 2000 bht =$64

I don't mean to sound condescending and every litle bit helps, but any tourist who would make a vacation decision on $64 usd savings........

when some morons will travel on a poor low cost airline to save $10 on a flight ticket, the answer is yes. people are that stupid and gullible.

If you don't believe me, then quit ???? Then work for 10 hours and 6 days or so - the normal job. I was skeptical indeed. But yes, payout for sure after one month.

Of course and I believe in fairies, goblins and  money trees.

How can it be a pyramid scheme if you’re not investing any money? Do you not understand what a pyramid scheme is?

yes and this is the start of one.  Hopefully no naive individuals will be fooled.

OK next, golf and darts. Are they competitive sports? If I played golf against Seve Ballasteros......? No contest.

my goodness, bottom of the barrel for boringness.  Add snooker and lawn bowls and you have the lot. No wonder people turn to drink. 

Never, I prefer my dentists to know what they are doing.  Went to Phuket hospital dental centre 15 years ago for a filing, never again, and that is a teaching hospital.  They were butchers not dentists and she was female too. Many haven't got a clue, past how to whiten teeth and then rip you off .

More boring than Test Cricket (4 or 5 days with play interrupted by lunch & tea), American 'Football', 1 hour of play and three hours talking about what they are going to do, Baseball....schoolgirls in UK call it Rounders, Marathon running, cycle racing, even F1 Grand Prix all more 'boring' than 90 minutes almost non-stop play.

Test cricket, 5 days of tension and supreme tactics. The fact that women and Americans don't understand it is a bonus.  American Football, the sport of real men and a chess match on turf.  F1, a good way to get to sleep during the day.  The rest I agree, boring in the extreme. Now MOTO GP, there is a sport for Kings.

I don't set a ration, but only drink 6 to 12 large Leos each day. I enjoy drinking beer, and space them out during the day, with the last 4 to 6 in the evening. Put the car in to get cleaned, and drink 2 or 3 with a light meal while waiting. This type of thing.

I still work 3 months each year, so not having to skimp on recreation. 

If I die early, I will have loved every minute. Bottoms up. 58yo now.

I hope for your sake that you're joking.

You would not lose your Thai nationality.

There is nothing in the Nationality Act that states dual nationalities are prohibited.

Ubon Joe, I never want to contradict what you say as your knowledge is far greater than mine, but my UK based friend's Brit/Thai son was forced to renounce his Thai citizenship when he was chosen for military service in the lottery and refused to join. They immediately cancelled his passport and eventually, as I understand it, forced him to chose his status one way or the other, he then renounced his Thai citizenship. I hasten to add that I didn't personally talk to the boy, it was all reported by his Father.

I've flown Thai Airways many times and they are excellent unfortunately for most Thai companies along with farmers and many other businesses they suffer due to the false extreme rise on the "Thai Baht" which the present Government is NOT doing a thing to control.????

A strong Thai Baht is not responsible, if anything it helps.  Fuel, (the single biggest cost to an airline), foreign airport charges, ICAO navigation charges and National ATC charges are all paid in US$, so a strong Baht helps. Currency hedging is a common and widespread process in virtually all airlines. It may deter some passengers, but not Thais and not enough to impact profits to this degree, this quickly.  Thai's problem is a higher than acceptable cost base, poor yield management, poor cost control  and what appears to be slack management processes, such as poor strategic planning. All indicative of a company primary in the public sector.

can i get a PR merely by ditching woman and shave my hair ?

No, certainly not, you have also got to be a hypocritical, self obsessed, hippy <deleted>. If you have those enviable qualities, you have a chance.

usually if you ask for it on board they will, for lower price than it would be at check in

I have never heard of that on any airline. 

My bedroom has been noticeably cooler these last couple of weeks.  The air-con has been set at 26 degrees and has hardly been activated during the night hours, just the fan blowing. It is very odd weather for this time of the year, lots of cloudy days, but very little rain.  Actually, it's rather pleasant.

Coke Light probably has more unhealthy chemicals in it than almost any alcoholic drink. Aspartame!

maybe, but it doesn't kill you and doesn't negatively impact the liver.  It's mainly water and mild flavouring. It is certainly a much better alternative to alcoholic drinks.

I answered the question asked by the poster.   I do wish that people would actually read the posts.
