Jump to postTop notch report once again Chris! Alas, I missed out on the new J seats on Austrian with their knackered A340-300 on my way back from London. Ah..
Cheers again, coffee soon!

Ah, the nostalgia of Don Muang! Has the new (or the proposed) regulation against "visa-runners" affected you at all? Can't say I envy you, the day trip to Cambodia sounds like a right pain in the backside.
Nice to see that you're still globetrotting, keep 'em coming!

Great report as always Chris! Loved the security breach, although I'm guessing you played the innocent farang card . Looks like I've missed a pretty exciting opportunity, ah well!

Jump to postFrom Ben:
I would post back but I can't sort out my account! We weren't hiding, we were just having a quiet weekend. I hadn't seen Dave or Phil for a year or so, and so wanted to spend the time I were in't north catching up with those guys.
A message from Ben (British767):
Just got back home. My special thanks go to Phil and Dave for making it a great, chilled-out weekend, after a stressful week!! Thanks to all who went, was nice to see you all even if I was keeping a low profile.

Thanks again.
