Airport Security? Cods!

14 March 2008 – 10:36

I’ve been travelling. I left Saudi Arabia on Sunday night and flew to Dubai, Bangkok, Sydney, then back to Bangkok and now I am sitting in Dubai prior to flying back to Saudi Arabia. So, that is five days, two airlines and four airports, twice over. The flights were Emirates (VERY nice airline) from Saudi [...]

Saving Money Travelling

19 October 2007 – 15:34

Thomo’s touring at the moment. Currently I am in Bangkok getting three months supply of pork and beer in (Oktoberfest seems a perfect time to do that of course).
Whilst here I booked a couple of day tours. Heading to the tour desk at the hotel we organised a trip to the floating market and the [...]

Royal Thai Air Force Museum

16 June 2007 – 10:07

After much mucking around over the past year or so, I finally have the Royal Thai Air Force Museum photos back on line in a gallery and accessible to those that can’t get to Thailand to have a look for themselves.
This is one of the best Aircraft Museums I have visited around the world [...]

Songkran 2007 - สงกรานต

23 April 2007 – 6:51

It was the 13th of April for 4 days. Songkran is Thai New Year and I was lucky to be here this time. In the past I have managed to pass through Thailand a few days before but never had the chance to stay here for it.
Songkran (สงกรานต) is the New Year in the Thai [...]

Happy New Year to My Kazakh Friends

6 April 2007 – 19:04

I forgot - over a week ago it was New Year for the Kazakh folks that live in the west of Mongolia (and, I guess, in Uigur A.R. in China and in Kazakhstan). The New Year holiday in the west of Mongolia is known as Nauriz Kozhe (I think) and it occurs in March each [...]

Talking about Thomo’s Baggage Flies Further Than Thomo

11 October 2006 – 6:11

For those of you who were interested, the bags did not turn up to the Hotel. At 9:00 pm, after a Pizza from Ronnie’s New York Pizza in Sukhumvit Soi 4, I went to the airport. My bag had still not been seen.
At the airport I asked a Thai Airways type person where Thai Airways [...]

Thomo’s Baggage Flies Further Than Thomo

5 October 2006 – 20:30

Sunday night, Bangkok, nice new airport called Suvarnabhumi (still haven’t got my tongue around that one yet) and Thai Airlines (who had recently moved their head of Baggage Services to a desk with no responsibility). Thomo was flying from Bangkok to Sydney on the flight that left 18:15 from the airport. Thomo arrived in Sydney [...]

On the Road

8 April 2005 – 14:54

Currently Thomo is sitting in Bangkok. Tomorrow, it is on to a flight and off into Mongolia for six months. Thomo has taken up a role with the Khan Bank in Mongolia and will sit in Ulaan Baatar for the next six months. The money was the overriding concern here - the [...]
