Not likely to improve for a spell though is it?

Which debit card avoids the 150 baht Thai charge?

A man in a pet shop is fed up of looking at puppies and kittens, rabbits and goldfish... I want something different, unusual he said to the proprietor. Okay he says fed up ....how about this........ Oh wow, that is wonderful, how cute..........what is it? It's a baby gorilla..... What will it eat......? Milk and baby food, banana flavour....... Where will it sleep? It's only a baby, at the foot of the bed, in a crib, Wonderful, I will take it....... I must warn you that it will grow quickly, and in 12 months will be 6 foot 6 and weigh 360 lbs. Where on earth will it sleep then....... Wherever the fuck it wants to.

So bring 1000 $1 bills to change next trip.

I think I have advised opening an account and transferring money into it at least 2 dozen times on this board. My transfer fee is £17......... bugger. And 500 baht at this end...bugger. What I do like is taking out 10900 baht. 15900 or just 900, so I have some change. Where does it all go?

Yeah I spotted a large bottle in TOPs recently. Carlsberg was my Thailand tipple for a number of years and I probably drank enough to float a tanker in. Surprised to hear it tastes horrible.... maybe designed to compete with Pattaya lager which I haven't heard much of.

That is quite a big dog and why I asked. I have seen small dogs accommodated at a hotel or two but don't know about this. Try this.

That's it, my birthday treat to me decided.

Have you not considered just going to Moe-chit? A lot of buses heading up to KK from there.

Well I think I made my point that a diesel could have saved you a bit.... it is subsidised in Thailand. A truck, will also be cheaper to 'tax' if it only has 2 doors.

They have done this before..... I suppose you have to at least be glad that they gave you some warning. What were the options they gave you? If demand is low, there might be some cheaper flights available if you can get a quick refund. Some carriers can be a bit sneaky and do it closer to the time, so that you cannot insist on a refund. You will get here.........

A Ford Ranger 3.0TDCi (Diesel) has figures of 20.8 mpg (11.3 l/100km ), a Ford Mondeo II Hatchback 1.8 I 16V (1996) (petrol) 21 mpg (11.2 l/100km). Are you driving this Altis for long distances at high speed?

Me too. Adam Goldberg

So you believe a diesel engine consumes more fuel than a petrol engine/km. Unless you are comparing a 6 axle truck to a Ford Fiesta I find that a surprising statement. If it was purely down to miles per gallon, diesel would win. Easily. A Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi returns a quoted Combined consumption of 69mpg. The petrol equivalent of the same capacity does 49mpg. Add that to diesel costing 29.99 baht/litre and petrol (benzine) being about 44 baht /litre I wonder what you mean. Gasohol is cheaper than benzine. I am unsure of the mpg numbers, but I thought they were comparable. Similarly your comparing driving in China to Thailand would depend where you are talking, I have spent a lot of time stationary in Wuhan amidst disgusting pollution.

There is a link up there saying they already are!

I had that thought... I was trying to think where had I seen a clock with the date that worked.
