You cannot check into the Nana hotel in Bangkok with a pink card, only your passport. That also applies to a hotel I used in Petchabun, so I would think there will be other hotels though very much in the minority where you cannot check in with your pink card.

Maybe the Yellow Book you are referring to is more recent and is in English. Everything in my Yellow House Book is in Thai, so it is not helping me.

10am, 4pm and 8pm. 4pm a large meal, the other two just snacks. 6ft tall, 76Ks weight.

Yes it's mainly the top politicians and the medical profession, then there is the airplane companies squeezing every penny they can get with there ridiculous air fares.

I had big problems with it when I was in America, one person even tried to double the price when I said no ice.

Too many straws involved I think. ????

What you have said has been true, but I don't want to have to depend on them, I just want a back up plan, just in case as I have read of the odd one or two who have had problems getting their transfer.

If I do not use Wise, what would be the best way to send money from my UK bank account to my Bangkok Bank account? Or would it be easier to just use my UK bank debit card? Thanks.

I would not bow to old Charlie with all his medals, bling and funny hats. So why would I bow to any emperor?

What new government? Is there now a government without soldiers? Or am I missing something?

I remember a few years ago I was thinking about using them as they have a very good name, but gave it up because they were too far away from central Bangkok, but I think they now come to your hotel to do their services, though I stand to be corrected.

I thought Thailand already was a "Banana" Kingdom, or a Banana Republic. What's the difference?

Back in that British soap Coronation Street. He plays Curly Watts.

How can I use the Hua Seng Heng Gold shop as I cannot find a way to Yawaorat from the MRT??

We regularly read that Thaksin should or could be jailed, now we are reading that Pita could be jailed. What about the unelected caretaker PM, he stole the country with his soldiers in an illegal coup, screwed the country with flip flops and lies and lined his pockets big time since 2014, and yet no one is saying he should or could be jailed. Unbelievable.

I can't remember the last time I let a man cut my hair, there are about 5 hair shops in my small town/village and only one has a male who cuts hair. guess what shop I have never used.

But I could not find them on the same page so cannot see how to get there when I get off the train at Wat Mangkan MRT.

Tried it, could not find Wat Mangkon MRT and HuaSengheng Gold shop Yaowarat Road on the same page.

How far to the gold shop from MRT? Easy to get motorbike? How Much?

Thanks, I will keep note of this. Maybe use the charger from my Xoami, or maybe not.

"Thaksin's daughter is too inexperienced to be PM." If a soldier can be a PM in Thailand, anyone can. A soldier with only a Military Academy education or someone who graduated from university with various degree's. I know who I would prefer inexperienced or not for PM.

I would prefer the first one obviously.

That's a big help, I will look around, but now I'm thinking of a Samsung Galaxy A14. Anything is better than the garbage Xiamoi.

Thanks for letting me know, but I would need to see the phone I was buying first and be able to get everything changed into my new phone by the people I was buying it from. Looking at it another way my Xiomai has been such a total disaster, I am looking at Samsung who have always been reliable for me in the past.

Wallet in back pocket?? Are you not taking a chance there?
