    Whereas look at the flights on the same day with air asia, where your 20kgs is in the price already, I think, and is half the price of Nok Air

    I wouldnt fuck around with any thing, trains, buses all have their drawbacks, last time I came up was by car, comfortable AC Camry door to door, airport Suvy whatever.

    Friend aranged it comforable car, Issarn speaking, native from near where yr wife lives, honest, no BS and not at all reckless.
    Well recommended.

    I think the cost was 6000 Bt but that is a relatives price.

    Got any air miles accrued with Thai we used to use them for free flights inside Thailand only paid tax which was about 400 baht.Plus Thai keep sending me emails if you book on their website get free internal flights.And their not that expensive these days.We hired a taxi to Ubon and back driver fell asleep 3am nearly killed us i woke him up before we ran into the back of a cement mixer.He fell asleep 2 more times after that i had to keep waking him up.Just call it extreme taxi rides.

    ^ I've often found here that "special " prices from BiLs, cousins etc are very special indeed.

Only after they took the money do they tell you it's overland to Nong Khai - with some serious stopovers and delays.

    Fuck Nok Air - more slippery than a slippery fish covered in slippery oil

    Sorry Nigel,

    I didn't mean to sound like a smart arse but Ive had some shockers of Bus rides in my early years in Thailand and now avoid them at all costs.

    For me personally, its either fly, Train or hire a car and drive myself, my life is worth much more than saving Baht by getting in one of those buses whether there Government run or not.

    My nervous system just cant hack it and I'm sure its got something to do with my line of work and seeing the aftermath of road trauma maybe once too often.

    Have a good trip mate and I hope your new house build works out for you.

    Cheers with it all.

    Youve been flashing your notes around on here for days now terry.

    First there was the cheapskate with the 700 baht taxi from Swampy, then the bender with the short time room in Chiang Mai, now this.

    The least you could do is do a mate a favour and pay for Nige's donkey ride to Udon

    Yes your absolutely correct, its the very least I could do for a fine fellow like Nigel.

    Only one problem Though,

    Socal has got his cock buried nuts deep up the Donkeys bottom so we must wait until the Donkeys blows its load before Nigel can start the Journey.

    Or through the day. Overnight journeys are good for valium munching, beer swilling reprobates.

    Sounds ideal for Nige, actually...

    Like it or not I find your company very pleasant, like most of the fellows that attend the world series cricket, Germans and Ozzies included.

    One American that can't hold his liquer too well but he's got the message and prefers solace.

    I find it satisfing that we have found the formula for world peace, and despite being citizens of the world, we all get on together, now we just have to cater for the German love of being the boss and the American desire to fuck things up be interfering when they can't have all things going their own way.
