But still illegal to take revealing pics of boys, or girls, under 18!

Yes, if no incentive, cash, gifts etc!

Well I have been there!

Not really, 10 mins, at a slow waddle!

I am in Thailand twice in November, I may try the Dusit for 3 nights, and see what rate I can get, I used to be a Gold member, and what it's like! I had booked the Banyan Tree as a change from the Meredien.

And in UK, I believe.

That's the best advice!

Thaksin, the Donald Trump of Thailand!

Perhaps he doesn't know where Africa is?

OK. I hope he is there in October!

Or if he has a hard on when he showers with you!

I thought that vinapu preferred the more hunk like guys?

I hope you're not forgetting that Gran Canaria is in Spain?

Good reply!

Or 10 minute walk!

I am singed up to a travel blog which highlights how bad Emirates and Qater are when things go wrong, as opposed to their slick pr.

Can't help, sorry. No further tantalising messages from Aurora, either!

I have just flown to Berlin, short flight. No extra warning from flight deck about concerns over turbulence. I expected a comment, at least, apart the usual, rather anodyne, ' we recommend that you keep your seat belts fastened in case of unexpected turbulence '.

Of course you also could find a use for well greased cues!

Fair point. We all slot in to different levels. I was, and mostly still am, able to afford the pricier hotels. But I draw the line at the Oriental, US$ 700 a night and up. The hotels still have to be good value!

Keep the balls moving around!

Hmm. So private that table can be used for other purposes?

Further to my earlier message, I've just looked at the website for the new Dusit Thani, and even the entry level rooms, ie the cheapest, are very large, 40m². Which is impressive.

That's sad. The old Dusit was my favourite hotel, old Thai 5 star at a reasonable price. I had a feeling that this may happen. I suspect that if it is the price, they will not get many takers, and will have to reduce price. Its not as if they are on the river. I get a suite at the Meredien for 9,000baht

As mentioned before, no problem at all at the Le Meridien, even at one in the morning. Nor in the old Dusit Thani!
