Just posted this in the trip reports section.You on the Thai Visa mailing list too I guess.

You had a separate room that you used to take a bath..... spoiled rotten?My ma used to take a big tin bath down and set it up on the kitchen floor, can't remember where the damned thing was when not in use, must have been in the back yard next to the coal shed, ex air-raid shelter. And I have come across 'hot tubs' in basements, which would be inside the main house area, that was USA too. Cold northern areas. (well cold in winter). Actually the tub for ma to do the washing in was a dolly tub. That isn't ma by the way, it's the TGF. She's different.

Why pay someone else's mortgage. You could be talking 1/4 million baht/year rent that could be benefitting from an increase in value. A single guy or an unmarried couple, yeah, start off renting, but OP has been married 5 years. I am inclined to think prices will boom in Pattaya ($ terms)in the next decade (politics aside), condos have even been given a boost with Russians in the market.

Have you considered first how you will go about the 'ownership'? It can all be in wife's name. Land in wife's name with a 30yr lease to you. All owned in a shell company name. Usufruct. This will impact on extras/taxes etc.

Oh FFS BigD, you stay in the shitiest place in town and now are suggesting only the best will do regarding a motorcycle safety helmet. Of all the BMs I think you have the least to worry about when protecting your head!

Only if your 'partner' is also a member of the Expats Club. It is not surprising you do not know this as the club has only recently moved there, and this privilege offered.

Generally the CC issuers will not cover you if the card gets lost and/or misused after you had forwarded it via mail. IE they tell you not to do it. I would not trust regular Thai mail, but might go along with FedEx/DHL etc. I manage to avoid the issue a few ways. Get local credit cards. Use your USA ones near-never, I find I only need them to buy my airticket. I do the odd trip home and prior, I will check all my UK cards and see if any are due to expire, and request a new one to be issued. Fortunately I do have a mailing address in the UK where they can be received.

Nope, I would call it a large bath or jacuzzi. A tub is what ma washed the clothes in.

Any Given Sunday

Ater we burn the coal we get to keep the Ashes.

Shutter Island.

A flight from Tokyo at 21.25, normal route for USA guys.

Including pilot and crew?

So far it looks positive... 29.6 for a transfer today.

This is at your price limit. And this But to be honest you might need to spend more, unless you a prepared to live well out of town.

Mississippi Burning.

If you are a member of the Pattaya Expats Club (600 baht for lifetime membership), you can use the facilities at the Mercure Hotel, which is really nice. I believe it includes pool and gymnasium.

I suppose that is the small bottles? Great promo, Leo quite tolerable for those of us who seem unable to handle Chang.

No Way Out

From the Thai website... Hong Kong... For an Infant (up to 2 years of age), the fare for international and domestic flights is 10% of the full fare; the infant cannot occupy a seat. For a Child (2-12 years of age), the fare for a seat on a domestic flight is 50% of the full fare. The Child fare for international flights is 50% or 67% of the full fare, depending on the country of origin and destination.
