  3. The Bible. In the beginning..
  4. Almost certainly. My regular dentist said they overcharged me by fitting an unnecessary precious metal crown. But she likes to sell me cosmetic things too.....
  5. Sounds like Villa.
  6. It isn't much more to use the Rung Ruen bus station on North Rd. Buses to Ekamai (Sukhumvit) or Moe Chit. They are full sized coaches and backpacks can go underneath.
  7. Yeah I had a crown done there. Not cheap! But a modern clinic with good facilities. Dentist was a pleasant young woman and they had a Philipina receptionist that could speak good English.
  8. The Third Man
  9. Yeah.. odd that but at least it gives the older guys with limited funds an opportunity to remain here then! Personally if I am here at 65+ and cannot maintain 800k on deposit I would be nervous.

  12. I shall be there soon myself en-route back to LOS. Years ago, they were very anti photographs in these Middle Eastern airports. As airports go, I don't think much of AUH, now the new Dubai terminal is something else.

  14. The 'State' pension is £110.15 per week, about $175 or 5500 baht! Not enough to qualify for a retirement extension or Non-Imm-O.
  15. The Green Mile
  16. I bet Mimosa is biting into their profits... it is only 50 baht for Thais.
  17. LA Confidential
  18. George Takei

  20. Do you understand what 'an example' implies ??? I most certainly have seen such confusion in other threads,
  21. It was in June 2012 that I requested it's unlocking....and I don't think it was 5 years old. O2 are still offering 'Free' expensive phones with a contract, like an IPhone5 for £32/month. This is from their website... For Pay Monthly and Pay & Go Customers If you're a Pay Monthly customer then you can request for your handset to be unlocked at any time, free of charge. This policy may vary according to the handset you have purchased. Don't forget that you'll still need to honour the remainder of the minimum term of your contract even if you place a non-O2 SIM into your phone. To request for your phone to be unlocked, click here and complete the requested information. If you're a Pay & Go customer, your O2 mobile can be unlocked 12 months after purchase for a one-off £15 fee which we'll deduct from your airtime balance. This policy may vary according to the handset you have purchased.
  22. I used to wear these Redwing trainer types as site requirements stated steel toe caps .... Although I was mostly in the control rooms and out-and-about less frequently. Always getting into arguments with those safety morons though!
  23. Just can't handle it, my bedroom has double glazing and seems to get warm when we are in it, so the AC runs all night. Too much early morning noise from the damned Wat to leave windows open. Got a few guests at the moment and bet the place is lit up like Blackpool in September.
  24. I have a retirement extension, and when I renew it each year, I immediately put a multiple exit/re-entry permit in there too. I obtain the extension in Thailand. If you are over 50...get a Non-Imm O visa in your home country.. Get a multiple if you can... that will allow you over a years stay, but oblige you to exit the country every 90 days. Apply for a retirement extension in Thailand...Put some money in the bank when you get here and look for a place to stay If you only get a single entry, you have 90 days to sort things out. A retirement visa obtained in the USA (Non-Imm O-A visa) is an alternative, but more effort to obtain, requiring a police report. These are good in that if you exit Thailand within it's validity, and you get another 1 years permission on return. (presuming visa still has not expired then too).
