I was driving south down the 36 about 1pm today & had passed under the 331 when an entourage of rescue vehicles were flying up the other way all with their blues & twos flashing.

I reckon there were at least 15 of them including one lorry with flashing lights & RESCUE emblazoned down the side of it but what was even stranger was that 5 or 6 of them had small boats on tow so I was thinking that there may have been a serious incident either in Pattaya bay or Banglamung port.

The inside of your mouth is the area of your body most vunerable to serious infection & your body will react quite violently if an infection is allowed to fester, any thing near the brain makes the body reaction rather quickly.

I don't like to take pills but on such an extraction I would & rinse with salt water gargles morning & night using clean not tap water unless boiled & allowed to cool.

Remember not to transfer the funds to Thailand in the same calendar year that it was realised or it can be taxed in Thailand as income.

Transfer on or after 1st January.

It is also law to wear a helmut when riding on a motorbike but that is not adhered to in most places.

There is a bookshop in Central shopping 4th fl on the right hand side as you enter the actual Central shop itself that sells these & other educational aids for children

Passport delivered on Wednesday.

That's nearly 16 weeks since the application & exactly 14 weeks since the biometrics, we couldn't get an earlier date without paying for the 'premium' service.

I'll report back when(if) the refund arrives.

That's really expensive. Where was that?

 

Do you know if the English Rose on Soi Pothole is still open?

I'll pop down with my phone & film it to see if it's open, I understand the fella running the place loves the camera with rumours that he's good mates with Will Smith.

I called the visa office in the UK on 0300 790 6268 & explained the situation.

The lady on the phone was very understanding & said that she was going to immediately arrange for the application to be cancelled, the passport of my lad returned & for a full refund.

She did say that there was absolutely no reason why this has overun but that it wasn't the only one & she had been made aware of a number of applications that were made between late April & early May that seemed to have fallen through the cracks & hadn't been dealt with.

Whilest not best pleased with the service that we received, I am happy with the way it has handled at the end & will report back when the passport & the refund are both sorted.

Yanks and Japs! It's not 1943!

Septics & Rusties

Try the  Queen Sirikit Hospital in Rayong.

Excellent local Thai hospital but it will mean taking a number & waiting your turn.

Prices are very very reasonable

Your topic heading is very confusing.

 

Most usually associate TT currency with what financial institutions (Banks Wise etc) refer to as the exchange rate for telegraphic transfer (TT). Hence my response.

The company TT Currency Exchange is only in Pattaya not Phuket.

 

Miscommunication on my part LL & thank you very much for the links.

NC Plus in Phuket Town 100 metres from Robinson's.

 

NC Plus (Thailand) - Phuket.Net

Wise has better rates than Bank T/T.

Currency Converter | Foreign Exchange Rates | Wise

 

I think NC Plus might be better rate than Wise but call them to check!

It for a first timer young backpacker & her friends so I need details of a booth or office.

Which currency exchange gives the best deal around town or is it much of a muchness unless you're exchanging large amounts?

Do Monzo cards work in Thailand?

What's the best deal & company for someone coming here for the first time for 30days?

They have emailed me from home & asked if they should buy a SIM at the airport but they are usually properly inflated prices there so can some advise me please?

Date required as it's a young backed type off to do 'real' Thailand on the beaches over in Phuket etc

I'm a regular at Patricks but had a the wahyu at Robin Hood the other day & it was superb at 1700THB with onions cooked in the fat & juicy mushrooms in butter & garlic.

They even do chips (fries) cooked in beef fat.
