Khao San Rd Food Recommendations

This post is going to be updated regularly. I am no food connoisseur so I won’t describe the delicious flavours or taste mistakes that I have experienced. Instead menu items at the various restaurants I frequent get a yes or no vote. There are also ‘yes yes’ and ‘no no’ categories for the very good and very bad.

Pacific Airlines become Jetstar Pacific

Jetstar Airlines have moved into the rapidly expanding Vietnam tourism market by re-launching there as Jetstar Pacific, removing the Pacific Airlines name from the airline they set up in Vietnam to complete with Vietnam Airlines.

Jetstar Pacific have big plans for the airline to become a leader in the Asia region, “From 2008, Jetstar Pacific will expand its network with more domestic and international flights into South East Asia. In six coming years, our fleet will grow up to 30 Airbus aircrafts. In 2014 Jetstar Pacific’s network will cover most countries in Asia.”

Local Mobile Phones in Thailand

If you are heading to Thailand and want to have mobile phone access as well as internet on your phone it is really easy to achieve and cheap cheap.

I use AIS’s 1-2-Call service for my local number in Thailand so this post only relates to their service. 1-2-Call is a prepaid service and you can buy refill cards from any 7-Eleven and loads of other places. To buy a SIM card visit an AIS shop. There are a few choices including a SIM card that maintains credit for 1 year – good if you are visiting Thailand often.
