These buses have never been seen on Thonglor. Instead we still have those 30/40 year old black smoke belching red minibuses. Shame.

Was just wondering what happened to them the other day so searched out this old article.

Surely rules are meant to be broken. I agree with CharlieH. Throw them a few life jackets then sink the boat. If the illegals knew this was a great possibility, they would be less inclined to set out from a safe country. One small problem. It would take guts for a PM to do it, and 2 Tier Keir does not have the guts of a squashed frog. 

Yeah, the PM doesn't have the guts to order the navy to commit to mass murder of innocent people in contravention of international law. What a coward!

Strange, I came from Doha to BKK in Q suite only 3 weeks ago.

Yeah, it was a couple of years ago I last tried looking.

Do your homework, they tell you when selecting flights which have and which dont. For example I had an extra hour in the lounge at Qatar so the flight I took to BKK did have Q Suite.

Yes, I know. And when I have done my homework there were no flights between Doha and BKK with Q Suites, I would only have had it from LHR to Doha. So I went with Emirates.

As with regards to predictability, I've always had what it says on the tin when selecting flights, Q Suite.

That's good. Not everyone has been so lucky though.

It is a matter of proven fact that many so called "conspiracy theories" later turn out to be true. Of course, labelling inconvenient truths a "conspiracy theory" is a tactic commonly used by gaslighting leftists, especially when someone calls out their political lawfare.

Eh?? Because a handful of "conspiracy theories" ended up being true that means you can dream up any old nonsense and it's ok?

What about the millions of conspiracy theories that ended up just being conspiracy theories?

Qatar is the only middle eastern carrier I haven't tried business class and it is precisely for the reasons mentioned: unpredictable. Many of their flights to Bangkok don't have Q Suites and, as others have mentioned, you definitely don't get it from Nice.

I have friends who have been in Q Suites and they all rave about it but I'm not risking paying that money and potentially not getting what I expected. With Emirates you know what you are getting and it is extremely consistent as long as you make sure you are on the A380. Do not risk a 777 until their entire fleet is retrofitted as they still have 2-3-2 which is tragic.

If you do go Emirates make sure you book an "A" or a "K" seat as these have the most privacy and space.

Yes , your correct I don’t have the answers at hand. Top marks.

 

Now the uk has been run by total idiots for the last 27 years  ( I left 26 years ago )

It all started to go wrong when Tony Blair got in. ( WMD ) maybe he should be in jail for that one.

Let alone the new Labor slogan, Fair Blair and all that. What a joke. ( did you vote for him, I wonder )

 

I think Blair is a war criminal.  I had already left the UK by the time he got in.

Now is the time for change, and Reform will be that very long overdue change that’s needed.

Now you can go on voting for Labor or Conservative if you want,  or  any others, it’s your choice.

And would never take away choice or free speech from anyone, unlike some posters on this forum would like to.

 

Change is badly needed. We just got it. Time will tell but I think we have the change we need, they need to be given a chance. Seems most of the right on this forum don't think they should have any time at all (they didn't stop the boats in their first week etc) which is just ludicrous.

But the True definition of stupid.

Is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.

Carry on now.

Yes. And that's why Labour got voted in.

I would argue the true definition of stupid is putting your hopes on a hypocritical grifting liar that has no interest in me, you or the country.

Are you confusing Farage with Starmer here?  

No.

 

Quote

Why do you think people labelled him "Free gear Keir"?  

Because they are children and think it's funny?

He shouldn't have accepted those gifts, it was a bad error of judgement and I think he has learned from it (hopefully). However he hasn't gifted billions of pounds of PPE contracts to his friends (friends who has never produced an item of PPE in their lives), he hasn't partied with his mates whilst telling people they can't attend loved ones funerals or meet people under any circumstances, he hasn't trashed the NHS whilst blaming immigrants etc etc.

Anyway we were discussing Farage weren't we? The lowest attendance record of any MEP ever whilst taking their money and maximising his expenses. One of the lowest attendance records of an MP since the election (I think he has turned up ten times in over four months, probably just to file his expenses), he has spent next to no time in his own constituency or even his own country. He is a grifter. Why is he hero worshipped by the gullible when he has proven beyond any doubt that he is only in it for himself?

These were the questions I asked that led to you asking me if I am confusing him with Keir Starmer.

Since he was elected how many days has he spent in his constituency? 

Since he was elected how many days has he spent in the UK?

Since being elected what stands has he taken in parliament? Has he been there?

Since this could easily be confused with Starmer you must know the answers? I assume Starmer's parliamentary record is as pathetic as Farage's then? I assume Starmer has been gallivanting around the US brown nosing Trump and ignoring his own constituents too?

You do know that Thailand immigration has been using facial recognition for some years now. Why do you think they take your photograph. They also collect your fingerprints.  

Nothing will happen if the system "breaks" down. What do they do now  when the data system is disrupted at immigration?

If there is a data system disruption at the gate, the Gate agents will verify passengers themselves by doing what they do now. You will still be issued a  boarding pass.  Most passengers opt for the electronic boarding passes. However, you will still be able to print a BP at your home or at an airport kiosk. R-e-l-a-x.  It will be alright.

So many chicken littles on this forum, it is hilarious. I think most of them are too scared to get out of bed in the morning in case the sky falls in on their heads.

We made it to Samet and did stay at the SK Beach Resort for a few days and very pleasant it was too, so thank you and others for the positive recommendation. We couldn't fault the hotel, location or the service, plus the beach was wonderful with powdery white sand. The dedicated pier, ferry and transport all ran very smoothly, an effortless ending to the 12 hours drive to get there from Chiang Mai. We had a bungalow that was very pleasant and only a short walk to a park like area that faces onto the water, all very tranquil and quiet. Lots of European guests, all fighting (literally) for beach chairs at 7am so we decided to give that a miss and hung out instead at the Exec club pool just a stones throw away. As you wrote quite appropriately, they do what they do very well. We took a truck/taxi over to the Ao Prao Resort which was pleasant enough but a little too remote for us.

 

After a short respite to take care of business we're continuing our island hopping with stays on Koh Chang and Koh Kood, both of which we know fairly well. And since I am now very firmly in vacation mode, I will catch up with the forum at some point in the distant future. Cheers.

 

Always nice and appreciated when people report back, thank you. Glad you had a good trip!

You lot can say what you like about Farage.

But Reform  will be be running the uk in a 4 years time.

And I hope Farage is still the leader.

Get used to it. 

 

Ok, so you don't know the answer to any of those questions, and more concerning - you don't care. Just buy in to the grifter without knowing what he does (absolutely nothing). Got it. No wonder he gets so many donations (which is all he lives for), people like you are a gift.

by not voicing opinions  about various subjects ?

you know eventually they will come for you too ? (probably not)

but it will be too late as they will have locked everyone else up !!!

He didn't get locked up for voicing opinions though did he? Are you really gullible enough to believe that? He got locked up for multiple counts of contempt of court. Let's not forget that the "Muslim grooming gang" trial nearly collapsed because of his grandstanding and they could have gone free. But you probably believe he was the hero.

Did you donate yet?

They are not coming for me because I'm not a racist and I don't incite racists. He does. He is locked up. Oh dear. Poor Tommy. He's a tough man though so I am sure he'll be ok.  Just donate to make sure.

His about the only one that cares about the uk.

and not about himself.

 

Excellent, we have a believer!!

Since he was elected how many days has he spent in his constituency? 

Since he was elected how many days has he spent in the UK?

He loves you, loves the UK, he just can't be bothered with it (like when he was a MEP - take the money, do nothing).

Since being elected what stands has he taken in parliament? Has he been there?

He cares about you and the UK, so tell us what he has done since being elected - there must be something?

You're in fine company on mine, too. Run from the truth.   Bye bye

Talking of truth, you have ignored absolutely every single request to give any information on your pilot qualifications or experience.

You are clearly a fantasist. No commercial pilot has your terrible arrogance and attitude. Pretty sure they don't buy frozen 153 baht rubber steaks either but that's another story.

Rosemary is great with Lamb, and great with garlic and ghee to fry chips, but steak , not for me , a bit of salt and ground pepper or skip the salt and use soy sauce, let it marinate and cook at room temp, not to long as will end up tough.

Pink in the middle is good for me or even rarer is great but well done ,NO.

Agree on the rosemary. I do like to throw a bit of thyme in when cooking steak though.

If we have to learn how to do cooking from the Brittsish, we are far away from home as they cannot cook. The worst country to eat delicious is Englend or you have to eat in a foreign restaurant. Only the breakfast is very good.

Well done for a 1960's cliche.

Have you ever heard the phrase "you get what you paid for"? Well you paid for a 153 baht "steak" and it looks like it. Sorry, it looks absolutely dreadful.
