Not necessarily. It was only ten years ago that that Thai teenage girl lost her legs after falling on to the tracks on the MRT. And Singapore denied her any compensation as she "fell of her own accord". There were no platform barriers.

Guaranteed at least one person will make a comment of this kind in any high speed rail thread. Yawn.

Pathetic.

More AN paranoia. Who is blaming it on "us"? Please do tell. As far as I can tell she has gone to police to file a complaint against her abuser, nothing more, nothing less. That massive chip on your shoulder must really weigh you down.

Why do you think every train will stop at every station? It makes perfect sense to have stations along the way just like in any other country with high speed rail - it doesn't mean every train will stop at every one.

Oh wow, that's crazy!

That's because Emirates has other flights earlier in the evening so check in is open. If you're on an airline that has one or two flights a day then they will only open the check in counters three hours before. If you are flying Thai you can check in as early as you like as the check in counters are always open.

They have them on departure too.

I've been in one 7-Eleven today and they weren't selling. Went to the next one up the road and they were. Also the supermarkets are selling today. It is supposed to be only tomorrow that has the ban.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Yep, yellow line is not complete as the OP claims. A lot of it is but not all of it, around me they are still finishing Hua Mark station and that looks three months away. So whilst you may see stations near you looking complete it doesn't mean the entire line is finished. I can't wait for it to be opened and applaud the extensive investment in electric commuter lines throughout the city. I just think it is criminal that there is no common ticketing system.

I came through yesterday afternoon. The airport was packed with many arriving flights coming out of the gates as I trudged along from gate F6. First immigration was busy but moving and showing an 11 minute wait. The sign said the other one was 8 minutes. I had Fast Track access so was through in two minutes. A few minutes later the carousel started moving and I had my bag within 10 minutes. From exiting the plane to exiting a busy airport was under 30 minutes. The taxi queue was busy though and I had a 20 minute wait for a "short ride" taxi. Those horrendous immigration queues are very rare and generally caused by several delayed planes arriving at once. Never experienced it in hundreds of entries. They definitely need to do better on the taxi front though.

You are correct. Thai females refer to themselves as Nhoo all the time, it is very common indeed.

What are you on about? It's just a news report about a young Thai doing well at an unusual sport, that's it. "Thailand" is not claiming to have helped her do this. With any report of a successful Thai (especially female) there is always at least one bitter poster who will look for reasons why it shouldn't be celebrated, usually by questioning their Thainess. You are the guy in this thread, congratulations.

So news reports should just be about normal people not achieving anything? Or should it be about notable success stories? What a weird comment, especially your last one about her not living in Thailand.

For Suvarabhumi it has been approved and done. Satellite concourse approved a few years ago and finished a year or more ago adding 28 new gates. Not opened yet due to Covid but will open this year - connected to the main terminal by Automated People Carriers. The third runway approved a few years ago and nearing completion.

So there aren't tons of tourists then? Wow, you speak the truth! And all the tourists packing the BTS are fake. I flew out of BKK yesterday and the airport was rammed. Obviously I imagined that and it was fake. What is wrong with people like you?

What a ridiculous comment. Big cities are not to everyone's taste but Bangkok is an incredible world city and I have loved every one of the 28 years I've lived in it. To say it is nothing but a crowded polluted filthy city is really over the top.

Interesting that you've never been, have no intention of ever going, don't even know where it is, but you know there are better places to go. How can you live in a place for 34 years and be that ignorant of it? I'm not a massive fan of KSR, rarely go there, but I've had some good nights out down there in the past. I can't believe anyone can live here that long and have no idea where it is.

Wow, that was hard to read.

I haven't flown EVA for several years so can't comment. I fly Thai often but only on regional flights and have no complaints - often I am on new A350 or B787 aircraft and service is good, aircraft are good. I wouldn't fly Thai long haul.

I always go Emirates. You can choose the shortest connection - 1 hr 15 minutes or so - which is stressful but there is normally another option with a 2-2.5 hr connection so I always take that. I've done the short one when we've been delayed and it is no fun to run between flights especially with kids. The extra time is worth it.

Thanks George, I really appreciate such a fast response! This is on a Macbook Pro, iOS Big Sur 11.4.

First of all we all appreciate what we get for free and advertising is necessary - no arguments there. But this site now has more advertising than any other site I have ever come across, to the point that I am probably going to leave - just as many have done already. Seriously when you get an ad on top of an ad and you can't close them what is the enjoyment of the site? This is too much. And I have clicked so many times that I don't want the newsletter so why does it still ask me? No way to close an ad because it is being covered by another ad, it is really bad. I literally have nowhere to click to remove the newsletter thing - it is appalling. <removed by Moderator>

So no answer then, as usual. Thanks.
