xyzzy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 They will need serious political pull to end BKK Air's Thai monopoly to SR. Here is an article from the Phnom Penh Post: http://www.phnompenh...o-take-off.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdogg Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Flying Monkey commences operation on October 19th. But it's really a marketing operation. The planes are operated by Tonle Sap Airlines. http://www.tonlesapa...ule-201210.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixon cox Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Very interesting. I booked my flight out to PP from BKK for next week already, but would be interested to see how things develop in around a month's time when I may consider returning to Pattaya. I wish more airlines would make use of U-Tapau. I used it once a few years back when my flight was diverted from LHR during the Suvarnabhumi terminal take-over fiasco, it was extremely convenient.

xyzzy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I wish more airlines would make use of U-Tapau. I used it once a few years back when my flight was diverted from LHR during the Suvarnabhumi terminal take-over fiasco, it was extremely convenient. I flew into U-Tapao (UTP) once from Phuket via Saumi on BKK Air. It was a pleasant change of pace from Swampy. I am so tired of making that drive from Swampy to Pattaya. The Russians get to fly into UTP. Many of their charter flights use the airport. BKK Air charges 11,000 baht for a BKK-Siem Reap round trip if you get their lowest fare. Many tourists will likely travel to UTP for the savings. Optimistically BKK Air would lower their prices. But I still think it will be interesting to see if flying monkey can actually make this route happen. I do hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdogg Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 I am so tired of making that drive from Swampy to Pattaya. While I'm pining for the old days of taking the Bell Bus to Swampy for my Air Asia flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiamSam Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I am so tired of making that drive from Swampy to Pattaya. Yeah Boo Hoo on you. Boy oh boy what I wouldn't give to endure that horrible burden of driving from Swampy to Pattaya. I'd be happy to do it everyday. I have done it countless times and the only thing more exciting is getting on a plane and flying to LOS. Chin up xy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyzzy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Sorry I'm such a bitch. Take a ride to Pattaya and back to BKK when arriving/leaving, go to stay a few days in BKK and return to Pattaya, fly to Phuket, or Angeles City, or Phnom Penh, bus to Hua Hin (yawn). It boring as hell as I know the road too well. Now made slightly worse by some flights going out of Don Muang. Of course after four airports, three flights and about 24-27 hours it's nice to arrive anywhere. It's good to take a shit on a stationary toilet.

pdogg Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 On her recent visit to the US, the prime minister had been told it was easier for Nasa to plan a mission to the moon than come to Thailand, he said. Makes me think of New who used to work at Sally's, and now owns a salon in Jomtien. When asked where she's from the reply would often be the moon. Two articles in the news regarding NASA's use of U-Tapao. Lots of details in The Nation article saying debate is over but makes it unclear if NASA will be using the base. http://www.nationmul...U-30191644.html Bernama, the Malaysian National News Agency, has a succinct article stating NASA will be coming to Pattaya. Good posting for lucky NASA mongers. http://www.bernama.c...d.php?id=699627 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
