  1. I always used to stay royal palace or royal twins palace both large hotels, plenty of car parking space and off the main road. so reasonably quiet easy access to anywhere being on 2nd road not far garden plaza shopping mal (the one with the airplane sticking out of it) lots of Asians used to stay in tour groups but they where bussed about dailyand you had the pool to yourself most of the time .no extra charge for 1 guest. I used to purchase a members card then you could get a reduced rate fees around the 1500 bht mark per night now, I understand

  8. 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

  9. just been down to Numchai to try and purchase one, the sales assistant informs me that they don't work in pattaya yet although they have them in stock ,apparently every house will be given a voucher which can be exchanged for a free box there seems,no rush to install in Pattaya apparently as everyone have cable tv they are doing Issan first and down as far as chonburi I was told!!!

  10. Hi,Just wondered if anyone has bought a digital tv add on box ,I have seen them for sale for around 690 baht in Makro,What channels are available with it and how many are there ,my subscription is due for renewal with TMN and as I never watch any of it, I am thinking along the lines of would a set top digital box do for thai tv for the girlfriend and her daughter .I use a minix x7 for all the uk tv that I require

  11. I second the Minix box route a one time payment to purchase then free tv, sports and movies from all over the globe,make sure to purchase one thats already formatted as long as you have fairly quick internet

  12. 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!

  13. 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
