[QUOTE=Nhscotsman]Hi,

I'm planning a trip to Bangkok in February/March and I'm curious what a good airfare would be. Right now I'm getting $900.00-$1000.00 fares from both Boston and New York.

Try this link I just got a quote of $600 for Feb 1 departure SFO to BKK on EVA Air $655 on China Airlines. Return date was May 15.

Hi,

I'm planning a trip to Bangkok in February/March and I'm curious what a good airfare would be. Right now I'm getting $900.00-$1000.00 fares from both Boston and New York. Is this a fair price or is this high? I'd like to think I could get a $600.00RT fare, but I may be dreaming too. Haha. You people see the rates all the time, what's the average fare and what's a good fare?

Thanks and I really enjoy reading all of your postings.

Have a great week!

Stick has been getting his ass kicked lately by notstickmanbangkok.com. Quite fun to read really. Besides, old Stick can't write English to save his life. Just another loser falang in BKK.

hohum, thought the old Stick was getting rather full of himself in recent months. I read it mainly for the reader's contributions (have to get my titillation somewhere). Though I must say it gave me my first theoretical introduction to Thailand's fun side which I am now finally able to try myself.

Interesting - Coma Boy's morallydiminished.********.com is also off-air as of today. Who's next?

Piper1,

just checked it - it is up again.

Pattaya beach road -

Interesting thing though is that the beach road scene seems to be back up - like they were just doing the extensive patrolling for some media even in pattaya. At least there were significant numbers out there after 10pm saying "Halllooo"

I have always used 1 2 call sim cards that have eventually expired. All the info remains current on the sim as do SMS messages. Messages will be wiped out once you remove the card from the phone.

Tuned in just now for my weekly dose of Stick, and it appears the entire site has been taken off air - and evidently not for technical reasons.

1Ball,

Don't know if all the networks have the same policies in Thailand, but I've never had any probs with my Cheap Charlie DTAC sim card. On arrival, I just 'fill her up' and she's good to drive .

Question for you cell phone people. I have an "orange" SIM card, and just realized it has an expiry date of november 17. I was going to top it up so it remain valid until my next trip, but forgot. When I return in January, after it has expired, can I top it up again, or will it be dead? Will I still have my address book intact, or will everything be gone? I am taking it out of the phone to install the SIM card I use in Indonesia.
thanks

If you top off your Orange card, it should extend term; at least in most other countries that is how prepaids works.

Ask G or someone to buy top off card (rub off to get pin number), pm your number to him and he'll top off for you.

If you wait till Jan, again depends on carrier; in most cases, it's dead but address book should still be intact. I would back up sim card address to your phone just to make sure!

You should be able to do the same from overseas but I assume you don't have customer service contact, etc.

Tiger, all this happened in Dubai, not Livingstone's, so this is not Giotto chit chat ! this is Dubai chit chat, which is why it is in the Thailand thread

Piper, I am curious. What was the context of her mentionning me? Was it in the throes of passion, as she whispered....... " oh yes 1ball, you bad boy you"?

Guys, please don't carry the Giotto's Lodge thread chit chat over here.

In your dreams buddy! (although she did mention you last night. I'm starting to get worried!)

I need the AED for my romantic date with Mrs Piper1

Last night out on the town, a work/mongering pal asked me the same question you asked me in Dubai: With such a honey of a wife, why would I ever want to go mongering? When you have caviar at home every day, sometimes you feel like going out for fish'n'chips. And whenever travelling, one should always try the local exotic cuisine.
