Very easy to find high quality glasses from Nikon, Hoya, Essilor, at least in Bangkok, but I am sure other cities too. Essilor has plants in Thailand.

Hi all, This question is for cyclists in Ubon. I need to repair a MTB (câbles) and need to drive 2 hours to Ubon. I went several times to MT Bike in the past years but last time, 2 years ago, had a bad experience with some crazy woman complaining because I did not buy my bicycle in her shop and told me to go elsewhere (the technicians were cool by the way). Would you still recommend this shop ? I need an alternative just in case my wrong karma repeats itself, I found Thanasikanon Cycling in Google Maps, any opinion or any alternative ? Thanks in advance

I highly recommend the reading of the Wikipedia page about Thai airways, particularly the history and the "corporate affairs". It explains a lot and does not suggest a bright future.

Having read most of the replies, I wish you good luck to make an informed decision. Maybe the good one is to go to IO as soon as possible to solve this as requests from IO officers are unpredictable but from my experience it is not a good idea to go there last minute for anything as I suspect officers might feel pressured and they dont like that All the stories about showing two passports to pass customs are to say the least extremely dubious.

I dont really understand the debate as I have never seen in the news any police raid on western people working on Internet or of any of them being banned from staying. Authorities wont ask you where your money comes from. The bad scenario some refer would be the following: you make friends with other farangs, they look cool and know so much about Thailand, you tell them how cool is your life. But as they are not cool they are going to send your name to the tax office and your life wont be so cool. Dont know if these stories I read sometimes are true or urban legend but the psycho expats are real.
