Check out Nan

Huen Kuang guest house, Tony's Restaurant for farang food and Pum 3 restaurant for a great massaman curry.

All covered in Tripadvisor or your friend google!

Thanks for all the input ~~~~ I am familiar with Thai buses, but boss lady wants to get from Roi-et to Nan and wants to be sure of connection times.

A real pain in the butt if you arrive 10 mins after connection has departed!

TBWG

Anyone know if buses run from Khon Kaen to Nan if so any idea of times?

Have tried your friend "google" without success!

Thais do not need a visa for Turkey get your girlfriend to fly to Dalaman on the coast and join you there?

TBWG

As far as I am aware any oil or gas found belongs to the king. So no get rich quick opportunities here.

TBWG

Why not leave it in your thai bank account and then take it out of an ATM with your bank card in the UK.

I have done this with a kasikorn bank account and card several times.

Mind you no idea what exchange rate they apply.

TBWG

Yes extremely dangerous ~~~ approach with caution!

TBWG

Used a Kasikorn Bank card in UK with no problems.

I notice half the Foreign police volunteers have wings on their uniforms, is this the elite force they are going to use??

I'm ready, Colonel Mainwaring....

Sorry to be pedantic but you have just promoted Captain Mainwaring to a Colonel...... were dooooomed!

Aeon Bank only charge ( I say only) 150 baht. Used to be free, when they introduced the 150 baht fee the other banks upped it to 180!

Think I have seen an ad from one of the Thai banks offering 80 baht withdrawals, however I have not been able to find ad and can't remember which bank!!!

Maybe someone on the forum know's?

Irrespective of what news agency is reporting it, the truth often hurt's.

Time to check all pictures on the passports of the passengers and compare with the CCTV and see who not fit in.

Then publish the pictures in media and find out the name of the 2 ghosts.

After that I think we can have an idea if they are false immigrants or terrorists

The Malaysian Authorities are playing this down BIG TIME

Well the lawsuits that will come will be much more massive and a hit to national pride and tourism,

of there is obvious negligence involved. So play it down as much a possible; face and cash must be saved.

It will be insurers who pick up the tab for the majority of the costs possibly even loss of profit/ earnings.

Of far more interest to them will be recovering the airframe and establishing the cause of the loss.

All risks underwriters have to prove that it was a war and allied perils loss to establish which insurers pay.

As they are not necessarily the same insurers.

The first 737-900ER was rolled out of the Renton, Washington factory on August 8, 2006 for its launch customer, Lion Air. Lion Air received this aircraft on April 27, 2007 in a special dual paint scheme combining the Lion Air's logo on the vertical stabilizer and the Boeing's livery colors on the fuselage. Lion Air has orders for 166 737-900ERs as of August 2011.[1]

Just two months ago had IPS fitted servicing 4 tvs. Had a problem getting an installer as our house is quite large, lots of work in roof space and connecting to my existing aerial points up there. Good news is they managed to located the right cables to connect to. Cost 9000 baht.

My roof space has cables everywhere now, looks a mess but at least it works. My advice is to show them EXACTLY where YOU want the dish and cables to run, and where they can connect to your existing points. You may find they don't like taking the time to do a good job and clear off, happened to me twice and I was very polite too.

Good luck.

Hi VMM

Thanks for info and prompt response. Just to confirm the IPS dish is black with a mesh screen i.e not solid metal disc.

From your info it sounds as though you have achieved what I want , access via existing ariel points!

Thanks again

TBWG

Hi

I am about to purchase an IPS Dish & Box which will feed a couple of TV's.

Rather than having wiring running all over the house would if be possible to route the cable through the existing ariel points which are already installed?

i.e. Dish cable goes into existing ariel socket via a spitter which feeds one TV and other TV acesses content via another existing ariel socket.

Thanks

They don't have a High commissioner but the Australian Ambassador to Thailand is Mr James Wise.

Have a look at their site here

Thanks for that Kevjohn

TBWG

Hi

Anyone know the name of the Australian High commissioner in Bangkok?

Thanks

TBWG

i have sent them couple emails, never heard back

but we kept checking the web site and The situation must have changed as yesterday I was able to get only as far as info about the flight, now it allowed us to purchase it. Yesterday the Nok web site showed that they will operate in Suvarnabhumi till Nov 30. Today the same notice said they will operate till Jan 31.

Visited Buriram airport last Friday to book a Nok Air ticket from Suvarnabhumi to Buriram for this coming Friday.

Sorry all flights to Buriram cancelled until further notice. The Friday flight was due in a couple of hours and they had a pax list of a lot of people who were due to be dissapointed in the next hour or so.

Tough if you have a connecting flight to catch.

I suppose the moral is don't cough up any cash until you are at Suv and know they have an aircraft and also have back up plan.

Hi

Anyone know of any cheap deals from BKK to Perth, W.Australia

Just wondering if the Qantas Strike plus Thai flooding has produced any special offers.

TBWG

PS Recently flew BKK - Delhi on the low cost operator Jet Airways.

Positive flight ~~~ ontime both ways, new equipment, good cabin staff and OK meals included. Airline food is airline food afterall.

Ok see you soon I'll bring my wellies!

TBWG

Kinky as always, I see !!

You supply the sheep!
