Just been taking it easy in Bangkok. Hanging with friends. Drinking a beer or two. A foot massage. My stomach is doing great. Funny thing about that is I am thinking about going to Cambodia, Phnom Penh and my travel book says that 75% of street food ... Read more >

Cathay Pacific

THAILAND | Friday, 27 Jun 2008 | Views [62]

I like this airline, but the new seats blow. I got to complain. At the start the seats rest slighly forward, about 2-3 degrees from 90. The contour is form shorter people. There is no recline. The seat's bottom moves forward. I hope you are able to have ... Read more >
