After arriving home just over a week ago, I was thinking about some of the high and low points Certainly meeting my latest crush was a high point, but as far as the low points, there thankfully few of them. Probably my best trip ever.  But there was one thing. Singapore Airlines. Now normally I find them to be in the top echelon of airlines. I had four legs with them. On two of them it was not a pleasant experience! The second leg, Singapore to London in an A380 was to put it mildly a pain in the ass. I had to sit on an angle as if I sat straight ahead, my knees were buried in the magazine pocket. Not good. I did call the flight attendant but there was nothing she could do. The plane was full. So the 11 hour flight was less than good. To cap it off, the guy who was to pick me up got his days mixed up, said take a taxi. Welcome to England. A 14 minute ride cost 55 pounds!!!!!. Not a typo. Flew Thai from London to BKK on the return. No problems. Then BKK to Brisbane via Singapore. Bingo!, the Singapore to Brisbane on a A350 I had the same issue. No idea what is going on except to suggest that they are putting extra seats in and reducing the pitch.  The woman next to me was all of 160 tall and was wondering what the fuss was about. I am all of 185cm so not overly tall by any means.  I have been a Singapore Airlines fan for years, but this took the edge off it.

I stayed here and also at a newer section of the hotel called Maison Stay both were guest friendly but Maison Hotel is quite "public" for lack of a better way to describe it, the lobby is always quite busy with guests and is staffed by multiple receptionists and you have a bit of an audience on your walk to the elevator, if you're a shameless degenerate like me then it's fine but a more shy/discreet BM might not like it. Although the later it is in the day the quieter the lobby is. Maison Stay on the other hand was infinitely more discreet, the elevators are next to Tamnanthai Restaurant and for both hotels I was not asked to present my lady (both GG and LB) to the front desk for ID check, I'm sure they would do it if you insisted for your own peace of mind. Rooms were super nice in both hotels and staff were great, no real complaints.

Currently it is 60 days for the Cambodian girls (and they can apply for a 30 day extension).  Land borders still not open and changing to only 14 days by air...hopefully they will get education visas or something like that. 

Yes they actually did some research. And a lot of the illegal activites are exploiting these 60 day excemption. Several news storys of bust mention this specifically.
