitant payment processing fees for AirAsia flights
scorecard replied to omnipresent's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Plus one time I made a booking from DM to CM including a lighweight folding wheel chair in the check-in baggage, and of course there's a charge, which I paid to complete the booking. On arrival at DM the check-in staff asked me to take my wheel chair to another floor and send it by one of the courier services. I refused. Then I asked for the airline owned wheelchair to be brought to check-in to take me to security check and to the aircraft door. They refused "We don't have a service like that, you have to walk." One junior boy said can you ask another passenger who has a cabin size wheeled suitcase if you can sit on the wheeled suitcase. At this stage an AA supervisor appeared and asked "What's the problem". I started to tell her only to be interupted by the girl sittting behind the check-in desk "Customers cannot talk to the supervisor." I ignored that and talked over the top of the check-in girl, supervisor came closer to me and we had an intelligent focused discussion. Supervisor then berated all the check-in staff and supervisor called someone. Within 2 minutes a boy came running with an AA wheelchair. Supervisor then assigned one of the boys behind the counter to take care of me through security and to the departure gate, and she instructed him to stay with me until a few seconds before I boarded the aircraft. Then she told the boy, "A few seconds before boarding call me and then give your phone to the customer so that the customer can confirm that you stayed with him until just before the aircraft door. She then tore strips off the check-in supvr. on duty. On the other hand I flew AA CM to Kuala Lumphur and on to Sydney, with checked-in wheelchair. The service was excellent, 5 star at CM for check-in, on arrival at KL and being taken to their loungeand back to the aircraft, on the aircraft, and on arrival in Sydney. Every step focused, polite, full care. I wouldn't expect anything more from a full service airline. Well done AA.
