  1. "Mr Claus emerged...shouting about his wealth" Bet the thai wife was happy to see the tightfisted German slip up while intoxicated and start talking about his money.
  2. After insisting all this time they don't like Indians the Thai girls seem to have a bit of curry fever.
  3. For ones that fly from Bangkok to JFK or Newark these all pretty much have newish to top of the line business class seats - ANA, Japan Airlines, EVA, Singapore, Etihad, Cathay Pacific. For a couple of these there might be older business class on your connecting flight within Asia but the long flights should be good. Another option is connecting on an Asian carrier then Delta, AA, or United for the longer flight. All the US airlines have newish seats. These should have new or acceptable the majority of the time but not guaranteed Qatar, Emirates, KLM, Air France, Asiana, Finnair, Lufthansa. Here's an example of Emirates being sued for a bait and switch based on their advertising https://businesstravelerusa.com/news/two-passengers-sued-emirates-for-deceptive-advertising-in-new-zealand/ Definitely confirm for these Korean Air Turkish British Airways I'm not aware of an easy way to tell about a particular route since some have schedule changes throughout the year. You could post here, or in a Reddit thread for the particular airline, just provide the dates and flight numbers. Or Google something like (Turkish business class seats review) and limit the search to the last couple of years to get an idea of what is on offer. Calling the airline is probably the worst option since they may be clueless or give you incorrect information.
  4. Most of the airlines mentioned have a fairly modern business class seat but a few routes have old crappy business class seats, hardly worth the money so beware. Here is a random day in April to New York on Turkish. All four flights are the old business class (A330 and 777). I'd only fly it if it were significantly cheaper. Also if something goes wrong their customer service isn't great in my experience. Emirates still flies some old configurations as does Korean Air and maybe others. One of the Korean Air daily flights to New York has the old configuration (the A380).
  5. Social media influencer and internet personality or "geopolitical analyst?" Looks like spidermike puts more faith in the latter. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/13/technology/china-propaganda-youtube-influencers.html
  6. On behalf of the entire Manila population, we thank you for your service.
  7. Looks like Thailand will need to double down on attracting more Indian visitors to make up for the missing Chinese. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
  8. This helps explain the Boomers with fat pensions/401ks, healthy SS payments and paid off houses and cars caught up in the "The economy is doing great!" echo chamber being surprised Trump won.
  9. OP is late to the party. This shift started almost a decade ago. https://www.theodysseyonline.com/tattoos-arent-cool-anymore
  10. I think you caused them to lose face asking them tax questions they had no answer for. Then they retaliated by questioning your disability.
  11. Break one finger at a time until they give up the passwords.
  12. Flew in their old garbage A330 business class from Hong Kong to ICN on Monday so they are still using older planes on "premium" routes. Flew their 787-10 ICN to Taipei yesterday, much better experience.
  13. The keyboard warriors are about to get a dose of reality.
  14. Must be a psycho or addict. Otherwise at age 23 and hot how do you mess up your life so badly. She should have multiple sponsors on speed dial.
  15. A student with easy access to 1.5 million baht. Maybe she's a hiso that showed off on social media leading to her being targeted.
  16. You missed the other two. Rushdie will soon "see" justice and the accused will be "looking" at years in jail.
  17. It should be obvious to anyone with eyes that Rushdie will soon see justice and the accused will be looking at many years in jail.
