  1. Having lived in the area for a number of years { I don't no more } the airport is situated at the junction that takes you into the village of Bung Nam Tao on the opposite side.

     

    Knowing the area and how cheap the bus is to Bangkok I find it hard to believe this new route will be popular enough amongst the local population, that said I would certainly use it I travelled frequently over the years between Petchabun and Bangkok more often than not in a taxi for 4000 baht one way.

     

    Local folk much prefer the 325 baht bus ride which takes 8 hours on a good day.

     

    Transport links upon arrival at this airport are non existent as well so its certainly aimed at the local market I wonder how long these flights last before they are pulled, i mean the flight itself to Bangkok will be around 30 minutes I would imagine now that is great.

     

    If anyone on here decides to use it let us know how the trip goes cost etc.

  2. It would have been ok but now you've announced it to the Thai visa immigration police you may be in a spot of bother.

    Do what you have to do and keep it to yourself no one needs to know anything least of all thousands of wanna be immigration officers on the internet.

  3. Recurring problem which with a continuing ageing ex pat population here will only become more prevalent as the years go on.

     

    Thailands a lovely place to live if you can afford it but when you start factoring children and education and health care and western living standards into the equation there are far to many people here who in reality can't actually afford to be here it's plain as day I'm afraid.

     

    If you don't mind taking risks in life and being here on a shoestring budget happy days,if you care to have a lifestyle resembling that of your home country one must ensure the supply of cash is continuous and ample enough to cover you for emergencies,repatriation home etc etc one should always carry a get out of jail free card.

     

     

  4. ^"What's the point in using ilikehd outside Thailand when other global services with same channels are available for less?"

    Such as?




    Sportmania on the android box it's 4 quid a month and shows absolutely everything,as it's a subscription service they have their own servers meaning no buffering or interruptions.
  5. You will be hard pressed finding anything decent in Phetchabun for Xmas dining.

     

    Most people will do their own thing or go down to the resorts.

     

    Didnt that London Cafe gaff close down I've not been there since April.

     

    I lived in Lom Sak for many years.

  6. Absolute joke result last week,sorry Alfie i was in Tenerife and haven't been to prominent on the board since my return to the UK rest assured I was ready to post lol.

     

    Tough one this week against Utd,certainly not the start to the season I was looking for I know that much.

     

    On the plus side my ton on Monaco in champions league was a nice little earner and will undoubtedly turn the rest of Tottenhams season into the usual Spursday night disaster it has been for a number of years now.

  7. No change here then from the the " he should have been wearing a helmet brigade "

    The very same people who move to Thailand because of the nanny state back home I presume.

    Isn't this the appeal for many here the freedom to do as you like.

    The guy was 44 ,old enough to decide for himself he paid the ultimate price for his decision although no one knows if a crash helmet would have saved his life.
