  1. pp as in per person has been around for decades. It is also used for passport, that is correct. As with everything with language, it depends on the context. When you're talking pricing for tickets, tours, hotels etc it obviously means per person and not passport (you could actually extend that to per passport (holder) lol)
  2. Leaving the country is not a domestic flight. So ban this scum from international flights? I think so. They can hitch a ride on a barge, freighter, super yacht or a pirogue. Might even float home on their prayer mat....
  3. Normally Thai taxi drivers "find left behind" items..... but they aren't allowed into the airport. Lol.
  4. Try Bacobye ointment (15g tube, most pharmacies around town), or Bacheu ointment (5g tube, 90 baht, Boots)). I have a red rash, same areas, both legs, where scrotum rubs against the leg. Comes and goes, no itch, just red skin. Pharmacist recommended the aforementioned creams, Usually one or two hits over two days resolves the problem. However, it does reoccur. Both products contain Mupirocin 2%.

  6. Get a non-O, then a retirement extension, as you have done previously. Then get an unlimited multiple re-entry visa for one year, and there won't be any future hassles along the lines described.
  7. Bear in mind that geckos get into all kinds of tight spaces. I had them fry two circuit boards in both the internal as well as the compressor units of my split-system aircon, which was a very expensive exercise.
  8. Forget about the drugs, that's just a decoy thrown by the -alleged - offender and accepted all too easily by the police. Consideing this guy's background, being on some sort of early release from jail after serving time for sex offences, he probably went for the girl, the boy tried to defend her - being an inconvenient witness anyhow - and was murdered. The girl was probably sexually abused and possible murdered thereafter. The best we can hope for is that she escaped and is in hiding.
  9. Brit was a day early celebrating the coronation of Cauliflower Ears. In the process he did his bit for King and Empire in keeping a few of these renegade colonials in line......
  10. Well, she could at least coordinate her departure day with his - save on the taxi expenses. No need to carry any golf gear - Gambian God has a club and some balls.
  11. The sooner this clapped out airline is shut down, the better. I'm surprised they're still operating, must have had a taxpayer bail-out of sorts. All a bit like former national carrier South African Airways. Brought to its knees by incompetence and corruption. Kill it off, nobody needs it, real world airlines service the market quite adequately. Staff neglecting their duties were probably sorting out and hiding their for-resale-profit bought duty free items....... wasn't that the biggest benefit for all those Thai staff? Anyone recall those so-called Thai Hisos with all their excess baggage, free of charge? Typical Thailand.
  12. He'd be a shoe-in at Big C with that 1960s ice street ice cream vendor's overall.....
  13. I wonder if the cave rescue team - led by foreign experts - of the Thai boy footballers a few years ago also first asked for payment, a deposit or a credit card when they discovered and swam up tothe stranded boys a few kilometers inside the cave system. This is in response to a comment here - and I had exactly the same experience - where a hospital asked for payment first before even administering some pain relief treatment. This is just disgusting behaviour by a medical institution toward injured or pain-stricken persons approaching them for help.
  14. Just did my intl lic yday (505 baht). 2 x passport photos, Thai 5-yr driving licence, passport. residency cert fr immigration. Nice to bring your own photocopies along, but they did their own anyway at DLT Chonburi office. For Ptya residents: intl lic not avlble in Banglamung DLT, you need to go to Chonburi HO. Res cert 300 baht, no docs required, just pp and filled out form (avlble at the office, in my case Chonburi/Sri Racha. 15 mins, done. No ID requirements (bills etc). Intl kic is valid for 2 yrs + in my case (exp on bday in 2025, so got 26 months of validity out of it). For an extra 55 baht they updated my 5-yr TH drivers licence, new passport number, new photo (taken by them at the DLT office), = new plastic card. Same expiry date as old one.
  15. PM me, if you wish, for some more comments re your VT topic. Not sure if you're still checking this chat.
