  1. No need to look there now.
  2. Are these people only holding buckets of cash? With a bank account in the country they are working in it would be a rather trivial transaction.
  3. How about the elephant sanctuary or whatever it was, back in business?
  4. There is, it's even in this thread. Seems to show absolutely nothing.
  5. My recommendation would be to apply for the non-O in the UK before you come back. It's an e-visa, minimal documents, and can be obtained in a matter of a few days. Saves a trip to immigration and also avoids silly questions about onward tickets at check in.
  6. Ben Ransom, according to a newspaper.
  7. A passport is all the ID you need, and you can top up online, at 7-11, at ATM's or through the phone app. You only need to work out what you want the SIM for, i.e., phone calls or data (or both) and buy an appropriate package, if you buy from the airport vendors there is some chance they may be able to sort you out with a reasonable package, buying in 7-11 you won't get that assistance.
  8. I use Traveloka to check flight prices. They are an Indonesian based operation. I have completed bookings on their site a few times but most often use them to check pricing only and then book with the airline directly. Normally the airline price is within +/-5% of the Traveloka price.
  9. If they can get rid of your dirty oil then go for it, age is irrelevant.
  10. Best and easiest = taxi. Cheapest = free shuttle.
  11. Wouldn't the wife have to go along to get that also?
  12. I have changed bank account addresses without anything other than a hand written note, they don't seem really interested, and never send any mail anyway. And your driving licence will get updated when you renew it. So I would not bother with anything until/if needed.
  13. Not only Pattaya, it's a DLT requirement; https://www.dlt.go.th/en/two-year-license
  14. At least the photo was actually related to the story for a change, and what a fun party that looked. There are some on fayboo so it must be real.
  15. No they didn't. Some banks take t days, mine doesn't. Try reading.
  16. Grow up? He has, and earned the right to do exactly what he wants. If he is actually a tourist the chances are he's already back in blighty now being miserable again for another year or so.
  17. That's where I stay and it is really nice. Close to the park for a wander and the nightmarket too. And a great Izakaya resto/bar immediately opposite.
  18. It's the place I intend to go and live when I'm finished with Bangkok. The area has all the things you want, perhaps excluding mountains, and the city itself is easily livable. With the airport and also easy access to Pakse a bonus. Last time was there hired a taxi for the day and did a loop including Pha Taem National Park (excellent) and Sam Phan Bok (Three thousand holes - no, not like Soi 6!) and several nice temples. Good roads, not busy.
  19. Don't book a holiday for next summer.
  20. And that was a visa they transferred, not an extension of stay?
  21. What difference does it make if you are in a condo or a house? Put it in a bottle and put that in the non-recyclable general waste.
