  1. What is said and what is done are two very different things. Do not expect Jurassic Park, or you will only get disappointed when Somchai turns up dressed as Barney!
  2. Where are you buying your salty food? I'd love some, I am sick to death of bloody sugar in everything!
  3. I went to Koh Phi Phi Lek about 20 years ago, it was unspoiled, hardly any tourists, great swimming and snorkelling , beautiful scenery, great guest houses and hotels restaurants and bars, all very much on the quiet side. All of this totally ruined! Just like Phuket, I'll never go back again, totally spoiled.
  4. From what has been posted, it looks like nothing much different from any other civilized country, (minus the "Civilized" part - ) and have simply stated that you need to convert your IDP into a local license in order to drive here. UK, Aus etc. all have similar laws, you cannot drive on an IDP or foreign licence forever and at some point you need to get a local licence. The only main difference that I can see is that most of these laws seem to have been drawn up or proposed by either Thai savants (minus the servant) or Rainman.
  5. Good luck to you! Thanks for the post. I did not know that Joe had died, so sorry to hear that, he has been on Thai Visa for donkeys years. A wealth of useful knowledge.
  6. Where do you shop? Big C? That I could understand as the assistants where we are do nothing except play on their phones, half of the products are in the wrong places on the shelves, they really are a <deleted>shop.
  7. Jesus, it didn't take a week for them to start blaming all of their bad luck, incompetence and failure on the middle east, Israel and Iran! Jesus, take a look at yourself first, then maybe across to Cambodia .
  8. Is that a cop in the photo or a large bluebottle type insect? It looks like the Brundelfly
  9. Are we supposed to be at all surprised or shocked that this sort of thing goes on in Thailand? I thought (as my wife's family keep telling me) "Thai people never do that!:"
  10. Just keep away from Hoy An, it is one of the most terrible tourist rip off joints I have ever been to, absolutely manufactured to extort as much money out of tourists as possible. As far as everything else, I'd go back again tomorrow, loved the people, the place and (some) of the food - no, not all of it!
  11. "Soon Elizabeth" exclaimed Nicholas to his wife Elizabeth,
  12. Not sure what is circled in the photo, is it a bear on its hind legs or maybe a Sasquatch looking for food in the bins?
  13. Indeed, most of the stuff they sell can be bought in normal shops for half the price.
  14. Obviously she and her cabinet (not the drinks cabinet - but it would probably provide better advice) are preparing to advise The Donald and all of Israel how to win a war. After breakfast she is going to get Cambodia to surrender.
