Slightly aside, but I read on Stickman how there is a new breed of Expat in Thailand these days. Have a read......Stickman I would think most are sent here from their home company for assignment. Salaries in Thailand are normally listed in baht/month, 15,000 pcm is certainly NOT enough, wherever. But there may be commissions on top of that in your game. Good Luck

Bring your UK licence.You will need a non-Immigrant Visa. Get a letter of residency from immigration. Doctors Certificate (100-200 baht from most doctors) Photos. Some information here

No it is democrats at work!

Big Macs must be one of the best then!

You obviously heard what was said at the Expats Club.I took a look at my 2 machines,my Vista one I had to disable Java, and I don't see any problems so far. I have Adblock running already. My Windows 7 machine, Java was already disabled, I think Firefox did it automatically or prompted me to before.

You got off lightly....... I got surprised for 2 Gala Dinners once when making a non-refundable booking through them. You have to keep your wits about you and really look things over before the pay button gets hit!

Did you have breakfast in the AM? I was wondering if the place was heavily frequented by Arab/Indian considering it's location. Was there somewhere secure to leave your bike? I sometimes do the same but have mostly been around Soi 13, or Diana area. Too many places want 1500 baht and up now!

I miss being near to the night-life..... when I go out I like to have a drink so .driving is out of the question.Even going out to eat involves a drive and traffic is getting worse, you don't feel it if you are already in town, and on foot. Perhaps less of an issue for some,but I don't particularly like driving, being able to stroll to a nearby bar or restaurant (and back again) would be nice.

Yes, these numbers change And United's opinion probably has too.New aircraft designs may initially have poorer reliability. Source it or waffle it. Boeing 777 one of the worst...well worse than the A380, and A320 at 99.7% (Source China World Aviation Leasing Co., Ltd.). I don't have a problem at all. But I really wonder about these numbers to be honest.

I tried to find some rankings, the ATR came out higher than most!Let the person making the claims provide sources! United were unhappy a few years back. I found Boeing claims of 99.2% for the 300ER The 787 has 96.3 %, but does that include recent events? A380 marketing head Richard Carcaillet says the retrofit improvements lifted the fleet's dispatch reliability rate by a percentage point, to 99.3%, from the beginning of 2012. So the A380 is better?

There is some info on Agoda.

Glitterman has gone so the job is open should you want it!

A phrase I dislike intensely as it tells you nothing. It isn't THE MOST RELIABLE, otherwise it would say that. So it is second, third or fourth rated........ don't know.... just means someone can't be bothered telling you the real numbers so hits you with that phrase....one of the most annoying phrases out there. There is data by airline, by type, by type of delay, by type of failure causing the delay and no doubt much more. I'm not sure how much of that information is publicly available.

I have a friend selling a 2 Storey house but it is further North than you specify, Located near Kasalong Resort, Suk Soi 21, opposite Banglamung Police Station. Not sure if it is even still on the market as owner out of country.... but will contact him if it will help. To be honest I just read your post and it falls down on a few issues, no communal pool, nor security, but I am not sure those items are a big deal! Think hard about moving too far out of town...... it has it's disadvantages if you like to go out!

You need to read around the board more, Skytops has closed and that block looks derelict and ready for knocking down.BigD all a flutter as his usual 'home from home' not available. There are heavy crowds in WS most of high season with the high Russian contingent. Personally don't mind the Americans in town, but when a gang of them arrive in a GGB I am in, I usually move on...........

I imply that the flag is superfluous, since your 'country' is written there under your avatar, as is all BMs. if they choose to reveal it.. I am unsure as to whether it is OK, never actually been there, been to Ireland, the Guinness was great.
