Anyone changed up any new £5 notes recently? I had £500 in new £5 last October and I couldn't find a bank in the Issan area to change them. Do they accept them now? Thanks in advance.

To further clarify, day 1 or the 30 would be the 25th.

This would be day 1, and if they stamp the 24th, I will be a 1 day overstay criminal ! 

Thanks for the reply, and yes you are correct it's a visa exemption, not a visa.

Will my visa start on the time I arrive at immigration? I will be arriving at 23.40pm on the 24th March, I will obviously be arriving at immigration after midnight so that will be the 25th, so will it start on the 25th or when the plane touched down?

Going to buy a new car next year to get my daughter to a half decent school.Torn between the Mitsubishi Mirage and Toyota Yaris.  Wondered if anyone owns these cars and can give me any advice on reliability etc. Seems like you get loads more spec on the Mitsubushi. Thanks for any replies.

If you want to relax go to Koh Chang, just got back after 1 week stay. Only 5 hours from Bangkok. 

Why would you have 5 large rocks in your bag? Unless he was a geologist,I think he died before entering the water.

Thanks for all your replies.

Does anyone know what the monthly payments would be on a new Yaris and how much deposit I would have to pay down? Thanks in advance.

I leave at 9.30pm so that's good, thanks for your help.

So with my flights i arrive on the 6th of April and leave on the 5th of May that will be 30 days?

Sounds like an easy question but a friend got fined for 1 day overstay even though it was only a 30 stay stay, seems like when you enter Thailand they count that as 1 day already, is this the case, or did they get it wrong?

How can you steal 50,000 baht from an ATM,I thought they only gave you 15,000 baht for 1 day?

If convicted,will he get the death penalty?

I am going to teach my daughter to swim as soon as possible she is almost 4 now. Is there any good public swimming pools in the Ubon area? Thanks for a any replies.

Thinking about taking my DAB radio to Thailand, will I be wasting my time? I live in the issan region, thanks for any replies

Leaving the hotel with a bag? What's so suspicious about that?

They where staying at the Sofia Garden resort,Klong Prao Beach, I was there last week.

Who took the photo?

Flew with them last October, Gatwick to Bangkok. I live 30 mins from Gatwick, and Heathrow is 90 mins, away so that was a no brainer. I paid £332 for the flight, that was £150 cheaper than the next cheapest. The plane left on time, no entertainment, so bring your own, I took my tablet with movies on. I did notice the seats are smaller than the average seat, I am not a fat bastard so it wasn't a problem for me, no free food, I knew about this so i brought my own. Beer can be bought but pricey..I think about 4 euros for a small can. Kiev is a modern airport,with some duty free shops, waited 2 hours and boarded the next flight.

The seats where still small, but ok for me, the staff where friendly, and dished out free juice and water for the duration of the flight. One big screen entertainment with crap movies, so I highly recommend you bring a tablet or laptop. My personal experience was an ok one, but the £150 cheaper was a big pull for me.If you fly Emirates or Etihad Airlines all the time you will be disappointed, they started at £500 from Gatwick last October. Saving £150 was the done deal for me as it paid for my hotel stay in Koh Chang. So to sum it all up, cheap, slightly smaller seats, no free food or alcohol,can be purchased with euros or dollars, no entertainment first flight, second flight yes...if these things are very important to you book elsewhere! I have booked them again for my flight in 3 weeks time £348 return,

Just got back from Koh Chang myself. If you are arriving after a long flight to get to Koh Chang is going to be a tall order as it can take up to 7 hours and the boats stop running at 7pm. I would get a bus from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya (ask the airport information for where to go) around 120 baht, get a cheap hotel for the night and while you are there go to any travel agent and arrange a minibus to the island,around 500-600 baht, most drop off at the ferry and you have to arrange a taxi(Pick up truck with bench seats)on the island to take you to the hotel, about 50 baht, these only leave when full so await of up to 45 mins can happen.I think thats the best way to go.Lovely island Koh Chang my favourite in Thailand.Good luck!

Hi Everyone,

I am staying in Koh Chang for 5 days in October. On the 22nd of October I am flying to Ubon Ratchathani at 4pm from Don Mueang, is there a minibus or bus service on the island which picks you up at your resort and takes you to the ferry and then transports you to Bangkok by 2.30pm? Thanks in advance.
