Does anybody know when/ if the NGV version of the HONDA CIVIC will be avialable in Thailand?

Try again!

Have contacted Nok Air re flight to Krabi from DM in July.

You can have your money back or a transfer to an Air Asia flight from Swampy rather than DM.

If you don't contact them "maybe" they will contact you, do you think ??

I have a booking to Krabi with Nok Air on July 17 but understand that this service has been suspended and flights are to be provided by Air Asia/ Thai Air instead.

Nok Air website shows no flights scheduled to Krabi for July onwards but I have been unable to contact them to establish just what thier plans are (thats assuming that they have a plan!!).

Has anyone any "real" info on what will happen as regards flights already booked?

I am looking for consumption figures for the new ALTIS 1.8G and CIVIC 2.0 EL AT.

Manufacturers literature does not provide consumption details, any ideas as where I could find this sort of info, also service costs would be useful.

Thanks

Given the Thai's love of keeping junk around the house and garden the g/f and I have deceided to have a good tidy up. However there does not seem to be any communial tip facility (other than the side of the road) and I have not seen any rubbish skip lorries, probaby because there is no demand.

Does anyone know of a skip hire facility around Lopburi/ Singburi, or is this a farang business oppurtunity in the waiting?

Hi,

I understand that Immigration had stopped issuing COR's but have now started again?

Has anybody managed to get one from Autthaya, when my gf phoned them they said "we are a mobile office , get one from the Police Station ".

So what's a "mobile office" with a landline number when it's out?

Dave

Hi all,

Thanks

Does anyone have experience of making claims/ dealing with LMG?

Thanks

Well thanks to you all for the information, I THINK I UNDERSTAND NOW!!

Following posts here about airlines refusing to carry passengers with a proper Visa but without an onward flight from Thailand I contacted Thai Airways who replied as below, flight is from London UK to Bangkok.

Hi, I have purchased a one way ticket to Bangkok with Thai and have since read about the possibility of not being allowed to travel without an onward ticket. As I have a Thai Non-Immigrant "O" Visa wilI I be allowed to travel without having an onward ticket? Many thanks David howden

Eyebee,

If the "O-A" visa is only issued outside Thailand why would I need to get a financial statement from the UK Embassy in Bangkok as at 2.4 of the Hull blurb?

Many thanks for the clarification, probably best to just go with the flow rather than trying to understand it all beforehand.

I have a Non Immigrant "O" Visa with multiple entry granted by Hull UK. When I convert this to an "O-A" retirement Visa (by production of Police Report, Financial statment etc. to Thai Immigration in CM or BKK) does the effective expiry date remain as per the original "O" or does it run for 12 months from the point of conversion?

Thanks

Dave
