Don't you have to visit soi 5 immigration with the agent to have your photo taken?

They are but the rest of the bars, clientele, and attitude of the staff puts me off going these days.

Changed so much since the good old 90s. Much more fun & easy-going back then. Also about 95% of customers were westerners.

We still have Moonshine, almost unchanged in years, plus Jungle Jim's, Fanny's, they are last of their kind in SC

I remember Steve of Moonshine. 

I played for the darts team in the 90s.

Used to be the late night expat hangout in the mid to late 90's and early 00's. I was down there nearly every night! Saw Trink many times on our travels!

 

Some great bars down there; Pam's, Shark, Dollhouse, Cactus, Five Star, The Old Dutch, Penny Black upstairs etc...

 

All turned into a bit of a tourist trap neon wonderland now. The charm has definitely been lost.

Don't forget Shadow, Darling Bar, Our Place, Blue Bar, Black & White ......  ????

How many of you use the buses from time to time? Just wondering what the payment methods are for the regular buses, aircon or not. Is it still cash with the bus conductor?  Cheers.

UEFA Champions League final Manchester City vs Inter Mailand.

Can't see City losing to Inter Mailand!  

Never trust a customer who orders runner beans!   

Love snooker, even 6 red, but will be watching in the comfort of home with a much better view.  ????

Both schools have good reputations. 

Look at the websites & read the reviews. 

Book a visit to both with your child and see for yourself. 

Tigers are FAR more beautiful!  ????

It's about time supermarkets had a "Cash Only" checkout.

Big C did have a few weeks ago because the system for card & phone payment was down  .... again!  

Meet outside terminal 21 first floor entrance near Super Rich exchange. 

Walk to Soi 31. Takes only 10 mins.

However, be warned, it is taking seventeen weeks, yes, seventeen weeks to renew a British passport from here.

Recently received my new UK passport. It took 10 weeks. However, you should plan for around 15.  

Should never have gone to Qatar, but as a lover of football I'll be watching what I can. Certainly won't be staying up til 2:00am however. Highlights on YouTube at times. Watch out for Brazil, France & Argentina.  ????

Those Thais who can speak English can watch and listen to live matches on the BBC and ITV.....with a VPN of course.

If people love football then I'm sure they could watch it in any language if they have to. It's football NOT a documentary.

Please, no corny puns, ok?

Special interest in cereal criminals. 

I was asked by a UK neighbour while relaxing by the mansion pool recently in BK if he could receive his UK Pension in a few years if he only has a Thai bank account now. I had to tell him, "sorry mate I have no idea" 

Can anyone comment please?  

Applied for mine 8 weeks ago, so I reckon that's about half way. Hoping to get before new year ..... hoping!
