As ever the figures are a myth, I flew last week with Emirates, the flight was code-sharing with Thai and another.

Guess what....the rear half of the seating was closed off, ie no passengers.

Overpriced flights and they are unable to fill them,  so the Airlines share a flight, suggesting they are busy.

They should get real and start some competitive prices, they forget life etc is harder for all nowadays.

Hi

Just realised my 30 day visa exempt is one day short leaving Thailand.

Will I be asked to pay at Suvarbhumi?

Thanks

That is a big plus. Your payment does not go directly to the seller. It goes to AliPay, I believe in Singapore, and they hold on to it until all is clear.

Try getting the money back! No chance or fat chance!

The issue is mostly the carrier...If it's Fed Express or UPS then forget it, it will not through Customs.  If it's Ali Express post or Thai Mail delivery I have always found it fine.

Wash the table or buy a new one? 

Having lived/worked overseas for many years, when friends say they would like to come out, I suggest the following:  Airport Taxi Contact numbers, a selection of Hotel prices, suggest the need for travel Insurance and why, state how much money to bring and double it, explain tactfully you are on a tight budget with no money to lenda nd finally which bars are best and sights to see.

It might help to explain manners in Thailand as well.

5000+ posts and he is asking stupid questions!

Troll!

Thailand has has little or no respect for refugees or tourists. Now or ever in the past.

If you have a large bank account you are begrudgingly allowed to visit

End of!

Get a Bolt and also give the Taxi driver the hotel phone number.

Investors take the gamble, some lose out...????

No envy at all....when I invest, I check out the performance and failures of the business and look at investment managers' history and reputation

As for his lifestyle... it's great...and paid for by his investors!   (OPM)

Okay, I will admit I don't trust Richard Branson.

He has had more than a few companies declare Bankruptcy and in general, the only losers are the investors who are in general wiped out.

Meantime, Mr. Branson is in his balloon on his way to his private holiday Island to count his $$$!

In the UK, any emergency illness would be immediately seen and treated.

As to costs, it depends on whether you state you have returned permanently to live in the UK, then no cost. 

Or as a UK visitor, potentially pay as you go!

And who would ever consider going to that badly run Immigration at Jomtien for an extension!

Not a chance!

I know many have bad health issues such as yours, but quite often it is just a short-term inflammation.

Consider one or two weeks of taking 50mg daily of Diclofenac Sodium, (or 25mg twice daily)  it is a Non Steroid Anti Inflammatory drug.   A few weeks of this can often settle everything down to normal....Up to you.

Good luck.

It's shameful really on Thailand....why can't they show some respect to the elderly and change to "Over 75 years of age, Visa renewal ....no charge!"

I guess no natural land, just concrete etc.

No Trees, plants, nothing!

But go just 5-10Kms out of town and there you have plenty of insect life etc.

All entitled to at least 600 euros compensation

Hardly, its not an EU based flight?

Sadly wrong, there is no facility or benefit available on death to his Thai family.   (Bereavement support is only potentially available for UK residents / family)

The only possible money might be a private pension, if available.

Is that these bikes with the very big wheels and wide tyres?

No, they have usually road going dtylecmountwin bike tyres, a sort of common hybrid.

If you want to torture yourself, try one of those bikes with monster tyres, hard work and horrible.

I'm sure some though may disagree,

I can honestly remember over at least 10 year this same problem. .

In the past they blocked up where it was coming until it forced its way through, then aboutv 5 years ago they bulldozed sand over this area, trying to hide it and that it would magically not reappear.

Unfortunately,  this is Thailand, and they not a clue how to effect long term repairs on anything!

Really was just looking for places to eat etc at a reasonable price, rather than Hotel style prices, anyone please?

Hi, UK friends arriving next week, staying at View Talay 7.

Any recommendations for English breakfast, evening meals, etc at a fair price?  (They are not loaded)

Thanks

Hi there

Coming over at Xmas after 30 months away, just want to get everything straight with a little help, please.

Baht bus standard prices, ie from View Talay 7 to Pattaya, and around town, I assume 10 baht?

Beach chair prices in Pattaya and Jomtien, both styles?

Anything changed I should be aware of that's changed, ie Cops, etc?

Thanks, and have a great day!
