Like why do people go to Angelis city and why do they still have a functioning airport. Its not for the culture/ beaches. |
I visited Angeles Citylate one night in January 2005. Must have definitely been the wrong time because there wasn't much happening.
Would've have been better to stay in The L.A. Cafe or Amazon Bar in Malate  _________________ EXPAT IN CHINA |

I've been to Bangkok a few times, but never really on a big budget. Different foreign men I talked to in Manila agreed that Thailand was a major rip-off compared to the Philippines.
Quite amazingly, western men are seem as being quite exotic creatures in the Phils. I was surprised even when arriving at the airport, that a young girl with her parents was turning her head and looking at me with great interest. Because of the Spanish ancestry, the faces are stunning  _________________ EXPAT IN CHINA |

The general feeling I get is Thailand is really a famous for the full body massage. The soapy kind. This is sothing you have to do if you go to Bangkok. You can skip the gogo bars and then head down to Manilla. _________________ You've got another five seconds say something really outragious

I got a good deal on a return flight Bkk - Mnl - Bkk on Kuwait Airways for $US345 in January 2005. Took only 3 hours & 15 minutes  _________________ EXPAT IN CHINA |

| Is that the cheapest flight? I thought there would be cheaper ones on that route. |

That was the best ROUND TRIP fare I could find through a small travel agency on Khao San Road in Bangkok. It was cheaper than anywhere else I looked.  _________________ EXPAT IN CHINA |

ran into someone the other day-he told me that the same ticket was 30% if purchased in Bangkok--i forget the route but it was a common international flight. _________________ Asia Expats Forum

Of course. They probably do, but you can only book Air Asia online. I flew down from Kunming to Bangkok, and wanted to sort the flight out quickly in person.
I'll have to remember Air Asia next time  _________________ EXPAT IN CHINA |

| I didn't realise that Air Asia was only online booking. I haven't used them. Just heard of the cheap deals. |

Asiania must have got tons of customers to A/C. When the Korean government attempted to close down all the brothels in Seoul. I guess now that things are back to normal things have slowed down a bit. _________________ You've got another five seconds say something really outragious

It's what a travel agent in Bangkok told me when I wanted to book Air Asia through her office  _________________ EXPAT IN CHINA |
