this is the flood outside my hotel on sukhamvite road near asok /  soi cowboy now

it was almost as bad at 7 pm tonight and three customers wanted to get to a

resturant on the left of this picture but the water was still about 6 inches deep

so the resturant got two staff to ferry them across one by one sitting on a three wheeled cart !

thainess at its best .. you gotta love this place ... bless :)

To get the MRT senior card (50% travel discount) you just have to be over 60

i only use the mrt to get to patpong / sathorn or the river which isnt very often

so i dont need one :)

If I remember correctly somebody here said the problem was that someone in the group jamming was bragging on facebook or whatever how he got free meals/beer or something in return.  True or not I have no idea,

it was true !

which prompted this immigration meeting in the imperial mea ping hotel

which lots of ferangs attended ( including me )

to talk about what we could ( as  ferangs / forergners  ) or not do without a work permit

in thailand on the 7th june 11

So you didn't have to pay the 50? for the card?

yes i did ... the cost of the first card is about 150 baht ish

so i had about 850 baht ish credit so i was happy not having to queue

every time i got on or off the bts coz i use it a lot when im in bangkok 

just tap the card on the top of the gate to get on

the same off .... and it automaticly takes off what youve spent

no queueing waiting or getting change for the

ticket machines

so i can get to caturday cat cafe quicker from asok .. heaven :)

You can top it up with credit card at BTS stations

thats what ive been doing up till now but ohh dear

according to the rules of 16 april 16

i shouldnt even have one

it says .. senior rabbit cards can only be used by thai senior citizens

aged 60 years and over according to date of birth as shown on citizens id

( must state year of birth as 1956 or before ) which must be presented upon

request by bts staff !

when i asked for one at asok she asked me for id so i gave her my thai driving licence and 60 seconds later she gave me a senior rabbit card loaded with the 1000 baht i had given her !

maybe the rules have changed now ?

ps .. im going to england in a few weeks so ill ask about it when i get

down to bangkok

if you have a Rabbit card, there is absolutely no reason not to get a 10% discount (and not even have to fumble with cash and change).

ive got a rabbit card for the bts when im in bk 

but ive no idea if i could use it in a mc donalds in chiang mai ?
