Nest of Vipers

Ok, so yesterday I went Phuket Old Town to big Kasikorn Bank (this branch opens 08.30) My 800k baht is in a 12 mth Fixed deposit account, I dropped 2K in Monday (knowing it takes 24hrs to update on the system for deposit at kasikorn) I also dropped 2k in yesterday - (I wanted to see what it would show when they generated the statement) I then went to the other desk to get my Letter & statement & copies of Account book info page & statement page. Went over to Immigration and as OP room 103 had papers checked, waited about 10mins, called to IO, she went through my application, asked is this deposit account? I said yes... she ticked off a few things, asked would I like to have re-entry permit processed at same time by them (Single for 1500B) I said no thank you, then gave me a card said come pick up tomorrow at 2pm. I was way-laid so attended Immigration at 14.00hrs was not many in room 103 and was a nice sunny day. I shall take OPs advise collect shortly & do my own re-entry permit today. Thanks again OP for making my first extension easy.

Well, too ill to attend hearing, but at moment they are all in Monaco... So you really think they will ever end up in a prison? Mmm..., millionaires convicted but escape punishment? Now where have we heard that before... Money No1

That makes sense, my bank assured me that customers do not have problem using the fxd deposit account for Immigration 800k. Again thanks for up to date info

Thanks for this update at Phuket Im there next week for exact same - also will be using fixed deposit a/c at Kasikorn (only thing has been irking me is Kasikorn tell me, on fxd deposit a/c it takes 24 hrs to show new balance update on system, so I was goin to deposit 1k baht day before & hope is ok for IO. Bank tell me is no problem many customer have no problem with IO using this account) 800k been sat in there just for Visa, no transactions. Can anyone give advise on this?

RIP to the guy who passed, was on a holiday with his wife to Australia. there for the grace of god we all go, but yes when not needing the Dunnie or exercising to help prevent DVT, is a good practice to keep your seatbelt on as Cpts & XOs always advise over intercom at start of flight, good to see Swampy appeared to handle it well

Iv done ok on Rolls Royce, still doing well... have been thinking same about Boeing... As Buffet says buy quality at a good price for the long term

A complete Bell End!

V UK, most toiletries especially deodorants, decant quality Cheddar Cheese (just crap here & expensive) Quality Wine, Cider - IMO beer is about same price - no way is it cheaper unless you live in London Pomegranate, quality lettuce, oranges, apples. some Veg way dearer. Butter/Spread. Vimto, good cordial... Robinsons imported not the foreign rubbish its Rank to the British palate pmsl rest is covered... Main advatge - why would you want to live in a $ hit Hole like the UK? its a no brainer...

I Wager a 'Rushing Russian' been a few on bikes & cars heading North on that road between Patong - Kamala over cooking things last few mths, if its the Big rocks on Kamala side you can hardly miss them, obvs this guy didn't

Ditto, worked in UK Rail Industry 30+ years delivered Fire Safety Training, same as above all extinguishers labelled up dated of test/Inspection - & who by (our own or outside Co) with a Seal tag intact. We had our own Service Centre to Test/Re-fill/Re-Cert and yes old out of date ones some we would use for Demo/Practical traning. Dry Powder always give a Good shake before use lol...

Does appear the suitcase wheels got caught up and damaged the Travellator End Guard Combs causing a failure of the end step support bolt, the poor lady's foot/leg then being fed into the mechanism. As someone mentioned luggage/cases should be behind the user on Travellators in case of any issues Re catching/getting caught up which could occur with any moving parts what-ever safe guards are in place. People ultimately need to take care of themselves when using anything, things like using mobile phones, hand held gadgets, ear buds/head phones etc are all Risk raisers. AOT not at fault IMO, but have said they will assist the lady (I am not saying she was on a phone or anthing else just pointing out what lots of people do in everyday life that strikes me as stupid)

Wow is this still doing the rounds... Who cares? Wear what you want, how you want, when you want - its LOS No one really gives a Hoot and thats great

Of course hooker is an Americanism for a Prostitute, apparently named after one 'General Hooker' in the American Civil War, who could always be found enjoying himself in 'Houses of ill-repute' Cricket - As an Englishman I never got it? still don't, as said: Paint, Dry, Boring...

I live in Patong, all the Russians who were living near me (and they were all pleasant nice people BTW) have all just disappeared about six or seven weeks ago. There was about five couples and two single lads all in the 21-35 age group over a fortnight they all slipped away...? I know a couple of the lads not long before this had done a border bounce down to Satun so they must have had valid stay?? IMO there is no way it is as busy as it was two months ago - Bangla etc/ West Coast beaches are deffo not as busy so dont know where all this influx are going Tat? 555

Whenever Iv had cause to put my finger into a greasy box whether something coated in the Good O'l Colonels blend of 11 secret herbs & spices or a willing lady who was up for some Jiggery/Pokery there was never a 'mis-communication' LOS

yes but the buses are not much use if the stops are no where near your room hence why they are not a main method by most who cant be bothered Re; Chipbutty - Dunno it was a US friend on why home, av not heard anything about issues dropping off lately at Phuky...

If he has done as reported then he is a Bell End however its very rare someone starts smashing windows and or doors of houses at random - more to this story than meets the eye me 'thinks Having as a 'Brit' spent many a good time (November Carnival anyone?) in Benny can safely report have never seen anyone smashing up houses etc... just a good time normally involving friendly Yorkshire ladies (what happens in Benny -Stays in Benny pmsl) but anyroad lets not let that get in the way of a good bit of Brit Bashing... Rule Britannia!! 555

Patong to airport by Bolt 450 baht... ystday Cheapest Taxi quote was 800b 555

Ditto; reports said gunman pulled up along side - so why walk around to shoot through Windshield? Would of thought easier to shoot through drivers side window (closer range more chance of hitting target) And Kazak guy they've collared on his way out looks a bigger frame than the dude who was on the bike in CCTV still. Well there goes the neighbourhood... Bang Tou'ski

Because he was wearing a Crash Helmet 555

And travelling through at least three international boarders on a fake Passport - yeah he deffo an innocent misunderstood man who didnt mean to squeeze the life out a man on hol with his family who asked him to turn the noise down a bit when he was drunk and being a knob... P O S

I do exactly as Dr Jack, after taking his sound advice few months back; Fixed Deposit a/c Kasikorn Bank , I just leave 800k in it then deposit 1k when req then update book (just had my 12 mth extension through in Phuket -All Good)

I use (convert) all my docs to jpegs on Thai visa online site for uploads - seems pdfs may cause issues on some Govt sites

They should cut their Jacobs off! That would teach them ooh' hang on a minute...?
