  1. standing is all about respect
  2. Norwegian embarks/disembarks at Laem Chabang but I am not aware of round trips. We are looking at a cruise that sails on 20Nov and ends up in Manila. Maybe I was not specific enough in my OP request! When you get to the port security gate, how do you access the cruise terminal? If you are going by taxi, can it just drive in and drop you off? Cannot get an answer from the cruise line. It appears to be geared up for "Fly/Cruise" where passangers are put up in hotel night before departure and bused in. Not so much locals.
  3. I am considering starting a cruise form Laem Chabang but cannot find any information anwhere on how to access the cruise terminal. I have found plenty on how the Taxis are controled by the Mafia and but nothing on how to actually get in there. Any info please.
  4. Guess the drought is canceled then! Now we wait for a politician to claim credit for it.

    Toppers!

    Index have a good selection and have sale on now.
  6. Your best Visa agent is you. So get off your ass and do it!
  7. Nothing to do with Brexit. The notice to close accounts clearly states that Barclays have chosen to close the acounts of customers with address outside the UK. Nothing to do with any banking legislation. At the same time as issuing the letter debanking you, they made anouncements of more branch closures and staff redundancies. They just want to do away with the cost of physical banks and staff handling customers and everone to use cards and QR codes which they then skim of a % of everything you spend.
  8. Most people would understand that to mean you do not have to be particularly intelegent to work out what to do to resolve your problem. Go and get a replacement licence.
  9. Don't forget to tell them about all the Gay parades. There is another one on Thursday. That is somthing the will not see at home.
  10. If you live in Thailand and sail from Laem Chabang and call into Ko Samui, Phuket and finish in Sinapore, do you need a mulitple re-entry Permit or just a single to fly back in?
  11. You can drive on a Thai licence supported by IDP it only costs 500thb but you have to go to the LTA in Chonburi with your licence, two photos and your passport. It is valid for two years. If you dont get the IDP and have an accident, it can invalidate the insurance. BS detector working here A Thai plastic photo licence is only valid for 5 years and is almost indistructable, so how can it be "a bit old and faded".?
  12. I am getting confused. Constant reference to LBGTQ. I get the Gay bit, but are Transexuals and Transvestites Gay also?
  13. I you missed the Sales at Tops & B&B on 6th June, you missed the sale of the centry. Both had clearance sales 50-70% off everthing. B&B are now selling off what is left by the pallet load just to shift it, so if you need 15 celing fans or enough taps and shower fitting to furnish a hotel. now would be a good time to get there.

    Motorcycle license

    They need to see proof of address and Passport as these details (inc passport No.) are put on the license. That is why many accept the Thai driving license as a valid ID card. You have to go to the LTA as they take a digital photo of you to print on the license. If you can find an agent who looks like the picture in your passport, you may get away with it.
  15. I applied on Weds 24 May am. Got immediate email confirming application. Got approval two hours later. My application was thru Firefox also.
  16. From my experience the staff in these motorcycle/scooter sales places are arogant Dick#eads who ignore you at best and regard you as a dog turd on there shoe. They do not offer a service as Mtiyon has got the manopoly on the business in Pattaya. It as much as the can do to get up off there ass and stop playing with their phone and ask "what do you want then. if you want any information don't waste my time asking questions I am busy watching facebook" Motorbike sales Maffia, the people of Pattaya need options
  17. Allways been a requirement in Chonburi. Only exception is they will accept a letter from the bank issued previous day if you go first thing in the morning. You also need to make a tranaction just befor the letter is issued (withdraw or add some cash) to confirm the balance shown in the book is current.
  18. The MIR card is issued by the Central Bank of Russia. Some people get their salaries paid directly onto the card. There are many more alternatives in the world to the American based Mastercard and Visa.
  19. Good to see someone is grown up enough to get somthing done themselves rather than use an agent. Well done mate!
  20. Or a Residence Certificate from Immigration
  21. Anyone know of a good refrigerator engineer. I have what was an expensive Samsung wine cooler. The Samsung service engineers replaced the MPCB and compressor but now say the problem is with the thermostats, which are no longer available. I cannot belive that the thermostats are unique to this particular model (more likely, they do not know what they are doing and make up an excuse to get out the door). I am hoping that someone who understands how these things work may be able to fix it. Thanks Oink
