I'll need to get from MaeNum to the Nathon bus station at 6.30 or 7 am. Are there songteos going there in the morning?

Probably that one, it thought there was only one.

Honey is readily available in Tesco, Big C & Makro.

HTH

I want one from "thai royal project".

I want to buy honey. In Chiang Mai I bought a bottle from "thai royal project". Is there any official shop of in Samui? Or maybe in Surrathani.

I can't find their website, what's it?

I've lived in Bangkok for 83 years and still each time I take a took-took, motorbike or songteo on the same route, I wonder, how much will the driver charge me today and how to ask him why is today's price different from yesterday's?

That's what I'm doing here: a research.

Oh, God, I made him cranky.

If I didn't ask my question, I'd think that in Phuket I could obtain a driving license in one day, whereas one has to wait for 2 months. And it's not written anywhere. So how about research and links to the official website?

Do you mean 2-year driving license? That's what I want. But don't all farangs, and maybe thai also, get a 2-years driving license first?

why the link? to add more confusion?

1 year

visa

these are already 2 contradictions to what we have in reality nowadays.

if I have only a stamp and no visa, is it still acceptable?

You can probably get a temporary license, if they have not changed recently.

Good news is that temporary license is valid for two years now.

I've already had one, I've lost it in another country and besides it expired 2 years ago. So will I be like a first-time-comer?

if I have only a stamp and no visa, is it still acceptable?

Could anyone give me the latest update of what the situation is with getting a driving license? I know in Phuket one has to wait for 2 months to take an exam. In Samui, is it in the same day?

It is no longer 1980, and Samui is no longer the same hippie island that it was then.

Things have changed a lot in the last 40 years.

You're so boring. Life should be jubilant and fun always. Get yourself a girl, then you'll have more fun at night.

Man, you can try to rent a room right in Green Mango and then complain that you're suffering from noise. Why on Earth are you renting a room next to a club or a place where they have loud music playing every night?

Are you certain it's for now? Mafia or night life? how long will for now last? Oh my god, that's very, very frustrating. No parties anymore in the island made for parties.

Like in Chiang Mai where the night life is dead. 9 pm - go to bed.

Why would you go to bed at 9pm in Chiang Mai when the bars are open until Midnight?

Ohhh, there're plenty of clubs. Everywhere! How many? I think only 1. Yeeehhhhh!!!! Not to mention, it doesn't work every night.

I haven't taken tablets for years. Moreover, I don't trust doctors.

so?

Last night Green Mango and Sound in Samui they closed at 2 am. Previously, 1 year ago, Sound worked till 5-6 am.

Why? Do they always close at 2 am nowadays? Does it spread throughout Thailand from Chiang Mai? In Chiang Mai, though, they close at midnight.

I found this http://www.thailandtrainticket.com/ but I believe it's not a official website of thai railways.

How can I buy a train ticket from Penang (Butterworth) or Padang Besar or Hat Yai to Suratphan in the internet without any middle man?

20-30 kg bag, clothes and other stuff inside.

I'll need to leave my bag either in Phuket or in Malaysia KL for a few months, around 3-5. First my question is about Phuket: where can I leave it for that long and approximately how much will it be?

I just say, "no bag" and put it in my backpack. If i don't have my backpack, i get a bag.

But why on Earth would I say "no bag" when I'm buying a 250 ml juice? Who needs a bag for a 250 ml juice? The size of the bag is the same as the size of the juice! It's bunk! They put a 10 bath sun-flower kernels in a bag! EVERYTHING! I don't need a bag for that at all! Can't they figure out that's ridiculous? What will I do with that tiny bag?

Can't you figure out how to say no bag in Thai,to give the poor checkout person some chance of reading your obvious superior brain.

I can. But how about other customers who don't need a bag and are lazier than me to say "no bag"?

Makro manage very well without plastic bags.

I got a T-shirt made saying I don't like plastic' as saying it in Thai doesn't seem to make much impression. I have to gibber and point a bit to get my point across all the same. Straws with beer? Same thing in 7/11's in Kuala Lumpur. so probably company policy world wide. Best way to get very drunk.

I always grab my stuff before they can get it into a plastic bag, with a smile of course.

I am just back from a trip to Hong Kong, and I can tell you that 7/11 (and other shops) there will not give you a plastic bag, unless you want to pay for it, and every body seems to manage ok.

That's true. I can't recall any country out of 15 I've been to where they give you a plastic bag. In Indonesia they ask you. In China they don't give it.
