I have used Agoda numerous times never had any problems but if possible I always try to check the Hotel websites for their prices first as on many occasions I have noticed quite a variance from What Agoda is quoting as the hotels price and what Agoda are charging as their "Discount rate" one example I can think of was for a hotel in Bali which Agoda was claiming a price of somewhere in the region of $200 a night for a deluxe room with their price being $150 a night as a flash deal price but the hotels website was returning a price of only $50 per night for the period I was looking for ,so my advise is to do a little research before jumping into booking with Agoda !

But there is still massive race issues / segregation and tension between the white SA's, blacks & coloureds so one may ask, what did he actually achieve....
Was it worth 27 years in prison, many would think not.
To answer your question he achieved what he set out to do and that was to remove the aprtheid regime and replace it with Majority rule ! Yes there are still problems in South africa but like anycountry that has had an opressive regime things wont change overnight but I am sure things have progressed since he achieved his goal and will continue to do so and I also think Madiba himself would have said that yes it was worth spending those 27 yrs in prison to ultimately succeed .
The world is going to be a poorer place for his passing and he deserves our respect and thoughts at this time R.I P Nelson Mandela Sleep well and may you be at peace as you look down on your countrymen at this sad time !

THAI SMILE FARES 'RE TOO HIGH, MUCH HIGHER THAN SRI LANKAN AIRLINES, PHILIPPINES AIRLINES... WHILE SERVICES 'RE VERY BASIC,AT LEAST NO WIFI,NO INTERNET IN CABIN, NO EXTRA LUGGAGE...THAI SMILE COLOMBO AND CHONGQING SERVICES 'RE RATHER POOR, NOT AS FINE AS AIRASIA...
THAI SMILE ONLINE BOOKING SYSTEM'S TOO CORNY AND SLOW,BASICALLY USING SAME ONLINE SYSTEM AS THAI AIRWAYS.
Please dont shout we arent deaf !

A man reportedly hanged himself to death in his home after his girlfriend refused to celebrate Loy Krathong festival with him..
Is there any other outcome of hanging oneself ?

The purpose of the post was to enquire about pleasant experiences not to start a chain about the dangers of cigarettes but then that is the nature of reformed smokers - only too quick to let everybody know what outstanding human beings they are because they have managed to quit.
I quite agree with what you said ! Now I've got that off my chest I'm going to roll myself a smoke and go enjoy it

Take a trip to Bali they are readily available over there in fact most of the ones I have seen on sale in Aussie souvenir shops have been made in Bali and havent been in any way fabricated by memebers of the indigenous peoples of Australia !
While my post didnt give the OP a pointer to where to buy a Didge in Phuket I have to object to being called an Arse for what I thought was a completely valid suggestion which i didnt mean in a frivolous or p*ss taking way now as far as I'm concerned he can take whatever he decides to use and shove it up his own Arse and go whistle a merry tune he wont get any more help from me !

"Most European countries reflect the lowest numbers. Why is that?"
Stricter driver training/education and a much more tougher testing regime before handing out a Full licence ? Thats my theory anyway !

I've got a mate growing a Jokhla (Ghost) Chilli plant at the moment not sure if I will be brave enough to actually nibble on a piece when ready though !

I guess, all of you ranting against Coke of course life a totally healthy life-style.
No alcohol (noooooo...only vicious rumors state, that alcohol may not be good for you...), no cigarettes, jogging every morning...
I drink ,I smoke but oil beef hooked if I will let Coca Cola / Pepsi or any other carbonated soft drink crap near my lips or digestive system !

Personally if I booked a flight for myself and wife and kids I would expect to be able to sit with them on the flight and not be seperated on the whim of some office lackey who decides where you can sit so I think the OP is quite right to protest and expect to be seated with his family !

cheap grocery shopping doesn't exist here. the 2 places you went to are as cheap as it gets.
Really? Wow, I guess local Thai people just live on rice, noodles and vegetables.
I was surprised the US is much cheaper for similar products.
Yeah but Thailand isn't the USA so therefore products like potato chips and other western snack foods are going to be more expensive than the U S ! and a lot of those products dont feature in the Thai diet !

What was your routing? Carrier? Locks do get removed by security - departing the U.S. that would be CPB. Best to not even use them. Or they get snapped off in normal handling. You can probably request a male pat down if you are uncomfortable with a female. Here in Asia it is not unusual to have women doing this. UA does a secondary at the gate, here ex-BKK, with mostly female security personnel.
was coming from Rome, not uncomfortable with the pat down at all just surprised.
I guess having the locks on the bag looked suspicious.
I will add it's an awesome airport, I travel a great deal around the world and it's a fine Airport in my opinion, far better then Rome's disgraceful excuse for an Airport.
Why should having locks on your suitcase look suspicious ??? whenever I travel I always make sure that my luggage is locked and the key is in my pocket so that I can open it for inspection at my destination if asked to !

In my opinion the police should have shot those 2 bastards in the head thereby saving the cost of a trial and the cost of keeping them in prison for however may years at the taxpayers expense and also sit would stop them from spreading their vitriol any further .
RIP to the slain young man and condolences to his family friends and fellow squaddies !
And to the british Government Man up and sort out the nonsense that gives radical idiots more rights than the british people !

This subject is definitely worthy of a mass debate by the International society of Onanists Thailand Branch !

while we are on the topic of healthy food I saw a recent episode of an american medical seris on TV here in Aus that asked the question how big a serve of veggies would you need to equal the amount of calories in a Big Mac Large Fries and a 32oz cup of Coke ??? the answer came as a total surprise to me when they answered the question by bringing out a large supermarket shopping trolley completely filled up with veggies an amount that I reckon most people would take at least 6 months to consume if eaten every day as their main meal with nothing else with them !

In my childhood the only sort of gun available was either a cap gun or one of those plastic space ray guns that made sparks when you pulled the trigger infinitely safer and a lot less deadly I dont recall ever killing anyone with either !
