My husband like a bit of adventure. We decided to go to Thailand during the Christmas holidays and were glad we did. Flights: We flew out of Heathrow with Emirates and flew economy class. However, economy was like flying 1st class! We got real wet warm flannels upon take off, generous and comfortable seats, as well as personal tv screens.

So, you must just be patient. Taxi to Pataya: We had a taxi booked to go to our hotel. ...

Pattaya is a booming beach and recreation resort two hours drive from Bangkok that is all things to all people. Friends of mine have a bar there and I have been visiting most years for 15 years. I have seen phenomenal growth, fields changed to buildings, building knocked down and rebuilt. You can never be sure what will be there when you return. To package tour operators it's a beach resort they can sell cheaply with pictures of a palm tree backed beach on a blue sea and promises of a glimpse at the mysterious east. If a beach holiday is what you are looking for do not book Pattaya. The beach is long but narrow and the water is filthy. If you are happy to ...
