No....only baht buses running along sukhumvit!  Best to get a taxi, only 700 bht..PT TAXIS

Big C & Tesco sell inner tubes etc or several bicycle shops also along Pattaya Klng.

Professional shop half way down Theprasit Road.

Standard practice for years!

Never ever seen it congested, (a maximum of 8 flights departing a day?)

I use Air Asia a lot unfortunately (last time last week) and unless you have check in baggage, then 1 hour before take off is plenty...If you have check in then maybe 15 minutes extra time. Get boarding pass online though!

The last time I tried to do it online it didn't work.

But then I am in Pattaya,

Still not sure it works here.

Works everytime, as long as you use internet explorer.

The trick is to scroll down the middle text first and tick accept conditions, THEN tick bottom of page info on outside of page.

theres art st next to mikes, if you stroll down there you might find someone whos style you like

Easily the best place to go, with a large choice of artists / painters.

OK, thanks. Is it on the Beach Road or the Second Road side of Mike's?

The soi,/ lane runs all he way down the side of Mikes shopping mall between beach road and 2nd road.

Take note... it is a narrow siding, rather than a Soi.

I wish you the best and hope you have a great weekend, just stating what everyone knows...travel etc on Thai holidays and extended weekends is always a problem.

Le Paillote guest house is a nice lower price if you want to stay near Ban Phe ferry.

Good luck.

By the time you have finished mucking around getting a moped taxi etc to a mini bus you could have got a taxi for 700 Baht!

Terrible timing...Thai long weekend...everything packed...no discounts...extra price for foreigners...roads packed everywhere..many bars etc closed.

Good luck!

Definitely asking for trouble in my opinion. Personally I would report you if I found out you had ever recorded a conversation without my permission, especially if you were going to pass this information to a 3rd party.

Your risk!

This just encourages "graft"!

Good luck to them, you only have to smile!

The UK form is an annual event and almost anyone with a stamp can sign as witness. Last year, my mooban site office estate manager signed and stamped it. This year a local pharmacist neighbour has signed it. I have 4 dogs and their vet can also sign. It seems that anyone with an official business address and stamp can sign, no need for expensive lawyers.

I was told that retired 'professionals' can also countersign that firm so fellow expats could possibly help?

Problem is....they will send the form back to you if no company / formal stamp.

The LIFE DECLARATION form that you are talking about is sent on a random basis to all persons in receipt of a UK state pension, including people still residing in the UK.

It needs to be co-signed by a person of authority as explained on the form, in particular importance for them is the authorising stamp.

Failure to complete means pension is withheld until they receive the completed form and then the pension is backdated.

Simple!!

Chinese investment = no more tourists, except Chinese!

Still at least they are big spenders. yes?

Don't forget, if they take you to court then it is very likely that they will be awarded legal costs against you as well.

Best to resurvey and if required move the wall. (Checking legality of maximum height)

At the end off the day does it matter? I can insure it so does it really make any difference if i leave it in his name?

No to both.

And don't forget all the back tax!!

Plus residence certificate from immigration to sell!

Okay, if these charges were not expicit at outset, then just request a formal complaint and eventually as goodwill they will give that money back to you.

The issue in general is that many UK and other overseas banks use an intermediary for the transfer and thats usually at a cost passed onto you.

I know you can get the money back, I have done so many times with HSBC and also Lloyds bank international.

Have a Thai call Cityhall 1317 and explain. They usually follow up within days with such requests. Good luck. MS>

Take a picture of issue, then go yourself with a print out etc, to 3rd floor City hall. go into main office, (1st desk on left) look lost and they will help you. They are very good there, I go with cable issues, drainage, rubbish etc..good service.

How do you just cancel the residency? What country works like this?

all European countries i know.

Wrong!

In general you should not need fans running all the time, if so then maybe wrong fitted (type) head gasket.

Have your coolant hoses collapsed internally, are they high grade type?

Are you running wirh plain water or recommended coolant, this can be important.

Many high performance cars actually have a 2nd radiator, worth considering?

Air Asia online check in works fine.

You can walk straight through at the airport, you can just hand in any checked baggage and thats it!

If you check in at the airport you will have to pay for this extra service and also wait to be checked in etc.

Soi Post office, internet shop 5 doors down from beach End, very reliable.
