  1. profit is not a dirty word .... not in my book anyway ....
  2. that's a corker !!
  3. Gatwick and BA are a perfect match ...... Gatwick is a dump , BA are a disgrace who in my mind should be forced to change its name ..... Owned by a Spanish company , it is far from British . They have been woefully slow to reengage with the East after Covid and in my mind are best avoided
  4. agreed ... generally these days it's Swedish and hand grenade that comes to mind !
  5. ....... AND is that someone you would recommend ?
  6. hi , does anyone have any recommendations for a lawyer that has helped them set up a business and associated work permit in the Bangkok / Nonthaburi are ? ... and yes I have googled and had some meetings , but recommendations are what I am looking for 😉 thanks
  7. hi , I'm gonna buy a truck , and read recently there are a lot of repossessions on the market these days .... something like that might suit me , I've never bought new cars in the UK , only commercial vans . Firstly where's the best place to look for "new " repossessions Bangkok /Nonthaburi , and second what are the pit falls ? thanks in advance ....

  8. I stayed a night at the Gudi boutique hotel , last year .... I bet you could have a deal with them for an extended stay ,,,, looked like they had a couple of residence when I was there ... and not much more ..
  9. what brand yoghurt has no sugar ?struggling to find one .....
  10. what absolute rubbish you are talking ...... I wouldn't mind being a £ behind them ,.... and their food is very good and the cooks excellent . there is no Buffet option to my knowledge, though I only eat there daytimes , in case you had not noticed a lot of Thai food is served cold having been batch cooked for the day .... perhaps you are more over priced gourmet burger and fries sort of person ?
  11. WanLamoon great food not over priced . HuenPen ( daytime ) excellent Lanna food inexpensive . Restaurant in The Bridge Eclectic hotel is very good / stylish decor
  12. probably Middle East ... (who boyishly like a loud bike as much as a vile Yellow Supercar ..... 4 am most other nationalities will be Pissed , Asleep or on the job ! .... just sayin"
  13. in what way is that an accident ?
  14. Chatuchak is one of the great markets of the world , on a par with Camden , Bac Ha .... and the now defunked Panjaiyuan . 40 something years ago I used to buy old textiles from Lao and Isan ladies who sold out of gunny bags just spread on the floor .... these days the antiques offering is pretty limited , with more and more imported goods offered for sale .... but most weeks I walk past a fabulous and enormous wooden lao buddha that I really covert . Its somewhere between 120000 and 160000 depending on the mood of the vendor ! Section 25 has some interesting shops offering tribal baskets and silver , and I recently bought a good Nishapur bowl from an Afghan trader ..... the art market in section 7 is well worth a look if your are furnishing , it has a nice vibe and a clean well maintained loo , close to the Mixt entrance . Mrs C has a few units there selling to visitors , resort operators , designers and ex pats furnishing apartments . Bang Sue junction is stuffed with vintage clobber and several Antiques dealers who have scarpered from River City ..... but the best thing about Chatuchak for me is the people .... the fashion conscious Thai's , the extrovert stall holders , the scruffy tourists , the Khmer guys running ice around the market to the food vendors ....... a real melting pot .. I love it ...
  15. Spoken like a true ignorant: referring to yourself by any chance ?
  16. I've found it not too bad .. ... and Mrs C is quite persuasive in a charming way ..... helps a lot 555 !
  17. that's and big dog ....... is it fit or fat ? if overweight even during rainy season it is likely to struggle with the heat and humidity ..... I have just brought my fit 33 lb Lab over from the Uk permanently . ..... I can tell you that he has taken best part of 3 months to acclimatise , and was pretty sick during the first month getting used to new local bacteria .... the people who handled his crating and delivery on the same flight as myself were both excellent at Heathrow and BKK .and I would highly recommend them . there's a fair bit of paperwork and all vaccines inc rabies need to be up to date and at least 21 days old . but to be frank , if you are not staying here permanantly I would not recommend this to you for the sake of your dog ...... and have you thought about quarantine going back the other way ?
  18. more than 50/50 i'd say if travelling on an Indian airline ...
  19. Jesus .... do you need some help ....... tampered passport .do not pass go .... end of story ! to you that might sound excessive but if your job depended on it you'd be rejecting the same every time .
  20. Indian airports and airlines are extremely security conscious .... and not with out good reason ..... As someone who has experienced a hijack at the hands of terrorist I welcome it ..... if the odd yogi waif and stray gets caught up in that then so be it !
  21. Similar ghastly make over going on in Talat Noi ........ added to the wholesale destruction of old "shophouses " ,is rapidly turning these two areas with great cultural and architectural significance into another bland MALL scape ... The government seem set on recreating another Singapore , and what a dull place that is ! The Bangkok riverside of Lord Jim has all but disappeared , and not for the better in my book .
  22. move to a better neighbourhood , and loose some weight ........ would be a step in the right direction for an easier time here
