Try and be nice, what if it was you?

Leave a kind note on her desk, saying a few people have mentioned it and you want to avoid any embarrassment.

Speak to the school, ask them to find a new agency, if they decline, then most likely they are in cahoots with the agency!

Sorry to disagree, many countries such as the USA, UK, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA and many others applied strict rules, in that if you have had a custodial sentence or even been found guilty or criminial or civil offence at any time in your life, then you must report it when applying for a visa, (you sign also to that effect).

Simple really! It does not automatically preclude you getting a visa, unless of course you have already not disclosed the prior problem in your life.

I think the Teflon bit is over rated. It becomes brittle after a while. I've noticed bits of Teflon Crap in my eggs. Hard to swallow that.

Never ever had a problem with Teflon pans, they on average last 2-3 years and I am okay with that...mind you I don't buy the cheap crappy ones either...as they say "You get what you pay for!"

...how long has this been dragging on....

Not as long as all the problems that Pattaya has and ignores!

Utter garbage!

Thousand of web sites you can book with and compare prices etc.

Talk about making mountain out of a molehill, you better not cross over the road in Thailand unless the lights are on red! Panic!

Samsung S6 can be cleaned in the washing machine every week, it looks good!

It's never worked though?

Ha Ha! Plus clean beaches, no traffic, no late night noise, no mosques as well I guess!

I guess you mean Pattaya!

Not in Thailand.

It is the rainy season and KC is pretty much the wettest place in Thailand. I've been to KC twice in august. Never again.

Koh Larn is totally over run with tourists now. Water Quality is getting bad. Been reportted on many news sites lately.

Better off by going to Hua Hin or Bang Saray (if you like quiet) or most likely better off waiting until say December, but even then KC will still be most likely wet!

Hi can anyone advise where I can purchase some powdered pectin? (Pattaya area)

Thanks

Make life easy:

Go to any large store and buy a garden water pump for use in a water ornament, attach some tubing and plug it in!

That simple !!

The worst time for motorcycles on foot paths in Sukhumvit is in the evening. I've been run into twice riders weaving between pedestrians , it's annoying.

What happened to the police busting these riders, didn't last long..

I partly agree with you, but what about the pedestrians who walk along the road and see a moped in his way and then ignore him! Just as bad!

Sounds like an extortionate amount to me.. last (private) hospital visit I had was under 300 for a 15 min consultation with a specialist, an xray, analysis of it, and a medical report.

But I think "redmann" was taken advaantage of, being charged a consultation just for results, I personally have not had that before and might have queried or argued that cost.

Whilst there are many problems etc with Thai hospitals though, I think its normally the overpricing of meds etc that are the issue, rather than the Doctors consultation charge.

Better luck next time!

Generally the problem is poorly laid tiles in the 1st place, ie onto earth covered with gravel, regardless I never see anyone use grout sealer AFTER the grout has been applied! You can buy this at Homepro, Homemart.

Then no problems!

Lloyds Bank have my Thai address and automatically send to me to Thailand, my new credit and debit cards, also every month my statements to Thailand...same as other bank accounts that I have.

I've never had any problems.

lloyds will not send cards outside of uk there ok with abroad address but that's about as far as service goes

also if your pin needs renewing they send a pin with a 14 day expiry and the letter typically takes up to 3 weeks standard post i asked for expedited post their reply no can do system computerized

Deport them to China, a cruel but fair punishment!

I bought some in Friendship supermarket last week, 200+ baht, quite good. The only place I ever see it.

Its not at Tesco or Big C or Makro.

So age 66, limited income, nil pension and now you are thinking about the future?

What happens if you pass away?

Back to the village, your child will be treated as a low class mixed blood by virtually everyone, surely you don't want that.

Rethink what you want and why?

(I really sometimes wonder!)

Can anyone suggest where I can buy large amounts of sultanas ie 5kg in Pattaya area?

Thanks

You have no chance. I had same issue two montha ago. But you are in luck! E BAY have sellers at low price!

Just a suggestion - Maybe take a look in some golf shops for proper waterproof and windproof suits that don't make you sweat too much.

Also fishing tackle shops, I have an excellent top and trousers, 360 baht From Bang Saray shop,

Thailand confirms first MERS case: Health ministry

BANGKOK:-- (Reuters) - Thailand confirmed its first case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) on Thursday, becoming the fourth Asian country to register the deadly virus this year.

Public Health Minister Rajata Rajatanavin told a news conference that a 75-year-old businessman from Oman had tested positive for MERS.

"From two lab tests we can confirm that the MERS virus was found," Rajata said, adding the man had travelled to Bangkok for medical treatment for a heart condition.

"The first day he came he was checked for the virus. The patient ... contracted the MERS virus."

The health minister said 59 others were being monitored for the virus, including three of the man's relatives who travelled with him to Bangkok.

MERS is caused by a coronavirus from the same family as the one that triggered China's deadly 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

I feel this could bad news here, Thailand will just deny any spread.

Oh no!! You got a virus!!! Start taking this that and everything!

Seriously you dont need anything, just keep eating lightly and some fluids, a little rest and you will back to normal!

Or you can start taking: Low Dose Naltrexone, kefir every day, B vitamins for sore muscles, Zinc supplement, vitamin C and a host of other maybe cures! Ha Ha!

Last week I got a resident certificate on a 30 day "Visa" on arrival from Jomtien / Pattaya Immigration, I then renewed my Thai bike licence and bought a new bike no problems!

To the best of my knowledge and experience you can renew your licence on any visa (certainly in Chiang Mai anyway).

The problem you may have will likely be with proof of address, if you do not have a yellow book then the most usual proof of address is a paper from immigration or a letter from your embassy/consulate. Clearly the paper from immigration is not going to happen if you are on a Tourist visa, but I'd check and see of you can get a letter from consulate, as a British citizen that's always been an option for me.
