  1. Pratumnak is badly served by song thaews. By the time they pass Jomtien busstation they are completely full. I think the area near the beach there is great, lovely condos, but unfortunately, no baht bus at all, otherwise I’d move there ! I didn’t know Unixx had a shuttle, good idea.

  2. Before i left Phuket about 10 years ago, my neighbour was already on the computer every evening for an hour. She had three guys on the go, and was living a very nice life, alone, shopping and eating out with the girls.Who would want  to stand in a bar all night listening to drivel and being obliged to go off with some horrible guy ?

  3. Hi, go to the Koh Chang run companies. On time, no messing  about , good safe drivers, been using them for years. Hotel to hotel, ferry included and good vans. Try Cocodeeboo or iamkohchang , both English, great guys, they do it all for you. Take a look at their websites. I’d never recommend the kamikaze ones from Pattaya. Same prices everywhere.

  4. Yes, BritTim is right. The Paris office is a nightmare. They have a super complicated system, and who wants to travel 1000km to pick up a visa ? They are doing  Thailand a great disservice ! The visa companies have stoppéd  dealing with them, goes to show how bad they are. Unwelcoming and lacking “ politesse “, they are refusing  people’s tourist visas by the dozen. And if your air ticket is over 60 days, forget it, even though you have flights out elsewhere.

  5. Hi,I am  not an expat , but I used to love spending thé European winters in Thailand, and I’ve been doing this since 1985. When in Thailand, I like travelling around, visiting the country side, Issan, the north and south and islands.

    i also travel to neighbouring countries , from Bali to Burma, I’ve been to them all except Korea. Now, with my foreign friends moving away, or not wanting to stay in Thailand any more, plus the complications of the TM30 every time I go on a long weekend , I’ve decided to look for somewhere else. I’ve been to South America, beautiful , but a little unsafe, so I might try Vietnam. Ive been many times. How about Da Lat. ? The weather sounds great, i love Vietnamese food, and am very used to the people having worked with them all my life. If anyone has any info on Da Lat to stay for a few months, please. Otherwise, any other town where there are shops , restaurants, that is liveable. I like my comforts and English  speaking TV , preferably somewhere with pools to swim. Thanks.
