  1. Quite correct I'm afraid. He is well know in Udon and some years ago he killed someone but due to his mother paying a (very) large amount of money to the police got off very lightly. He's at it again and the locals are fed up and as they cannot trust the local plod have asked for the BKK police to help sort him out - unfortunately money talks.

  2. Actually, the cover they are offering for expats is amazing, much better than the others i checked. In fact I've just applied as my current cover expires next month. The membership is only available until I'm 65 but that doesn't really concern me as I just want it for me and my kids whilst I'm living in Thailand. It beats anything else I've seen and let me tell you I have shopped around. I love it.

    It's 2 1/2 times the cost of my local BUPA Thailand insurance premium although the cover is more extensive.

    that was my first impression, but once i got the quotes for my child, her cover was almost the same as mine. With the RBI premium, for an extra 350 odd bucks to add the kid, it comes to nearly the same amount with superior coverage, evac etc...

    anyways i bit the bullet.

    I have been comparing this plan with the Thai Visa plans ( Health Insurance ) and have to say Thai Visa seems to come off best ? Apart from not cutting you off at just 65 they offer the same amounts but with much lower premiums and backed by Allianz - sorry but this plan you are talking about just does not stack up ! Take a look yourself

  3. and there wont be a lot of rioting in Banbury where he is going to stay with his aunty. B)

    I wouldn't be so sure, my nephew lives not far from Banbury and he has just posted, on his Facebook page, that thugs have just looted a vending machine and made off with a couple of bars of chocolate.

    :lol:

  4. I have only had 1 claim but dealt with very well by AA, no complaints

    Seems this moaning "Wilma" is a professional at multiple insurance claims - I knew a few in the UK who made a living by ripping off insurance companies (until they were found out !) - seems Wilma has also been rumbled

  5. We had a meeting here in Pattaya last year. It was great fun and met a lot of people whom I conversed with on a regular basis there.

    TV is a great source of info...just need to weed out some of the silly comments. :(

    So about time for another one this year - please ............................

  6. There seems so many different plans with BBB just which one is the best.? I have to subscribe but do not know which to order after reading about Premier, Indy etc ?

    Help please !

    Try the 6mb 'indy' package first. 631.30 Baht all in per month. I have had it for 2 years and it is absolutely fine & fast enough for me. Try it first and upgrade if necessary.

    Many thanks for all the recommendations - will try the Indy first then work up

    Cheers

  8. What is your model? Android S/W/ rev? What version of Google Talk?

    What type of networks are you using?

    What functions are you experiencing problems with? Chat/IM?

    Hi lomotopo

    HTC Desire HD - 2.3 and the G Talk that comes as standard

    AIS - Edge

    IM drops out frequently

  9. First I must admit I have been used to BB and using their BB Messenger which I feel cannot be beaten by anyone for guaranteed speed and reliability.

    However I am now trying a HTC phone and using G Talk as the messaging program and am very disappointed to find G Talk keeps dropping out and I have to sign back in - maybe two/three times an hour !

    Anyone know a solution please ?

  10. Or

    On Saturday at Big C, South Pattaya Road, they have a booth set up and you can pay your car tax there and get your sticker, no extra fee required

    Bring the same documentation as stated above

    Do you know if you can do transfer of ownership or not at Big C on Saturday?

    No you cannot BUT you can buy the insurance opposite Big C at AA Insurance Brokers - they will also get the Road Tax for you.

  11. Many cargo ships also take passengers (max 12 allowed). Maybe you can research if any of the container ships are going from Laem Chabang direct to the UK or, failing that, get a train to Singapore and pick up a ship there going direct - takes approx 4 weeks.
