modafinil

Excellent, thank you very much for your replies.

My Thai girlfriend has got a 3 month visa to stay in Sweden. If she books a flight that goes via Zurich Switzerland, will she have any problems?

Thanks.

What economic category of Indian citizen do you think can afford to holiday, abroad,  in Thailand?

 

It's all relative.

 

Wake up.

 

 

 

 

I think it's more to do with the fact that India is a hot country, just like Thailand. So the number of winter "sun-seekers" from India is basically nil.

Thanks Ubonjoe, that's what I was hoping. I'll get my flights booked.

My passport has one Single Entry Tourist Visa from my home country, followed by 2 back-to-back Single Entry Tourist Visas from Vientiane, Laos.

Am I likely to have any problems if I go back there a third time to get another Single Entry Tourist Visa?

The other possibility is going to Penang, but the flights are more expensive and the visa run vans are deadly (3 dead last week on the way to Penang).

Did somebody ask for me?

I also couldn't find Modafinil in Thailand, despite my best efforts.

I'll visit them this weekend and get my account sorted out. Thank you for the advice

I'm not sure what kind of account it was, but the balance was probably under 1000 Baht, so that explains why the account was closed.

Thank you for the tip about the normal ATM card for 200B! Is there an annual renewal fee with the 200 Baht card, do you know? I remember paying 500 Baht (I think) for a couple of years to "reactivate" my card - no doubt they tricked me into paying for the overpriced card when I opened the account.

My company are with SCB, but they have told me that I can open an account with any bank.

I am working in Thailand - I have a Non-B visa and a Work Permit. My company has been paying me in cash, but I've decided to open a Thai bank account for my salary.

I used to have an account at Kasikorn, but when I visited today they told me my account was closed due to inactivity. They told me I needed to deposit 10,000 Baht, and pay them 800 baht for an ATM card.

Are there any banks that do not charge for an ATM card?

Not a day that goes by that I don't thank my lucky stars I had the common sense to get out of Thailand - it's so refreshing and all the Thai nationalistic BS is way in the past.

Where do you live now ?

These jokes are awful - this isn't the time or the plaice.

Assistant Manager at All Seasons-30K(my ex was one)

Assistant Manager at Hilton-30K(a friend of mine is)

General Manager at Holiday Inn-90k per month(was offered the job)

General Manager, foreigner sourced in Thailand 90K

General Manager brought from Overseas-120-150 package.

You don't know what you're talking about. What does an "Assistant Manager" at a hotel do? Are you talking about the GMs Assistant? The Duty Manager? The Night Manager?

The only Assistant Managers working in any major hotels here are deputys for the various department heads - and 30K would be a very reasonable salary for that kind of position in Thailand.

Gee, your reasoning seems so solid...

I'll give you something better( or actually worse) - a small piece of metal shrapnel on a runway caused the Concorde in Paris to go up in flames.

Why would anyone ban these near the airfields? These objects climb to high altitudes, - several thousand feet reported along the flight path - and go propelled by wind, and most importantly usually consist of metal wiring keeping the balloon together... Now that metal wiring consists of more material than the aforementioned torx screwdriver lug(the end bit) that can in itself destroy a jet engine, or to go even more detail the writers example in my previous post, of a small metallic piece the size of ballpoint pen's ball, for that matter...

Those foreign objects do not belong inside aircraft jet engines, any more than birds, but can contribute a lot more destructively to the outcome.

It also has nothing to do with enjoying a festival, neither imposing anything over-the-top as you suggest, it's just common sense.

Oh and to answer more promptly - the airlines themselves have diverted and delayed flights upon certain festivity timetables, so that there would be even smaller risk of anything catastrophic happening - I suggest you take their reasoning into account as well, but as you've showed in your postings, you will propably not

I actually agree with you to a certain extent. Sky lanterns CAN be dangerous - it's just very very unlikely that they actually WILL be dangerous.

Your reasoning is that they constitute a small danger, my reasoning is that the danger is almost nil, as shown by the complete lack of aviation accidents caused by sky lanterns.

Normal sky lanterns fly up to about 1000 feet - an average airliner takes 20 seconds to climb to that height. The plane has barely left the perimeter of the airport before it has outclimbed any sky lanterns. I don't know where you get your "several thousand feet" figure - it seems like a silly exaggeration which undermines your otherwise valid points.

Howcome every airforce in the world constitutes FOD (Foreign Object Damage) as a high threat, as well a costly one, but you want to ignore this human made FOD, just based on something that has not yet brought a civilian airliner down?

A single torx screwer end bit ingested by a jet engine can result in catastrophic engine failure - also you can google up dozens of FOD-failures which, while less dramatic objects in size than birds, getting ingested end really badly.

How did the torx screwdriver get in the sky?

We should ban the sale of torx screwdrivers. They are dangerous, because a negligent ground crew decided to leave one inside a jet engine.

Can you give me an example of an occasion when a sky lantern caused any damage whatsoever to any aeroplane anywhere in the world? If you can't, then we should probably just let Thai people get on with enjoying their festival, without imposing over-the-top Western style safety measures on them.

Are there a lot of rocks at Bang Toe beach?

Sounds painful.

My advice is to go to Patong immigration. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.

Hard to read that wall of words and stopped reading at the dozy short sighted Japs.

Try not posting after a few drinks. Your bigotry and illiteracy is showing.

Let's be honest here. You are trying to bait, or provoke, other posters into a reaction by making inflammatory comments about a part of Phuket that many people happen to like. Myself included.

Don't you live in the Chalong area? I've seen the beach there, and it is a thousand times worse than Kamala Beach. Sure, you can travel to a beautiful beach, and so can the residents of Kamala.

You seem proud that you made another poster feel angry - why don't you try making more positive posts in the future?

6,000 million....eh, right. Thinking in Thai terms, but prolly meant 6 billion?

Believe it or not, 1,000 million and 1 billion is the same number written in a different format.

Wow, you are really interested in Kamala, Pinot.

Why not rent a motorbike and visit some of the other beaches on the island of Phuket?

We could have a special sticky thread for complaining about every beach on the island - wouldn't that be great!

<deleted>

Patong is very lively, and as safe as anywhere in Phuket. It's pretty central if you want to travel around the island.

I think yo can get them for playstations & x-box's as an add on, so they may have them at the game shop in Central.

Yes, the popular game "Rock Band" is widely available. You can buy different instruments (drums, mic, guitar etc) and plug them into your Xbox or Playstation - you need a copy of the game too.

Of course, it's not the same as a real drum kit, electronic or otherwise.
