The Novotel at BKK is definitely the best option if the price is acceptable. I used QFF points for our stay a few months ago. They still have the 24hr check in. There are also a couple of pod-type accommodations which charge by the hour. They're in the basement level walkway between Novotel and...

We left BKK on Friday (for SIN as it happens) and returned on Monday. It was very busy but they seemed to have plenty of staff and were actively managing the queues. We took about 20 mins departing in Y and just 5 mins returning with fast track. Bags were through already. I'd suggest sticking...

Amazing - just had a call from Qantas Thailand asking where to send the Christmas gift - thats a first. I almost didn't answer as I don't normally pick up for numbers I don't recognize, but this one was persistent.

And the recipient is blacksultan - if you PM the details I'll make the transfer. Commiserations to those who missed out.

Prefer that that go to positive posters with the opportunity to use them at an F lounge. No PMs please.

ISTR that Qantas used to sell bus tickets on a certain route, but I probably shouldn't have mentioned that.

Same here as an overseas P1 and happy enough with that.

It's 20K, or foreign currency equivalent, if entering on a visa, but only 10K if visa exempt - and yes it does have to be in cash, However it's virtually never checked or enforced. AIUI, it's used very occasionally as a convenient device to exclude someone deemed undesirable for other reasons.

The 'Authenticator' app works well and avoids SMS issues, but I'm not sure if you can switch to that without having to call first.

A kind neighbour gave me a lime from her garden, but... ... I'm gonna need a bigger bottle of gin.

Call me a cynic, but I have to wonder if his current animus might, in some small part, be formed by his loss of CL status.

There's some current discussion of this over on FT which might help. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thai-airways-royal-orchid-plus/2079688-open-lounges-have-showers-open-bkk-2.html

This spoof promo has its moments.

BTW, they're resuming flights to Perth next month. After a long break, Perth is finally coming back. THAI will resume it’s services from Perth to Bangkok. If you're missing Thai food, enjoy warm Andaman seas and sunlight it’s time to return. THAI will operate non-stop from Perth to Bangkok...
