Re: Scoot Launches Gatwick to Bangkok at £170
Would not worry about the flight crew as they will have to be fully qualified as any major airline. A very close friend of mine is a Captain for a low cost airline but is paid similar salary for our biggest airline.

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19
I'm located in western Canada and have had two Pfizer shots, for the two days after each shot felt rotten as many of my friends here have, be it AZ, Moderna or Pfizer. I truly believe it has nothing to do with being asian, black or white

Re: Govt, China envoy discuss arms maintenance depot
China is dangerous, South China Sea expansion, breaking agreements about Hong Kong, African involvement. If Thailand and Laos are not careful with the Chinese financing dams and high speed rail they may well become only a Chinese province 25 years down the road.

Re: Hua Hin airport due for upgrade
The airport in its currant state can with ease handle A-320 and Boeing 737 aircraft, the A-320 requires a takeoff distance of about 1850 meters with a normal load and a landing distance of about 1500 meters to land, a 737 is similar, what does change these numbers would be on very hot days.

Been reading and enjoying the forum for over fifteen years but never posted, currently stuck on the dark side of the world due to the covid. Bought into the whole Thai program, house, wife, son and crazy english cocker spaniel. Only hope that with the coming vaccine can go home to Huahin. I'll try n...
