I  Have just heard [23rd Aug] a very good friend of mine has died in Thailand..he was last heard of in the Kanchanaburi area...he had been out there for many yrs

His name was ALAN NICHOLSON..he was 69yrs old..and an electrician...he came from England ...the Chessington area...along with myself his many friends are in disbelief .

IF ANY MEMBERS KNOW OF HIM  COULD YOU PLEASE GET INTOUCH...AT THE MOMENT WE DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS ETC.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO...PLEASE GET INTOUCH

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS...AND ANYHELP YOU MAY HAVE.....................THX 

Does anyone know if there is a consulate on Samui now...?

At the Current rate of spending about 2.5 years.

But obviously if that's all I had I could make it last a lot longer - maybe 5years.

Not long in NANA PLAZA

......k that

I take coffee,washing up liquid[far better than ours in UK] soap powder[far better]curry pastes,penang,green,massaman etc + loads of other things

Tourists in Chiang Mai are dying from the smoke.

Samui is DEAD also

Damn foreigners. If they didn't complain then we wouldn't have these problems. Don't they understand Thainess? It's our country and you must accept that this is the way it is here. Curse you foreigners.

Oh really...where would Thailand be now if it were not for foreigners/tourists...up the swanee WITHOUT a paddle...thailand is a 3rd/4th world country and thats the way it will always be untill the get rid of Thainess....with comments like that...whats your trade..?...Merchant Banker..?

I have read all the comments on here...NOT one for Samui....with VERY GOOD REASON...I have been a Samui man for 30yrs now[live in Lamai]...the scams are getting worse by the day taxis/beach vendors.shops/bars etc..do your self a favour give it a widw berth.

I would not have been saying this 5/7yrs ago..its a shame & breaks my heart to say it now,but its true.

The reason for this...95% is all the scum from ISSAN have descended on Samui...they think it's TREASURE ISLAND...bar girls/shop workers in particular...I could go on & on...any one who wants to know more...PM me

What do Thai's export besides rice/chicken/soy sauce....so every one..come on eat more chicken & rice sprinkle with soy sauce to the tune of 3.5% arond the world.....

Use a company called "send my case"...check them out on internet....

On Samui you need a "Proof of Residence" from Immigration, signed copy of passport, for both the seller and buyer,and the transfer form. It is apparently easy to do yourself but I used an agent located near the DLT office at a cost of 800 baht including the DLT fees. They did all of the paper work, except PoR, and took the bike for the inspection. The green book was ready the next week.

Good post this is...i did exactly this same in DLT in Lipa Noi ....proof of Res immigration 500 bht...take abt an hr...

Wanna re-name the place...DEVILS ISLAND

As football fan and watching Gerrard this season he would be better packing up altogether...he was slow at world cup & seems to be getting slower...in fact a bottle of milk can turn quicker than him...Rodgers is no fool he knows Gerrard is finished.

Mind you i dont suppose he is short of a few ££££$$$

Might be easier for your wife to get a loan if it was in her name as she could use the car for collateral, don't know how it would make it easier for you though. It's easy enough for a falang to get car insurance, don't see any advantage of putting the car in your wife's name.

What ever you do...GET IN YOUR NAME ONLY...trust me...your money..your name..OK....protect yourself...dont listen to her friends,they will be "batting" for her....OK

He can go to his embassy for advice (since that is all they will give him).

That's it, like it or not.

Sorry to say this...."som nom na"

I went over via Raja on 18th...was the worst crossing in over 20yrs...it was rolling from side to side...for abt 20 seconds thought we were going to turn turtle...did scare me.

there are some nasty wretched things in those bars.

Yep. Cheapskates with flip flops, cargo shorts, tats and singlets. For a white man to argue over 30 baht is pathetic when it could have been a genuine mistake, maybe you both should have paid the higher price and maybe you humiliated the girl and got her into trouble.

serves her right

Now I am really worried for those young scapegoats.

As an ex copper....so am i.....BIG TME

thais think money grows on trees in western countries....it does if you own the orchard....

As a former tiler in the UK...its the best base to use [old tiles]...just make sure new tiles are NOT same size so joints dont match...before doing it use UNIBOND to seal [or thai eqv] also put some unibond in new adhesive...and they will stick like "shit to a blanket"...the house will fall down b 4 the tiles come off...good luck

Don't want to sound..well organised...but had you known about your trip & extension req before setting off on your trip you could have booked firefly well in advance...I also have a dble ent tourist visa..i knew my dates etc and got a return from Samui to Penang for 3500bhtbooked well in advance.

But you best option would be rent a car & go to Sadeao...can do in a day but over night is prob best for you & family....Good luck

Go you Thais....let Tony have a go ...look how he F.......d up in the UK...he will lead you into debt for sure...5555
