When arriving at a Shengen border you might be asked to show  that you have enough money for stay  

dependin if the accomedation is paid then  a guide would be 40 euro a day 1 person  \

like everywhere these days you can make it as expensive as you want 

so realy the people saying uneed proof of that have money is some what useless information 

becayuse today can have 5000 euro on bank and an hour later nothing

be sensable and keep to the guide

Germany and Korea.the next countries to get apologies,?

for this attack,and the Korean who got ripped off in Chiang Mai,

 maybe the Government needs to open up a new ministry,

 

The Ministry of Apologies ,should be quite busy.but maybe only Chinese get one.

Which brainy business man thought up the idea of driving a loudspeaker van round the centre of town, holding up traffic; pointlessly burning fuel; polluting the air; with a message that nobody hears in its entirety if at all then stands back to await the rush of inconvenienced customers?

Good, at least now we will be able to read what we're actually buying being a UK products unlike the french stuff they are peddling now that everything is written in french...

thai/ french easy if u learn can also scan with your phone and translate then u know what u buy

but if the packet looks good u buy anyway 

u will need a visa for europe and also maybe 90 day reporting who knows it is 1 big silly mess no body knows 

simple never leave anything lying around be it pin card pin codes take all if u leave thailand then nothing can happen 

Just maybe 

all funny things haappen here just take what ever precautions u can no open invites 

If u dont have beer in the house then u can not drink 

if not not temped to open and drink

so dont buy and nothing in the house

There are some countries in europe that will not issue a new passport if one is lost or stolen. They will only issue a emergency travel document for a trip back to that country to get a new passport.

Completley correct U get an emergency document en need to get a new passport in country of oregin 

it is inconveiant but thats the way it is 

Good Thailand goverment give this elite and free trip around   what els could they have given.

   for all volenteers what ever nationalety   fantastic job 

i think all volenteers  just do this to help the situation and dont expect to much back

 but  a thankyou with some food a shower and a beer or two go a long way  .

Just wondering. Is the last man out going to clean up the cavern of thermal blankets, litter etc. before the onset on the monsoon. Would hate to see these items wash further down the caves to do irrepairable damage elsewhere!

Just an off topic thought. Good luck to the remaining 5 and their brave rescuers.

Equipment and other things is not important here  the boys and coatch and the rescue workers are

the  debri and bottles can be when rain season goes  

To all that are involved direct or indirect  it is  fantastic work that you have already done the days of hard work and patience 

now the last bit to 100% great

and thanks to everybody  

thing called vanish can get at makro  just rub some on stain then wash 

Dont forget both passports old and new show both no problem 

Every country needs a starting point to this plastic bag issue

in india they fined my coleague for still producing plastic bags big time/  plastic bag ban now

glad to see  that plastic  bags will be reduced .

Easiest way to protect your card from being skimmed- Insert card into the machine. Before you doing anything else, cancel the transaction. If the card is returned to you, the machine has most probably not been tampered with.Re-insert the card and continue your transaction...

good idea
