Last time I was on the 4 pm bus, I missed the Nok Air and Air Asia flights. However, Thai Air still has a later flight which costs

only 2000,- Baht.

There are Tuk Tuks and motorbikes at the bus station which take you to the airport for 100,- THB

It leaves every two hours.

Thank you gotlost, this is it. There may be different kinds of sweet potatoes, as the sweet potatoes that I had

before where different looking and tasting.

Most southerners call them "Kee noo", and I had no luck with dictionaries and google...

Kha-Nom ist not the word for sweet potato but for dessert or maybe snack.

But there is a "Kha-Nom Kee Noo", maybe this dessert contains sweet potatoes...

Does anybody know what this vegetable, which tastes a bit similar to potatoes

is called in English?

Does anybody know the opening closing times of immigration at the friendship bridge ?

I'll be arriving in Nong Khai from Udon Thni after 7pm so wonder if it's worth continuing on to Vientiene.

The border is open until 10 PM!

Mhh, better a bit of labor than chemicals, but that is just my opinion. Iron starts from 200,- BHT .

Do you mean those cotton diapers? You may boil them, or as we did, Iron them very hot for a while after they have dried (after washing them...)

Or do both, just to be "sure".

Also, the Ban Mor area has countless electronic shops. Many sell these lights.

It is close to Chinatown (where you can find them as well) and memorial bridge.

Went there today, but could not find it. Couldn't find their website either.

Nether of us, it was done by hospital staff. I applied for only a 60 days extension, so this did not matter.

Hi,

my child is registered in Bkk, but the mother is registered in the south.

This is not a problem, but you need to get the "blue book", the housing

registration from Buriram.

We got it send by registered mail, and mail it back once we don't need it

anymore.

No, the kid didn't need to be there.

You need to bring 1900,- Baht, but I guess you knew this.

Hi,

I have been to immigration in Chaeng Wattana about two weeks ago.

I have a child, but am not married yet.

May name is on the birth cert.

I got a 60 day extension on my non O.

I had to bring

the birth cert as well as copies

the girlfriend (mother of child)

Her ID or passport as well as copies

My PP and copies

Application form

PP photograf

Housing registration of partner (blue book) as well as copies.

Your partner needs to come along in order to sign some papers.

It took about on hour or a bit more. They close for lunch between 12 and 13 h

Yes, while at standstill it should go up only every minute.

I buy my lentils at Pahurat market close to the Old Siam shopping center and behind the Indian Sikh temple.

They have different kinds, priced up to 100 Baht per Kg or less. They also have chick peas, if you like to

make Falafel.

Yes, he can get it. There have been threads about this before, just try the search function.

Thanks Lop, I am not going today, I have to go before the 23rd of this month. With "take that long" I meant the distance / time required to get there, as

a friend told me, it's pretty far out.

I will give it a try! Hope it doesn't take that long to get to the new immigration office!

Hi Lopburi, I got this Non-O just with copies of birth cert. and her passport, do you think this will be sufficient

for a 60 ext. ?

Hi, thanks for your input.

My non O is based on having a child, not marriage.

Is this possible? Fee 1900,- as with the TR visa?

Yes there is. One is right at the Charan S. - Pinklao junction and another one just a hundred meters past the junction.

Really? No good greek restaurants at all? That's surprising for such a big city. There is such an abundance of everything else, why not Greek?

Not that strange. There is not one Ethiopian restaurant in Thailand either.

No, there is one (or at least it was there a few years ago) close to askok junction.

I had a very nice cup of coffee there, which was freshly roasted in the back of the

room on a small charcoal fire.

Hi,

I use a German issued DB ATM card in BKK without any problems.

You need to select "savings account" not "current account".

This may be the issue.

I've seen a shop on KSR sells them. I have also seen a street stall in China Town had some.

I guess, including local transport and paperwork it will be aprox. 100 000 Baht.
