  1. Hi,purchased a Proton Persona 2011 factory fitted cng  at auction 5 years ago and its been trouble free cheap motoring so far.Because its dual fuel I get a yearly inspection done on the gas installation when I pay road tax each year at a cost of 500 bht. ,This year it will be 10 years old I know lpg tanks have to be replaced evey 10 years as I also have a LPG  car  Anybody know whats the script with CNG/NVG tanks they are similar to a diving cylinder that has to be hydraulicly tested every few years .I have looked on google and cant find any info on the regulations in thailand in english.

  2. most minibus are running on CNG which available everywhere bkk as local taxis run on it, but it is only available in 5 filling stations around outskirts of Pattaya  the range of these vehicles is around 200 km per full tank,so they need to refill each journey at least once

  3. Ive purchased two off ebay.co. uk for my dell inspiron,over the last few years, mutch cheaper than from in tuc com. look for a hong kong or china seller with free postage as long as you don't mind waiting a few weeks for delivery

  4. Hi I am helping a retired friend apply for a 6 month uk visit visa she has been granted a v visa twice before,they own a house,which he has paid for in Thailand but put in her name,he now is only on his single persons uk pension but wishes to bring her again for a 5 month holiday to his flat in the uk,is there a set amount of savings that they need to show to be in with a chance of a repeat visit visa being granted

  5. Update they now want 1200 per head for farang to fish and 200bht for Thais ,we walked away when told this it's far to greedy a price !!! We went elsewhere and still had a good day although fish slightly smaller fishing ,beer food and bait for two persons came to a grand total of 850 bht Bye bye pattaya fishing park you have just lost a regular customer!

  6. If driving on thai no plates be prepared to pay a lot of tea money to the police,we visited a few years back and where stopped twice in 15 minutes by snooky police after funds ,apparently tinted window film is illegal in Cambodia??? they wanted money to let us proceed,we paid 20 dollars ,later learnt we should have give 2 dollars by some local friends. If I went again I would be tempted to take front no plate off the car so it not so noticeable that its a thai car, most local cars had no number plates fitted incuding newish looking lexuses

  7. Hi,looking for pointers for English lessons for girlfriends 19 year old daughter who has come down to our place in pattaya from the village to stay with us,Ive just sent her to Dusit Thani hotel training school for a year ,but she really needs to learn more English .she been to the free place in nakula but its fully booked with no vacancys she tells me. anyone any ideas.thanks

  8. Coming from central road traffic lights at third road towards walking street theres shop on your left just past the first soi on your left with the sophon tv shop soi the thai owner speaks ok English I purchased a 2nd hand wave from him many years ago but he still remembers me when I call in a nice guy he has many 2nd hand bikes outside shop

  9. Hi I am in a similar situation to yourself girlfriend been every may for 5+ months . stays at my uk home each summer/autumr for last 5 years.I have just applied for a repeat 2 yr holiday visa for her awaiting resulting outcome. On arrival Manchester last year she was given a right grilling,luckily I was with her and they allowed entry saying she was coming on wrong visa,but there is no other visa! she has always returned before the 6 months time limit is up. I usually return with her to my thai property for 6 months on multi o or multple visit visas as is the case this year

  10. Hi,just found the new location of pattaya fishing park lake, its past Makro on the sukhumvit road heading away from pattaya,turn right at the next traffic lights with temple on corner, soi wat boon (the winchester club is mutch further down same soi) take first road on your right after turnig off suk you will see a white sign saying pattaya fishing park follow signs the lake is located about 600 metres parralel to sukhumvitt road on the jomtien side.prices have gone up a bit now 800 bht to fish with your own rod, mutch cleaner than before a nice set up with about 25 bays with tables all in the shade and a nice breeze blowing through, but we where the only customers,the fish have all been transferred from the old venue and they where hungry we had about 15 catfish to 30kgs in an afternoon

  12. After 4 days of trying. just managed to open the visa4u site. I was using an easy.com email address which I have used for the last 10 years having sucsessfully got 8 earlier holiday visas with, This year I had to send from easy.com email address to a live.co.uk address to enable me to open girlfriends online account application Many thanks to a thailand uk.com member for suggesting this solution
