Hi Maat, u can add this to your list if u wish.
1) Take the yellow Songthaew to Thung Hua Laen for 30 baht from next to the main market 7 Eleven (opp the bus station, big Yamaha sign) on Saladaeng. There's an hourly service to/fro
2) Opposite the Railway station is Papa's seafood restaurant, and next to it is Papa's coyote club. It was freezing in there but some good looking girls were dancing. Only gets busy after 11pm though.
3) The mini bus station is situated next to the Ocean Mall or in the alley directly opposite Nanaburi Hotel.
4) The lady who runs the internet cafe opp Farang bar has amazing knowledge of the area around and is very helpful.

The "changes" do not apply to SAR zones Macau and HK

Our mozzies travelled up to the 24th floor in the elevators. You need to "fight" them off before entering your appartment.

This is one of your earlier posts?
In Topic: Retiring At 32 With $3M Usd
2012-07-22 23:31:25Youre're not retiring, you are changing lifestyles. I have made a similar move at comparable age and savings.From what I've seen in Thaialand, I wouldn't invest a penny here. Very little money to be made, tremendous competitom from the million expats living here, huge levels of corruption, etc. If you love Thailand so much and now have some financial freedom, I would recommend staying here a few months and see how you like it. Living here as an expat is a lot different than visiting on holiday for a couple of weeks every year. Very very different actually.Sounds like you made some money and now have no idea what to do with yourself now. Believe me I empathize. I would suggest you will need quite a bit of time and reflection to figure out the next chapter of your life. -

Let's see: 62 people @ 10,000 Euro each = 620,000 Euro
At exchange rate of just 30:1 = 25,330,000 baht (approx).
Could have lived a very nice, quiet life here, and never had to worry about a thing, IF he had really wanted to. Like one poster said: It's not the money, it's the game.
Idiot.
620,000 x 30 = 25,330,000 ?

It always seems to be the white man that gets scammed. Why would anyone give this creep 10,000 without checking his credentials and background ? As the Indians and Thai's always say....stupid rich white people. They cant understand where the stupid white man gets all his money from.
by working for a living,not sat around all day drinking sansom
work? whats that?

3040% seems quite good to me - but surely there will be a lot of guests disappointed to find they have been double booked!
or it was a typo ........30-40%

If Farang wants to come to Thailand, they should contribute to the local economy too.
Next time, they bring their own van, to visit their own bars, and drink their own beers, and perhaps even import their own girls (from the Philippines).
Might want to reread the article before making blatently incorrect statements. The vans used are a local hire, they don't visit their own bars, nor do they bring beer from America to drink. Many might want to have girls from the Philippines, but after being in the gulf for 97 days, where would they get them?
saipan? guam?

Be careful of the guys hanging around the Xray machine at the entrance. They wear ties, carry a bundle of applications and look "official".
I thought they were from the embassy but realized they were agents when they asked me for 4000 B.
rush in when the doors open, grab a number, fill in the form and wait your turn.
I pay 1800 B and get the visa (single entry) on the same day at 3pm
prices cud have changed recently
