[QUOTE=Fast Eddie 48]Guido88,
Are you sure you can get a redemption flight for just 40 USD first class on a long haul flight, it is hard to believe that airline add fuel tax, dep tax and processing charge, I once book a redemption flight from SF to Las vegas coach domestic flight tax is over 35 USD already.

The costs depend on countries, number of miles redeemed and also the airline. As I said Biz class LAX- St. Petersburg RUwith Delta miles will run me $160 for a shorter flight on Air France.
For security, names and FF# have been changed.
It pays to study and work the best airline programs.

Right now it takes 170,000 frequent flier miles from LAS to BKK on coach, and 310,000 for business class. They're sure proud of those miles!!!

The problem is Delta miles are damn near worthless. When they merged with NWA I had 100,000 miles I could not use due to Delta's ridicules mileage reward requirements.
Fortunately by planning ahead I was able to burn them flying LAX-LED on Air France Biz class. Not that I mind an RU trip anyway.
The key is to plan early, and never fly a USA airline. IMHO

Maybe they're worthless to use on Delta, but in the past, I have had no problem using my Delta Miles on KAL for a trip from LAX to BKK through Incheon

Exactly my point.
Curious, what was the class & mileage required.

My first trip to Thailand was in 1978. It was then I witness a beautiful woman, named Tip, launch bananas across the stage and open a soda bottle with her snatch. You know, pure entertainment! Pattaya also had quite a bit going on.
In late 2001, the raunchy stuff still existed. In Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy, there were several sex shows. Real sex shows, not the "touch my nipples" show. And in Pattaya, I was able to see ping pong balls and razors flying coming out of snatches.
I went back in 2002 only to discover all the raunchy shows were gone. I think the government was trying to clean up some of the fun stuff. My last trip was in 2004. Still no great shows.
Lately, I've been traveling to Central and South America the last few years just to try other chicas. And yes, they are hot, but I do miss the Thai girls.
So back to my question, have the raunchy shows returned?
Couple of questions guys, Doing a 2 month trip to pattaya from 1st July.
What are the rules around mopeds/motorbikes for uk travellers? Do I need an international drivers licence? A motorbike licence? Or nothing? And like uk, does that change with the size of bike?
Got an iPad and netbook and want mobile wifi. Everywhere I go in pattaya seems to have loads of wifi connections, 7/11s etc. How does that work? Is it a prepaid thing you buy in a 7/11 or Internet and which ones are best in pattaya for coverage?
Thanks folks

If you have a bike licence in the UK then get an international drivers licence.
One thing though is most travel insurers will only cover you up to 125cc for medical cover and only if you have a bike licence.

The last time I was in Bangkok, I bought a SIM card (DTAC) for my phone to use it in Thailand. I added time by buying prepaid cards. I haven't used that SIM for 8 months now. I will be returning to Bangkok next week and taking the phone (with the SIM) with me. How soon can I use it after landing at the Airport (next week)?

Go to Patpong. The shows are still going strong there.
depends on how long the SIM card was set up as "good" - some are good for a YEAR, others only 90 days. IF it's valid, just buy some more time at the 7-11 and use it at Swampy if you want to. (or use what you have - it's still good usually if the card is good)

each card and each rovieder has its own rules.
Sometime if you top it by a high amount you keep it valid for one year, a mid amount by 6 months...
You really need the conditions when you bought it.
If still valid, it will work as soon as you activate it on arrival.
