Thailand Looks to Bolster Suvarnabhumi Airport as Southeast Asia's Top Transit Hub
I wasn't 'bashing' Thailand, it's just with airlines it's about cold-hard-cash, and 'bums on seats'. -

Who's Gonna Win The Tyson Fight?
Jake, you're forgetting something, you're a social media sensation, and you're obviously a clever guy. You've duped a lot of people into liking you and following you and you've made a fortune off that, but you're not a great boxer, you're not even a very good boxer, and you're certainly not an elite boxer, as you've never beaten anyone serious. So hopefully this fight will teach you a great deal of humility, which you need to a dramatic degree. -

It was quite simple, what speed is he downloading for the same device, if it was quicker than me it might be different cable so I'd buy a new one -

Misogynistic Attacks Against Women Surge on Social Media Following Trump’s Election Win
I wonder if you can identify a persons generation by this misappropriate use of words that sound (roughly) the same, but have different meanings and different spellings. Alternatively it could be none native speakers or something like that. -

Thailand Looks to Bolster Suvarnabhumi Airport as Southeast Asia's Top Transit Hub
The BKK bashers are out in force. How about some honesty? I am a frequent flyer and have had an opportunity to fly into some of the major airports in the world and BKK is one of my favourites. Compared to most airports in the EU and North America, BKK holds its own. I clear customs and immigration relatively quickly. My bags are delivered quickly. There are some days I am off the international flight and walking to my driver pickup or hotel in 30 minutes. How about looking at the original models? Singapore was always set up as a transit hub. The Singapore flights are not delivering visitors to Singapore. Thailand's flights were delivering visitors who stayed and spent money. Singapore had 13 million visitors in 2023. Thailand had 28 million visitors in 2023. Now Thailand is looking to picking up some easy business by attracting transit flights. It won't have to do much to be successful. It is not a "disaster". On what basis can you term the airport a disaster other than your own bias? The airport has some of the lowest delays in the region due to tarmac and ramp congestion. It has baggage delivery times comparable to ICN, NRT and HND. Customs and Immigration are relatively fast for most people. Have you ever considered that there has to be a demand for such options? There are many low cost 4* quality hotels all within easy access of the airport, so smart transit passengers don't bother with the pods. I usually stay at the Novotel. It is comparable in cost to the HND hotel. NRT and TPE do not have in terminal hotels. The Holiday Inn at SIN is further from some arrivals than the BKK Novotel and more expensive. The Regal at HKG is further too and more expensive, and not as nice. The airlines stopped flying to BKK because there wasn't a customer base to support the operation of the route. BA has resumed flights to BKK. There is no need to lure anyone away from SIN. The airlines will consider the potential for 5th Freedom flights. EVA does it now for VIE, LHR and AMS. Air Canada is a relatively new addition to Bangkok and is looking at a regional shift because of the issues with China. The same goes for US based airlines. There is nothing wrong with the AC. You do know that Bangkok is in the tropics and the daytime temperature regularly reaches 32C+ and sometimes 40C. The terminal temperature is usually at 23-25C which is more than acceptable. Asian people often find the terminal cool. The new Satellite terminal is very cool. -

Who's Gonna Win The Tyson Fight?
Anyone know the expected start time (Thai) for the fight? The Taylor v Serrano fight is underway. Just noticed that the Paul v Tyson fight is 8 x 2 minute rounds with the 14oz gloves on.
