These visa runs are a disaster waiting to happen. I go on them, I have to, but Im seriously looking into making my own way next time.

are you disqualified if you pee in the bath?

no, it is encouraged

The published premiums are just that - they will not discount. I used the Thai Visa Brokers and got their ACS $1m plan - best value for money from I can see

How much?

And where can I find the info / get a quote?

Thanks

Wow I didnt realise this had made the news back in the UK. I know Carl - he's a real nice lad. I was with him only a few hours before this happened. Was shocked when I heard.

My thoughts are with Carl and his family, and I wish them all the very best for a full and speedy recovery.

sum num naa jetski boys

good luck

time of the month, spoonman?

a bridge to the mainland, now we're talking......

If anyone is taking this even remotely seriously I think its safe to safe that they have been sat in the sun too long whilst consuming too much Chang. This is the most ridiulous thing I have heard in Thailand yet.

^^^^^ that post made me all warm inside ^^^^^

I love this thread.

p.s. you also forgot to add;

6. They are all run by the mob, who price fix in an attempt to extract as much cash out of tourists as possible.

Avoid the taxis if you can. You will not find an honest one.

What a pathetic statement! The reason why the taxis on Samui cost what they do is not that there are no "honest one(s)" here but:

1. The price of cars in Thaialnd is higher than in most Western countries.

2. The cost of gas is on par with Australia, Singapore, more expensive than USA and less than Europe. So very global price.

3. The roads in Samui are crap and that badly impacts on car maintenance costs, including flat tyres and broken shock-absorbers.

4. Places like Samui or Phuket are much less congested than Bkk and taxis have to charge return fee since in 95% of cases they will be coming back empty from where they delivered their passengers.

5. Because of relatively high taxi fares (comparing with Bkk only) Thais hardly use taxis here making their customer base even smaller.

Get real! Compare taxi prices in Australia, UK, USA and Samui and stop winging! Or if you really think taxis are a rip-off here buy yourself one and start an "honest" taxi business and see what money YOU can make out of it. And what prices will YOU be happy driving around for. I bet you would be most expensive taxi on the island very shortly!

Whats the name and number of your taxi company notime? I assume you are a taxi man after that rant.

I actually had a good giggle reading your post. Your logic is mind numbingly stupid. What you have basically just said is "taxis charge too much, therefore people cannot afford them, thereofre they charge more". Do you realise how simple you sound?

No it is quite the opposite but to deep for you d to understand apparently.. I guess your saying they couldn't be prepared and bring their own water for example??

How is this relevant to tootsie ball?? Not only are you once again way OFF topic but I have more trophies in Soccer in both indoor and outdoor then you could ever wish for and semi-pro experience to back it up as well. What about you? Before you attack my Semi-pro context we didn't have any Pro divisions at that time.. I was also a licensed FIFA referee as well..

JFYI you're the troll here, not me I just made a benign post and you trolled it..

If you had used the word football and not that american made up word, then your post here would have sounded so much more impressive, and you would have sounded like you knew what you were talking about. But, sadly, you chose to use the word "soccer" and instead sounded like a typical american who knows nothing about football.

Does anyone have any advice on travel options from Samui to Cha-Am please?

(with approx prices for each option if known would be a great help)

thanks

no such luck with 2nd hand parts for me, had a new one fitted, 4k baht, so no not cheap, but priced as expected.

Driving from the traffic lights south of Tesco - towards the lake in Chewang. Immediately after the Collage of Tourism - on the right hand side. Small garge - very skilled mechanically and very cheap.

He does not speak a word of English though. Show him the probelm with the car - no problem.

Ironically, after reading this thread yesterday my car broke down last night. New gasoline pump needed. Its currently with the guy you suggested here.

If they have an Amazon coffee, that could be our secret society rendezvous point.

I know what you guys are saying is the correct procedure,this is how I got my car licence.But I also heard of many people just producing their UK, US, AUS licences & just doing the sight one. I did that with my bike licence.

Going there Tuesday, will check it out for you.
