His name was Sergio. Used to have a big restaurant near the river called Buonissimo, which I think closed around 2011. He also had an Italian grocery store just off Changklan Road. The food in his restaurants was excellent.

On the Road Books on Ratvithi Road (not far from the UN Irish Pub) is still going strong.

Does anyone have any idea whether accounts held by people who regularly visit Thailand on visa exemptions are likely to be frozen at some point? I've had an account with SCB for the last 19 years, including a seven-year period living in Thailand with annual extensions of stay. Since then I have continued to visit Thailand a couple of times a year. I've regularly updated my details at the bank, which include my home address outside Thailand. Never had any problems so far. Is the convenience of having a bank account in Thailand to manage expenses while visiting in jeopardy? Has anyone in a similar situation had their account frozen?

Pongsakorn Dental Clinic, near the moat not far from Tha Phae Gate. Excellent dentist.

Prachuap Khiri Khan. Walkable, laidback, with lots of restaurants, mainly seafood. Also has an excellent Japanese restaurant.

You're welcome. I'm glad you no longer have any pain. His clinic used to be opposite the Amora hotel, but around 12 years ago. He's been in the current location since then.

Google Pongsakorn Dental Clinic. Not far from Thapae Gate. Excellent dentist. I've been going to see him for 17 years.

Bilaxten doesn't make me feel drowsy, although I don't take it on a regular basis.

This is the third time I've applied for an e-visa via the Rome embassy. The first two applications were successful. I may well have made a mistake this time round. I'll contact the embassy as suggested.

I haven't been able to find an answerable email.

Airlines almost always ask me to show them an onward ticket within 30 days if I opt for visa exempt. I know you can get onward flight tickets that are cancelled for around $15, but I'm not averse to spending a few days in Singapore. What niggles me is being unable to get any feedback on why the application was cancelled.

I plan to visit Thailand for 43 days. My plan B is to spend a few days in Singapore in the middle of this period and use visa exempt entries. Without knowing why the application was cancelled, I won't apply again for a 60-day visa, partly because time is running short ahead of my trip. I do visit Thailand often, but always arriving by air from Italy, and never using back-to-back entries, so I don't think the application could have been cancelled because I spend too much time in the country.

I received a no-reply email telling me that my 60-day visa application has been cancelled. On the e-visa website I can't find any way to find out why. Any ideas on how to get this information? The application was submitted to the Thai Embassy in Rome as I'm an Italian resident.

According to previous threads on this topic, maintaining a balance of 2,000 baht is enough to prevent closure of an account.

There are a couple of traditional barber shops half way up Suthep Road, on the same side as Wat Suan Dok. One of them has female barbers.

The Pattern Boutique Hotel in Thonburi has monthly rates. I paid 9,500 a month last November. Comfortable place 10 minutes walk from the Skytrain.
