I like Thai ladyboys. And I don't like the Modi/BJP Government.

Air Canada have launched first direct flight from Vancouver to Bangkok, for seasonal period - I assume that means December. Are there any direct flights from USA? I believe it is a long journey from US. https://www.thepattayanews.com/2022/12/03/bangkok-welcomes-air-canadas-seasonal-non-stop-flight-from-vancouver/

It's ok, working today.

Did you have your earplugs in bbg?

Pre-covid I could get return direct flights Heathrow-Bangkok in Jan/Feb for around £500-600. In January this year I paid £820. The main reason seems to be because BA are still not flying to Bangkok so there are only Thai Airways and Eva Air flying there direct.

The Quote function isn't working, for me anyway. I tried using the + Multiquote but that doesn't work too.

I was wrong. I should have booked then. Prices continued to rise by £10-20 every week. I booked in October for just under £1000 with Thai Airways. Those flight are now around £1600.

Some attempt to excuse racism and personal abuse as banter or 'British' humour. But it shouldn't be allowed on public online forums, and isn't on most. Yes we all have different opinions and everyone is entitled to their views, but they should be expressed in a reasonable non-abusive way. I agree that posts are often misunderstood. It's more difficult to get the way a written post is intended than when we speak to someone face to face and can judge their intent by body language and facial and tonal expression. Even where we speak a common language there can be cultural differences which can cause misunderstanding. I often don't get what an American or Australian is getting at although we both speak English. (Canadians are ok Soju!)

bbg wasn't referring to you Twest, but to another BM Rom. Feel free to post what you want to. There is more tolerance of different views on here. We don't generally get into namecalling or insults. The mods will step in if there are. But racism quite rightly isn't tolerated.

Hi @Twest. Sorry but there were way too many racist posts for me to remember them all, I'd rather forget them. But I will give you just one example. On the Brexit thread one BM posted the flag/insignia of a neo-fascist UK group, 'Britain First'. This was not removed by the moderators. It was later deleted after the poster became a Moderator himself, presumably by himself to cover his tracks. btw Welcome to lbr, good to see you here.
