Thanx for the info guys,6th of dec. it is then.

I entered Thailand on 8th of Sept.on the last of my O visa.Which meant my 90 days was up on the 6th Dec.Ihave since obtained a retirement extension commencing 6th of Dec. MY question is,when do i do my first vist to immigration to report my place of residence.Is it 90 days after coming into Thailand or 90 days after the start of my retirement extension?

Thanx for the replies,some good info.

Question about the white baht buses that travel on Sukhumvit Pattaya.How far north and south do they go and what are the charges,any other info welcome too.Thanx.

Yes it helps,thanx very much.

Hi there, I just need a little info you may be able to help with.As i remember you show Eng premier league footy. Can you tell me who is the best tv company broacasting the footy.I used to have True Vision but have heard they have lost the rights. Be great if you could help....Thanx.

I will be sure to give this a try in about 6 weeks time,thank you very much and welcome.

Allegedly,yes thats the word haha,they are leaving things late.Only about 2 mnths to kick off. Maybe ill leave my options open until i arrive early Sept.and ask a few bar owners what the best option is.

Yes im sure the bars will have it all sorted,but which tv company is going to be supplying them?

Ive just had some info back from the owner of where i rent a condo.I usually have satelite tv during my stay,but seeing as True have lost the rights to show English football and CTH have taken over.I had asked him to do a little research.He informs me that CTH is not available in Pattaya but they have told him the football will be available on Sophon cable. Does anyone have any more details on this subject. Thanx,Steve

I think i have a better one for you,though i havent tried the one you suggest yet. I thoroughly recommend Maleez,its on Buakhow just 20 yrds south of the Lengkee-Diana junction.It only sells chicken curries but they are very tasty with a thick consistency. All the curries are priced at 110B and the Thai rice is 15B. Try it mate i think you will like.

Was chatting to a Canadian guy by the pool.He comes for 7 mnths but thinks he can only get tourist visas in Canada. Are there any consulates in Canada that issue O Visas? Thanx.

NaRoy's,are you sure you dont mean NeeRoy's? The place sells pretty good curries.

We will absolutely be aware,after you have named and shamed.

Ask for Ralf,the owner.He is usually around after 2 pm or so. Maybe see you in Oct.

I stay at this place 6 mnths each year....http://www.maxxcentral.com/index.html I use one of their studios,which i find more than adequate as you will see there are 1 bedroom also.

Sounds like a good price,that however isnt the full story. Most airlines have different seat pitches in business class,ranging from a slightly wider seat and more legroom,to full lie flat type. China airlines vary from 50 to 62 inch pitch,while Etihad are mostly 88 inch pitch.As we all know prices generally depend on space taken.So when a price is quoted check what they are really offering you. Check out all airlines at Seatguru.com.

Areca is a good choice. There is a Suomi Hotel and center in Jomtien,might come in handy if you need any help whilst on holiday.

Im sure if you like exercising and beach wollowing you will be fine,if you get bored stop by one of the many travel agents and book a few day trips. Im nore concerned that you have booked the right hotel.

Cool ill be giving it a try in Oct.If im right about the location its not too far from my apartment. The location looks to me like its on the soi with the little shoe repair shop on the corner with soi buakhow?

This is a very good idea,ive often thought that these kind of eateries were missing a trick. Im sure there are many more like me who like to see some sort of menu in English.

Surely the very cheapest way is to get a bus from Pattaya to Morchit bus station DM is only a couple of miles from there.Mr T quoted 1400B from Patts to Morchit.

Forget about staying in a guesthouse,book into J&P Court for your whole stay.I think its still 750 B a day.Opey de place too for similar money.Both have 24 hour reception staff.

Never tried it,when i first arrived i looked at the menu and found everything well overpriced. As for moto taxi,some nights on my way out i was shouted if i wanted one but i never use them.If there arent any just outside a short walk to 3rd road and you will find. I am a bit mystified though,its partly because i exchanged posts with you last year that i ended up giving Maxx Condo a try.At the time you were spending 2 mnths there.

OK here are my tips for avoiding mozzie bites. 1..Always wear repelent when out at night.I use OFF which i get from Foodland.Bright orange red can. 2..Get a mozzie zapper for in your room,about 90B in BigC. 3..Put a cup or small glass over the shower drain and spray with repelent,Sometimes when i check the next day have caught 12 or more stuck where i sprayed.Also make sure any plug is stoppered. There have been stories regarding vitamin B,and if you search online the results vary massively.
