  1. The purpose of reviews is to enable potential new clients to assess if a hotel is a dump or not, sending a private complaint whilst acceptable, helps no one and unfortunately the hotel often ignore a private complaint.
  2. Knowing how Thailand can be bullies etc, they should have published as "Anonymous"
  3. Unfortunately with Bars etc, shutting again....next will be travel restrictions etc!
  4. So was about to book my flight, then Thailand restarted quarantine and now bars closed again! When will they learn, get vaccinated with a decent type ie, not rubbish Chinese water and let Covid run its life out!
  5. Possibly badly maintained vehicle, speed, intoxicated, road conditions etc, maybe just bad luck. Everyday the same. RIP Very sad!
  6. They are cancelling because of 7 day+ quarantine costs, preflight testing costs, post-flight testing costs, 7-day testing costs, return flight testing costs and all the extra costs and time involved! Omicron has little to do with cancellations!
  7. Quite the opposite, many banks would like to know when you are abroad and where to prevent online fraud etc, it does not stop you using your card abroad, just they are aware of this fact, alternatively you can set your Bank account to send a message to approve / confirm transactions before completion.
  8. You need to contact Nat West, asking them to place a note on your file allowing overseas usage, then make a complaint explaining how you were out of pocket etc, due to failure of card approval etc, ask for £100+
  9. In the UK for the Pfizer 3rd shot it is 6 months, (or it was up to last month). They do not at all advocate mixing type of vaccines. I hope you are successful.
  10. Having worked in this area, I can tell you that it is up to HMRC when they tell you that you no longer need to effect an annual assessment. Could be after 1 year or longer. It comes down to your employment status, property, pension and income within the UK and income etc derived abroad, once they believe you are truthful they can state no further assessments are required subject to changes etc. There is no hard and fast rule, but what I can tell you is that there are substantial fines etc for just not completing assessments that come back to bite you if you return to the UK or start a pension up. Why not try and be honest?
  11. If you want great "chips" then you need great potatoes and type, sadly no much choice in Thailand. However, it is also about what you fry them in....oil...never. The best way to fry chips is with lard or fat.....I find a great way is to render down some pork belly fat strips (easily done in a microwave) and use this fat for frying. In fact, you will be surprised how much better tasting everything is frying with pork fat! Give it a try!
  12. Okay, I've read the comments etc. I had the same issue with Lloyds Bank International, I contacted them stating I don't accept the new deal and this was not what I signed up for originally. I explained my position that I did not want to make a formal complaint etc and they backtracked stating I can stay on the original account contract, ie no monthly charges etc. Give it a try.
  13. Your advice is absolutely correct, I have also found in Thailand that the resulting diagnosis is often flawed, in fact, I was diagnosed twice with Cancer in Thailand (Prostrate and Liver) and when I went back to the UK they showed me the scans and blood tests....all negative. So important to have a skilled Consultant without your VISA in mind, sorry, but that's what I thought.
  14. If within Thailand, use the bus service for deliveries. For overseas ask for "ship" price if not in a hurry.
  15. Chinese sellers have a bulk postage price, regardless of size and weight, as you within 40-80 BAHT. I've tried, it's only for items sent from China by sellers.
  16. Thai post is the cheapest and in my opinion the best with no hassle. The registered post is great value also.
  17. Sorry, but I think you are being very naieve? Committing everyone to the cost of this....what if one person in your group has covid at time of flight, maybe you will be all refused boarding, maybe all quarantined at Bangkok. A new highly contagious strain was announced today from the African Countries with flights entry etc being effected! What if that spreads to other countries? It is far too early to be organising such a trip, but as they say "Up to you"
  18. If Win 7, then your device drivers are very outdated and I expect you have little RAM. Ideally you need 8 mb of RAM and latest drivers to handle download speed etc plus an up to date operating system ie Windows 10 /11. Really time for a new laptop?
  19. Must be the "Thai" Astrazeneca....not a symptom in the Rest of the World? https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/side-effects-of-the-astrazeneca-vaccine/103646/ But I wish the best!
  20. Loose / burnt connections on either side of meter! This is often the cause.
