  1. Their prices were very favourable I found
  2. I recently booked an economy return AirAsia flight through Booking.com and, later, had to change the date of the return flight. I thought I would either get the brush off when I tried, or that it would be hard and expensive. In fact, I found that Booking.com provide flights through GotoGate.com and their chat agent couldn't have been more helpful and got the date changed for me with no problems.
  3. My paternal grandfather was born in 1851 and witnessed the capitulation of Paris to the invading Prussian army in 1871 and their troops marching along the Champs Elysees to the Arc De Triomphe. He had obtained a Laissez Passer in London (a tissue-paper-thin document neatly folded into a leather holder, which I still have) to visit his father, my great grandfather, who was an eminent doctor and surgeon, and had been despatched by the War Department in London to Paris in 1870 as Medical Commissioner to the French Army as an observer and remained there throughout the dreadful siege and continuous bombings by the German army. He was attached to the American Ambulance there and gave assistance to the dying and wounded during the three key battles and he was awarded the Legion d'honneur by the French Provisional Government.
  4. IMO Gafae on Pattaya Tai, near to Tukcom, not only had by far the best coffee in town but they also have a nice terrace, a/c inside, nice food and pastries etc AND the Bangkok Post to read
  5. For similar reasons I went to Malacca for a few days. Very interesting place, plenty of history, lots to see and abundant food choices as well as decent places to stay.
  6. Thank you to everyone who answered my query. My flight will be direct BKK-LHR and it is a relief to know I will not face any check-in problem.
  7. I have a UK passport and will be returning to the UK on March 3rd. However, my passport expires on 28th August 2024 leaving it just 3 days short of 6 months validity. Am I likely to be refused a boarding pass at the airline check-in ?
  8. So supposing I buy a throwaway ticket in order to show on the evisa application form that I am exiting Thailand before my 60th day, will I still be able to obtain a 30-day extension later on ?
  9. Thanks for your response. So if I obtain a throwaway ticket to show my departure before my 60th day - one of the requirements of the evisa online app form - will I later be able to get a 30-day extension at immigration ?
  10. I am in the UK and preparing to apply online for a 60-day tourist visa although my intention is to stay for 90 days by obtaining a 30-day extension at immigration. The evisa travel section requires a date of departure from Thailand. Must this be within the initial 60 days ? Or will my departure home within 90 days be accepted ?
  11. The procedure was done at Guy's Hospital in London. I'm told that the prostate Aquablation process was first developed is about 5 years ago and has since had a rapid take up in many other countries because of its precision and because it's far less intrusive and, for larger prostates, much safer than TURP. I understand that Bumrungrad Hospital in Bkk now offers the procedure.
  12. This time last year I was listed at Guy's hospital for the Holep procedure and I was given a bed in the Urology ward. When my Consultant came round he asked me if I would be interested in having a new robotic procedure called Aquablation as someone else had cancelled. He explained that the outcome would be the same as a Holep but much less intrusive. After our discussion, I agreed, and thus became the first person to have this new procedure where the prostate is, in effect, hollowed out a bit to allow the urethra an unrestricted passage through. I have had no side effects, no discomfort and no change to the enjoyment of my sex life and I'm not far short of eighty. Hope that helps.
  13. There's a lot of info about the company here... https://www.bagthejewels.co.uk/sold--anson--usa-gold-plated-arrow-tie-pin-3711-p.asp
  14. Soi Hollywaood - friendly and inexpensive
  15. For those who like doing the BP crossword, it is one that is syndicated so exactly the same crossword appears in other papers including London's Evening Standard. So if the BP is sold out, you can always enjoy doing the xword here... https://puzzles.standard.co.uk/games/cryptic-crossword-eveningstandard
