Sorry but i have to put my 2 pence worth in ! i personaly think he didnt give that job up ! i mean come on do you think he gives a hoot about thai - saudi relationships ? noooo!, i think the goverment lost face on the promtion part after realising the saudis where watching a bit more than they thought, so basicly told him hes not getting the job, but to save face he can step down from the offer and get another cushy job somewhere else ! I mean come on if thailand had its way they would put up a magic curtain so nobody can see whats going on, change everything, then bring it down again so nobody knows what happened !

hrrmmm ! bail insurance ah ! cant see that being very practical as most bail is another word for backhander !

Hi was wondering if anybody knew of a way to get airside so you can buy duty free at the shops, i know the obvious buy a cheap ticket ! but was just looking to get through buy some international brand ciggarettes and pay the dutys and taxs on the way back through ! ANY IDEAS ???

This is really quiet a simple one ! if they dont ask you dont tell ! was a long time ago when my wife got a spouse visa but they never asked about debts it was wages,bank statements that sort of thing if they dont ask you dont need to tell ! as for getting banned for 10 years thats only if you lie on her application and if your not asked about debts then your not lieing !! what happens after you go back to the uk is totally different if the debt collectors catch up thats a hole new scenario which doesnt matter as you didnt lie intially !

Yes point taken ! i do forget sometimes about the exchange rate and often compare things to the pound out of habit i suppose ! but will be defianetly looking for some of those good deals thx.

Flights are so expensive from here to the uk nearly 50000baht for 2 singles one being a child age 7, you can get 2 returns in the uk for that! Just like other things in thailand, over priced taxis on samui,phuket etc! i am starting to think thailand has one goal and that is to rip the tourist of completely ! in every way ! not a pattaya lover but not bad ! but thats the cheapist place ive been in thailand apart from the boonies !

Why dont russia follow up with counter charges and request extradition ! that would make all this very interesting !

I stayed in the corus hotel over your budget but anywhere along that road is within walking distance to embassy ! and nightlife werent to bad round there !

This is a no brainer really the goverment doesnt want the tourists to feed the elephants so as to try and force them of the streets !, so fine the unsuspecting tourist, its a good money maker, instead of confiscating any elephants on the streets and putting them in a wild life reserve which would cost them money ! ner fine the tourists make some money ! what next ? fine tourists for giving street beggars money ! this countrys laws are a joke !

thanks might take a look in the next week or so ! You can get them at stalls all over pattaya but they are fakes ! i know i bought a 1000 and they where very poor quality, burned extremely quick and tasted like sawdust !

Im looking at buying some lambert and butler cigarettes ! I have tried king power in bangkok but all they say is the airport !. Even said i would pay taxes but still can only get from the airport, have looked at the customs licenses and from my understanding you can bring in the cigarettes as long as you have the license and pay the duties. Anyway is there anyway of getting an airside pass to go to the duty free shop get your cigarettes and come back through without actually flying out anywhere.

Do not buy cigarettes from street vendors ! Fakes !

Yes it is ! we moved to south thailand they live in north, my choice ! sending money to the family wasnt so much a problem as was half ditched with grandmother who has now passed, after she worked in a low cost bungalow resort and was paid pittance, when we moved to uk she wanted to send money to her sis and mother ! fine i said you can send them your wages from work ! Happened twice until she saw a new contract phone she wanted and asked for ! i told her to pay for it out of her own wages ! she did ! sorry family no money she says ! obviously different when it was coming from her pocket and stopped her luxuiries !

Lambert and butlers ! they dont sell them ! not that i know of anyway !

Anybody any experience in bringing cigarettes in to thailand ? thinking of bringing some duty free ones through maybe 5 or 6 packs of 200's . I have heard of getting extreme fines if getting caught but what about if you declare them and pay duties up to the thai price of cigarettes which shouldnt be that much ! will they do that ??

Hey might not get u it any quicker but will certainly give u some satisfaction, i had a problem with the electric company with a disputed bill ! they werent budging and were going to cut us of if we didnt pay the bill 3 months after the dispute, anyway cut to the chase get all documents ready and right and when all is checked and ready to proceed and they ask for the payment make sure youve been to the bank and withdrawn the fee in 1 baht coins and then empty all said 1 bahts into tesco bag to make sure they have to count it !!

Heres an idea ! Thaksin comes back and they hold snap elections for the reds ! ha ha ! he loves them that much !

I know a couple of people who have done these tests in the london area, and have passed and they defianetly are not up to scratch in fact i think they had someone do it for them and it did cost a bit ! not implying to cheat mind but where there is a will there is way !

Fine him half of his money and tell him the other half will be waiting for him when he collects it in person within 30 days or it is forefeited !

So these guys get caught and deny knowledge of the arms, and are released as it is no benefit to try them in thailand ! Some poor guy gets caught with a hand full of viagra or valium and is sold them in a pharmacy believing it legal, and there looking a couple of years ! yer right that makes sense !

I have sometimes and i live in a single story house, sure its something to do with the water, but i use johnsons baby soap and seems to work for me !

Gotta love some of these replies ! Not sticking up for her or anything by the way, but if she had just been caught it would have been cant do the time dont do the crime replies, but since shes done the time its now shes a junky always was or what was she thinking rubbish ! get over it duh !

And here's me thinking the thai new year was in april ! talk about trying to spoil everything ! good job there not a super power !
