Just look at them ! You see a lot of these’ dirty thugs driving around’Phuket looking for a tourist or someone to rob.

No, il think that what they mean is an extra tax to pay the debt left by foreigners who are not insured. Not a travel insurance !!! This seems  logical and  Correct. To be  used to pay unpaid bills . A good idea, put the  100 Baht as an extra tax on every flight ticket and name it something different , debt tax for example ( only an example) not to confuse travellers. Honestly, what is a 100 B when buying a flight ticket costing 1000b ? Personally, I think it’s a good idea. It’s NOT a travel insurance, and if I had any say in it, I would make compulsory travel insurance for all tourists. No sensible person  Travels without one.

I used to have nice bread in the All In restaurant. Haven’t been to Hua Hin for a while, is it still there ?

Does Hilton Pattaya offer this too ?

With Copacabana and many other condos being built Jomtien is going from disaster to disaster ! I don’t know how anyone can swim   In that water, even before ! Suicidal. 

THank you Ubonjoe and BritTim.

I have seen videos of black water seeping into Jomtien water early morning during high season. Filmed by condo owners from View Talay , apparently it happens quite often. Disgusting that authorities are allowing such a health hazard !

Oh gréât, saves me a lot of money, thank you.

Hi, I am british. Am I eligible for an SETV in Britain even though I live in France ? ( I have all the necessary requirements). Reason, I’ll be in GB visiting family, ( Cardiff) and it’s easier than going 1000km from Cannes to Paris plus hotel cost. Thanks.

The last time I flew with Thai I was very surprised at how old the plane was. Prices were high then. I wouldn’t fly with them again. The high Baht will take its toll on all Thai exports too, it affects nearly everything if you think about it. Here in Europe , restaurants are buying the Cambodian rice instead of the Thai, price

26 € the big sack Cambodian

41 € the Thai.

Mannequins are  expensive ,a known fact to anyone’s who has a shop. That said, sounds a lot for thailand. On the other hand, kids are often badly behaved when out , parents fault. They get bored.Ive seen a waiter fall over a kid that darted off his chair in a restaurant, plates of food flying everywhere and he hurt himself slipping. The family  said sorry and left the restaurant. One of my neighbours has a very chic dress shop, she was literally screamed at by  rude  mothers when she asked them not to bring their kids in eating ice cream ! How about the couple with their screaming child who spoilt our evening meal out, and all the other clients ? Fault is often put on  business owners when all it is is bad parenting. 

So how about a letter to The Nation, or Bangkok Post inquiring about these numbers ? 

How about life imprisonment for van and taxi drivers who can’t drive ?

A good nanny in Bangkok gets around 18000 to 25000 Baht month. They usually do a bit of house keeping or cooking . If you have someone looking after  your kids , you want someone you can trust ..

Saltire,  dont drop  the meds like that, very dangerous. See your Dr. I was told not to stop mine by specialists in France, and even tho my readings were much better.

Can’t remember if it is, but warnings should be written on every visa and landing card and why not air tickets . 

Sorry about what happened but it could have been avoided if you had gone to Malaysia or Singapore for emergency treatment. Common sense should have told you you cannot enter having been blacklisted. Anyone staying / living in Thailand knows this. Why did you take the risk ? 

I don’t know what you are all joking about as you know absolutely nothing about why he has changed jobs ! Or what his new position concerns.  

The police take Asian beggars away, I saw them once load a very old lady beggar into the back of a police truck .So why not the western ones ? 

From what I understand, he is still Lt General Surachate , right ?

He meant Trat I suppose.

Climbing Machu Picchu at 62 , breathtaking, literally ! Jungle trecking  through Borneo and staying in the Dayak  and Iban villages. Can’t choose the best experience. 

Tropposurfer, funny that, I’ve found Koh Chang beaches and water to be some of the cleanest in Thailand, and in my 35 years been to nearly all of them. Of course, they were all clean years back ! Also you do not sit on a ferry “ for ages” the crossings pretty quick. 

Otherwise , yes, Weekends are the busiest times for ferry crossings.
