Keeps

Because he made the story up. So the imaginary person was going to whatever place the OP chose.

Silver (Eva Rewards) gets you in if you have a premium economy ticket. If you are using your Star Alliance general status then, yes, Gold level required. https://www.evaair.com/en-global/infinity-mileagelands/about-infinity-mileagelands/tiers-and-privileges/membership-benefit/silver-card/

One other thing, not lounge related. Have you booked your seat yet? Usual layout is 2-4-2. If you go for a middle row aisle seat (D for sure & I think G) around rows 22/23/24 it is often my experience that I get the seat next to me free. It is a fixed armrest/drinks 'table' between seats so you can't sprawl out but it's still nice to have that extra personal space. If it is not a busy flight in Premium Economy it is also usual for the front row (20) seats not to be allocated. You can ask at check-in (I automatically get 20A if it hasn't already been allocated due to Gold Card) and you might get lucky.

Pretty sure you can't. Are you a member of any of the Star Alliance partners? Would probably need to be silver or above. That would get you in. https://www.staralliance.com/en/members

Concur with above replies. Need to be minimum of silver card Eva/Star Alliance or holding a Royal Laurel class ticket to gain lounge access. Pity, because the BKK Eva Lounge is excellent.

Where did he moan about adding any cost to the meter? He moaned about them doing it on his time, not his dime. If it's a long journey then it might be necessary to fill up or take a wazz. If it's not, they should do it in their own time and not during a fare.

Or he was imbibing too much of his own product....

I agree there is a huge difference between CM Larb and Isaan larb. My other half is from Fang and makes/eats the CM version with liberal use of offal (mainly liver), garlic, black peppercorns (which I assume is the Makwen) and fresh pigs blood. I much prefer the Isaan style made with minced pork and no offal added for my own personal taste. I was served it in Isaan once at a family gathering where it was made with raw beef and blood - no cooking whatsoever. I tried it out of politeness and made all the correct noises but can't say that I enjoyed it or would like to try it again.

I was under the impression that Larb and Nam Tok are basically the same dish other than how the meat has been prepared. Larb has minced meat, Nam Tok has the meat sliced into bite size pieces. There is no difference in the other ingredients/spicing. Can't really see the point in eating the two together unless different meats are used for the two dishes (I know Nam Tok is often made with beef but not always. That would be Neua Yang Nam Tok).

With one of these:- https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThNgExp6_H6SP6qOs9_lMCTGtXPiM86Mb56Q&s https://www.morphyrichards.co.uk/products/mico-microwave-toastie-maker?srsltid=AfmBOopz-_bsLXqp71ooAnws0Bb9InHLcxnks-FuPA2qRTIk-oCfMOn3 Got mine in the UK from Morphy Richards but have similar products on Amazon. I would have thought Lazada would have something similar also. Works perfectly.

I see that you are one of the minority of Aussies who want to become a republic rather than remain a monarchy.

Well that's about as clear as mud. Anyone else none the wiser after reading the article?

Not a Man City fan (Spurs unfortunately....) but collected just over £300 on them this evening. Thought they were due to give someone a spanking so backed them minus 1 goal, minus 2 and minus 3. Never in doubt and the winnings will pay for a few nights out when I travel back to Thailand in a couple of weeks.

20 baht a day on water isn't going to break the bank and a pad gaprao moo is twelve quid in the UK so your point is?

The other side of that coin is that cheating Brits don't have to be around a complete prick.

I know you are an Aussie, you know you are an Aussie, most posters on this forum know you are an Aussie. So why do you persist with this nonsense?

I have just read a brief article which advised that after 5th April 2025 you will only be able to top up gaps in your NI contribution records for six previous tax years, rather than going back to 2006, as you can currently. Need to get in quick if you plan on making top ups under the current rules.

Who, Aussies? This is about a Brit, not one of yours.....

Not for me. Her knee looks like an old man's face and that is a big no-no for me......

He is so deluded he actually thinks people are going to be upset and view this as some sort of punishment 😂.

One instance when the plastic bag over the head might have been appropriate.

I know that but the OP I was responding to didn't. Hence my post.

Should do good business from the 'munchies brigade' with that Weed shop right next door.

Ha Ha. I actually responded with a suggestion for Fish and Chips and still made it on to the OP's Ignore list! Hate to think what he would do to those discussing Indian food and German buffets......

Wow. Responding to a topic 11 months later and still trying to 'shoe in' an anti Brit comment. Not sure if you are bored, sad or both.
