I tried that once all the way down a multi storey car park, but I couldn't go fast enough for it to work. Once at the bottom a taxi driver helped me jump start it properly. I'd only ever driven manuals before so I didn't know at the time.

Will these tickets be sent via recorded delivery? If not, I don't see how they can be considered received.

Nothing. I suppose if I had to pick something close to hand I've got a heavy garuda that I could launch at them or some cheap whisky bottles that I refuse to drink.

It reminds me of my trip to nando's in the UK last month, directed to a qr code, spent ages putting everyone's order in to find out I needed to sign up to pay. F that! I then went to the til area and ordered in about 30 seconds. I ordered some drinks in spoons too using their phone app. Found out it was quicker to order at the bar also as our drinks were sat there waiting to be delivered to our table.

What's wrong with wearing a tie? A couple of my ties are getting a bit shabby so I'm following this thread with interest. The links so far have been too expensive for me though. I normally spend about 30-35GBP per tie from TM Lewin or Hawes and Curtis.

Yes, sorry. July 1st. I can't edit my post though for some reason.

Flew Heathrow to bkk on the 30th and was asked for proof of vaccination while checking in. Thai Airways required everyone to check in at the counter! No online offered. The immigration officers in bkk were asking for tm6 cards on June 1. One officer in the queue next to me was rather angry with someone who hadn't completed one.

All that I see is a media obsessed with removing Boris from power as the brexit referendum didn't go their way. I'm in the UK at the moment and I've never seen anything like it.

I was actually looking forward to seeing what they were for my next trip down, but then I saw it was effectively an advert for the big companies. Does anyone here live in Hua Hin and has a personal top 10 or top 5 list?

I agree that the markup is a complete joke but I wonder if part of the problem is that nobody uses or buys child seats. A lot of the locals still don't even wear seatbelts. Having these items take up valuable store space only to be bought once every blue moon could be part of the reason.

Sorry about that. I'd even forgotten about the thread before this morning. Any news OP on whether you managed to get the PCX at the advertised price?

In one instance you were shouting, but after that (1 Baht, 5 Baht) you weren't. Unless it starts a sentence it should be baht, not Baht. It's the same with euros or pounds.

I'm not the op, but it's not about 'just drinking one' more when it affects the taste. I don't drink to get drunk, but I've noticed most of the beers getting weaker because the taste weakens too.

So you complain about Thailand through the Thai pass and insurance requirements, you call people who disagree with animal exploitation morons, and then start flaming about health and safety in your home country. To top it off you can't afford a ฿1,300 (£30) return flight to Chiang Mai. Good Lord!

I know each person is different but the traffic ruins it for me. Too many cars on the main road and down the side streets. Unfortunately I see Hua Hin as a traffic jam with a beach that I never seem to be able to get to due to all the hotels. It looks tired, not vibrant.

Way to promote tourism Thailand!

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. We westerners are told not to flash the gold but plenty of locals seem happy to do so.

We tried using this in the last phase and the only hotels that seem to use it are the high end expensive ones. We prefer to support locally owned resorts than the companies already raking it in.

Thanks. When it's not busy it's safe enough to do 120 there.

I don't see why they expect more tourists to come here for sticky rice and mango when there are Thai restaurants all over the world. Thailand is not the only place that sells it. If they continue on the topic of food, most western orientated areas make the food to western taste, rather than local taste anyway. So what's the point of coming here for that? What tourists want is to feel wanted, respected, and free. Officialdom and uniforms everywhere doesn't really help with this.

They should really tone down on the make up. That's what's off putting to me in these competitions.

Could they not just show this information on a map? I've never heard of places like Mahasawat, but I've driven all that road.

Yorkshire ????.

Most times I can't even manage to get my own wallet or phone out of my pockets without cursing to myself, so there's no chance anyone can simply lift mine either.

I think if you want a relaxing holiday now is a better time than ever. That Thai pass system is still the biggest issue to me. A lot of people take the path of least resistance and that's why the fewer numbers make it a better holiday. I've just got back from Phuket and Koh Phi Phi. The number of tourists still created an atmosphere (there was plenty of young, mostly Brits), and there was space on the beaches to enjoy the 'paradise' that many come for.
