Dark is B56 in 7/11's around Pattaya at 6.5% beats the now 5.8% Chang for a punch

As an added bonus it tastes really good.

I gladly will pay extra taxes vat and whatever for a good beer. Let the decent beers roll in.

Some good news for a change.

The happy, cheerful and extremely helpful immigration staff are there at 5.15 am for the first flight of the day to issue re entry permits you must have a boarding pass as the facility is airside after security. If you want miserable unhelpful staff try flying into Coolangata international air port in Australia The arrivals area is really third world.

The temple next to the old Chedi hotel at the river cruse jetty, has a monk who speaks very good English.

whats really needed is a long term ext of stay,something like 5years elevate a lot of proplems for a few years anyway,should be the goal of all involved with immigration,or the ear of,and to pacify the people in charge may be one year reporting.

This a fantastic idea and should be pushed forward.In the interim we need good system for the elderly and infirm, perhaps we should appeal to immigration authorities to uphold the Thai way of respect for the older generation.

If English is not their language more the reason to attract volunteers of the right calibre's and skills.

ps a bit of insurance policy for me as i might need it in another 10 years or so!!!

Whilst CM Eexpats and Lanna care do an excellent job in helping people through their difficulties in dealing with immigration perhaps there is some merit in developing a system where a some sort of befriending scheme is developed.

Each volunteer is put in touch with an elderly person to go with them and either hold a place in the line, or accompany them through the whole process. Or even better visa agents could do a reduced price for the over 70's or infirm.

Dare I say each volunteer is vetted by immigration authorities to avoid any unscrupulous people getting involved.

In the Uk I was a trained caseworker for a veterans charity , so I know that setting up such a scheme is fraught with great difficulties.

Best wishes to all Frank.

Or do an online reservation for them.

But now Nancy says most don't speak English......always an obstacle.

Do you have some sort of design in mind, they can be very simple, and easy to make.

I used to have the same problem with my rotax engine on my ultralight if they stand for a while a fungus formed and would damage the carb bowls. A tip i used was to drain the cab bowls completely. the other solution would be to use a fuel with no ethanol in it I believe it can still be had.

There are a number of articles written on the subject. good luck with your quest.

Been trying to get oz dollars major banks only hold min amounts had to visit 3 banks to get 1000 oz dollars so it would seem banks get rid of foreign bank notes asap.

Great exhibition well done CMPG. Do go and visit you will be impressed.

There is a need for a site that can combine the best of all the other sites offering the same service ,not everyone subscribes to Facebook or other focus groups.

Good luck with your endeavour

Try the orange mac cafe they have them in sometimes.

A great place to shop attentive staff , good quality stock and queries easily sorted. Look out for english speaking staff in customer services they all wear Union Jack badges.Some good offers at the moment.Slightly more expensive than Global house but a good shopping experience.

Yes, but the dog in in the OP's question is coming in directly to Chiang Mai, so it would be helpful if someone with CM experience could help. I think there is a Dept of Agriculture office on the road out to the airport, but I'm not much help. Surely a visit to that office could help to clear up some questions.

Another issue is that the one incoming Korean Air flight arrives at close to midnight, so there's the question of what happens to the dog if there are no local inspectors available -- but I've got to believe they have agricultural inspectors meeting every incoming international flight, wouldn't they? But can they process the paperwork necessary to admit a dog at that hour?

All issues to check out in advance. The OP's friend is very lucky to have someone already in Chiang Mai to do this checking for him.

It is all very easy if you contact the people in Bangkok DLD they will give you phone numbers and email contacts for DLD in Chiang Mai for import permit .If a flight arrives after normal working hours the shipper will have to pay out of hours charges for vet etc to meet the flight ,otherwise the dog will be put in the cargo warehouse until next morning. As previously stated I shipped from the UK but arrivals here is the same.

I think it is more stressful for us humans than the dog.

Im thinking of doing the same with my two dogs from the U.K would appreciate any info sappersrest

A great source of info except except you need to get an import certificate from the DLD in Chaing Mai if CNX is the final port of call.

Good luck

My dog was a rescue dog and I told them his value was about 50 baht , they were not having any of that, so i had to pay duty on the cost of shipping.I had the import certificate sent to me in England did the process by email .

UK based airlines will not accept any animals without an import certificate from the Thai authorities not sure about USA based airlines.

The dog also must be microchipped and have an export certificate.

If I can be of further help please PM me and I will give you my phone no.

Best of luck I know how stressful it can be.

PS our dog loves it here.

We imported our dog from the UK a bit of bum information is on the dept of livestock control website,You must get an import certificate from Chiang Mai live stock control NOT THE BANGKOK OFFICE as the port of entry is Chiang Mai. Depending on the value of the dog be prepared to pay duty etc .

Probably the topic is better moved to the electrical forum for Crossys expert advice, he is the main man to ask.

The power authority will not restore power until the building is rewired and passes an inspection as they do with all new builds now. If the wiring in the building is not inspected and replaced first I would be very dubious about living there.

You could also call into your local one stop PEA shop and get them to look into it.

Good luck

Philw must be no1 contender for next years poster of the year award. keep it going.
