Shipping cost 1,500 pounds. You can buy a lot of stuff in Thailand for that amount

Just to join in with a bit of banter. Why not move to Vietnam where the best french bread is available on every street corner. Or Vientiane where I have had the tastiest baguettes in SE Asia.

How did you manage to get an "OA" visa in Thailand. Can you pm me the agent.

My wife transferred my "precious number" to her car .No problem took 2 hours no tea money.

I think they are from a multiple entry non-o visa that allows 90 day entries.

I realize that, but the the OP is, according to them,  on a 30 day visa exempt. How do you  get a 90 day entry from a border crossing via air or land from a visa exempt as posted. For sure you need a Non O but the OP has a visa exempt The poor OP must be confused now. This thread is about a person trying to find the cheapest way to prolong there stay here.

They couldn't even translate the back side of the arrival card which is used by thousands of people every day properly, and when they made a new version of the arrival cards they still didn't correct their mistake, it still says "For non-Thai resident only". So you are really expecting too much from Thai bureaucrats ?

"For non-Thai resident only."

Is the wrong translation the fact it should be "residents"

Can't see anything wrong. Please enlighten.

Strange for me to read this topic. For 3+ years this topic has been dead.

Archive back and you will see the lively discussions with the heated comments regarded caddies.

Compulsory caddies have been a feature of Thailand golf since at least 1980 when there was a smattering of courses. Anyone playing golf since those times must have realized that on most courses a caddy will be a requirement. The management does not hijack the paying player with a hidden cost.

Except at military and a couple of member courses it is the norm to have a caddy.

Where i play in the Pattaya area, often caddies can slow down the game, you know 100 yards behind, last to the ball. One day we had no caddies at a course because none were available, the round was 30 mins faster than normal

Please tell me the name of the golf course that permitted you to play without a caddie.

Excluding military courses.

Trip of a lifetime my ass, if you go to Phuket these days you're 'slumming it'.

Beat me to it.

Go  for it and report your outcome on here

What type of car was he driving. Am I the only person to see the <deleted> farang driving the Lambo on lower Suk with the window down so that all can see him.

The Huntsman

Nothing on your list but Mark's and Spencer in Chidlom was my  English food preferred dry good's supplier . Try their tea, jam, biscuits, crisps, soups, canned meat, powder gravy and sweets. Their sweets are so tasty you will never buy local again. Quality costs money.

To the above poster a Grand Cherokee is advertised in a Thai newspaper so can't give full specs.

It is a 2016 3000cc diesel for 5,500,000 baht

Sorry forgot to add that( I maybe wrong) I have never seen a diesel Grand Cherokee in Thailand.

Cherokee diesels  are thin on the ground.

Almost all petrol Jeeps for sale are LPG converts.

Just to correct above post  the v8 is 4.7 liter

Owned a  Grand but petrol v8. Cars are robust but electrics electronics are weak. Biggest problems are getting spare parts. Some parts took 4 weeks to obtain. There is a garage in bbk called triple A who specialise in them

Today just drove past the ex Italian restaurant, ex clock restaurant, which became a sabu sishy (check spelling) type restaurant. Its closed with a for sale or rent sign outside.

As on another thread maybe the only way to succeed in the catering business is a bamboo hut on rented land. But then again the robin hood failed in Ban Chang.

Just had a look at a dealer's website so full retail price.

7777........1,000,000 baht.

777..........630,000 baht

77............350,000 baht

No single digit 7 for sale so assume most expensive and rarer.

9999... ....5,000,000 baht

Need some certified copy's that satisfy  financial institutes in UK. Just trying to save a trip to Pattaya.

Anyone done locally?

Tesco lotus rayong have it so presume cnx sell it. Mind you it is 780 baht per bar

You forgot to mention how many days you got stamped in for in Thailand. The guy in front of me at Nong Khai immigration three weeks ago, could not understand why he had been granted a 1 year ed visa but he only got a 60 day  permit to stay.

I had  former retirement extensions which have not been renewed since 2 years ago (Out of the country). When I apply for a new extension in the next two months how long has the 800,000 to be seeded in the bank. 60 or 90 days? Will apply in BKK immigration.
