So a typical Pattaya rendition (or perhaps rending) of a not very good song adopted because it's "easy to play" 😜🤬😀

It reads as if she's trying to get a solution by doing things the "right way". I applaud her for that but sadly that's not how it usually works in Pattaya.

Personally I would prefer that there were NO posts about foreign politics or news. There are plenty of forums for them, this one should stick to being ASEAN NOW. Yes I'm guilty but would happily refrain from such posts if it became the rule.

Which leads to the old question "Did you pack your own case" I pack, lock and strap mine.

It does, but reading the OP about how it was packed, I feel it unlikely that was the case here. (Pardon the pun 😏)

The epitome of "stupid" however you look at it.

Absolutely.... it's not harsh enough for a premeditated crime such as this.

Well we all speak from experience but that's not mine. If it was I'd not be here. Leave it at that....I believe we're not meant to discuss specifics on AN.

So get a telephone, exchange numbers then you can knock off the bar fine, don't buy drinks and take them home It's not difficult. Or just go for freelancers in the first place.

Thanks for the compliment 😊

Never been my experience. But then I'm arrogant enough to be happy in my own skin and at nearly 70 that ain't gonna change! PS and I AM nuts 😛

Sou 6 has been dieing for the last 6 or 7 years. Leave it to the tourists....there are far better places in Pattaya now.

Who the hell cares what people think? Worrying about "society's opinions" is basically a sign of insecurity. As long as all involved are consenting adults, just go your own way. Talking of which, just off to a Gentleman's Club 😆

Thanks.... consideration for next trip as I said 👍(Assuming the prices compare favourably of course)

I'm minded to try Qatar next trip. I need to check if they fly to LGW and if they offer the limousine service. One thing does irritate me with Emirates and that's when I book, all sectors are on the A380 but last year and this, they changed DXB - LGW to the Boeing 777. Still last time I complained and got 10000 air miles compensation. We shall see what happens this time 🤔😯

Will Indeed be interesting. My comparison of TG Vs Emirates was both in biz class on an A380. If you think of it, update this thread please.

I was forced to fly TG in 2020. They've got a LONG way to go to even approach the quality of service offered by Emirates. I'm told the same applies to Qatar.

Back at ya..... Cheers 🍻🍻

Exactly so! We got there at last. Ain't communication grand 😆

Thanks Sheryl.... that's exactly the case👍👍 Mine is travel insurance which I thought I mentioned but maybe not.

I don't....just looked at my trip extension document and THAT PART is clearly stated as an ANNUAL CONTRACT So each year I must renew that part of the policy to cover myself against heart attacks and related ailments. Any new issues are covered as the year rolls on but they may then become existing issues at renewal. Respectfully, whatever anyone else thinks the wording of my policy is what counts. Your understanding may well be true for YOUR policy, I'm certain about mine. Cheers!

Sorry but you're incorrect. The basic policy continues but the covered preexisting conditions are ONLY covered under the extension I mentioned earlier. Mine is for a previous heart attack so without the extension, any future heart problems are not covered. This extension is valid for a year at a time. Does that clarify @richard_smith237 ?

I disagree. I have to notify my insurers about preexisting conditions and then pay an extra premium for an extension that is actually extra cover for said conditions. Whilst the basic policy rolls over annually, this extension is clearly stated as being for 1 year only so I shall need to renew it again next year.

Agree....and check BEFORE travelling preferably.

A cynical or in other words REALISTIC view with which I agree! I use Google wallet or cards in UK when it suits ME but REALLY hope the cash option remains available Cash in Thailand as I only have UK cards. By the way, a little but anyone know if Prompt Pay can be funded from a foreign card?
