  1. Also with Billabong the 2-1 only applies to House spirits, the House vodka is the worse I have tasted ... if you order Smirnoff then they charge 130 Baht per drink ... I can get the same in an air conditioned bar or GoGo 🤷‍♂️ I now avoid , unless friends want to meet there ... but I prefer Time Bar myself
  2. 👍 The HH rate is the same as I pay my regular taxi driver , but Pattaya I only pay 1,300 and I think some companies still do it for 1,100 ... Ko Chang is same price I was quoted for a minibus for five door to door ( but mine was from Patts )
  3. My trip didn't work out as I hoped exercise wise , I only used the hotel gyms once on the trip and my step count only averaged 6,600 a day ... but I was fairly sensible on the booze front , I only had a few very daft nights out and I was mostly drinking vodka soda with a squeeze of lime .....1/3rd of the time I would only have a couple of small beers / glasses of wine and 1/3rd were booze free .. I had a few big meals out , but mostly tried to keep it healthy for breakfast and have one other meal a day the result was .. I lost 5lbs ( 2kgs ) on my two month trip .... not as much as I hoped , but still happy ... now to get back to a good routine at home with gym , Pilates and walking
  4. I watched "Killers of the Flower Moon"on the flight back from Bangkok a Martin Scorsese film , with Leonardo Di Caprio and Robert De Niro , an usual Western I thought it was a good film , although unsettling , especially when you know it's based on a true story ... 👍
  5. The new airport (SAI) is 50km away from the town centre and takes about 1 hour

    Cricket

    My first IPL match of this year ... what a cracker 👍
  7. Opening mail and making lists of things I need to do .. 555
  8. If she's got a Thai sim , it will pick up the U.K. network, with dtac you get free data roaming in U.K. for 24 hours, as assume other Thai phone companies offer similar 🤷‍♂️... just make sure she has your full U.K. number + 44 etc in her phone
  9. 15+ years ago I always used to buy Japanese Whiskey when going through duty free ... the Yamazaki 12 was good but the 18 year old was my favourite and was about £60 a bottle ... but then you couldn't get hold of it and the prices went crazy ... just googled it now , the 12 year old is now £140 and 18 year old is for sale at £850 a bottle ... doubt if I'll ever get to taste it again ... 555
  10. and home .... 37 1/2 hours door to door ... although that did include a night in London because it was too late to get a flight home and the Sun is out , blues skies 😎 hoping for a good Spring and Summer 🙏
  11. As you say great value... I did go back for pastries....There was an old couple there , that I recognised from my last stay .. I think they are local , staff were all saying hello to them and saw them drive off afterwards, whilst I was waiting for the bus .. they are probably there a few times a week 555
  12. One more flight and I'll be home ... security at T5 was a complete ballache
  13. Heathrow T2 wasn't that bad tonight , the usual long walk , but short queues at immigration and waiting for baggage wasn't too long 👍
  14. Arrived at Swampy at 09:30 ... self check in and bag drop took a couple of minutes ( very easy to use ) , no queues at security or immigration, so was sat in the lounge within 15 mins ( silver status so I get to use lounge even if not travelling Business 👍 )
  15. Packing ... final time for this trip checked in online and downloaded boarding pass and lounge invitation taxi early tomorrow back in October
  16. About to start in Central... felt a few spots as I left the massage shop
  17. If you have a Revolut card worth loading up some USD when the exchange rate is favourable... hotels , Smile convenience stores , restaurants and most bars all accept 136-104 is the main nightlife area like Boydeste I also stayed at Sun and Moon Urban @maipenrai stayed at the Tao Residence, I believe he was very happy with it
  18. I wonder if this complex will be open by the time I come back in October ....? 555
  19. Was 1,200 Baht for a check up and clean 👍 Central Festival Dentist @ Beach
