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.

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?

Subject to appeal.

Or deep fried Mars Bars over the border?

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?

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.

The Gibraltarians have had at least 2 referendums and voted overwhelmingly to remain British.

Bloke down the pub....

Fact check, GB were never members.

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.

And more tittle tattle for another book.

Many thanks, I'm in Hua Hin. I'll check with the Bangkok Hospital here and see where I can go from there.

Many thanks. Yes I'm fit and healthy so I'll go and speak with my local hospital.

I am taking a cruise around South America in the new year leaving from Southampton. The cruise company now require that I have evidence of a Yellow Fever inoculation or evidence of an exemption. Does anybody have experience of having such an inoculation in Thailand and if so, is it safe for over 70's.

Why are they Chinese and the other foreigner? I thought all non Thai were foreigners.

Same here, cut out/down on the carbs. It works for me.

Daughter of?

Not like school sports day in UK where every participant gets a gong irrespective of finishing position.

Then blaming misogyny for the remarks made about her. "I wouldn't have the same response if I were a bloke".

Beware, they also harvest personal data.

Several years ago, on arrival, I had a wrong 'stay until' stamp, I immediately went to the immigration at Suvarnabhumi and it was corrected. Since then I never leave the airport without checking my until stamp.

Wise only allows me GBP200 per month without their charges, more than that will attract their normal cash advance charges.

Seems Rwanda will not be giving a single penny back.

Unfortunately despite signing the request, I didn't think it was necessary to take a copy, mainly because I mistakenly thought a colleague of the attendant was putting the details into their computer system from the request form. On a second visit, it seems that the request had been found but they were embarrassed to admit it, and the upshot was the 'outstanding' bills were cancelled.
