  1. To be clear, it is the conversion of a tourist visa/Visa Exempt to a Non-Imm O (in preparation for a retirement extension), which can now only be done in Bangkok. One can arrive in Jomtiem with a Non-Imm O, obtained in your home country or say Laos, and apply for an initial (first time) retirement extension there. More detail in this Thai Visa thread.
  2. Silly quoting myself, but I saw Crazy Dave's advertised yesterday in the Pattaya People.
  3. If that large toggle switch is all that it takes to operate it, better not be kept in a pocket.
  4. Empire of the Sun
  5. I have unlearned something I did know, I think.
  6. Perhaps a Victory-V would work better?
  7. I shall check again tomorrow....... (That silly interchange made as much sense to me as the OP so I feel confident it isn't really a thread-fuck!)
  8. I forget, did you, will you, have you?
  9. Point Break (the late Patrick Swayze). Yeah get that nurse in there. She don't look like the type to keep you awake all night prayin'.
  10. Carry On Columbus (24hr)
  11. Did you? Have you? Will you....?
  12. Yes I have done that flight, but both ways. There was a special deal on the Biz Class ex BKK, so it was cheap, and the flight south was a 747, so we got lie flat beds which seemed like overkill for a 2 hour hop. My Mrs didn't like the red wine so I drank hers too and had a definite sway waiting at passport control in Changi.
  13. When I saw the OP yesterday, prior to any replies, I just felt, 'I can't be bothered even applying any thought or research to this;........ It developed more legs than I thought it would.
  14. Karma was being discussed elsewhere on this board Gary. Trusting to karma, is a cop out of course........ One thing seems true, good guys finish last.
  15. The Crying Game
  16. Daniel Day-Lewis
  17. I have seen the inside of my water tank and would not dream of drinking from the tap. All my water is delivered by a truck in big clear bottles. It says 'Spring Water' on the bottles but the only spring is in the step of the delivery boy as he charges me 50 baht/bottle.
  18. Legacy Air. Late 2013, now they only appear to offer Bangkok to Chittagong. There's a hot route.
  19. Jared Harris.
  20. Layer Cake...Colm Meaney. I would rather have a good conversation.
  21. Yes, I hope they catch a few sponsors saying a tearful Casablanca farewell to their sweetheart, handing over all his residual baht, then follow her from departures, to arrivals, where sponsor number 9 arrives to great hugs and kisses.
  22. Brrr 19 DegC this morning.... swim cancelled!!

  23. Not a single USA carrier in the list?
  24. Brr, a nippy 22 DegC today, need a T-Shirt!

      Surely a singlet will do Jacko : )

  25. Correct, I took a quick look and it does incorporate a change in HKG. That cheap price seemed to have good availability in June providing you return before late June and select mid-week travel. It is a no mileage, no refund ticket but can include a stopover in HKG. Only 2.5 and 2 hours wait in HKG and a travel time of 17.20/17.40 hrs. A good price indeed. But they appeared to be Cathay flights leaving LHR at 5pm.
