  1. Anyone going to KL or surroundings may be interested in this. https://www.toyboxprojects.com/timburton
  2. They used to bring items into Padang Besar Thailand through the no man's land at the back of the old train station. One man would sit on the wall then pass it to motorbike riders who would race off through the rubber plantation which has gone also. Some unlikely items like onions and cooking oil.
  3. Ao Manao nothing special. Have to go south of Prachuap to find anything ok.
  4. If the OP had a ten year old passport would the new passport with a new photo still be recognised by the face scan? Some people change quite a lot as they age.
  5. Cham Yeam has a separate window for non locals - Cambodians, Thais.
  6. Trains to Bangkok now arrive at the new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal aka Bang Sue Grande. There are free showers there. Need to show your long distance ticket to use.
  7. So much for Ream being a secret deleted deep water port.
  8. Malaysia has increased the komuter train frequency during morning and afternoon rush hours to every 30 minutes Padang Besar to Butterworth and vv.
  9. The kommuter train from Butterworth to Padang Besar can't be booked online. Train good. Van bad
  10. Yes easy to exchange. Can pay baht for visa on a Thai/Cambodia immigration office. Thai baht often used close to Thai border in stores, etc. Some stores in Koh Kong have the price on items in Baht. No problem changing in most cities and bigger towns especially those that get tourists.
  11. I have no experience with this company. It's more common than I expected. https://lacliniquephnompenh.com/body/liposuction/
  12. Always worth looking in the relevant local forum. Avoid the "experts"
  13. Just because they say something it doesn't make it the law. Ask to speak to the OIC.
  14. The casino is owned by a former Thai politician who is wanted in Thailand for stealing . I believe also wanted in USA. Poipet is in Cambodia. Not "a God forsaken country"
  15. Still asking for THB 2000 there. They will come down a bit if you are prepared to wait.
  16. Previously if you crossed the road any vehicle coming along would veer off to go behind you. That rarely happens now. So much more traffic in the last year or so. Where did it come from? Krud giveaways? I was in Koh Kong recently. There is a morning and afternoon rush hour when it is impossible to cross the two main streets safely. Very few Cambodians wear spectacles. Maybe that is a contributing factor.
  17. Coming thru the border crossing near Koh Kong recently there was a tail back of trucks about half a mile long. Logistic companies in Koh Kong are flat out moving goods on
  18. Trains between Haad Yai and Padang Besar have been cancelled due to the bombing at Sadao
