Koh Samui. Off Soi 5 Maenam

Largest tree of it's kind in Thailand on Tong Nai Pan road, Koh Phangan...  Notice the bee hives on the upper branches!

Two trees in one...Chong Mon beach Samui.

Tough tree on beach near Nathon Samui

I usually try to avoid making comments on photos , but that last one is a "WOW".... (I see a few Monks have nodded off!)

Actually just about all your images are.... Thanks for being a great contributor to the forum!

To read  its getting pretty serious.
"Officials ground Koh Phangan private airport project"

Sorry MicheMiche! , we are not allowed to use reports from the Bangkok Post...   I had to remove the link.

How ever there is a new link on the Samui / KP forum

I don't think that the idea was abandoned. But the project has stopped because Kan air is broke.

 

 

 A bit more to it all than that although they (Kan Air) would have lost a pile of money trying it...  If I remember it was being built on National Park land and may have ruffled a few feathers!  Also it was a very poor location.. the drive down to the main road in Ban Tai is quiet hair raising!  I'd be surprised to see it get going again. There was a story in Samui section, which may help if you do an archive search ....

The airport on Koh Phangan was never finished.... the idea was abandoned several years ago.

Also be warned many are unemployable, you will have to provide their work permit and after they will run away at the drop of   hat.

Am s till yet to find someone im entirely  happy  with.......after 4  years

Used an agent in BKK and also a friend but its "pot  luck"

Perhaps you don't treat them well....?

I know Burmese workers who have worked for the same companies for 10 or 15 years ....some even in Management positions .... and get treated and paid very well by Thai standards.

My Canadian bank always sends regular mail, usually 5 days, never had a problem... can't see it would be any different from USA.

Must be  hard on the hands

Is there a similar topic for Extensions based on Marriage?

 

Has anyone had any issues getting a 60 day extension based on marriage whilst on a multiple Non 'O' based on marriage?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

I can't say I remember a topic on Marriage  but perhaps if any one knows add it here..

you need to do every 60 days, or was that a typo?
