  1. Well if you cannot get a tourist visa, which would be my recommendation, you may have to bring evidence of a throwaway ticket/booking with you. It is possible you may be asked to show travel bookings out of Thailand prior to the expiration of the 30 day visa exempt stamp to check-in for your flight. It is also possible (slim chance) immigration in Thailand would want to see something similar. I suggest something you could cancel and get a refund for... then a 1800 baht extension at immigration becomes an easier option than the flight in and out.. (or a land crossing). Note a land crossing will only get you 15 days.
  2. Lots of names in that last film......I can't respond to my own post. Still on... Around the World in 80 days.
  3. Pity Qatar do not offer a limo to the airport for Biz Class. At 70 miles limit (Manchester) would you qualify for that? Allowance irrelevant to me, normally exit LOS with an empty suitcase. I bet your missus could fill a container.

  18. It's dependent on how long you expect to keep it. Firstly I expect you have a Thai driving licence and a long-term visa that will allow you to own a vehicle... after that it is a matter of working it out. A top of the range truck will be up to say a million baht, insurance, maintenance and tax each year on top. If your rental is 115k each trip it will be 8-9 years before covering those expenses.... not including any resale value on the truck. I used to rent a motorcycle for 1800/month, and the TGF persuaded me it was a waste of money. At first I was sceptical as a 55,000 baht outlay looked more of a commitment than a saving. I still have the same bike after 9 years and obviously saved a bundle! And still have the bike running and looking good... one bad accident could have changed all that though.

  23. Well you might have to pick the time on that one. Yes quiet at the moment, but I have seen Soi Siam CC backed up for a good Km heading towards Suk, and it can become stationary at the railway line junction.What happens is Expats learn when to not go into town, and do so less.

  25. The rule just forces it to get harder and harder and prevents 'circles'.... If it reaches a dead end, topic will be closed and a new one restarted..
