Today is Christmas Day right?!

Anything resembling a half-decent Christmas dinner in Chonburi or Siracha please post

My definition of a half-decent Christmas dinner would be a dinner that caters to farangs with some Christmas farang food.

Holidays for me start Jan 28. Looking forward to some R&R and cleaner air.

Nothing at all wrong with dual pricing. I do it all the time. Whenever I've priced a used car to sell I will sell it one price to a stranger, one price to a friend of a friend, one price to a friend, and heck, I've even given 'em away to some friends.

Let's be friends

TIT = This is Thailand

Thanks for your asnwer. Will go the TRV route.

She works "cash in hand" at an Issan food restaurant. Would a letter stating employment from the boss be enough or do they want to see taxes paid?

My wife and I hope to visit Canada next summer for a holiday.

Is this the correct route for us?

Why is Microsoft at 35 and Google 700+ I dont get it.

I should have bought Google last year.

Anybody know if there is some sort of Thailand Nightlife (dj type events) email newsletter?

Would like to have all the info sent to my inbox

your girlfriend if she is from Thailand will need a visa before going to Taiwan

please report and let us know how it goes!

My mio hardly starts with the electric starter

Especially if its been sitting in the parking lot for a long time

I wouldn't recommend a mio to a friend

It bother me that it's automatic and I still have to mess with the choke all the time.

ps. Was bought second hand

I had a great experience. I think the tour company's name is "Noi"

Their bus is orange as I mentioned above

Tealit.com and Forumosa.com for Taiwan.

I'd recommend showing up there and doing interviews to find a school that you like.

Stay away from agents.

Good luck

The bus picks up infront of the 2 tall office buildings beside Big C.

The first bus is at 830-900am

They stop and flash their lights, there was no English sign that said "Casino Bus"

The bus was orange and had a "C" on it.

On the Friday, there were several empty seats,

It was 200 baht for me and 100 baht for wife. (RETURN)

They forgot to give us our buffet tickets but we were able to find the staff in one of the casinos and she sorted us.

At Aranya it was very quick for me tp get through there were no farangs waiting in line.

The Thais were lined up, it took about 10 mins for my wife to stamp out of Thailand.

Once in Poi Pet (boarder) we were smart ebough to ignore everyone who talked to us. Was not smart enough to ignore the boarder guards, they just wasted my time telling me they'd stamp me into Cambodia for a fee when I just had to walk 300 m and stamp myself in. I highly reccommend the Cambodia Evisa. It takes no time to stamp in if you get it in advance. After stamping in to Cambodia, I stamped out right away.

The bus company we used left at 5pm and 7pm (or 730pm I forget)

We spent time in the casinos and took the first bus back at 5pm.

There are maybe 2 black jack tables at the 4 casinos we visited. If anyone knows where there are more black jack tables I'd like to know. Free beer while you are playing...

It was so hot there. Walking 100 m is killer. I recommend an umbrella.

Overall a great time. Will be back in 3 months.

Informative advice, thanks!

Thank you for reply. Can't he go by bus, it's cheaper...

He has a 1 year mutiple non B.

You mentioned "re-enter" do you mean on that same visa, just want to make sure that it wont be cancelled.

I have a friend who is about 2 weeks overstayed on his Non B.

Would it be possible for him to pay the fine and keep his visa going or is it automatically canceled?

If this is for a visa run as opposed to a day at the tables, beware. I have 2 friends that were forced to leave the bus as a couple of hi-so tossers wanted 2 seats. They were told to get off. As i understand it 1 of them was doing a visa run, but both intended to spend money in the casinos.

Did your friends get on in Bang Na?

Also are there lots of buses stopping there throughout the day or is there a best time to show up?

When determining the amount of consecutive days I assume Saturdays and Sundays count even if you don't work them?

I asked this in the other thread but thought about making a new one for those who live out here.

Does anyone know the location of where the casino buses pick up in Bang Na?

Planning this trip for next week. A few questions!! I plan to get my Cambodisa visa online, they'll actually email it!!

What is the closest BTS stop to Lumpini Park?

I plan to bring my Thai partner. Does she have to pay any money for the Cambodia visa?

THANKS!!

watching this topic...keep it up please

would like to see some photos/details/plans/ and of course PRICES

Hutch at Carrefour has got this mobile USB router that you can connect anywhere and get an internewt connection.

Anyone using it?

Costs about 5,000 for the router and 999 / month for unllimited service

If you pay 12500 up front for 1 year service you get the router free.

Am curios about what speeds of up down they guarantee but the brochure is in Thai.

Anyone using HUTCH?

I'm very interested in torrents

TOT is a joke, they stopped our phone line because we missed 2 payments of 107 baht a month (we were out of town). We tried to pay at the TOT office here, but they are not connected to the TOT there (uprovince). Finally had some time off work to take the 3 bus 6 hour journey and they closed the office in our district so we had to ride our motorbike 30 kms. Told them we dont want the phone line if we cant pay it from where i work. Had to pay at one office, then go to another to cancel the line.

Where we are staying now, outside BKK about 40 mins, my TOT internet has been on and off over the last 2 weeks, mnore off than on. I've made several phone calls to talk about which lights AREN'T on on my router.

/END RANT

Seems TOT is blocking utorrent

Can connect to seeders, sometimes 20 at a time but hardly anything comes down the pipe

Several times it has stopped downloading at all and my internet still works
