Very good. I subscribed

That is shocking news. RIP to the poor woman

Stereotypical for the breed.

Agree. My brother had one and it attacked our Mom. Bir her on her arm and wouldn't let go

You MUST have a visa of some kind or you may not even get ON the aircraft, the requirement for onward travel if wanting a 30 day visa exemption is well documented and the airlines don't want to be penalised for carrying you if you are not permitted entry.

That said, immigration rarely (never) check for onward tickets, they rely on the airlines to do that for them.

Got a visa? No issues

Good to know. Thanks

Just think how much easier to shut down 1 airport rather than 2

Anyone have any photos they can post? Do they have a website listing all the stores?

I really hope they do something about safety but I doubt they will. Ever notice the "SAFETY FIRST" banners hanging by the exposed wires at head level in BKK?

Bangkok city traffic paralyzed

TNA/MCOT reports that traffic in the area is paralyzed. The PAD will march to Emporium on Sukhumvit Road.

What else is new? Isn't that par for the course?

Thaksin was scheduled to depart for China today in preparation of the Olympics. I wonder if that'll change.

spoke to a former minister yesterday. His view is Thaksin has been granted leave for 30 days on the pre-arranged agreement that he won't come back.

Lets see if this is true.

You beat me too it.

Thaksin and family depart for China ostensibly to watch the Olympics. They just forget to return.

He didn't buy a rather expensive house in HK recently for nothing.

Why did they bother to come back in the 1st place?

I'll tell you one airline I will never fly again. Thai Air Asia.

Offered an internet rate of $25.00 from BKK to Saigon and return. Too good to be true? Yes. With all there surcharges the ticket cost $200.00.

Charged me $164.00 overweight baggage fee from Saigon to BKK. I could have bought the luggage a seat at that price.

Doom/gloom is the trend these days, take the optimistic approach and half the battle is won.

I'm optimistic. If tourism suffers, more discounts will come our way.

That makes too much sense. TIT.

Just flew in June from LAX-TPE-BKK and return on EVA and every flight was full.

the security at BTS and siam paragon is horrible though, when they check your bags they simply ask "do you have a bomb inside?" and when i said "yes" to see what would happen, they simply laughed and let me pass inside.

After a bombing at a Marriott i Jakratta, I believe, everyone was put metall detector at the entrance. Half the time it wastn't even on
