  1. Hi , as you suggest in the title you want to take money home, so when you are "at home" why not simply use your visa card from e.g. Bangkok Bank and withdraw

    50.000 thb equivalent per day , 20 days and you have your 1.000.000 thb. Cost is 100 thb per transaction.

    Will the Be1st cards with the chip in them work in foreign ATM's? I remember reading that in Thailand they only work in Bangkok Banks.

    Be1st cards can be used in France , the Netherlands and Belgium so probably everywhere in Europe, dont know about the UK though. ATMs that accept Visa ofcourse.

  2. The airline must return you to the point of origin, if that is not possible they must return you to your home country.

    You may have to pay them in full but they are required to take you. If you don't pay they can and likely will sue you.

    How do they determine the "home country" it is quite possible to have a passport of a EU country and never ever set foot there, living in a different EU country than that of your passport

  3. Yes it is the Surin border crossing. Cambodia visa is about 1000 baht. There are no fees on Thai side of border.

    I have crossed there three times, and each time they tried to charge me 200 - 300 baht at the Thai side. Just get your stamp and tell them you paid already.

    Never heard of the Thai Arrival charging T money only the Cambodian Arrival/Departure Office which is directly across from the Cambodian visa shack. BTW both of these are in Cambodia.

    Correct , it is that office. It is not like they ask T money, they just give your stamp and say "200 bath". They do not insist when you refuse to pay. Maybe not always, but it happened to me and last month to my German neighbour (he did not know and paid).

  4. To me Nakhonchai Air is the best. Dont remember what time they leave Surin , but arrive Pattaya around 5 pm.

    The Golden class does stop not in Korat, takes the direct route so saves you a lot of time and hassle.

    They have their own terminal a little north of the city (of Surin).

  5. - The two meter copper stake should be enough to ground the whole system. Better to plant it in soil that is more or less moist the whole year, like close to a water well.

    - Make sure you have a seperate grounded wire available in the area where you will put appliances like fridges, washing machines : some need to be grounded by a seperate wire, meaning there is no ground wire in the plug.

    - I would add a dedicated circuit for the sockets outside or garage (or any socket that might get humid) ... or invaded by those micro-ants
