Beng

Yep, not sure of the number of floors though. But looks pretty high rise.

Sad indeed. RIP.

Nice island but evil islanders (not all, but the good ones keep quiet).

Samui does not deserve any more farang investment....let alone the messed infrastructure.

Excuse my ignorance, but where is the Convention Centre? I know the OP said it was on Canal road but which end?

Near the 700 year stadium

Location on google maps please.

We purchased curtains from IS Curtains, their shop is behind BIG C on the Super Highway

The guy came to our house measured up, he also brought curtain material sample books, we picked the material, and in around 2/3 weeks they came fitted the curtains including poles

Good service and prices

Yep, they are good. Make shure the material is sun proof, as the colours of the cheaber stuff will fade pretty quick.

You will not take the money in cash, but have your bank issue a 'cashiers cheque' in the name of the seller.

At the land office, once you have received the chanote land title deed plus the blue book check it for your correct name and adress

(which is all in Thai, so take someone with you who can read it) and only then hand the cheque to the seller.

You need to show your passport, the visa type doesn't matter.

The reward was meant to attract the public for help. It is not meant to be given to people (police) who's job is..and are being paid, to serve justice, TIT

Those people driving public transport vehicles day in day out, still haven't got a clue.

Mekong in Luang Prabang, Laos

Kok river in Thaton, CR

400B for me too chained motorbike at Warowat. kindly reduced to a lesser charge though .. so paid 200B

are there any 'no parking ' signs ?

Why some dude wearing a jacket in the tropical Samui heat?

A freebie maybe ?

I definitely don't like the look of that baseball bat.

True, that guy belongs behind bars too.

As usual, an immigration queue topic has turned into a postal services discussion.

Very good Pat Siew and noodle soup

Great idea.

The list contains corruption almost everywhere, in sports, education, politics, transport, agriculture and the police is in it twice.

"He said it was impossible for a foreigner to come into Bangkok and would able to know where to go and how to hike motorcycle across the bridge."

How does one hike a motorcycle? This sentence has me quite stumped

Indeed a truly qualified remark.

Went and did my 90 day reporting this morning. Got to immigration about 10.15. Was out by 11.05. I was one of the last. I think if I had gone at 1 pm, there would have been zero wait. Only a few people waiting for other extensions, but no long ques. Annual Retirement renewal she said they do only 20 a day, so for the annual renewal you need to get there very early, get an agent, or have an appointment.

Way too many retirees for that to work!

Exactly. It takes only 10 min to check the required paperwork.

Keep the jet skis - maybe the Chineese will also copy the Indians

Interesting point, but at least this is a start.

More countries should join this boycott. If the international community would advise citizens,that the land of smiles has turned into land of scammers, it would create one big 'loose face situation'.

Looks trustworthy don't you think?!

Very.

Would love to also see a photo of the airport office morning queue.

Yep, would be interesting to see how many folks are waiting there at 08:30.

Two steps forward and four steps backward.

Seems that way indeed. And... the fact that the agency next to IO can do the 90 day joke right away, when no one else is given a queue number, indicates how corrupt those government servants really are.

Any places there showing the matches ?
