  4. My wifes theory is the deal was already done, but I'm not mentioning any names just yet,
  5. Discount on all Beers would go down well,
  6. why not let tourist open a bank account instead of the nonsense you need a work permit, recently my daughter had the idea of opening a account so she could transfer an amount every month for when the next time she comes she already has her spending money saved up, when i told her about having a W/P she didn't believe me, ok you go to the bank tomorrow and see what they say, this is Thailand and they like their rules, ok no worries I will open one for you, Abolish that TM 30 just madness even most Thais I know think it's stupid
  7. I'll get my wife to ask him for you,
  8. My experience with customs over the years has not been easy they want to make their own rules as they go along how much they think they can get away with, but here in Phuket you can negotiate, ok i wasn't importing guitars get your self armed with some facts and figures, I had two run in with DHL they were calling me from Bangkok to come and collect the parcel and I live in Phuket I paid for door to door service so you deliver it to Phuket, OK send the parcel back about 2 weeks later I got a call from the Phuket customs they are not shy when it comes to money, OK sunshine Im not playing your stupid games get out your harmonization book and I will give the number to look up, I had already done it so I knew what it was it was only 5% bye now he is well pissed off, maybe you could look to see if there is an harmonization code for guitars, might be worth a look
  9. wouldn't you know it, I've got dengue again I went to the hospital today but I have to say this is nowhere near as bad as the first time, well they didn't keep me in like last time,

  11. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on May 15 2013 presided over the ceremony to mark the end of shackling inmates with iron chains and bars at maximum-security Bang Kwang Central Prison in Nonthaburi, ending a century-old practice which draws ire among rights groups as a human rights violation.
  12. I am wondering can he still play, 2 years out with all that stress, maybe he is damaged goods and he turns out out nowhere near what he was, then what will she say? I saw that Mendy went to play in France but I've not checked how he is doing,

  14. the problem for the hotels with payment on arrival, is the No Show and cancellation rate is high,
  15. Im not sure about that 22% commission expedia is a huge group of companies, from my information they are not very big out here in Asia, My friend tells me most of their bookings are coming from Trip.com I think Chinese outfit
  16. That happened to some friends of mine booked a 2 bedroom apartment in a 5 star resort in Karon they were given vouchers for a restaurant that wasn't opened,
  17. Pay on arrival is cheaper for the hotel less commission, plus they don't have to wait for Agoda to payout, if on booking.com if they collect payments at the time of booking it is 10 days to payout and they charge 17.2% commission, Im not sure about Agoda,
  18. That will keep them busy no mention of Rawai, one every 500 meters,
