[QUOTE=Gaienmae]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.[/QUOTE]Interesting - Coma Boy's morallydiminished.********.com is also off-air as of today. Who's next?
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.
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"

[QUOTE=Jatan]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.[/QUOTE]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.
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!

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.

In February you should be able to get a round trip direct flight from JFK to BKK for around $1,000. This is a non-stop 17 hour flight on Thai Airways and beats the hell out of flying to the west coast first then to Japan or Korea, changing planes and then onto BKK. I had rather pay an extra $100 and shorten the flight by about 7 hours. The Thai Airways flight arrives in BKK around 5 PM while most of the others get thjere around 11 PM to midnight. I have booked this flight for Feb. 1st.

Oyster lover, the Thai air website shows the non stop to cost 1156US$.
As Capt JB says, the extra 100 or so will be well worth it. 1 flight instead of 3, it is a no brainer.
Cheaptickets, and Orbitz are 1165$.
Have fun.
Other than the 7 or 8 hour saving by flying non stop NewYork to Bangkok, what is Thai Airways like? Are they decent or are they just another slap you in the seat, give you some nuts and a can of Coke type of airline?

Nhscotsman[/QUOTE]Its a great airline. I flew on them from Japan to Bkk, Really great service. One thing I love about international airlines is the uniforms they wear. Im from the US and hate the complete asexual style uniforms they have on most major arilines. But the Thai air service is superb. Its all about your comfort.
I haven't been to Phuket or Samui for about 12 years, although I've been to LOS about 10 times in that period.
Which of the islands or beach destinations would you guys rate the highest for hobbyists other than Pattaya, which I don't really like so much anymore. I'd rather stay in BKK than go there, but I want to get to a beach and still be able to pull some beauties without too much hassle.

The beaches are nice and the women were of good quality. Met several that were very nice. That would be my nod. Just make sure you stay near Patong Beach. Bangla Soi is where the action is. They have a Holiday Inn right by Bangla Soi.

Thai Airways is great. The seats seem to give you a little more room than those on Cathy Pacific and the service is 2nd. to none. Nice looking cabin crew. I flew JFK to BKK and back in February and have booked them again for my 2007 February trip. One plus is that the flight arrives in BKK around 5 pm and there was not that many at customes & imigration. The Cathy Pacific, Northwest, & one other airline all have jumbo jets arrive between 11 pm & midnight causing long lines at imigration. One other plus is on a direct flight there is a lot less chance of your bags getting lost.
The food on Thai Airways is good and you can always go to the galley for snacks ect. It will save you several hours of flight time and one change of planes as well.
I don't know if this is the right place but anyway.

1. Americans: Ignorant. Loud. Oblivious to surroundings. Insincere.
2. French: Rude. Bigoted. A trifle out of touch with reality.
3. Germans: Humorless. Rule-obsessed. Unfriendly. Stubborn.
4. Israelis: Rude. Cheap. Arrogant. Cliquish.
5. Canadians: Exactly like Americans, but more soft-spoken, more polite, less ignorant, and twenty times more boring.
