Sounds like Hong Kong, the missus has been to both and says Hong Kong is much better. I thought it was boring when I was there, only good for taking the girl to Disney.

Also make sure the stamp you out. They didn't me and 3 years later had issues leaving the country. Didn't get picked up at Pattaya immigration at visa ext, but did at Non Khai.

I applied years ago after leaving UK military. Took them 3 years to call me for an interview, by which time I had a half decent job in aerospace. Very surprised they can't fill their positions from the British unemployed. The pay didn't seem bad then.

Too close for comfort, but the wind is taking it away from my home fortunately.

Have fun.

Me too, asked for help on a few issues electronic stuff as I don't have any of that on my 16 year old Vigo. Then drove off. One thing though, I would not have black car, looks great in the showroom but needs washing by the time you get it home, shows up everything.

Bang Saray is much better.

Too many places selling stuff on the pavement, bikes usually parked up flower pots scattered around dodgy paving slabs and manhole covers nearly forgot the dangling cables which may or may not be live. Best though was when looking at stalls selling on the pavement on 2nd road Pattaya in the evening after dark, about 20 years ago. I stumbled into an elephant coming the other way. Very fast and silent. Luckily it stopped and was very placid, I even bought sugar cane for it as a thank you for not squashing me.

3 days in hospital for an endoscopy, wow, was there complications. Had mine done at Phyathai Sri Racha. They had an offer on at the time, but I'm sure it ended up a little over 20k fortunately my insurance paid for it. In and out same day very professional, I thought.

Getting rice in a a restaurant first and then waiting 15 minutes for the rest of my food annoys the he'll out of me.

There are also some dwarf plants which give Cavendish looking bananas. I tried to buy them a couple of years ago, no success. The ones I grow look like Cavendish but once they ripen they go soft and gel like very quickly, especially in the hot season. Taste great though.

I had done my 90 days a couple of weeks before going to Laos.

Thanks . I don't leave the country much last time 4 years ago, worried that things may have changed. Didn't want to add to the post New Year queues.

Just a quickie to see if anything has changed. Arrived back in Thailand on the 25 th Oct . I had recently done my 90 day and its due again now. Do I still have 90 days from my re-entry date making it around the 20th?

BBQ chicken , with sticky rice and a very tasty tamarind sauce. Sorry no photos just brought it home and ate it for lunch. Everywhere round here at the roadside. Bang Saray, Sattahip area.
