It is indeed closest by to Laksi train station, its all near ready above there for redline (sky)trains to start running from end of this yr. There is however no really good connection between BTS and Red, better from MRT (Bang Sue grand new central station). But for now thats not quick to wait that long. The local SRT trains are few and far between, always late, but cheap. In fact its quite close to The Gvomt centre, so lamented so many times by about any TV.

In fact it does not really matter that much and also depends on time of day and your skills in getting a taximeter on the meter, or if that even is a mystery to you, explaining where to go.

Its longer from Phahon, its even better from Ch-chak, due to roads layout at Ha Yaek Lard prao, but its a mostly quite fast ride, even more via Tollway (pay more), with also loads of buses: 29,510

From Kasert-the point is that taxi need to make a very long detour to get over the U-turn once railtracks passed, this offsetting the as such shorter ride. Its likely even better to get off the last stop before Kasert, you can then turn left into NgamWong Wan rd.

This is very helpful.

 

Thank you so much for that ????

From Asoke

What is the fastest way to go to Chulabhorn Hospital?

 

By BTS: Kasetart University and then taxi or

By MRT: Phahon Yothin and then taxi

 

Can you get onto the Donmueang high way from here?

 

Many thanks

You will either get a notification from:

 

- post office: bring the notification and your ID and pick up your parcel. The amount to be paid should be on this form.

- thai customs: bring the notification, your ID and a photocopy of your ID and pick up at Thai customs which is here:

 

http://www.customs.go.th/wps/wcm/connect/414d586c-f112-426c-b172-8f29d91328b5/Postal+customs+house+%28English+Version%29.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CACHEID=414d586c-f112-426c-b172-8f29d91328b5

 

We never had any problems before either with USPS, but the last parcel was in customs for over a week.

I had to pick it up there. Not a major thing. You just have to open it up in front of a customs officer and explain what it is, pay duty and you're done.

 

Hope you will receive a notification from the post office and not customs, because going to 111 soi Chaeng Watthana 5 is a PITA. (distance wise)

 

 

 

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know if the Phrakanong post office is open on Sunday?

Tried to find it online, but no success.

 

Thanks in advance:)

About time indeed. And please re'open Asoke intersection today.

Yes, please. Someone get rid of the stage, the speakers, the noise.. It's enough.

Or set up shop elsewhere: preferably far, far away from here.

Sad story.

Hi all,

I went to do some shopping at Villa on Sukhumvit yesterday at around 2.00 am. Got 2 six packs of beer as well.

I have been doing this for years, never a problem.

However, yesterday at the cashier they informed me of the "no alcohol after midnight" rule and took the beer from my cart.

I know this is a standard procedure at 7-eleven, but was very surprised to run into this at Villa.

Is this a new regulation at Villa that I am not aware of or have they become stricter?

Thanks.

Couldn't agree more l

It would be nice to see every shop stop selling them.

Filthy habit for weak minded people.

It would be even better if people stop butting into someone else's life and minded their own business.

Its normal. The cigarette tax just increased. CPALL will have to deal with Philip Morris before they start selling again. They will be back.

Hi all,

I have been to a few 7-Elevens in the last couple of days and they are out of cigarettes (Marlboro) which is quite unusual. I noticed they only stock the Thai brands.

Would anyone know if this is temporary or is this a new policy?

Thanks

nice bunch of people we have here. Apparently smokers is on a par with shop lifting, and others are almost Saudi in their response to the vicious crime of dropping a fag but.

Smokers are an easy target for the filth to extort money. Simple as that. The same cops all smoke, and drop their buts on the floor. There actions have nothing to do with policing and everything to do with extortion. The same as everything else they so. They are not a police force they are a criminal moneymaking racket. I am amazed that anyone would ever rush to their defence. They are incompetent fools who are not fit to be called police. Because they are not. They have even reduced to the entrance exam into a method for people to buy their way in. Each promotion would be bought and paid for. I heard the other day from a chap whose Dad is in the police that the police housing in Chokchai 4 is mostly sublet because even the newer recruits con good enough dime to live in a nicer house.

It is no different to them extorting protection money from businesses (which they do, as do the army, and the mafia gangs as well). It is no different from the extorting money from motorists whose only offence was driving a car near the end of the month and the coppers want some ore cash. Why is everyone attacking smokers? The police here are scum. Sure there are irresponsible smokers same as the drinkers who puke up their guts, cause fights, and all sorts (the two are not mutually exclusive). I find a puddle of puke a lot more offensive than a fag butt on the floor.

The lack of bins are not because of security. Cripes, there is so much crap on the streets of this country that you could put a few large boxes of bomb materials anywhere and no one would pay attention to them. Thailand is so wrapped up in its own image of itself believing they are a world player ( ) that they think they are a target? Well no - they have 2 ladies on each bit of street paid to walk up and down to pick up rubbish. Even if there was not any rubbish they would still be employed to do so because giving people jobs is more important to Thais (especially when they most likely had to pay a bribe to get the job) and it is cheap cheap cheap. Have bins.... you need a truck to pull away the rubbish and then that creates havoc on the roads because they have no concept of managing things. At all. Except extortion. Which they are good at.

Each BTS station has at least one copper on the bridge looking out for Farangs dropping cigarette buts. that is his job. To make money. I and would think to get that job he has and is paying a job lot of cash to his superiors.

Rise up fellow smokers - read my thread about cat and mouse with the coppers and bore them into submission.

Well said

Try Fortune Town (IT mall), much more quiet and friendlier than Pantip Plaza.

Easy to get there by MRT (Phra Ram 9)

Very sad news again..

Yes, mine was turned off yesterday at 3pm, no warning just zap, what a complete shower of tossers, customer service here is nonexistant, hoping for a new box and card today!!!

Exactly what happened. Zap, gone. No warning whatsoever. They claim otherwise. (of course) Anyway, just spoke to a customer service guy: new box and card Friday afternoon....

The service is so bad. I am seriously considering an alternative.

We had exactly this issue a couple of weeks ago. A new box and card was required as apparently they are turning off all the old boxes and cards.

Wifey called, the Thai language line seems to be answered more rapidly.

Thank you Crossy.

Did True at least had the courtesy to inform of this? How long does it take to get a new box?

Have you tried unplugging the box and plugging it in again (always the first course of action)?

Sophon

Thanks Sophon for your reply.

Yes, I have. Still getting the same annoying message on the screen.

Will have to call them first thing tomorrow.

Just turned on the tv, but get the message "this channel is currently scrambled" for ALL of the channels. (TCM, HBO, etc)

Why? What the heck is going on? I can't even get a hold of them to "re-set" the box. (Maybe that is the problem)

Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks in advance.

I am so fed up with this cable provider.

You need to get on your bike so to speak and have a look for yourself instead of having others here on Thia Visa do your homework for you. There are many places in Soi 22 & 24 for Baht 3500 -- 20,000

Go and spend a day walking to check them out.

"to do your homework for you". Jeez.., the guy just asked for some advice. Why bother replying if you have nothing to contribute?
