Just received a renewed Gold Card from Thai Airways (Royal Orchid Plus). Along with some extra luggage tags, came a brochure, with discount offerings for rental cars, hotels, etc.
I have two complementary upgrades available now (RT)...and, I'm using one in September. Being my birthday month, I'm cashing in a mileage reward (50% less), for BKK/HKT/BKK...for me and my gal.
Also, I've booked a small (cheap) rental car from Avis in BKK, for 12 days (heading north). I'll get a complimentary vehicle upgrade (birthday), as well. Altogether, not bad!
In addition, I'm cashing in hotel points, for (freebie) stayovers in Korat, Ubon Ratchathani, and Pattaya.
I'll have to pay for my hotel in Patong! Geeeeeze????

You're right, you're right! What a post...."Me, me, me, I, I, I, I've, I've, etc..."
But, it is "all about ME!"
It's going to be my Birdday...and, you only turn 40, once! 5555
Happy Birthday, to Me. 55555
(Thanks Thai Airways)
