I thought I had it in Korea....

Maybe this one, which doesn't really matter! Pinned Topic And Another This is locked Don't see any locked current topics.......

You want a transformer, not an invertor. An iron doesn't need any 'protection'. Buy a new iron from BigC...... as you say most units will not be big enough for an iron.

Yes cheaper from that end, boy did I get it wrong making LOS my starting point.

It isn't far, about 2-4 km depending how far down you go. Getting to and from the real action (central Pattaya) can be a bit of a chore. Traffic is heavy most of the time. Rent, as you say, for a little 2 bedroom bungalow can be from 10000 up pcm. I was paying 15k for a nicely and fully furnished place.

Sounds like you have to wait, quite a lot! My stopovers are 2 and 2.5 hours in Doha and I'll take the A330!

If you know Barry Kenyon has nothing to do with local Tax authority perhaps you know where the Thai tax office is to get this letter. Barry, who hangs around Immigration, might be able to supply you with the information you need.I was also asked for a similar letter, it is the UK government playing police for other country's tax collection. I dropped the idea and looked elsewhere. I agree with the 'Pandoras Box' fear above. Also being retired in Thailand does not mean you are not liable for tax here.

Those are actually coconut trees......

But there are certainly plenty of dogs over there. In fact that is why I moved away.Generally they are of the little yappy baby substitute variety........ But I once had a German Shepherd opposite, I would have gladly shot it dead many times had I a gun! I feel sorry for the farang vatiety of dogs as they seem to get a lot of problems with the climate. Anyhow, I know a house available for rent on the darkside and will PM you a telephone number if you want it, I would be chuffed to death to have someone with an alsation move next to the dopey cow with the little noisy shit-soo!

Why a Frenchman of course!

Healthy it isn't, but I think a good old breakfast is a good way to wake up after a heavy night, and it will see you through until tea time. Shame to have a go at an English tradition, and as the French say, to eat well in England, you would have to eat breakfast 3 times a day.

Link edited, excuse my error.For dentists, I don't know of an online directory, although a google should pull up the bigger ones with web pages. I think going with recommendations of BMs is best.

Then promptly forgot it? As I said, use the Pattaya Maps link, post the location and I am sure a BM can swing by and take a look. He may not even still be there....... As for recommending dentists, I used the 'art of smile'.... which is located on 2nd Rd near soi 6/1 and Tropical Berts. The dentist that treated me has moved on though.

Check with her how long they will take to be fabricated. In Los it can be 5-7 days, any longer than that might not fit in with the flights, warranting a pricey ticket change.

Is there a reason for this specific dentist? I think if you just use a recommended one, the likelihood is you could be attended to as a walk-in, there and then!

Can't see a dentist at the beach rd end of soi 4 or 5 If you could post a link using this utility, perhaps I could take a look when passing. Pattaya Photo Guide

Just a thread or two down..... 1st November. UK Passenger Duty

Yes, pies and pasties and fish and chips.Land at swampy and back on the Thai food. I don't eat pizza these days, overpriced cheese on toast for those challenged by cutlery.

Didn't they show you samples of each type?I doubt they are of metallic appearance, like the guy Jaws from the bond film. Had one done for about 8000 a year back and it looked like porcelain.

Further, the company offering a policy that sounded like yours (AA maxicare) was named LMG.

Be cautious...... An acquaintance is undergoing some painful and unpleasant dental work now due to an implant that didn't take due to insufficient underlying bone or a poor bond. Some practitioners don't think past the money they are making.

Yes it is busy. Hotels are well booked up, well priced up and often include an obligatory gala dinner for NYE.It is celebrated in a very big way with spectacular fireworks and quite wild, much more so than an average evening in August! You will enjoy yourself but book early.

Yes, dare we hope MU will not dominate this season? Don't hold your breath though eh, they often start a bit sloppy and seem to be lacking the scoring finish.... they even missed Ronaldo for the penalty! Spurs at the top.....

Seems dumb doesn't it. Certainly won't do British Airways any favours. I didn't need any incentive to avoid Heathrow and go via Amsterdam... but having the price of going via the Middle East increase is bad.

I don't smoke but Heathrow does that to me anyhow!
