morphious

Out of curiosity, why would one live in Pattaya but then drink at a pub that is very similar to a pub back home, with no Thai-specific entertainment on offer? I'm curious. And also a little concerned, because I don't want to end up that way!

At first I suspected that people would pop in and out of that place to 'cool off' as it were from other activities, but this doesn't seem to apply, as I see the same faces attached to the same seats pretty much every day.

Simple, its not a lady bar so you dont get pestered when you just want to have a beer etc, personally i have a lot of friends who frequent the bar for just those reasons, you will be telling me next that you only watch thai tv eat thai food and sing thai karaoke next.

bad news Snowball passed away early december

Plenty in the clansman soi 6

Make second road two way, are you deranged???? The road is hardly big enough to support traffic going one way!

If Thailand is "too expensive for Australians', wouldn't it be too expensive for Chinese, Indians and Russians too?

Bali is only a very short distance by plane from Darwin, Australia. Believe me , Bali is still a fantastic place for tourists and expats. I have been visiting there for the last 30 years.

Agreed

Disgracefull fix plain and simple

Stop international aid now!!!!!!

These countries are more than happy to take our money but turn there back on us when there is also money to line there pockets.

Absolute fix, trully disgracefull.

When you can get 2 weeks all-inclusive in the Carribbean for 699 quid what possible attraction has Thailand to offer....flights are through the roof and then when anyone gets here they are paying more than Paris/New York prices for everything because the BOT is keeping the Baht so strong. Value for money, it aint here anymore.

here here

On 9th December last year the Kbak TT rate was a fraction over 54 baht to the GBP.

Today it was 46.57 about 14% down in a year.

Painful but to me survivable though I have cut back on a lot of things.

Me too, i do miss cheese

I always go through non uk passport holders with my wife never any problems.

Seriously where is this written??????????????????????????????????????

Police Order 2008.pdf

2 YEARS OUT OF DATE

Seriously where is this written??????????????????????????????????????

<deleted> its 15 days!!!!!!!!!!!

He has a normal tourist visa so can extend 30 days on that permitted to stay time. He will have to have the permitted to stay stamp transferred into the new passport and notation of the visa made in it. Once that is done he can extend for 30 days in a normal manner using TM.7 form and paying the 1,900 baht fee. There is no charge of the transfer but a small form to fill out.

WHAT????? you can extend a tourist visa stamped at BKK for another 30 days by doing what, Jomtien soi 5 and paying the usual cost , i dont think so or have i had 1 too many leos tonight and not understood your explination

A Tourist Visa can be extended for a further 30 days at Immigration. 1,900 Baht.

since when?

Still think its only 15 days with a visa run

You have flown to Bkk 50 times and dont know the free wifi.....................................<deleted>

Ok post closed ( please you lovely mods )

Dmax said hes made a mistake loosing his deposit so get off his back, go and complain to to the supermarkets that a small piece of cheese should not be 275 baht <deleted>

Beers are on you pal especially when ya come back from the rigs!

Single entery visa =30 days so why are you going to get another 30 days? It will not be a problem for your passport, as when landing in BKK etc they take a photo as we all know and swipe your passport at the same time, i think the only issue you have is your not going to get another 30 days unless things have changed since yesterday, i could be soooooooo wrong

Any way when the wife winges about the street vendors making up there prices on a daily basis never mind the bars, supermarkets and fuel stations i know then its getting rediculous,(wife thinks in pounds in case anyone asks ) so 46.7 return at the art shop this morning, we still do not see why there is such a massive change over the last 2/3 years, did Arnold Swartzaneeger come to town with his Terminators looking for Sarah Connor????????

P.s........ ill be back

I think that you mean the Baht reaches yearly high

If there is such a thing as the high season this year, More foreign money coming into the country is going to push the Baht even higher.

So don't expect any improvement in the exchange rate in the near future.

Sorry everyone i meant the pound to the baht, Spannky bot bot for me i always presume everyone is thinking GBP bearing in mind my avatar gives a clue or seven.

Anyway good comments but really,............. i still dont get it. :jap:

Dont bother to wear any sunscreen, sit anywhere and hey presto, burnt within a mozzies dick you will be, which incedentally will be the size of yours if you carry on............... ''Dont feed the trolls'' springs to mind

I just do not get it!!!!!

I own quite a large boat, what u say i start a gang we all hire every jet ski on the island and tow them all away? Tow them to cambodia sell them for 3000 a piece.
