The same thing happened to me,,,you need to return to the point, of entry as your arrival/departure card is missing as well,,mine was dealt with fairly quickly and my original dates for my visa,,NON B,,however as i was due to do a 90day run 3 days after my passport was stolen i was hit for a 20k overstay, as it took 56 days from report, apply new passport and get dicked around on Samui not realising i had to return to BKK,,,the police report didn't matter,,i was interrogated and ordered to pay !!!!!!!!!!

sorry, but where is NAN ???

300 thb a pill seems a bit steep !!!!! must be top end stuff for that money as no ordinary Thai would spend or afford that much !!!!! or is it yet another incidident of the BIBs, upping the value for another Mutley medal !!!!!

""dismantle them at haste.""
didn't think Thailand and haste were compatible,,,,,so Thai time it is then???

..
Only thing is i am the only guest,,but the staff enjoy having a drink with me in the evening.
...
Really? That's pretty cool -- have to try it some time... Is it central? They have a website? On hotels.com?
www.aquariushouse.com although it is a rather outdated web site,,but try it,,you might like it!!!

Thanx guys for your help,,however i found a gem gay only hotel called Aquarious Guesthouse. Really quaint, a bit old and dated but clean, quiet and great staff, well there is only 2.
Hot coffee and toast and fruit for breakfast. Located on soi suan phlu sathorn, close to babylon.
Only thing is i am the only guest,,but the staff enjoy having a drink with me in the evening.
Don't expect an entourage of sexy boys, but just clean rooms and good service.
Apparently this place used to be buzzing years ago , shame really as it has a nice garden and relaxed feeling, a real home from home.
All for just 850thb a night!!! BARGAIN

ANY job offer?
I thought sleaze wasn't welcome here? ...... maybe the classifieds section would be more appropriate ...
just thought ""The Family"" would be of more help,,but once again TV fails us ALL!!!!

yes i have noticed that seems to be thai style. everyone is skint due to currency issues and the thais are putting their prices up.
I know one business which separated and became rivals. thats 2 business selling the same thing exept one of them put their prices up and now is empty. Harly suprising and the other shop is full.
As for the gazzete It is better than the express but it is not up to Phuket standard and other main city local paper standards and they are abpout 20 to 25 baht but they are full of local news.
Maybe with gas going up so is the cost of paper and everything from eggs to plane tickets.
are great another excuss for BBK airways tyop up their prices
also did u read that 10 and a half things about bangkok airways airport in samui. it was an interview with Bangkok airways.
They make me laugh. there ecuss for charging for parking is to get ride of taxi touts. so basically it is alright for BBK airways to rip us off but not for anyone else.
they seemed to want to branch out their manoloply. Also the taxis are still there they just block the loading bay. pathetic.
As for the other things i can't remeber all i can remeber is that we pay the bill for all the fancy airport lounges in thailand and as for cutting their prices in half for sonkhran exept samui airport is just a disgrace bt i would complain but who is going to listen and do something. maybe a facebook account for antie BBK airways
I am looking for a job as an English teacher if that heps

Hey guys, i have just poted my return to BKK, any ideas on a cheap gay or gay friendly B&B or guest house, unfortunately i am on a budget not like the heady days of before when i had my restaurant.
I usually stay at Tarntawan, so anywhere that area is good.
Thank you

Hi Everyone, I am returning to Bangkok from Cambodia. I am seeking employment, i used to own my own guest house in Egypt, a successful bar/restaurant on Koh Samui for 5 years, and am a qualified English teacher and been teaching here in Cambodia since September.
I wish to return to Thailand, so any Job offer would be considered. I am only 45 and well educated and traveled.
Please PM me for full resume.
Thank you
Jonathan

yes, they have had a worrying amount of incidents, since moving there maintenance,,although you could argue,,,,they stilll have not had a crash and loss of life,,,,, :jap:
However i have been flying since 1973,,when jets had to stop 3 times to refuel to get to OZ from LHR,,,,but i would not fly Qantas,,,surly it is only a matter of time ???
But i will praise all of the pilots, who must wonder what is going to happen next,,but get their planes and passengers on the ground safely,,,,even if there are a few skiddies!!!
-
ultimately u can PM me or not,,,,be scammed or not,,,,do something or not,,,all i am doing is giving you the info i know, but i don't know it all, and would never claim too.
you really must take a moment to consider what you really want to do, and how you want to do it,,,money spent, or not spent,,,,,,what in the end you want out of it!!!!
"" whatever"" to tell your friends ,,,or do you have the true desire in your heart,,,,,,as i can direct you into areas that will scare the whatever out of you, but they need the help nobody gives, because they are scared,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,really consider if you want to be a "" DO GOODER"" or do something of value??? frankly the elephants don't need your money as there are many ""DO GOODERS"" before you,,,,,,,what do you REALLY want to do ???????????????????????????????????????????????? There is no right or wrong answer as whatever you do will be far more than anybody really does,,,,,,,,but seriously sit and think,,,what your true objective is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,feel good or do good,,,,,,,,??????
sorry if i sound harsh,,but so many before you are misguided in there own minds""
There are many organisations,,,,,but just take a moment,,,,pay money equals feel good,,,,,,,,give time equals did good !!!!!!!!!
If you have the money and time take your TEFAL and come teach kids english,,,for free!!!
rant over
For now!!!! hehe

i can not recommend an agent, although it is relevantly easy to do it all your self ,,,however i would recommend flying, unless you want to sen HOURS and HOURS of bum and mind numbing bus miles !!!! Trust me just Phnom Penh to Battembang is long enough !!!!!
-
adding to my previous post the ""sanctuary"" also has a Trip advisor page,,,and it is worth reading ALL the reviews, as there are some interesting reviews that DON"'T rate it at all !!!
Another place that may be of interest is Baan Gerda Orphanage for kids with or affected by HIV. I tried to get there myself once, but time etc etc blah blah !!!!! They have a facebook page.

www.elephantnaturepark.org/volunteer/index.htm
How strange, was just randomly watching Animal Planet and this was featured,,,you don't seem to pay,,but it is more like an Eco holiday so you get accommodation and food for your money !!!!!!
If you come to Battembang i would be happy to meet up with you,,,again there are orphanages who will be happpy just for yyour time rather than money alone !!

mmm why don't you volunteer in Cambodia,,for sure they need it more,,,and are far more grateful !!! also they don't make you jump through hoops for you to give your own time.
I lived in Thailand for 5 years and IMHO if they just took reasonable care of the elephants, as they do here they don't need volunteers.
I currently teach in the North West of Cambodia ( Battembang ) not voluntarily, but i give some time when i can to teach for free
I have volunteered at an orphanage in Phnom Penh ( SFODA, check it out on facebook,, ) as have friends of mine,,,they don't charge you anything,,,so any monies you were going to get scammed for you could put into the kids,,,,,shoes, bikes, cloths, sports things, just a day out for them means the world and costs very little as we did just last weekend.
Of course just an idea,,if you are hell bent on Elephants, then elephants it will be.
Either way i commend your intentions.

Reminds me of the time i went to A&E with a bottle of ketchup stuck in my bum,,,when asked "" how did this happen??"" i innocently replied somebody left it o the kitchen chair !!!!! MMMM not sure the nurse believed me EITHER !!!!!!!!!!
-
i think it is called Thailand, and all the little people who help serve the tourists are F***ed !!!!
-
sorry don't know how to highlight a quote,,but the previous poster mentions the vultures,,and you are right,,,which is why i bow out when the bluebirds are still singing.
Don't get me wrong i wouldn't have missed Samui for the world, mad , sad and enlightened,,,the one thing though i never needed to do was any under the table money,,i often wondered how one did that,,???? and why it was i didn't
Oh yes and sorry no more Supermarket watch unless i do it from where ever and using the same products,,just to see if i am seeing it right, that the grass is greener on the other side!! Right off to the Brie counter like the masked marvel !!

over four and a half years ago i landed on Samui to start my new life and business, and i always remembered an expat who came into my bar, with nothing else to do but moan and whinge about Thailand, Samui and the people. I asked him if it's that bad why does he stay and his reply was " well the Chang is cheap!!!" i felt sorry or him,,that he only stayed in HIS misery for the price of beer. I also vowed i would never become like him.
Yes i could go on about how the worst things that have ever happened to me have happened here,,but it serves no purpose.
Well over the last year or so i have seen my business slowly disappearing under me,,once voted the number 1 thing to do on Samui on Tripadvisor, with more than 150 review in various mediums, listings in Lonely Planet and Frommers etc. I have found myself becoming sceptical,,never hating Thailand, Samui or the People,,but sometimes they just don't get it!!!!
I have recently started selling stuff, pick up etc to pay the rent, have tried to sell my bar, but every bar on Samui is for sale, so no luck there.
So sadly i close with a little bit of something rather than a whole load of nothing but the memories.
Yes i do believe Thailand and Samui are buggered for a few years yet,,a few years i cannot afford to wait.
So i move to a place where we are more welcomed, where we don't have to jump through hoops to stay and where you can own your own business outright. No it hasn't the beauty of Samui, but the people as yet do not view us as walking ATM machines.
I leave owing nobody nothing but thanx for there friendship and business and happy times.
So goodbye and farewell

mmmm Saweng,,,whilst the man is good,,,his prescription actually made my eyes worse, went back he said i could have a refund,,so went back next day and his ( i think sister) psycotic sister went mad at me,,throwing my money back saying " this isn't how business works" although wish i had stuck at it,,my beer goggles not as good as they were!!!!
-
I have to say, that i went to the Lady in Nathon whilst i was having the problem and she could.t diagnose anything,,but still seemed to cost me 1500thb, then went to the one next to Makro,,not knowing it was her husband,,and when i said i had been to the one in Nathon who didn't get it,,,he seemed totally disinterested!!!!! all seems to have cleared up on it's own though!!
