    How much are flights from the UK to Thailand normally?

    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 dates I'm looking at for next January/February are currently £808 economy return booking direct with EVA. I think they will probably come down before November so I'll hold off booking for now.

    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.

    People take this shit too seriously

    Opinions are varied

    Postings are often misunderstood

    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.

    I understand I am a new guy here and I don't want to start a shit storm. But I thought the forum was a place to express opinions on a common subject. 

    I believe I can choose to post as I wish just as you can choose not to read it.

     not refering to just your post Mr Twest... i'm talking about all this stuff and nonsense concerning LBP... that's er.. PY... Rom.

    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.

    Unless you know of postings that I am not aware, I have found that racism is not tolerated on LBP.

    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.

    jeans

    I haven't worn jeans for forty years. I always thought they were for younger people and not appropriate after you are over 30 years old. I did buy a pair last week, reduced on ebay.

    But I wouldn't wear them in los. Too hot, I wear Craghopper shorts there. They have inner zipped security pockets.
