Amazing, do they (the cats) actually climb walls?

No, but the geckos come down sometimes. Cats are very patient killers.

Middle of the week are good days, not usually many people.

I'm sure 'proof of pension' letter is valid for 3 months although some immigration staff make up their own rules.

Here in Darwin, Australia car battery life is, to quote my local mechanic and from experience, 2-3 years, anything after that is bloody good luck! The climate here is the same as Thailand except the other way round i.e. we're just starting our wet season.

Agreed, to call someone fat in Thai is definitely no insult. My Thai wife has two daughters the younger is rather 'broad across the beam' she is sometimes referred to by her name but more often as Moo (pig). Not behind her back, to her face and is sometimes yelled out to (as only Thai ladies can!) in a crowd. My step-daughter seems to regard this as a term of endearment.

With Thai ATMs I can get 20k baht or 40k baht depending on the bank or machine (Never tried multiple transactions), if I want more I go into a bank show them my passport - they make a couple of phone calls and I get my money, card limit, NO problems.

Australian ATMs give you your card back first. When you take the card the cash comes out, lastly the balance check(if requested)
