Hi All I've no idea Guess, but I heard when I was in Bangkok (August) that someone had bailed out Phuket Air, apparently releasing an aircraft that the Thai authorities had confiscated for none payment of bills. Incidently, :D I got my money back from the travel agent (took a long time) and flew wit...

Hi All, Couldn't agree more. We all want impartial advice based on experience. Nothing wrong with promotions/ ads if we know about it. Difficult to separate, but I hope the moderators keep on top of it. Who's watching the moderators? ( :? Don't take too seriously, as this could be endless!!!) :cheer...

Hi, The Pineapple card sounds really good, but I think the number below is cheaper? You'll have to do your own calculating to work out the cost per minute and record the length of calls, blah, blah (boring, I know, but done accurately, would be useful) My wife is always ringing Thailand from the UK ...

Hi Peter, :thumb: Thanks for your help on the other thread. The local trading standards office were very helpful. Incidently, if you have bought by credit card, as I did, there is, appararently, no particular time limit to claiming from them. To my surprise, depending on and in most circumstances, y...

Hi PeteB Nice to hear from you again! :thumb: Thank you for the response and advice, I'll give this a go, as well. I have already booked a flight with Eva Air for £560 (incl. tax) - found a 'window' in their prices - most odd, but I've got the tickets and they have a good reputation, I'm told!? I'v...

Thanks
I'll let you know

Hi Larry70dj, I paid by card (always do for the back-up) and did know of this, but thank you very much for the response. I will try this as the last resort, as I am hoping to make more of a fuss and think there should be more protection. :guns: ABTA and ATOL (in UK) are bloody useless, I have severa...

Hi All, Have posted this elsewhere, but probably in the wrong place to get a response. Just thought you should know (Can't find this elsewhere). Phuket Air suddenly pulled out of flights from Gatwick/ London. I booked a flight in March for July. :cuss: It was cancelled (having paid £500) early Apri...

Hi All, Just thought you should know (Can't find this elsewhere). Phuket Air suddenly pulled out of flights from Gatwick/ London. I booked a flight in March for July. :cuss: It was cancelled (having paid £500) early April, just before those fiascos with fuel during the Easter period. :cuss: :cuss: ...

Hi backinUK, No offence to your friend But it's his decision so I guess he knows what he's doing. I doubt it :mrgreen: , very few are aware of the difference and most think that it makes no difference (I used to. I married in the UK and I'm still married after 4 years, but am aware of the failure ra...

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for the quick and useful reply

Hi All :thumb: I agree, an excellent post, generalisations are often needed to make progress. Sometimes knowing what other people go through helps. Just remember, you get over one hurdle, begin to relax and up pops another, stick with it, it's a roller coaster ride and there is lots of fun as well. ...

Hi All Another question for :bow: oh wise ones. Having a discussion today about the horrendous cost of importing a car to Thailand, basically not worth it (unless I'm told you strip it down and bring it in bits - any one know of this one?). However, a suggestion was made that in Chiang Mai there is ...

Hi All, Searched the forum for this question, sorry if it's been asked/ answered before! Can somone please give me an idea of the monthly cost of running an AC unit and/or fan. I appreciate that this is a bit open ended, like how long is a piece of string, but just an idea in a few different situati...

Hi All Some good comments there. Come on lets get real a two week romance a year apart and a one month holiday are not good grounds for any relationship to work I tend to agree. I bought my then girl friend to the UK on a 6 month fiancee visa to see how we got on, not long enough for me, however, we...
