Yep, you are right, I wrongly put 200 baht....it was in fact 100 baht. Fantastic value....edited the post.

I had lunch today at Krua khun Puk, oddly it's the first time I have eaten here. It was very busy with all tables full and seating only along the side benches. I always use the pad krapow moo as a good choice to see how the cooking is, with this being such an iconic Thai dish it should be a guaranteed pleaser. So, after 20-25 minutes after ordering the food it still hadn't arrived, taking into account a busy lunchtime I felt this was still odd, sure enough the waiter had fucked up and not relayed the order to the kitchen. In fairness the food then arrived within 5 minutes so kudos for the rapid response. It was a good size portion and the flavours were everything you expect for this dish, my only gripe was that the egg wasn't runny but perhaps I should have stipulated that. When the check bin came it was 100 baht , ridiculously cheap for prime Sukhumvit territory. As a quick lunchtime meal or if you want a eat and go type place then this will more than serve your needs!

Yeah, I'm really not expecting any joy with it, things could have been a lot worse and for some that really is the case. 5 more nights in The Big Mango with a rock solid reason for it....I'm definitely looking on the positives!!

Got a flight with EVA through a Thai travel company back in UK....one way ticket is £1400!! I actually consider myself lucky as others are paying plenty more and having to stay longer! Will get refunded from Etihad but it's a pittance in comparison, maybe there is a possibility of claiming on the travel insurance but they will most likely wriggle out of it citing act of War/conflict/Unforseen event ect ect...

I can confirm this, I'm trying to source a one way ticket from BKK to London, firstly there is nothing until middle of next week and then prices with Thai Airways and EVA are typically £1300....total rip off. Ethiad Airlines have been useless, a generic message each day saying flights suspended for 24hrs and to reschedule or apply for a refund. I appreciate the situation is continuously changing but to just constantly putting the same message up with a different time is not helpful.

Looks like some great choices and fantastic value. As a word of caution I would be very wary of pre-heated food outside where temperatures can't be regulated.

Yeah, It will unravel, I actually think that they are starting to fly some out now, the priority being those stuck in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, hopefully a week of turmoil then it will start easing again

Yeah, could be worse, I feel for the poor sods stuck in Dubai, that said I do need to get home at some point soon!

Indeed!....

So, Emirates have cancelled all flights from LOS to UK this forthcoming week. A complete refund or reschedule are being offered. I am waiting to see if Etihad follow suit, I have a flight booked next Saturday night back to the UK. Looks like an interesting few days coming up....

Agoda?

Should anyone be thinking of a lower Sukhumvit Hotel booking it seems as of 1st March the prices are falling. I have just booked The Mercure at £370 inclusive of tax for 5 nights, last week this same booking was pushing £600.

Like a plague of locusts!....platters of prawns and duck are blitzed in seconds!!

They have always struck me as being a bit on the economy end of the scale. That said, providing they are clean then the location is good.

From memory there are options for larger vehicles at the public taxi rank.
