  1. Are you talking about Tammerchat ferry? I 'had' to use it a few weeks ago. Out comes the hand held net with your change and ticket drive 10mtrs hand the ticket to more staff. Has always been this way. We were waiting for a couple of hours until my wife's car was delivered there and unloaded. I walked over to the ticket office to buy tickets for 2 cars, they refused and made me drive back up, U turn and drive back to the ticket office. no big queues that day either. Mrs B had to pull over until I came 2 cars behind as I had the tickets.
  2. Was Koh Chang. FM he apologized with a Wai and settled out of court. The guy was a dickhead, and complained about a corkage fee of 50b, that was clear on their menu, after taking his own bottle of gin inside.
  3. So many here comment without reading the full story, it has become boring.
  4. Really then what happened when you drove another 10 meters to hand them a ticket, unless they are.... ? oops better not say.
  5. Those early days here were so cool, 50b for hut at White sand at what is now KC grand resort. no Lecky, check in was key and, a oil lamp. Small bonfires on the beach, smoking and drinking. Old lady on reception selling small bags of weed.
  6. Crust Bakery Klong Pro opposite the temple.
  7. Oh that's where it is in between the 2 car ferries, satellite image only shows a beach no pier. Just saying.
  8. I would ask them where their speedboat leaves from as I have never seen one boarding passengers from either of the main ferry ports. just saying and would be very interested to know.
  9. He opened a bar/café in Klong Son a few years ago, it was not very successful, and closed. I don't know if he is still about.
  10. Yes it is still there down a very steep hill . A short walk around from there around 'Rock sands" resort will bring you past some of the cheapest places on the beach, 'Pens Bungalows' are my favorite, and IMO the best restaurant on White Sand beach, rooms around 600-800baht. By the way I think I recognize the guy in the army shirt his name is Choy and still here and still the same tash. I avoid him.
  11. Just to remind all I did post about Centre Point ferry is back running and they issue return tickets. Very limited service at the moment only 4 a day (unless they put on more for the holiday). earlier this month I used it and it only had about 10 vehicles on it. You can only buy tickets on the Trat side, from Koh Chang just drive straight on pay other side. You don't have to get out the car and the nice lady selling tickets Smiles, which is more than I can say of the miserable lot at the other ferry.
  12. That's not funny my GF told me her buffalo is very sick.
  13. But that won't stop them racing etc., and what's to stop anyone with a license renting multiple bikes from different shops? There is supposed to already be fines in place at these shops, it doesn't work.
  14. They are rich kids who don't give a toss, and it seems their rich Parents don't either. Stick 'em in a jail for a week or two. cancel their visas, & ban for 5 yrs. Next case please.
  15. I take it out the freezer, leave it out but put in fridge while still cold to the touch.
  16. Depends on the area, but just cross hatch the original tiles, with a grinder (Diamond blade).
  17. Sorry but not true, Doesn't sound like she needed surgery. My missus had her appendix removed and was charged 30b including meds. I also new a young lady on welfare, with TB, 2 weeks in an isolation ward ZERO baht.
  18. Yeh a whole 30b for a Thai. More like not want probs. with the cops.
  19. No you are wrong it is still valid within the country as is your extension until the expiry date.
  20. Sounds sus to me 8am do 'security' work at that time?
  21. What was wrong with the 18 wheeler truck driver to hit a truck in front? He could have easily have hit a M/C travelling the right way, yet alone the wrong way.
