Weekends in Bangkok 2026
These type of things happen more frequently than you'd think at hotels all around the world...Like I told Peter, no one's perfect, the people in glass houses thing? You guys all been bragging about this hotel for so long, now you're surprised that the rates are higher...you know those popular go-go's asking 5000 THB, same theory 🤷♂️

But room size..... overcompensating?

My dismal attempt at speaking Thai.
Try adding the nit noi after a pause..... the look of their faces makes me laugh so much, but you have to say it seriously so they're unsure if your joking or not 😝

Who is arriving in August
Don’t feel bad or old. If it were @PeterRS2, “reaching out” would probably be a little too modern. He’d more likely “send word by carrier pigeon, followed by a detailed six-page explanation of why everyone else is wrong.” 😝

Map of Jomtien Complex - Supertown
Thanks for actually naming the forum members who were there instead of using the clandestino “Forum Member 1” and “Forum Member 2” method. 🙏 Although one important detail is still missing… which Olddaddy showed up? With all those personalities, “Olddaddy” doesn’t really narrow it down much. And don’t you feel better now that you’ve met him in person? His posts might finally start making a little more sense. Probably not, but there’s always hope. 😂

My dismal attempt at speaking Thai.
That's my understanding.... “Law” (handsome) has a low tone and is pronounced more like “loor” than “law”. I usually say to someone I like ....Khun Loor.... a pause and then Nit Noi.....always gets a surprised reaction, They reply "Only Nit Noi ?" 😝

Boeing will plead guilty to fraud related to fatal 737 Max crashes
Thank you for the new link. Ironically, it confirms the correction rather than your original wording..... AirInsight says Lufthansa is preparing to reject “some of the early-built 777-9 aircraft allocated to it” and that Emirates “already refused the first 10 777-9s built for its fleet.” It does not say Emirates rejected “10 of its first 11 orders.” Aircraft allocated to an airline and orders placed by an airline are not the same thing 🤷♂️ So I wasn’t merely “adding additional points not in the newspaper articles.” I was pointing out that what you wrote did not accurately reflect what the articles said 🧐 If you’re going to emphasize how carefully you proofread your posts, surely checking that your summary actually matches the source is part of the proofreading 😉 I guess the lesson is that mistakes are easy to make and nobody is perfect. Probably worth remembering the next time you get worked up wondering how someone could possibly post something without proofreading it first or tagging the wrong person. 😝

Boeing will plead guilty to fraud related to fatal 737 Max crashes
You've also vowed that you always carefully proofread every post you make.... You may want to give this one another careful proofread 🧐 The FAA says the directive affects 471 U.S.-registered aircraft, not 451. It applies to certain Boeing 737-8, 737-9 and 737-8200 aircraft. The 737-8200 is part of the MAX family, essentially the higher-capacity MAX 8 variant. It is not the older 737-800. So the claim that this directive also covers the older 737-800 comes from misreading the aircraft designation ✈️ The 777X section also needs correcting. Emirates has not rejected “10 of its first 11 orders.” It is refusing particular early-build airframes produced for the airline. The Aviation Week article you linked says the first 10, while another Aviation Week report describes the initial group as 10 or 11. Either way, they are aircraft, not “orders,” and they were not all built in 2019. Three were built in 2019, four in 2020 and three in 2021 📅 Sir Tim Clark is also the President of Emirates Airline, not its chairman. Emirates’ Chairman and Chief Executive is Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. Boeing has plenty of genuine problems worth criticizing without confusing the 737-8200 with the 737-800, getting the number of affected aircraft wrong, calling early-build airframes “orders,” claiming they were all built in 2019 and giving Tim Clark the wrong job title 🤷♂️ And while we are carefully proofreading, it is spelled “worryingly,” not “Worryingy.” 😝

Travel insurance
VS paying an unknown amount of rent for a lifetime? I think they have a maximum number or days a trip could be for coverage, during that time..30-60 days...something like that, it doesn't cover an entire year abroad. Don't give @Olddaddy any ideas, he'll go to running across the busy street instead of taking a Grab now 😲

Thailand Turns Blue August 12
In a week and a half, you'll watch the whole country go blue. Flags, bunting, polo shirts, portraits. If you're new, here's what it means, and why this year carries more weight than most. August 12 is the birthday of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, and it doubles as Thailand's Mother's Day. The two were joined in 1976 because she was seen as the mother of the nation. Jasmine garlands go to real mothers that day. Merit is made at the temples. The blue is not random. In the Thai tradition of a colour for each day, Friday belongs to light blue, and Friday was the day she was born. So blue became her colour, and by August it's everywhere. What makes this year different. The Queen Mother passed away in October 2025, at the age of 93. So August 12, 2026 is the first of these since she died. Expect a quieter, more reflective tone in the ceremonies, more remembrance woven through the celebration of mothers. If you're here on the day, wearing something blue is a small gesture Thais genuinely notice and appreciate. This year especially. (Source: Thai royal and cultural custom; Queen Sirikit 1932–2025)
