I have been going to Thaifly to buy my travel tickets to Thailand but lately they have not been answering my emails or faxes and their website is not generating flight information.  

If any of you know of a website or travel agency that offers a good rate for travel to Thailand from the Philadelphia (PHL) airport for the month of October/November, I would appreciate your sharing the tip with me.

Thanks!

I will be visiting Bangkok and Pattaya for 4 weeks.  Can anyone suggest which carrier I should get service through?  I have an iPhone 4. (Unlocked/Jailbroken from USA).  

Thanks!

I am coming to Thailand with a Iphone 4 locked to AT&T.  Do any of you know where I can get it unlocked when I am in Bangkok or Pattaya?

I know it takes a micro sim card, not the regular size sim.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been to Thailand but I have never been to....  

Is there anyplace that you are sad to say you have not visited while in Thailand?

I have never been to see the Gold Buddha or the Kings Palace.  Before I ever set foot in Thailand I saw pictures of the floating market and felt I had to see it.  Well I have been to Thailand many times but never tried to see the floating market.

Also I have never been to see the Tiffany show and don't know if I can ever force myself to sit through it.

On this trip I plan to book a 2 or 3 day tour to wipe away my shame  

I for one am no fan of Thailand’s dual pricing for foreigners and non-Thai alike.  It is not a consistent policy in the kingdom as many places have one standard price for both Thai and Non-Thai patrons.

I speculate that dual pricing came about due to visitors to Thailand throwing their money around to a degree that many realized that foreigners didn’t seem to care if they paid a higher price for goods and services that was 2, 3, 4 and 5 times higher (or more) than what the average Thai would pay.

When I was last in Thailand visitors and vacationers were so happy while on holiday they were more than willing to tip waiters, 7-11 workers and Duncan Donuts staff equal to or higher than their daily wages without a second thought.  With money being thrown around such as that any person in business would want to raise their prices as their customers were giving them more than the asking price, but the locals could not pay the higher price.  One way to solve the problem would be to have 2 prices.  One price for tourist with lots of cash and a shadow (lower) price for locals.

Do you think I could be onto something?
