  1. when I first came to the LoS my friend and I had all sorts of problems getting them in BKK, never in Patts tho.
  2. TBH, it took me about as long as it does to go thru customs with an over inquisitive inspector.
  3. Mama's cafe on soi 6? can't say that rings a bell.
  4. Do you get an exit stamp leaving at a land crossing? Maybe that's one way to get around an overstay?
  5. I'm not one to believe in luck etc but I still don't kill spiders unless the girls insist.
  6. No the floating flower arrangements. There were hundreds even thousands of them. There were fireworks sure, but not lots imo.
  7. Wonder how much was due to the flooding, flip flops etc. Most of the stuff I saw the Thais using was biodegradable floating ornaments.
  8. do you go thru Thai customs leaving the LoS at a land crossing?
  9. they had a few desks dedicated to overstay fines so I'm sure it's a very common thing.
  10. Kinda wondering that myself. I think they'll let it pass as it wasn't egregious.
  11. I arrived from Cambodia on Oct 30th and left Nov 30th which turns out to be 32 days. I was fined at the airport 1000 baht.
  12. Just arrived home via United and I must say they haven't a clue. Lets ignore the facts that they are using older aircraft and tend to be the cheapest. Why do they show a film and then a tv show and then another film (no individual IFE) and when we finally land after 11 hours the last film was only half finished. I was actually interested in the film (Timothy Green) and cant understand why they didn't put a regular tv show at the end rather than cut off a 2 hour film half way thru. They did the same on the way to Tokyo as well. Why do they describe a direct flight (not to be confused w
  13. My last trip on United I was awoken from a deep sleep by a geriatric flying waitress who somehow survived cutback after cutback and layoff after layoff. Some just don't realize even after decades of flying that sleeping is the best way to pass time on a flight as I have no interest in their reheated prison leftovers. Still, I wont shell out the hundreds more that the better airlines charge for the slightly better experience.
  14. I swear one guy was just filling up bike after bike without resetting the pump at this place. He just said 100 baht or whatever. RDS is a pretty big company. An email to Holland might get noticed.
  15. add to that the deductible and the premiums and it makes getting extra insurance on a twist and go kinda pointless imo.
  16. Codeine can block you up which may not be a good thing as your system wants to get rid of bad shit. I hate codeine personally. One another note, one of "my girls" is also sick so it's not just a fallang thing that's going around.
  17. Poolhustler would be a good guy to ask. I rent from him but have never inquired as to extra insurance myself. I only rent cheaper bikes that have a replacement value of
  18. Electricity demand is always highest with everyone using aircon rather than heating with it. 'The states' is rather vague as it's a pretty big country. Where I grew up we never even had aircon and where I live now sometimes we have heat on in the morning and aircon on in the afternoon.
  19. I tried a steak at the Golf club recently and it was very, very good . The petite fillet was huge and I couldn't finish it. It was more like a small roast. Still can't touch the steaks I've had at the Beefeater tho.
