  1. Well for me it is easier to get to, but you are right, not a lot in it. I can take the nearby Hwy 36 and then 331, which should be easy out of peak travel times. Of course also no 110x2 baht toll. If I had to take Sukhumvit all the way I wouldn't even consider it! I also had a vain hope it would be a quieter relaxed airport at UTP, Swampy is so busy and crowded these days. My first attraction was the cheaper ticket, but the timings and only 3 day operations are a negative.
  2. Anybody have any experience of these guys.. ETicket? Search engine seems to work well, and some good fares coming up... I nearly booked to UK the other day with Turkish, a too good to be true Biz Class fare. In the end I got windy over using their payment portal. Some searches come up with 'Available Fare but No Seat'...something about being flexible on travel dates. They came in with a search on Skyscanner Thailand
  3. Just looking at Qatar via UTP as an option in August. They are coming in a bit cheaper than both Emirates and Etihad. But not keen on the early morning departure from UTP, nor evening arrival in Manchester, and again an early, rush hour departure from Manchester. Three flights a week now and the leg to UTP has the Rangoon stop over and is a small A319.

  8. I believe they are grown in the Korat (Pak Chong)and Nan areas, both hilly. I tried to grow a tree from a stone in my garden... it got to sapling size and no more.

  16. Your plan sounds fine. No 90 day reporting requirement as you do not plan to stay for more than 90 consecutive days. If the condo owner takes care of the TM30 better still, it is actually his responsibility. I do see a requirement to resubmit the TM30 on your return from the small trip. Obtaining a 1st time tourist visa in an adjacent country is usually OK, although one hear rumours of problems here and there. For example I hear that Penang was limiting the number it issues on a daily basis and you may get told to come back. Many people use Vientiane There is another Thai based website that specialize in Visa questions. and they have some very knowledgeable experts. I may not be up to date as I got suspended over there because of my big mouth and now don't use the site. Do a Google for Thai Visa Forum. They will recommend countries and mention any that are problematic. Did you consider applying for a Multiple Entry tourist Visa? In the UK the extra requirements are:- Original bank statement of the applicant showing a balance of at least £5,000 (for 6 months) or a print out with official stamp of the bank A letter from the applicant's employer (in the UK and addressed to the Royal Thai Embassy) ( If you are self-employed, you self-assessment and a company registration document are required.) A photocopy of the confirmed air ticket to Thailand A photocopy of the hotel reservation confirmation in Thailand
  17. I have tried it since it went 'Classic', find it very bland. I like a Leo when I am at a restaurant and maybe at home on warm evenings, it's taste can work over ice so it is refreshing. SML when out on town, perhaps I can remain not overly fat with it!

    World Cup

    Yes I watched Oz and felt the same, good spirit. Didn't see any of the other games as I was in my pit early after our PT crawl the previous night. Other than Russia too many low scoring (1-0) matches, and many games a bit dull. Good on Croatia!
  19. I hold £ Sterling, we need more than luck!!!
  20. I had an unpleasant night or two when I first moved here due to large bottles of Chang. To the extent I stopped drinking it, which was a shame as I liked the taste.
  21. Chang is 5% now. Previously it seemed to vary, but I believe stated as 6.4 in the domestic brew.
  22. Thanks, that is pretty much as I believed it to be, you could buy coupons or use True Money. Although I just took a look and a new option of Bank Transfer, Paypal and even bitcoin is mentioned! Seems a complicated way to pay, having to get coupons... or go via True money. As daft as those Thai food courts where you have to Q 3 times to get served once!
  23. What numbers..... don't you have to go to the 7-11 and get some prepaid card?
  24. Yeah, tallguy reported much the same. Wonder if it is because they had to shuffle things around due to RR Engine problems or U-Tapao demand just isn't there?
