  1. What currency are you changing?
  2. I used to drive to Khon Kaen regularly and always saw the same group heading around the north-east section of the ring road about 7:30am in an anti-clockwise direction. I suggest you leave at 6:30am and travel clockwise. i also agree with the suggestion to search Strava or Garmin.
  3. I just completed this quiz. My Score 100/100 My Time 56 seconds  
  4. I needed same for license renewal. 500 baht
  5. I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 165 seconds  
  6. No agents, no professional pictures, no counter signatories and no UK visit required. This is recent information as of two months ago. I applied online with the HMPO website while in Thailand. Uploaded my own telephone pics which were checked and accepted by the website. Paid with my UK credit card. Sent my old passport to HMPO from Thailand with priority EMS at post office. Used my sister's UK address for delivery. When my sister received my new passport, she posted to Thailand with Royal Mail tracked/signature/airmail service. From online application to receipt of new passport in Thailand took six weeks.
  7. I had to call HMPO on three consecutive days in February. +443003300901 Frustratingly, after the first two calls and assuming each time that the matter was resolved, I received an email requiring further action. Finally resolved the issues and clarified exactly what was required then sent my old passport directly to them with priority EMS from Thailand to the UK. My advice is not to try and understand the logic nor question why the request was not made earlier - simply clarify what is needed then do it - without getting frustrated with the person on the other end of the call..

  11. Good job that you managed to convince a Thai woman to change her mind. 😄 I'm actually not a million miles away here in Roi Et so if your needs change, i can chuck a few coins in the mail.
  12. Do they have to be American coins? I have a large selection from numerous countries that I use when teaching. I'm sure I could spare a few.
  13. I suspect that vehicle it is a mobile music bus that can be hired for your celebration. Looks very similar to something I recently saw/heard at a local wedding. They roll up to the venue and start blasting out their wares for everyone in the village to 'enjoy'. The Thais love their bass! The one I encountered was also bright red.
  14. I'm guessing it's that time of the year where you can set your watch by the arrival of the daily KL monsoon...
  15. Any words I use to express how I feel about the OP will be automatically deleted by the AN algorithm so I shall simply add him to my blocked list instead. Karma has a way of dealing with these low-lifes...
  16. I've taken on two dogs this way. Ostensibly, they belonged to two different neighbours but after bringing them home for treatment and food, there was no pushback from their former owners. Both dogs considered me their new dad and made no attempt to return to their original abode. Go for it and please help this poor pup.
  17. I'm not saying that I'm too competitive - however... I couldn't let GarryP's post go unanswered. ☺️ ???? One of the great things about Issan is the general lack of hills - just over 1m of climbing for every horizontal kilometre.
