There is a new place on the beach called Swing Bar behind McDonalds, has free pool tables and Singha is only 60b, food is supposed to be good but haven't tried it yet.

Looks like it is going to be Lamai's version of The Ark Bar.

My office have given me letter offering me job and all the company paperwork but I still dont have a WP3 (can I get a WP3 while still on Tourist Visa????)

If so can I take a WP3 and change from tourist visa to Non Imm B at the same time?

So after I have used my 90days up it wont be a problem changing to Visa status so I can get my WP sorted?

I have been in Thailand for almost 60 days, I have done 1 border run so far.

I am waiting fro my prospective employer to sort out my paperwork for my WP and so I can get a non immigrant visa but they are taking there time and I dont think it will be ready in time for me to go and sort out next week.

Can I do another border run next week so it gives my prospective employer time to get my paperwork in order so the next time I go to Malaysia I can get my non-imm visa?

Thanks

I looked at rennting here but do a search at the top of the frum page for villas & there should be quite a lot of results come up with past recommendations. I like December too. Not too hot & humid.

December is ok, try to avoid xmas/new year though

Remember hearing a rumour about 6 terrorists being caught a few days before a fmp with a bomb around Nov 2004.

And also the reason thet dont want oil drums as rubbish(garbage if your a yank) bins is that they are worried they may be used as a place to hide a bomb.

But hey I also heard Elvis is a regular at the FMP's

So we've got Q-Bar, don't go there, where is it available on retail, ANYONE?

Lady in Maenam in distributing it, she has a shop next to Figaro Internet Cafe. Think it's 740b a case, I will get contact number for anyone interested tomorow.

Ark bar are also selling it.

Someone help me before I die of bordem waiting for my DSL to get installed.

Anywhere in Cheawang, bought plenty from the street stalls and they've all been ok.

Hi,

I always stay at The Ark Bar, right near all the nightlife, cool tunes nice people.

It's a great place to meet people, a lot of guests at other hotels tend to hang out there. It's on the beach and has a small pool.

All the rooms are clean with good air-con check out there site here (includes menu) Ark Bar

I've stayed there 4 times in the last 2 years and apart from in April - June when the tide is quite a long way out I cant find a fault with the place.
