ready for that one.... Second Hand Lions.

I hope they don't require 1900 baht with each one!

The Pattaya train line ends in Rayong I think, so that is not an option.You can book a minibus from pattaya which can take you to Snooky, with a likely overnight in Koh Kong. Overland from Koh Kong is via bus or share a taxi, I don't think the ferry service runs anymore.

Perhaps it is what you can do in Pattaya the night before that requires the severe calorific intake of a British full-Monty breakfast. Can't go out shaggin' all night on a diet of bugs and rice!

I changed my post that you quoted... in the matter of stuff like this you have to get the words right.

Mine was drinking tequila (none of that salt and lemon crap, with a side glass of tomato juice) a habit that set me back a few years.

If so rather sad,hardly an environment to cultivate new businesses. I agree that this is not a place to undertake running a business lightly..... Nor would I think employing the lokals to be easy on the patience..... Sorry to hear another falang has had to run with the tail between the legs. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

Oh, by the way you idiots, it is baht...B-A-H-T.... a bath is something Australians keep crocs in!

Bangkok Bank. No such papers with me, I think I just had the passport. Now here is the caveat.... at the time I had a sizeable savings account, and I was required to open a fixed term deposit as guarantee for the cards (I say cards but originally only applied for 1, when I went to pick it up the guy had got me two, must be on commission). Another point is I have had an account with them for some years.

Could be he is spending a bit of time out of network coverage. I have just been in that situation and my phone reported SIM Inactive (1-2-Call). I had to shut it down and restart it. Coverage is not 100%

The visa extension will be cancelled if you leave the country without an exit/re-entry permit. I always put a multiple straight in there, sorted.

Note Joe's reply on this one. A lot of people think that obtaining the retiremeent extension includes the 90 day reporting....no, it is separate. 90 days from entry or last reporting date.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld line. Yes I am interested, tell you what, I'll come round to your place later to discuss buying something. What time do you eat?

Rubbish Joe, got mine easy peasy, don't work here, each with 200k limit on them.

Yes, quite pleasing to see, amidst all the depressing things about the UK.

Well not every tourist has a Thai bank account to transfer into.

French run so food of a good standard. Nice pool and surrounding area. I don't think the location is so bad, pretty close to 2nd rd if you walk through The Avenue, although I would not like to stagger down soi 15 from Buakhao in the early hours.
