Oh please, don't let there be a shortage in watch-sellers

Reducing the number of days from 60 to 30 days for a Visa Exemption will not be a problem for me for now, unless my boss suddenly decides to double my amount of vacation days Here's the latest revised VoA and Visa Exemption scheme:

It's been a very long time since I visited. The place was totally crowded with many, many girls (all GGs, since ladyboys weren't allowed in (they're outside on the sidewalk) It was that crowded that customers could only walk one after each other in a circle, passing all the girls. Nearly impossible to stop for a chat. This, combined with average quality of the girls and ridiculous prices they asked for, explains why it has been a very long time ago

There simply isn't on general rule of thumb. I always arrive between 9.30 and 10 30 am. Queue time before immigrations varied from absolutely none to >90 minutes Too much dependencies to predict!

If they brew a decent cappuccino, they can sign me up as their first regular

Atom IS the joke FFS

If instead of keeping on whining you just answered @ausmagoo's questions, your issue would have been resolved a while ago

As of July 1st, next to AirFrance/KLM, also Thai Airways will resume direct flights between Bangkok and Amsterdam. I compared the price for a random 2-week period in August, which shows Thai Airways being approx. 100 Euro more expensive. Prices shown in the screenprint below are excl. 30 Euro administration fee.

Glad to hear you managed to find a flight! Needless to say it is a waste of the extra money. On the other side, it makes sense from an airline point of view. They also have a huge cost increase with all kind of detours / cancellations etc. But still ... I recall having to fly back from Ho Chi Minh City to Amsterdam, in July 2020, just after the Covid-19 lockdown in Vietnam, where I got stuck for > 4 months. I finally managed to book a flight, with Cathay Pacific from HCMC to HongKong and from HongKong to London. Next, British Airways took me from London to Amsterdam. This all in half empty planes, for the mere sum of approximately 5.100 Euro! This has undoubtedly caused raised eyebrows in the finance department of my employer Have a safe flight!

Maybe a good idea to search on kiwi.com @taaseesanuk Direct flights are indeed very, and I mean VERY expensive, but with one transfer, you can already set foot on British ground for about 400 Euro (<360 GBP) Sorry for Dutch screenshot

If really urgent ... you can always book with KLM, the direct fllight BKK - AMS and from there a flight to the UK

Nope ... directly on https://all.accor.com

I've booked (a while ago alreafy) the Mercure for my upcoming trip, end of March. Costs about 100 Euro (87 GBP) per night

Haha ... blame it on a sticky finger Indeed, 1200 THB!

You can try to pre-book Orange taxi from Pattya. Last time (January last year) they brought me from Sukhumvit to Buakhao and charged me 2200 THB. So from Suvarnabhumi it can even be less Communication with them is very easy via WhatsApp or Line. Booking via tablet PC is also possible. HOME - Taxi Pattaya Have a good one mate!
