Does anyone know where the vests or singlets that have a label/patch on the back that says Buddy or Bunny on or sometimes something else come from?

See lots of Thai men wearing them around.

Thanks.

Thanks, think I will leave it for now. When is v. 5 coming out?

I saw an advert in a Thai TV channel in Thai that appeared to state that the Iphone 4S had 50% off with True.

Is this True and is it 50% off the price of the phone or the monthly charge?

Anyone heard of this deal?

Thanks.

I'm after a phone I can use to go online with. I can't afford an iPhone so am looker for something a lot cheaper, what are my options?

3G would be nice I guess but might push the price up too much so perhaps just wifi is best?

Is a Blackberry practical for surfing the web/gmail etc? I see the cheapest Curve is about 6000 baht. Any good?

Thanks.

The only thing that might be cheaper in Thailand are Levi's jeans which seem to pretty cheap in the Levi's stores compared to back in the UK.

But apart from that you will spend less and get better quality back in the UK for sure.

One of my colleagues studied at Language Express near Chit Lom and he said you can take all the 4 (4 x 1 hour) classes in one go or spread them over the week, going when you want which is good if your schedule changes from week to week.

I'd quite like to sign up for a service that will allow me to watch TV from around the world (mainly the UK and the US and sport from wherever).

Can anyone recommend a service that I can sign up for, preferably delivered over the internet.

Thanks.

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive (i.e. cheap) website that will deliver flowers (roses preferably) in Bangkok?

I've done a google search but the ones I've found are charging from 9000 baht for a bunch which is a bit much considering you can get them for about 200 baht down at the flower market.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I want to call the Uk from my Thai landline.

Are there any Thai based services/companies I can use to get a cheaper rate?

I'd rather not have to sign up and would prefer to pay by the minute.

Thanks.

Thanks Mario.

I don't mind doing the 90 day registration its just that I will be leaving Thailand (and returning) at least 4 times in the next 12 months and having a multiple seems to make this easier to do.

What age do you need to be to get regular testosterone shots from a doctor / medical professional?

Does anyone know of anywhere in Bangkok that will do a body fat level reading/measurement?

I don't need it done with scales but with calipres of something more accurate if possible.

I'm trying to lose fat and then once the fat is off add some muscle but I'd like to keep track of my body fat levels to make sure I'm not putting on fat again once my weight starts going up.

Also, does anyone know where they measure or calculate at what heart rate your body best burns fat at? This would be good to know I think so that cardio can be done at the most effective rate.

Thanks.

Thanks. Here is the info for Oriental.

Anyone seen any hotels deals for the week or two weeks after Christmas?

Prices from 2000 baht a night would be good.

Preferably near a beach but any deals would be good!

Thanks.

Any recommendations for Christmas dinner in Bangkok?

Any of the hotels doing anything?

Kid friendly would be a bonus.

Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a young child (i.e. quite noisy) friendly restaurant in Bangkok that is doing a Christmas dinner?

Or for future reference a restaurant in general that doesn't mind young kinds or even has a play area for them?

Thanks.

I've just seen advertised that a Non Immigrant Visa B can be acquired for s UK national in Thailand via Hull.

Is this possible? How does it work if you remain in Thailand while they do it?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

Often I will be sitting on the sofa in just my shorts and be hot while my mrs will be fully clothed and freezing as the air con is on full blast.

People have told me I give off a lot of heat so I think I might have a high temperature.

I will test it with a thermometer.

I've been trying to loose weight and have lost about 8 kg in the past six months but am not fat.

Is it a sign of a fast metabolism? Do different foods make you hot? I know spicy foods do while you are eating them but is there anything else?

I get hot really easily. Even when the air con is on other people in the room will be cold and I will be hot.

When doing exercise I get really hot and feel quite ill.

Is there anyway to reduce my body temperature?

Acupuncture?

Thanks.

I don't think I've ever entered Thailand with an onward ticked booked in all my 2+ years of being here.

Have flown in from London, HK, Sing, Aus, Bali, KL, Cambo, Vietnam...

Is this a new requirement?

Just doing a visa run via air with a one day turnaround and after being quizzed by the guy at the airport (non-Thailand) what I was doing it did give me a feeling of trying to gatecrash a party I wasn't invited to and am not welcome at.

Do the visa rules ever get you down?

I know I could like it or lump it but it all seems so random and unnecessary.

Whinge over.

I thought you could get Pizza Company and McDonalds delivered?

Can anyone recommend one in Bangkok?

If anyone is looking for Epsom Salt in Bangkok there is a pharmacy on Ekamai near the entrance to soi 26 which has it.

It is about 150 baht for a box of 450 g of magnesium sulphate.

How about if someone fathers a child with a farang who is here on a Work Permit. If you were listed on the Thai and British birth certificates but not married could you get a good visa i.e. non-immigration type O multi entry?
