dixon cox Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That was a rough trip home, but some sweet compensation for all the hassle. I'm currently in Phnom Penh but will be back in Pattaya in early March too, so perhaps there's another opportunity to get you that beer I promised. Quote Link to comment

SiamSam Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Well, you can't beat the compensation even though you went through all of that nightmarish hassle. Good for you. You should complain some more and perhaps they'll up grade you to business or first class. Certainly worth a shot. Nothing to lose. Go for it. Quote Link to comment
