  1. Oh dear, two unfortunate requests.
  2. The mini bus charges B100 and will take you from the bus station to your accommodation. If I remember correctly, from what I heard on Sunday when I arrived from BKK, the trip to the clock tower is free.
  3. For the first time this year I arrived at BKK on 23 July and was given a 60 visa exempt entry until 20 Sept. On 17th September I went to Hua Hin Immigration at Blu Port and extended the stay until 20th October. On 17th October I flew to HCMC until today 25th. On arrival at BKK the IO told me I need a visa, too many entries. I was escorted to the 'interrogation' area where, after explanation by a second IO a senior lady IO said (my translation) Bai, let him (me) in. I was then escorted to the 'Priority' lane where a 3rd IO said 'I can't stamp you in? You stayed too many days, you must get a visa in your country. From what I understand, the new ruling is that you can enjoy 60 days, plus 30 day extension and, if you leave Thailand, for whatever period, the 'clock' resets for a 60 + (if required) 30 day extension. I would add that I only spend between 4 to 6 months each year in Thailand. Am I misinterpreting the July ruling?
  4. Or deep fried Mars Bars over the border?
  5. What are your experiences of using Thai Post Office EMS courier service? I posted some important documents at the Hua Hin Beach Post Office to UK on 3rd October at a cost B1,190.00. I was told 3-5 days for delivery. The EMS Tracker on 4th showed "Departure from outward office of exchange'. Since then, the documents haven't arrived and nothing more on the tracker. When I called the call centre today, 12 days after posting, I was told if the document doesn't arrive within 6 months then claim in their prescribed format. Has anybody had this experience with EMS?
  6. At BKK if you go to the ground floor at Gate 8 you can get the VIP Bus every hour or so. You can also reserve online.
  7. The Gibraltarians have had at least 2 referendums and voted overwhelmingly to remain British.
  8. Fact check, GB were never members.
  9. And, in a cashless society, the banks will be free to charge 'transaction' fees on all transactions similar to the current credit/debit card fees.
