Re: Laksashuba resort

I've just looked at reviews on TripAdvisor and one from April says, "We loved this place but unfortunately it’s closing as of 1/6/25."

Re: General Airport/Airline News

^I've used Qatar quite a bit and I see that they announced a load of changes to their winter schedule on 25th July so I imagine you got hit by that. I don't know anything about Pegasus. Incidentally, if you have any time in transit in Doha, the huge new indoor rain forest in the terminal is pretty i...

Re: General Airport/Airline News

^I've never had changes of more than 30 minutes, or so, unless it's been caused by wars, volcanoes, pandemics, etc.
What region? I'm back at work later and can look at our flight network for any disruptions.

^Yes, I walked past that office about two weeks ago but as it was shut, I didn't really pay any attention to what it was for.

Re: Khao Tao Lake

I've discovered recently that you can now get off the path around the lake on the far side which you couldn't do when they built it.
Between Camp Loch cafe and that place with the small carousel, someone has put in some concrete and a step that gets you onto a lane that leads to the road to Had Sanoi.

Re: Walking 7,000 steps a day a huge boost to health

^Ok, the Hin Lek Fai lookout behind the city. I used to cycle up there 20 years ago but a more gentle form of exercise is required now!
I’ll try a walk up there on the trails though, where do you start from?
