Grab is quite good, ive used it in the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. HCMC was a bit of a struggle though..... Others all OK. its just become one of the standard forms of travel now. Even have a BEAT account in greece.

I was joking!!!!!!

As a frequent traveller, i was thinking of all the ways i have travelled throughout BKK et al. Big bus, little bus, open bus, tuk tuk, taxi, motorbike taxi, motorbike, car, truck, van, in the back of a pick-up (great rides!!!), bicycle, tractor, BTS, MTR, country train, Sleeper train, airport...

not sure how you keep the booking slip other than the printout from the taxi machine, but as a frequent taxi rider here i have a snapshot of his taxi plate. Further, i have a very good friend in security at BKK and he is going crazy over the way i was treated. The driver will now be banned from...

Arrive BKK hotel this morning and front story on the Bangkok Post was reporting on a German report about the hotels, taxi, etc, scam in various parts in Thailand at the moment. Perfect timing as i just had a nasty experience coming from the airport with a taxi whose meter was doctored. As a...

Well my watch is probably really too traditional, doesn't need charging, new batteries or the internet to work, easy to change and see (as you get older) and keeps your hands free. I using it right now (this minute) in SE Asia as i bring in a furnace and its perfect with the loud noises...

That is the challenge Hvr and I've got no solution yet. And they get very frustrated when i call to see how they are from here in Thailand.

Thanks to all of the comments, but i think my job is now to convince them their travelling days are over. Going to be hard because it was a huge feature of their life, at least 3 trips per year for 45 years. Just to answer some of the above; for the past five years J class has been standard...

I've mentioned a number of times in posts here over the years one of strengths of travelling for me was dad and mum's many trips to Thailand (100 +) when we were growing up and travel/asia/people etc, just became the family norm. Unfortunately they have reached that time in life that its...

This one to me was a classic, not because of the beer, but by the alcohol content 4.91%, are you kidding 2 decimal places! The beer itself was not bad a bit like a Toohey's old but a bit lighter in burnt character. Not bad for San Miguel.

Its been some time since I've posted anything, a bit of a personal self-imposed exile after some of the debate on a few threads during the last election. But beer has brought me out, good old beer what can it not do!!!!!!! I've stored a lot of pic's up over the recent months but i do like this...

Galena, you need galena!!!!!! We have all been "lead" astray with this thread............

mmmmm interesting so when do allegations go to fact? because a website tells you so?

I've not declared my allegiance left or right as i don't believe this forum is the place to do it. But i dont like seeing things in bold like the word "rape" here when there so much unsupport data . Is there anything wrong with that? So News Corp and Fairfax not reporting it is therefore a...

Good, I'm the first to stand up! Maybe its worth rereading yours and others posts.

Sad, so very sad to see this stuff on AFF. And to BOLD it is always a classic to make sure its heard. Pointless to say anything else other than i thought i belonged to Australian Frequent Flyer, not some ideological right winged site. And before you have a go at me, I'm a coal miners son working...

Noel Pearson so eloquently said in his eulogy to Whitlam; " The devil-may-care attitude to management as opposed to reform is unlikely to be seen again by governments whose priorities are to retain power rather than reform" has never rang so true in this election. With that I expect disciples...

Are they? And we wonder why the US got themselves in knots over false stories at their last election. I reflect back to last week whilst i was in LA and with a bit of time to spare before heading to Asia i went birding down at Bellona Lagoon. Met a lady walking around there as should get...

A bit sad/downhearted that we see stories like this on the AFF site. Not really much to do with planes, trains, hotels and lounges but i suppose a few days out from an election and its in the playground. But one of the comments Smith story was not even News Corp would touch it, so why do we?

i would love to be able to plan a trip like that; thoughtful, unhurried and do what you like. I'm currently on another one of those crazy trips. Last years one was supposedly a 4 - 6 week turned into a 4 month long jaunt. Now this one has already entered its third month on what was supposidly a...
