  1. Many years ago when I lived in Lanna, UK passports could be renewed at the British Consulate in Chiang Mai. Sadly the service is no longer available.
  2. When a massed Chinese tour party arrives (with respect)???
  3. Oh dear - stagger "hissed" from the bar/night club, fall into the plane and throw up in the cabin!!
  4. Very much so, and thanks, but it regularly happened on Air Asia flights from Khon Kaen (KKC) to DMK. I used to sit and watch many Thai passengers in the "red seats" being given pre-packed food from the trolley which was then placed in a bag and taken off the plane for consumption at a later time! I found out that these passengers were Government/Local Government employees who were given upgraded red seats and food. Maybe they all had tapeworms - not unusual from eating Thai raw food!
  5. Maybe so, but you have the option to discard the add-ons when making your booking e.g. Choice of seat - delete Book a meal - delete Travel Insurance - delete Baggage in hold - delete - the fare decreases accordingly and then, with respect, compare with Nok Air. For reference: Only Thai Air Asia, Malay Air Asia and Bangkok Airways serve Siem Reap in Cambodia. Nok Air has no flights to Cambodia.
  6. Very sorry to read of your concerns and I have heard other peoples comments (as above) when I lived near Khon Kaen. Similar with the local RAM hospital - both very expensive (medical insurance). I used the private Rachapruek Hospital around the corner, northwards on Route 2, not "5-Star Hilton Hotel" luxury but ideal for me as I did not qualify for medical insurance being an insulin dependent Type 2 diabetic. I wish you well.
  7. Pheu Thai to Spearhead the Formation of New Thai Government Interesting:
  8. Same for me (when I lived in Thailand). As a "valued" (air miles) customer, I received a small discount. I used to book on line then confirm by paying cash at my local 7-11 (no card details involved).
  9. My 5 "likes" when I lived in Thailand:- 1. The magnificant mountain scenery of Lanna. 2. Inexpensive diesel for my pick-up truck (allowed me to explore most of Northern Thailand). 3. Being invited to be a Tourist Police Volunteer (after 34 years in UK Police Service). 4. Chiang Mai. 5. Thai Air Asia's bargain tickets for domestic and local ASEAN destinations ("Fly-Thru")
  10. My 5 pet hates (when I lived in rural Thailand) 1. Bureaucratic requirements for a retirement visa. 2. Chillies. 3. Loud screaming drunk Thai women at pool tables/karaokes. 4. Floor level toilets with plastic bowl and tub of water to flush/clean 5. Regular water supply interruptions to my house.
  11. Definitely a "hot line"!!
  12. Oh really - not if there is Civil unrest and another military coup!!
  13. Well I never - I did not know the Red Bull heir was a lady boy!!
  14. For reference from link to OP: Collaborating with the Marine Resources Research Center, the park officials arranged for the wounded turtle to be taken into care. A vet from the centre ........................................................ collected the animal, confirming its planned course of rehabilitation,
  15. Unbelievable - can't he and his Senator cronies get it into their thick dinosaur skulls that they are responsible for the unrest!! For reference (google) and just about sums them up:- While the dinosaurs grew bigger, their brains didn't keep up. By the time the sauropods, like brontosaurus, reached 100 tons and 110 feet long, their brains were only the size of tennis balls.Nov 4, 2020
  16. Sour milk sounds (and smells) awful, but for reference:- Sour milk might sound unappetizing, but you’ll be surprised to learn that it has a plethora of uses in the kitchen. The acidity in sour milk can aid in tenderizing meats, giving a tangy flavor to baked goods, and even enhancing the taste of the beloved mac and cheese. https://thekitchencommunity.org/recipes-which-use-sour-milk/
  17. Pattaya Police Chief Teams Up with Kuwaiti Ambassador to Tackle Kuwaiti Motorbike Racers
  18. Congratulations. Maybe TAT should recruit you to provide the correct figures!!
  19. But please do not remove a wall poster as a souvenir!!
  20. Regretably, probably not from the local Koh Tao police or Governing "mafia". CCTV and possible DNA evidence now missing??? No autopsy report mentioned.
