  1. Maybe he was visiting his mother-in-law whilst in Hat Yai.
  2. No. Everything went back to normal as of 1st August.
  3. It was a single town in the Thai province of Monthon Syburi until the Anglo-Siamese treaty of 1909 when Thailand ceded Kedah and Perlis to British Malaya. This left Padang Besar straddling an international border.
  4. Well the question was about visiting tourist areas, and you would accept a large proportion of tourists going to Pattaya do so for the entertainment.
  5. In the 28 years I've known Thailand I've visited Pattaya just 3 times. It's OK for a lad's weekend but I can't say it appeals to me as somewhere to live. Though that holds for most popular tourist resorts in Thailand, fine for a holiday but wouldn't wish to live there.
  6. Stealing no, just salvage and tidying the beach up.
  7. It's one of my favourite times of the year in Hat Yai, bring on the rain.
  8. I renewed mine online from Thailand at the start of the year. Provided you're under 70 you can have them use the photo in your current passport. My brother posted the licence out to me. All done in two weeks. Back on subject I have a Monzo account that just needed passport and utility bill, I used my council tax bill. No issues with using the app or debit card in Thailand.
  9. You'd need a shovel, half the members are six foot under, the rest of us are one foot in the grave.
  10. Agree with both. The McGuigans red is also good, the red label is a red blend, the black label a merlot. Available from Big C. The 19 Crimes shiraz I like, the red blend is good too, not tried the cabernet. Available from Villa Market, Tops and Big C.
  11. You could make the local transfer using Wise.
  12. That includes international arrivals at provincial airports too?
  13. NordVPN works for me. On the rare occasions it fails, switching to a different NordVPN UK server fixes the issue.
  14. I misread that - thought it said medals - guess I need new glasses ???? .
  15. The current craze in Hat Yai is for Izakaya style bars, visited a couple so far, and have been recommended another four. Meats & Beers (Phone: 0896597230) (7.01132, 100.476655) Hard to find sister restaurant to Meats & Beans, tucked away at 54 Juti Uthit 4 Rd. Small izakaya in a shop house, just six tables. Interesting selection of beers including a potent Japanese rice beer. Steak offerings are as good as Meats & Beans, the wagyu donburi was excellent as were the pork belly and pickled salmon. Service was good, but the place was fairly empty so atmosphere was a bit lacking. Meal for two with beers was under Bht2000. Musashi (No phone number) (7.004966, 100.487304) On Thammanoonvithi Road right hand side leaving town, the area called Makinta Market pre Covid now occupied by this bar with the Mi.rin.da just behind. Sprawling bar with outside courtyard tables, and under cover of a big shed roof. Like many post Covid openings the 'inside' area is actually open on three sides so well ventilated. Asahi on draft plus a selection of standard Thai beers by the bottle. Big menu, scan the QR code, options for cook at the table sets, or small plates; meat on a stick, seafood, sushi and sashimi. Food was good, service was quick so no complaints. Pleasant atmosphere with live music. Evening for two was around Bht1000. The four we've yet to try are: Hattoyai Izakaya (Phone: 0832392566) (7.00626, 100.486915) Koeda Izakaya & Ramen (Phone: 0612034181) (7.020653, 100.482395) Porn Bar & Izakaya (Phone: 0875643833) (7.004511, 100.473746) This is just down the road from the West Side, it also sells ramen. What The Fish! (Phone: 0905921186) (6.996806, 100.502715) Firmly in student land, in Koh Hong district near Prince Songkhla University.
  16. Strewth but these currency traders live high on the hog.
  17. Botox and Grecian 2000
  18. I assume you have your data in 4 columns, DATE, XE, KBANK, WISE - select and highlight the data and on the menu bar go to Insert and then Recommended Charts and pick Insert Line Chart. Pick the option you want Line with or without markers - you have your graph.
  19. Cheap toiletries judging by the loads of shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste I see them filling shopping trollies with at Big C here in Hat Yai. .
  20. Wise is the wrong option for moving large sums of USD.
  21. I suspect that will just cause you more grief along the way. Just try a different Amphur, if your documents are all in order someone will marry you.
