Hanoi is a big City but you can segregate yourself by sticking to the Old Quarter.

I spend most of the year in Vietnam. I love Nha Trang and Hue. Great internet in all of the aforementioned. Cost of living is cheap compared to Thailand. Relaxed lifestyle in all but are growing with the surge of Chinese tourists.

Danang has everything you want but it is a big city now with all that comes with growth.

Vang Tau is now full of Chinese tourists. I hate it as does my Vietnamese girlfriend.

Sapa is a great place up in the mountains above Hanoi. Only bus and train at this stage but they are building an airport a Lao Cai which is where the train terminates. Cold in winter but mild in Summer. You do not get the heat that you get in Hanoi.

has anybody got any good or bad things to say about this insurance agency?

100% useless replies by bored people with nothing better to do with their life.

whenever money flows in thailand, corruption is attached

The Government needs to step in and put a cap on the types of corruption practiced in Thailand, otherwise, there will not be enough to go round and keep this country afloat. TIT.

Congratulations guys, 23 replies to my post and not one of them addresses the question I asked. Not one...not one met my request not to respond if they did not know anything about the question I asked. There are a lot of bored people out there with nothing better to do than to post useless information.

As far as I recall someone on here did actually have a heater fitted to their motor. I can't remember the exact cost but it was not cheap.

 

Maybe they will read your post and answer or you could try a search of the forum.

 

At the time I took a note of the Web page of the people who did the fitting for future reference. (see below)

 

I know you specifically asked for no second hand information, and I don't blame you for that, but as nobody has replied yet you could do worse than contacting the Web Site.

Thanks. I have looked at their website already. They do not list heaters as part of their services. I have emailed TIM and he has not replied. The only inference I can draw is they don't do it. I have been to a number of Isuzu Dealers. They all say they do not make heaters for D-Max which is only 100% wrong because heaters are made for export models where they are essential for compliance plate and registration.

HCMC is great. I have secured visas here around 4-5 times. Drop off documents and passport in the morning and pick up next day. They will give you a time when you lodge the documents. Read the advice on the website and follow without exception. USD$40 is the fee. Take the right money. Make it simple and everything will go smoothly. Turn up without any of the documents required and they will not accept your application. You can walk to the Consular General's Office from Ben Thanh Market. Return taxi fare including waiting around USD$3.00. Single entry is simple. Multiple Entry requires a lot more documents. Once again, read the website.

Has anyone ACTUALLY had a heater fitted to an Isuzu D-Max post production. By this I DO NOT MEAN heard about a guy who did it, once thought about doing it, dreamt one night I did it.......I only want to hear from someone who ACTUALLY HAD A HEATER FITTED TO A ISUZU D-MAX. I would appreciate any genuine lead.

I would say the ones that are still open sell food and are therefore restaurants that sell drinks and not bars, expect a few hastily printed menus and a microwave.

There is one other possible explanation for this anomaly.

As anyone any information on good accommodation in and around Khon Khaen for Nov. Dec. 2017 and part of Jan. 2018 for retired English man & wife, prefer near good pub.

Also a good dentist for my wife. Many thanks. Alan Smith

The Pullman is the best hotel in town. It is expensive if you book direct so you may want to look at some of the booking agents on Tripadvisor.com just to compare. There are some good pubs and restaurants near the Pullman and they have good pubs and restaurants in the basement and lower floors. Just up the road is the Glacier Hotel which is good. Can't help you with the dentist.

The pinned "Latest reports of getting a visa in the region:" is getting a bit dated.

 

Anyone with recent experience of getting a single-entry Non-B in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur or Ho Chi Minh City?

 

The paperwork isn't an issue, just seeking the one with the friendliest disposition as well as avoiding any busy ones. I think HCMC will be cheaper when it comes to accommodation while waiting and Singapore the most expensive.

 

Thanks!

I have never applied for anything else than a SETV and METV but I can tell you that the embassy staff in Saigon are the most efficient I have experienced anywhere over the last 20 years or so. Saigon is a great place, cheap and easy to get around. Stay in District 1 and you can walk to the Consular General or take a cab for around $4 return. Submit your documents in the morning and pick up you passport the following afternoon. I just flew over and back with Thai for 5,500 baht return. Just so easy. As I said on a previous post, just inform yourself what you need and go prepared. Singapore and KL are such a drag and expensive.

The "on the spot fines" will be sadly missed by fellow officers

Seeing is believing. They regularly announce doing away with the checkpoints but they always return rather quickly. Maybe they gave the traffic cops a pay rise.

Hundreds of monkeys in Krabi waiting for food on the street

Khao Thong Tambon Administration Organisation Chief, Somchai Laosakul, says he was aware of the issue and that he will look into a solution.

By Nattha Thepbamrung and Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

  

KRABI: -- About a hundred macaques living in a mangrove near Baan Talane Pier in Krabi are flocking to nearby streets to get food from pedestrians packing the drive-way with a groups of monkeys and frequently blocking the road altogether.

 

“I travel to Koh Yao Noi, Phang Nga through this pier regularly and I can see the number of monkeys growing all the time. Sometimes, when there are tourists with a pack of chips or food vendors, the monkeys attack them to get food. Their number keeps increasing,” said a passenger of the pier.

Ok I didn't know that. So you think it could be dangerous or just reduce the life of the LED bulb? I just wonder what's the difference to those garden spotlights that are also fully sealed and water proof. They also use LED or even halogen lamps.

Once the light body fills with water the air will stop coming out. Problem solved.
