Great airports have free showers and free internet.

Lots of better things for Justice to do!

The government probably can't do worse than the Katrina response. Heckuva job Brownie.

It's the quantity of motobikes. Although I suppose more traffic lights would help somewhat. Btw, it's not all that unusual to see four people on one motobike.

Here's one deal. These prices are higher than the going rate but the typical farang probably wants the psychological comfort of being in the Thailand's most highly regarded hospital. This does not mean you'll get the best boob job here. Bumrungrad

A few weeks ago, I visited a friend in a hospital who had all kinds of pins inserted into her leg. If you're in Pattaya or Bangkok there's no need to rent a bike. I don't take mototaxis eitehr. A small out of the way island (not Phuket) is a different story.

Something similar to this: Transportation & Travel All information regarding travel including Planes, Trains, Busses, and other travel related information and tips.

Btw, ladyboys here use the female bathroom. That's a big issue for transgenders in the West but a non-issue here in the LOS.

Tip number one involves frequent flyer miles. If you don't have any perhaps a relative can give them to you. You might be able to arrange a trip where you get to go to two countries for the same amount of miles as just one country, since you're allowed one layover and it can be for months. The Bangkok backpacker scene is centered around Khao San Road. For the beach, the backpacker's favorite is Ko PhanGan. Every full moon they have the world's largest all night rave. I'd also advise you to not do any illegal drugs. You can abuse generic pharmacuticals though I'm certainly not recommending this.

One day I took a tuk tuk that included the gem store/tailor shop tour. A nice cheap way to see the city as long as you don't buy anything. Also took me to an obscure shrine. Not sure if this was to legitimize the trip or another kickback scheme due to the offereing box. Do the drivers get paid a flat fee kickback or if someone buys gems to they get a percentage?

I have the low end 1000 baht Nokia, model number is not on the phone. Suits me just fine and don't have to worry about losing it.

All the ladyboys I've ever met say kha.

It doesn't, just reminded me of childhood memories.

Friendly people. Smiling all the time is akin to the power of positive thinking.

Maybe for the 0-10 post category?

Best to avoid the middleman IMHO.

Strangely enough most guys who prefer ladyboys consider themselves straight.

20 subforums and none for travel deals. I stock an airfare post in the Biking section but I get the sense you want to keep it pure and airfare threads generally dominate travel sub forums.

20% off in Oct and Nov if you book before the end of Sept. Mods, please move to whichever sub-forum is most appropriate.

Tuk Tuk Driver and Pok Pok Vendor might be worthy of consideration.

If I restricted to Italian, I'd have to eat my Monday and Thursday meals at the LK Rennasaince in Pattaya. Monday, all you can eat pasta and all you can eat lasagna on Thursday.

"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold." I'd say that's what Pattaya is all about. But I wouldn't extrapolate the vibe of Sodom By The Sea to the entire Kingdom.

In the 60's there was an amusement parkm in the northeast Bronx called FreedomLand. The tore it down and built Co-Op city, low end coops for the middle class. FWIW Palisades amusement park was much better than FreedomLand. They bulldozed Palisades to build Winston Towers, a somewhat more higher end housing project. Palisades had the world's largest saltwater pool, lots of rides and arcades and also rock n rill shows.

Used to be in the Bronx but now it's Co-Op City.
