Another one bites the dust. She is such a fav up here in Issan. Not.

I always pay it using the Online TOT website that others have noted using a credit card. Whether I am local in Nongbulamphu or in the states. I use a credit card that does not charge fees or exchange rate surcharges. One of few things that actually works AOK.

Disgusting! If the watch was returned, it should be sold and the proceeds donated to charity..

It is his money. He has the right to spend as he sees fit. Extravagant? Yes! Or are we into income re-distribution.

They named their store after my Shih tzu's dog's name "Tesco"

I have opened two savings accounts at Kasikorn on a tourist visa.

One in Nongbulamphu

One in BKK at Interchange

Not an issue what so ever.

Personally I do not see what all the worry is about if you have a level head and do not mingle with the protesters. The Sakaeo significant other and I came into BKK on election day and stayed on Sukhumvit. We are back and staying 100m down on Soi 19 and Sukhumvit. You just go with the flow and stay street smart.

This is not an answer to the OP's question but a comment. It is election time in the village we live in on 19 February .

Six different groups of people vying for whatever the positions are. They come around in teams to solicit her vote. Team A swept our

street. Team B cut the grass on our Soi. Team C and Team D offered 500 bt for her vote and the other 1500 bt for her vote. None of which

is guaranteed for she will probably not vote or vote depending which way the wind is blowing.

If I could vote it would be the team who would actually fix the Soi as it meets the main road. There is a 15m gap and it is like driving over the moon's landscape but no one

pays any attention to the farang.

Trying telling that to TG. Wife and I have had our Udon Thani/BKK/Singapore (return) flights canceled or changed 5 times. Latest

being today 18 January. Travel mess

Oh My what memories. 7th grade, Ford Jr. high, Ohio and deep puppy love for a girl named Cathy

I am not.

Move on to next topic.

Since you are a US resident there will be no problem for you to get a tourist visa in the US.

You can find a list of the various honorary Thai consulates in the US here. http://www.visetkaew.com/wp/directories/

If you use an honorary consulate you would be best to contact them to find out if you have to go to the honorary consulate with your documentation. The Atlanta, Georgia consulate will no longer accept an application by mail (UPS/Fed X). You have to go to the consulate in person. They than will send it back to you. They were told by the Thai consulate in DC to no longer accept mailed in applications. I know first hand for I contacted them first.

How am I going to ever explain this to my two Shih Tzus?.

I opened up an account in the Krung Thai Bank Branch in Exchange Tower at Asoke. And the Kasikorn Branch right next to the KTB branch.

All on a tourist visa. Done some years ago. No hassle whats so ever. I ultimately dumped KTB for its crappy banking website.

My preference is Kasikorn. My only other experience was Krung Thai and that was a miserable failure.

I use my several KBank accounts to transfer money, mobile phone top ups and bill paying. EN is clear and had no problems knowing what to do. Unlike Krung Thai.

My pleasure to see Suvarnabhumi International Airport in 2010. It was the most advanced airport I have sween any where. There is noting in the United States that well planned and beautiful. The article here is well taken and Thailand should be proud of a worldwode architectural and functional transporation facility. DEE MAK MAK!

As soon as I saw this headline I wondered how many would fall for it. Duhh. 01 April. AKA April Fools Day

If they are found ,could you please ask them to come and dognap next doors dog ,at least we would not have to put up with his barking all the time.

I am so sorry about that. Tesco and Big C (father and son Shih tzu) have driven me insane too. The wife will not have it in pawning them off to someone

What driving habits? I live up in Nongbulamphu and I drive as bad or worse then the locals. What rules of the road? Maybe in some book but none in reality. If my mother only knew how bad i drive up here. Speed freak

I am glad the perp was caught BUT I, personally, would not stick a toe in the scum water in Pattaya Beach.

Well, this explains why my order is late. Miss Blow-Up was so greatly anticipated. Rats

I arrived on Eva Air around 11:20am Sunday 03June. Did my normal rush out of the plane to pass all the folks I could expecting a line a mile lone. To my utter surprise there was literally no one queuing up. I got in and out in a flash and same with a taxi.

Landed same day but earlier at 11:30am. Immigration slammed with long lines.

One of the longest I've had to deal with in a long time. Lots of bloody idiots without

their paper work fully prepared. Clueless

Depends on arrival time.

airport extremely quiet when i landed dec 8 th 18 00 hrs.

from plane door to exit customs in 21 mins (inc collecting 2 items of checked luggage)
