Kev

Enjoy your reports each month and need my December fix please

Anyone have a link to information about these new visa rules please?

Sorry to laugh but loved the last bit: "Being a smart arse that she is, popped the key back into place and then handed them to me without saying a word." Anyway at least you have got back safe and sound albeit at a bit of expense. By the way how much did the ride from hell cost out of interest?

Retirement is a fair way away for me but at the moment I favour Hua Hin or Korat but having said that next year on holidays intend to check out Chang Mai. Ideally I want a hobby when retired otherwise I would drink myself to death and even if there is a large river near by where I can launch my boat (not a massive boat just something comfty to go fishing or a cruise up/down river) in then I would be happy. Also some farng things to do as well is a benefit.

and don't forget weather whether wether!!!

Nice car and good price, don't think you will take long to sell it.

Looks good to me and a good price, always liked Hua Hin myself but just a tad too early for me to retire yet :-) Good luck with the sale.

Sorry will give a miss $655K Oz dollars I can buy a manision...thanks for the info though.

So what is the price of this exclusive style home?? Hate to say but looks pretty oridinary to me.

Sorry to do a quick hijack of the thread. Actually in Feb this year I thought it was 30 days - I started counting the next day after arrival as 1st but no if you arrive 11PM at night, that day is counted as one. Anyway when we got to airport to come home (wife was travelling on Aussie passport - Thai passport has maiden name in it) we were stopped and pulled aside, I though oh shite!!! Tooks us to a desk put a stamp in our passport and off we went no fine or anything. Mind you don't know what the stamp means, anyone know?

I have been to these markets and they are huge but the Op is right that they are bloody hot and packed with people to the max. BTW excellent photos firth.

Had a problem with HMA Pro where by when logging off HMA, my internet connection would basically no longer work, emails, IE or Firefox. After I deleted HMA everything was back to nromal again.

got a web address or something besides agoda?

Has that got heating in it, if so first time I have seen in a car in Thailand.

Started watching it at work till just past the 3 minute mark...had to stop...will watch the rest at home...seems bloody funny.

Well good luck Mr Fiend after reading this three pages of thread fuck dribble me thinks you will need it.

Anyone stayed at the Billabong lately and can give an updated review?

Roo Bar walking street if it is still there.

Have been here quite a few times myself while on holidays over the years and not a bad report so far, good food and good service.

Shite MM in all your years there you have never to Macro! Find that bloody hard to believe.

get it right mate, a whinging Aussie! Don't class us in the same breed you Yankee!!

Not sure about Pattaya but last trip (Feb this year) I bought myself a decent mountain bike (21 speed, disc brakes, front shockies) large solid frame (I'm 195 cm tall) for 6,300 bahts from a small Thai bike shop in Chaiyaphum. I could have bought a dual shock one for about the same price but he advised I would be a bit heavy for the dual shock. Yes I know it is not Pattaya but I'm sure there are Thai bike shops in Pattaya as well and I was just trying to indicate the price of a decent mountain bike to the OP. In comparision at home in Oz I ride a Giant Boulder mountain bike and the one I bought in Thailand is about on a par with the Giant.

Anyone with a signature that advertises a cheap Kalgoorlie hotel in bloody Kambalda....miles away...seriously needs to be questioned....especially with one post to your name.

40 inch waist considered slim, shite sinback how tall are you?

No offence here but did you give Mr T a ring and ask him what the F was going on? Myself I have not used Mr t except on my first trip over way back in 2000, a friend of mine organised it and yep no show....first time I was a bit worried but no problem in the end, got to paradise eventually. Walked down there the next day and got our refund for the no show.
