TIP: Once you get all the stamps changed to new passport. Before leaving Immigration, check your current stamps and Multiple Re-Entry Permit if you have one. Make sure that the IO has copied over the hand written parts too. Including correct dates. I got pulled aside on arrival at Suvarnabhumi, and taken to an office where I had a forty minute wait because hand written details were missing from one of my stamps. Wasn't a big problem, but I was delayed and once home, had to return to samui IO to get it sorted. Luckily I had plenty of time to make my connecting flight from BKK.

International flights are usually far too cold to endure without a jumper, fleece or some other warm, long sleeved item of clothing. Even more necessary when travelling in Europe's colder seasons. When landing at LHR in winter , I often see people departing the airport in shorts and t-shirts when I am wearing a warm jacket that I have unpacked from my suitcase. Maybe I have become too acclimatised to Thailand's hot weather. When I see people travelling in economy, wearing a shirt, tie and jacket for what is around a twelve hour flight, I often wonder if they are hoping to land an upgrade if available. I suppose there must be some advantage over the guy in the wife beater.

Do you mean like those Republicans that Musk offered a million dollar prize if they could prove they voted for his choice of candidate?

Mine was due June 2024. I deferred it until this coming June 2025. I was asked if I would like a lump sum of the year's deferred money, but chose to have the increased monthly pension instead. Though living here in Thailand it will be frozen once it starts. The person I spoke to told me that as I could buy some years, someone would be calling me to see if, and how many I would like to buy. Again, living here in Thailand with what will be a frozen pension, I am not sure if buying any extra years would be worth it.

It's easy for him to preach about not eating. Look at the gut on him!

When I saw the headline " Trump wants Canada to pay for his Golden Dome", I thought to myself "does that mean he wants a new wig?" 😀

Sell to Japan. Their rice price has gone through the roof.

i don't understand what is happening in the video. Was he accused of stealing? At about 1:46- 1:48, it looks like he gets something from his wallet, maybe a bank note and throws it on the table. before turning to leave.

Both stepping on Thai toes. Was bound to end badly.

Went to BKK Bank by Samui Town Centre early this morning to withdraw some cash. Lo and behold...No ATM's. I don't know if they are refurbishing or not, but all the ATM's were gone. There were no signs explaining anything. I hope this is just a refurb and that they are not closing the branch, as I believe that only leaves the one in Central locally. Anyone heard anything?

All that extra space just for the farang. Must be like travelling First Class.

He might have received a lesser sentence, or even got off scott free if his name was Sek Hiso instead of Loso.

A lot of the online scammers seem to be based in India too. All these companies using Indians. Seems to say a lot about their education levels and computer skills.

Did you take any photos of the broken seat? Much better to have photographic evidence if you need to go public.

If the guy has no money, does that mean he will likely end up in that hellhole Immigration Detention Centre?

I wonder if Boss will be at the GP.

Next thing. Tourists coming to Thailand will require a certificate of proof of sanity.

Why don't you go and see an eye doctor? If in Bangkok, there is Rutnin Eye Hospital. It won't be very nice if you lose your sight. Especially if you could have done something about it.

Yes. European school summer holidays start around end of June. Numbers should pick up then until beginning of September. It''s always quieter around this time of year.

So many competing for business that they are diversifying into serving drinks, food, gaming, and now apparently mushrooms.

Nothing wrong with getting illegals out. I just don't like the way Trump and his cronies are going about it. Sure. send them back to their own countries, and if criminals, convict and deport them. But just grabbing people off the street and sending them to virtual concentration camps in a third country without due process and likely for life is wrong.

Hopefully the victim will be able to give more info to the Police on the cause of the attack and identities of the perps.

Extremely popular in the UK as a quick snack, meal, or as an accompaniment. Brits eat more of them than anyone. You might not like them, but each to their own.

Just a heads up for any Heinz Baked Bean aficionados here on Samui.. Big C has them at THB 69 a tin (415gm). I normally pay around THB120 0n Lazada.
