Neeroys does some lovely Pies, I have Meat & Potato pie almost every time I go there..

Also there is a good, cheap Indian on Soi Bua Khao in between Club Blue and Sawasdee Hotel but on the opposite side. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is delicious.. 120-130 baht per curry, 40 baht for yellow rice (approx). They also deliver.

I have been in there. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is brilliant.

Thorntons are now on sale in a lot of Supermarkets in the UK. I would not be surprised if Tesco take them soon. Then how long would it take for Tesco Lotus to get them in stock?

There are many bars/guest houses around the Soi Lankee area. Some as little as 400/500/600 baht a night, including, safe, hot shower, Air Con, TV, DVD Player. etc. Some even include a free western breakfast.

Whenever I visited Chonburi office, I went with the head of the school programme. He did all the work and we, (my colleagues) just sat there like stuffed dummies.

If there were flowers at the side of the road, near the spot, then obviously something must have occured.

I'll go and sell them, for you. ROFL

Look head on at the Friendship Supermarket on 3rd Road, and to the left of the car park there is a business card shop. I paid 250 baht for 100 cards, although not laminated. I did not require mine laminated. They do all kinds of cards, and they print Menus for cafes' etc

Sorry, I meant to say the Friendship Supermarket is located on SOUTH Road, not 3rd Road.

I always use Key on Soi LK Metro, I find them just fine. It includeds ice cold water and a meal in the Casino, although I never bother with the Casino, it is just the food I have. The food is ok.

My condolences also

Not sure about those countries but I can tell you about Malaysia.

I lived and worked there for 8 years, awesome place to make money especially if you are professional in your field. Their infrastructure is 20 years ahead of Thailand, people are friendly but not so courtious in metropolitan area, especialy ethnic Chinese.

Anyway, they have so called "silver hair" program for people who wish to retire there. You are entitled to own the land and house, unless it is in area allocated to Bumiputera. These are native sons and daughters - in this case Malay Muslims in peninsula and Kadazan/Dusun Christians on Borneo. You may import 1 car tax free or buy it in certain duty free areas such as Langkawi and Labuan islands. Langkawi is not very far from Phuket itself, totaly duty free - from cigarettes, alcohol beverages and food to vehicles, construction material etc...(wish Thais were smart and made Phuket duty free zone). Just about 90% of hotels on the island are 5 star luxury resorts, world class yacht marina, top class international airport, frequent ferry rides to Kedah and Penang. There are regular annual events such as LIMA - international aircraft show, bicycle race "Tour de Langkawi" and many many others....Security is top notch, crime is unheard of. Most of Malaysian government cabinet members own homes there, former PM Mahathir and his ex finance minister Daim Zainuddin own about half of the island. If you want peace and quite, fishing, yachting etc...Langkawi is the place. I took my parents there for holiday and they loved it. However, night life is almost non-existant but then again that is what certain generations prefer anyway.

On other hand, Labuan is more of industrial duty free zone. Offshore banking and companies and oil/gas explorations. They do have some fancy hotels though, Brunei is just stone throw away. Everything is cheap, few nice beaches but nothing spectacular.

The reason I choose Phuket was my age at the time, only 35 and have no regrets. But if you are over 50, long time happily married and looking for peace of mind in security of YOUR OWN HOME without fears of loosing it to some government regulations, Langkawi is the obvious choice.

A very informative post, thank you. I am impressed with the Islands now

The Pattaya Mail has scored a 'hole in one'?

Most 7/11s' carry in stock a bar of dark (plain) chocolate. Simply named '56% Cocoa'. The best should be at least 60%

How about a "Cheap Charlie" forum ?.....posters can try and out do each other on how little money they spend and brag to the world about it

Now, that sounds a reallly good idea. Or how about a Sin Sod Forum?

There is a full stop there. A big yellow one .

.....and for the non lovers of football, can we have an 'anti-football' forum.

You could always use a picture of a great big dog, showing it's teeth!

The City of Surat Thani , may be worth staying a night at.

Good luck and I hope you get a speedy response.

A phone number would help.

I too, am deeply sorry.

Yep, no more BP for me either. I'll read it, if there's a free copy hanging around somewhere, but I certainly wont be buying it anymore. Much better news sources online.

I will agree with you. The BP started going downhill, about 1 year ago. I too, will read a free copy, if ever I feel like reading it.

I'll meet you in Tesco. What a brilliant idea!

Tesco .....

Find me in the Animal Planet channel

Where? Never heard of it. I have heard of Pet World

errr.... animal planet channel ... on ubc!

errr.......... still never heard of it. Maybe due to the fact I do not have a TV. I still prefer Tesco Starbucks to meet up.

since when there's Starbucks in Tesco?

only KFC, MK, Mister Donuts and something c-r-a-p i have seen in there

monks' shopping place huh

Depends which Tesco you go too. Is it Black Canyon Coffee Shop? I know that Tesco in the UK have now started leasing space to Starbucks Coffee Shops into their stores. My nearest Tesco in the UK now has a Starbucks.

May I interrupt ?

Talking abt Starbucks, im sooo drooling ...why on earth is NON Starbucks here in Holland ?

I heard they gonna run the first Starbucks in A'Dam only in the TomTom company....
