Good to see the Chinese cattle tour boats out in force again, same shitty boats, same shitty buoyancy aids, same shitty Captains, meanwhile the authorities are having another crackdown on foreign owned yachts, nothing changes.

they hate good and love evil.
Most of their hatred stems from daddy or mommy issues and are destined to die alone in a house full of cats.
The more important question we should be asking is who's going to feed the cats when they're gone?
And we can feel incredibly smug and superior when we read American adults throwing out childish insults

As a Brit with no love of the Monarchy the point is she is still a head of state in her own country, protocols are there for all Countries and Queenie would be 2nd fiddle in good ole Murica should she visit there, USA protocols would be adhered to if that was the case.
Whether you are a fan of protocol or not the issue is manners, leave a 92 year woman waiting 15 minutes for you, pushing in front of her ? Just plain bad manners old boy.
A gentleman would offer his arm in case she needed it not wander in front her (any her)

Yes, it's the way for people who are used to follow what they are told to do. Not me.
Guess you will be in the s++t in a few years then !

Not a good PR job allowing overloaded yachts taking Chinese to Coral Island for their rip off seeing their countrymen dead in the water and asking awkward questions.

The latter are purely to help you float, not to keep you alive.
You cannot do snorkling in a life jacket as it would be near impossible to get your face underwater.
The fact nobody (boat captains, journalists) knows the difference is telling, and explains where it went wrong.
PFD's as they are called now (personal flotation devices) come in 2 types, Buoyancy aids which are for jet ski's etc. and proper life jackets, Buoyancy aids will not keep your head above water, in fact if you are unconscious they will make you float head down and are not designed for rough water. There is an International standard and alsoThai Gov. approved ones which are rubbish and dirt cheap, you can pay more to have Solas Approved lifejackets which is the Industry standard but Thai authorities will not allow them as they do not have Thai Gov approval. Go figure.

Hi all,
Did a search on here but couldn't find the thread.
I have been quoted 21,000THB for 1 root canal, post and crown which seems a lot.
Does anyone have any recommendations please?
Thanks

sticking to the question and not comparing countries.
Spring when the trees and plants come to life, sitting in a beer garden in daylight at 9pm. Autumn colours, snuggling in front of a log fire in winter, the driving, people still holding doors for each other, the supermarkets. the fresh sea air (if not in a city),

you can drive in the UK for up to a year with a Thai license, then you need a UK one.
Not the same for all Countries though as some have a reciprocal agreement where you can just transfer, Thailand is not one of them.

Not sure how Brexit has been mixed up with Saudi arms deals and the UK needing cash from anywhere.
UK has been dealing arms with Saudi Arabia for decades ! (not saying it is right but it is fact) If that has to do with Brexit then Brits have brilliant foresight !

When you are all done please update the thread with the process used. I have another dog that I want to move over to UK later this year if everything goes to plan with my wife's UK visa.
Thanks.
Will do

Thanks guys,
That helps a lot, just found out that for the UK they have to fly cargo and not excess baggage, very expensive, cheaper to go to civilised Countries like France or Holland and then ferry or Eurostar to the UK.
Should be fun with 2 huge suitcases and 2 big dogs !

Hi
We are looking at moving our 2 dogs back to the UK, Golden retrievers so not small.
I have looked at all the sites (UK Embassy etc.) and its pretty convoluted for the UK.
Is there anyone here in Phuket that can help/arrange ? I seem to remember a couple of posts about this in the past but can't find them now.
Thanks in advance

3 times in 12 years, we have 2 dogs, bars on the windows and cctv as well !

Hi all
Any ideas as to where I could get packing cases for International shipments ?
Tea chest type things but doesn't have to be tea chests. Something a bit stronger then cardboard though if possible.
Thanks

With that area being very, very shallow it is highly unlikely he did not look ahead. The explanation given (hydraulic issue) is more likely.
Well it did say he sped up then had hydraulic failure, they speed up to get onto the plane thus less draft, no matter it is a mangrove area with a speed limit !
Also if your steering fails the sensible option is to stop.

Just came through Chalong Circle, they are removing the old power poles, several large cranes, north bound lane past Homepro is closed.
Pretty chaotic with long tailbacks, the jam stretches back to the PTT garage near Soi Yuan.

Leaving Thailand after 13 Years..
in General Topics
Posted
Same for us, after 13 years we are going back to the UK, sold the house etc. Some sadness as in a social sense I enjoy Thai's but everything here for me is just getting harder and harder from the visa madness, appalling traffic to total lack of care in anything.
Sad but looking forward to fresh air, cleanliness and getting simple things done without it taking all day.
Horses for courses I guess.
