How did the price compare?

Their prices were very favourable I found

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

Within 60 days

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 ?

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 ? 

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 ?

Thanks. Where exactly did you have the proceedure, here in Thailand or someplace else.

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.

There's a lot of info about the company here...

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.

There was a very similar case just the other day where a Bentley Mulsanne was stolen in the UK and found in Pakistan...

My colleague arrived at Heathrow from Malaysia via Abu Dhabi two days ago. He was through immigration in about 5 minutes. Concerned that he had not been asked for any documents or forms or evidence of the vaccinations he'd had in Malaysia, he asked an official where he should present them. He was waved through without showing anything other than his passport at the egate.

Many thanks for the info and link. It was just that my friend thought that vaccines taken outside of the UK might not be recognised on re-entry.

A friend, a UK citizen, is in KL and has the option of getting his 2 x Pfizer jabs in KL. Does anyone know if his Covid jabs will be recognised on entry to UK ? Or, would it be wiser for him to wait and get his jabs in the UK ?

Why limit oneself to China ? Online teaching is widespread even before Covid and there are many opportunities. One such specialist platform is https://1on1.today which is very international.

I actually have a small 50g carton of Arrowroot, aka Cassava, which I bought at Tesco in London but according to the label was imported from Thailand. It is a very useful thickening agent when making stews etc and can be used to create a nice glaze on cakes and other things. 

I have found https://pixlr.com/editor/ to be excellent for every day purposes but I also use photopea.com as well which is very like photoshop

There is a lot more here in this old interview....
