Hi - here another great supplement fan - been taking multi-vits since the 80's

and my hair is still black at 65 - obvious scientific proof ! I'm just a freak really.

Another health+appearance obsession: I've been what they now call 'moisturizing'

since i started to steal my wife's Nivea for the old face as early as 1968 - ahead

of my time or what !

Right, to the topic - I use BIOVEA mail order for everything - pay fast with Paypal -

and best of all, they post to Thailand from wherever they are FREE if the invoice

total is over 29 quid - and I have never paid Tax on stuff coming into LOS through

2009 / 2010. Maybe it's something to do with their packaging, don't know.

Anyway, don't know if live links work in here, but here's BIOVEA if they do >>>

I have no interest in the company, and can honestly recommend their service from

my own long-term experience with them.

Obviously, if the link fails, just Google : BIOVEA

By the way, I've also bought Centrum in LOS and you are right, it IS over-priced.

Had a look at the link you posted, seems to be what i'm looking for... many thanks

I've been buying 'Centrum' multivitamins and 'Mega fish oil' capsules since i got here (10 years now) and have yet to find any cheaper. Yet they are way more expensive than in the UK. Thought about mail order from such as e-bay which i've done with many other things but last time i received my mail order i had to pay 'tax' on it of over 2000 baht. This would make ordering multi vitamins none viable, so, does anyone know any cheaper versions or a better way to get them ?

Thanks to everyone for their input. When i contacted truevisions a few weeks ago they said they were NOT showing it. But, in truevisions fashion they say they ARE now showing it and have just started to advertise it on their website at this address - http://www.truevisionstv.com/enhance.aspx?enhance_id=1182

I know its an obvious saying for this but, "TiT", at least we only have to wait 2 weeks to get the footie season up and running.... come on you gunners !!!

immigration website rules on 90 days are 7 days before or after.... i did it already . no fine

Thanks for the reply. Was your reply late and did you do it by post or in person ?

I'm on a married visa and have been here 10 years. Never missed a report to immigration. But,my 90 day reporting of address is on the 27th, a bank holiday and the 26th is a bank holiday too. Yes, i forgot to check.

Just looked a few posting on this forum and noticed a lot of members saying you get a 7 day leeway. If this is so, can i still post it on the 28th to arrive on the 29th (2 days late) and still be o.k. or do i have to drive the 2 1/2 hours to my immigration office and pay a fine ?

Any advise would be appreciated.

I would be very surprised if it was not on local Thai TV. Wasn't it last year ? A big ad revenue is awaiting!

Its hasn't been on Thai t.v. for a few years now and the local Thais, who own the local cable company, don't expect it to be this year... but hey ho, fingers crossed :-)

I know the community shield between Man Utd and Chelsea is 2 weeks away, but, Truevisions say they are NOT showing it (no surprise there) and the local Thais tell me its not on Thai tv either. It looks to be a cracking game so does anyone know how to view it... i need my footie fix soon !

Try this link, its a calender of events taking place all over Thailand including the Loy Krathong festival.

On my August notes, I have August 14 blocked as "International Fireworks Festival" being held in Pattaya at Soi 4. It is tied to the Queen's birthday.

Hi, i've a 4" telescope. I've sent you a personal message. Drop me a line if your interested.

My swimming pool has suddenly started to get these 1" wide solid black marks appearing all over. I've done the water test and its the same as always. They are smooth dome shaped and can only be removed by chiseling them off.

Does anyone know of a chemical solution that will remove these dots and why they've suddenly started to appear ?

Thanks to everyone who replied for their help.

Can anyone let me know what channel, if any, other than the 'HD' channel you can watch the world cup on. I've got the magazine and i've checked on their website but can only see it being aired on channel 111, TSHD.

I have the 'gold' package to watch the premiership games and was wondering if this gets you the HD channel. When i tune into the HD channel i just get "searching for signal" box come up, so cannot tell if i get this channel or its a 'pay by view' channel. If the gold package doesn't get me the HD channel, can someone let me know how much it costs. I e-mailed them weeks ago and more recently without reply, (no surprise) so any help on the matter would be appreciated.

Sri Thep is quiet. Talked to both the police and supporters of the red shirts and they both say that everything 'here' is as normal and nothing is planned.

Here's hoping it stays that way.

I only use currency solutions now as they are 'superb'. Fast and a way better rate than anywhere i've ever tried. They are very professional and tag your transfer so you can ring them anytime and they'll tell you where your transfer is and how long it should take. Last time i transferred i went to my bank (Bangkok bank) and they said it hadn't arrived yet, so there and then i rung currency solutions and they said to give the phone to the teller. 2 minutes later they had 'suddenly found the transfer and the funds had cleared !

Plus i got 4 baht to the pound better rate than my bank in England and no fee's !

A Liverpool football shirt.... i've heard they're always full of it

Phetchabun....... utube is virtually none existent on TOT !!! Same as you, call it up and only get text :-(

Does anyone know of a place that sells 'home' sausage making kits that'll deliver, as i live in Phetchabun. See you guys showing off your home made were's and want to have a go. (will be in Pattaya over chrimbo).

Hi, have to go to the immigration office in Phitsanulok from Phetchabun. If anyone has gone there, from the south, can they post any information that might help in finding it. Seen the google map and it appears that there is a one way system on the roads leading to it.

Any information will help as i've never even been to Phitsanulok.

Many people, myself included, have encountered this problem in the recent past.

Don't worry, just try again later.

Ditto, happened to me yesterday morning, 10am, tried again at 11am and no problems. Not the first time and will defo' not be the last... TiT !

Just to let everyone know :-

Got my 90 day extension back through the post from Nan immigration today. On the bottom there was a note saying that Phitsanulok immigration office would be doing the 90 day reporting from now on and will also be doing the "marriage' visa's.

Phone: 055-259635. This was posted earlier by a member, perhaps in a different thread, and I added it to the placemark information on Googl Maps:

Lopburi3.. thanks for that, will give them a try a couple of days before due date so if they are not up to speed yet can always go to Nan. Will let this thread know the result.

Next month i have to do my yearly marriage visa. Has anyone been to the office at Phitsanulok and had it done yet ? I've heard its only doing retirement visa's so am a bit concerned. Also, for those who have been, whats it like, friendly staff, easy to find and problems etc etc.

My 90 day reporting of permanent address by post is due. Does anyone know if the office at Phitsanulok is ready to do this yet ? Or does it still have to go to Nan ?

I think Villa sometimes carries smoked mackeral.

Villa does have smoked makeral and so does foodland... just had some, not bad at all
