pattaya round 2Hi all ,
I will be in town again on November 16 th for some good clean ( dirty ) fun .............. if you are in Pattaya at the same time drop me a line .
I heard from Monty and Fussy that Gulf Air are doing the deals at the moment , trying to gain market share , so I looked at possible flights in April 09 . From what I could tell flights to bkk from Lhr and Man are up 20 - 25 % on this year , the biggest reason being the cost of aviation fuel . The days of reasonable flight prices are done ......................... I just hope you guys can prove me wrong on this ....... I am not optimistic .
regards Yogi

jimmy macHi Jimmy,
Well thats a shame about you going in October , but it will still be a laugh either way I am sure . I booked up in January for November and I realised then that airline ticket prices were marching North and now that I am home again I have been looking at the prices for April / May time ......... now the prices are going up " faster than a ferret up a drain pipe " ......... its a joke !!!!!!!! . I suspect that the order of the day will be £ 600 + tickets from the U.K TO TO bkk ......I don`t think you will see prices coming down for a long time ( if at all ) . The only thing I can say to you is this .............. economise , this may even lead to guys sticking with the same gal night after night ( Hhhmmmm !!!! ....thats definitely not for me !! ) just so they can get a cheaper long term deal . Potentially foreigners will also seek out cheaper accomodation to offset the high ticket prices and hotels with joiners fees will be off limits to foreigners ( except those awash with greenbacks ) . On the plus side Jimmy you can still have it all ................just work 24/7 for Kelloggs !!!!???? ( am I right in assuming thats not an option ??).
regards Yogi

It's not all gloomSure Oil and Taxes are pushing flight prices up - but at least the value of the Baht is dropping.
Sterling and the Euro are back to typical levels - and there is lots of talk about protecting the dollar.
So spend more to get here, but have more baht to spend when you do.

not too worryim sure it wont be a problem for myself because im going on shifts over the summer which means more money in the bank to spend on the ladies and my ticket of course. I will find a way to get there and have a good time like i always do. Lets just hope the trusty 1000 baht LT prices dosent increase also lol
