I know alcohol sales are banned for the day, so I'm guessing any bar / club will be shut down. What about the MP's? I have also read that since it fell on a weekend, the holiday will be observed on Monday as well. I'm guessing all bars / clubs shut down then as well? Thanks for any info.
[QUOTE=Syzygies;1997250]People on that forum are bound to be biased. I guess he seeks a comparison by guys who like Thailand. Seems fair enough to me, considering this is the general thread.[/QUOTE]I used to go to Korea before I ever step foot regularly to Thailand in the 70's and early 80's, the last time was in 1986, in Hong Kong for my regular holiday and took a short trip because told by locals in H. K. It will not be the same after the Olympics and sure enough everything I've heard since points to it being true mainly the prices. If price isn't a concern I say why not. Although overall my experience with Korean women was good especially the service I think today it is nothing like then? Then, I use to pay something like $40.00 USD, for all day all night, change girl each day, and pick the new one by just picking up the phone and 4-5 girls would be at my door to check out to pick. Those days your talk about service, they help you undress, wash you and fold your clothes, even had one try to wipe my butt after I took a dump, that was too much service. Those days it seem no one heard or use a condom.
From another website. Thought this might interest those of you that spend a lot of time or live in Bangkok.

How many of us want to really date girls. If we are honest most of us only want to fuck them.

It is sometimes hard to fathom the situation if you listen to their dribble and try to understand them. When you want to get to the last act, you have to at least appear interested in their feelings, idea, and welfare. And appear to be intently interested in what they are saying. As Benicio del Toro said in the Heineken ad, I have been working on that look for 15 years.
Is a 1 hour connection between a flight from USA arriving at airport in Seoul, connecting to flight leaving.
For BKK 1 hour later. Was wondering if I would have to exit / change terminals, go thru security etc. Before getting to 2nd flight.
I have a question about Route 4 and was hoping someone has already taken it. Question 1 is does it go in both directions to / from Bali Hai to the Naklua Lan Pho market? It looks like it starts at Bali Hai Pier (ie. Mixx disco), goes along 3rd Road, then cuts down to Pattaya-Naklua Road. Am I correct? Are they readily available at Bali Hai Pier at 3 am as I am leaving Walking Street?
If anyone has a better map of the new routes please post.

The airport ain't that big. You have plenty of time if you just transfer. Make sure to check your bag through to your final destination and that you get your boarding passes. Just watch out for no frills airlines or switching airlines, that might present a problem. Check with your airline.

At some point you'll see a reader board where you'll look for your next flight number and what gate to go to. You will end up going through another security point with your carry-ONS. Then you'll go find your gate as you wander through something like a shopping mall. One hour is good, they should just about be boarding your onward flight if all is on schedule.

Flying 101. Check with your carrier. Don't rely on what people tell you here. Ask the right people who have all your particulars. Asiana is a full service airline.
Just make sure the pilot is not using GPS to land! LOL.
As crazy said. Look for the Transit sign or ask the staff waiting outside when you arrive. If you really want to plan. Check the arrival times for the past several flights from SFO and the Thai departure times. You should be able to find the gate numbers too. SFO might arrive early.

I don't know your carrier, but before Thai Air discontinued its North American flights, a stop at Seoul was a part of the last routing. It was billed as a "technical stop". You land, get off the plane, go through security (yes, on arrival--same as at Narita), go upstairs and immediately go to your gate for boarding. You never encounter security and technically never enter ROK.
For Thai Air, you would re-board the same aircraft (cleaned and refueled during the hour). (You cannot leave anything on board the aircraft.) I suspect your airline is doing something similar. I wouldn't worry about the time on the ground, but you definitely don't have time for a meal or a nap. Hope this is helpful / reassuring. TTG.
[QUOTE=Crazy4Thai;2000250]Yeah, you'll be ok.(snip) [b]if all is on schedule[/b].[/QUOTE]That's the operative clause here.
Have some delay when departing SFO, get some headwind along the route, arrive out of your slot at destination and wait for a gap in the landing sequences to fit in and you are cutting it really close.
By running you may still make it to your gate in time, but what about your luggage?

I was under the impression that if his connecting flight on to BKK left without him it is likely that they also left without 20 or more other passengers who were on his original flight and also bound for BKK. And for that reason the "delay" is now transferred to the onward flight as it waits for everyone and hopefully their luggage to get there. I'm sometimes naively optimistic though.
