    Yes, very happy with the service, and with the bank branch, who went out of their way to help.

    Really? I'm a bit surprised given that it is a life saving technique. I can remember reading on this forum about a guy dying after choking on a fish bone, the Heimlich manouevre might well have saved his life.

    Agree.

    Thanks. The problem is now resolved. I ended up using a branch (also in a shopping mall) near my lawyer at G. HuaHin Resort and Mall, who I was seeing on a related matter - getting a copy of my passport certified.

    Age 42, says it all.

    I'm looking for an English speaker friendly SCB branch. I need to both change my current address, and get a bank statement sent to that address for the purpose of claiming under a will. I live in Sam Krathai, Kui Buri but am assuming that the most English speaker friendly SCB branch will be in Hua Hin. My original SCB branch was in Bangkok but no longer exists. Thanks for any help.

    Indeed, and not so difficult to get in Pattaya, even on a limited income. There was a time, some years ago, when overstaying was a thing, pretty much an accepted strategy, not so much these days.

    It ain't half hot, Mum.

    Don't care that much. Frozen anyway. Unsustainable though, given the state of the UK economy and demographics. That's fairly obvious.

    The truth is this liberalisation threatens a lucrative income stream.

    Thais use toilet rolls the same way we use tissues. A bit of a cultural shift for Western newcomers, I guess. It just doesn't have the connotation with bum wiping that we have. Once you get used to the bum gun it all makes perfect sense.
  13. nausea
    Yeah, I'd go with that.

    Pattaya is world renowned as a sex tourist destination; that's it really.

    Yeah, when I think cosmetic surgery I think S.Korea. Pretty ubiquitous here though. Cheaper, I guess.

    Phat kahrao is a staple with me, but I don't know if I'd classify it as anything particularly special.
  17. nausea
    All adds to the flavour.

    Stupid idea, expect it to wither on the vine.

    No way this guy can pay 27m, which begs the question why award it in the first place. Symbolic, I suppose, and failure to pay may influence sentencing.

    I remember a UK embassy guy, whose work involved sorting out these messes - contacting relatives, arranging burial, etc., telling me this sort of thing is not at all uncommon in Thailand. Many cases go unreported.

    Yeah, I noticed this too. Put me off even going near the place, haven't visited in years. What I would say is that a lot of these guys aren't really local; Phuket is a kind of magnet that attracts people from all over the country. Case in point, my current SO is from Petchaburi, but I met her in Phuket.

    Did the thrown grenade explode? The report doesn't say one way or the other. It does say one found inside the house with the pin pulled was a dud.

    Why am I here? Kipling summed it up pretty much in his poem "Mandalay".

    First thing I thought about on reading the headline; all very strange, who carries (even inadvertently) a single bullet, in their luggage.

    There's a lot to be said for that old adage "walk into old age".
