V UK, most toiletries especially deodorants, decant quality Cheddar Cheese (just crap here & expensive) Quality Wine, Cider - IMO beer is about same price - no way is it cheaper unless you live in London Pomegranate, quality lettuce, oranges, apples. some Veg way dearer. Butter/Spread. Vimto, good cordial... Robinsons imported not the foreign rubbish its Rank to the British palate pmsl rest is covered... Main advatge - why would you want to live in a $ hit Hole like the UK? its a no brainer...

I Wager a 'Rushing Russian' been a few on bikes & cars heading North on that road between Patong - Kamala over cooking things last few mths, if its the Big rocks on Kamala side you can hardly miss them, obvs this guy didn't

Ditto, worked in UK Rail Industry 30+ years delivered Fire Safety Training, same as above all extinguishers labelled up dated of test/Inspection - & who by (our own or outside Co) with a Seal tag intact. We had our own Service Centre to Test/Re-fill/Re-Cert and yes old out of date ones some we would use for Demo/Practical traning. Dry Powder always give a Good shake before use lol...

Does appear the suitcase wheels got caught up and damaged the Travellator End Guard Combs causing a failure of the end step support bolt, the poor lady's foot/leg then being fed into the mechanism. As someone mentioned luggage/cases should be behind the user on Travellators in case of any issues Re catching/getting caught up which could occur with any moving parts what-ever safe guards are in place. People ultimately need to take care of themselves when using anything, things like using mobile phones, hand held gadgets, ear buds/head phones etc are all Risk raisers. AOT not at fault IMO, but have said they will assist the lady (I am not saying she was on a phone or anthing else just pointing out what lots of people do in everyday life that strikes me as stupid)

Wow is this still doing the rounds... Who cares? Wear what you want, how you want, when you want - its LOS No one really gives a Hoot and thats great

Of course hooker is an Americanism for a Prostitute, apparently named after one 'General Hooker' in the American Civil War, who could always be found enjoying himself in 'Houses of ill-repute' Cricket - As an Englishman I never got it? still don't, as said: Paint, Dry, Boring...

I live in Patong, all the Russians who were living near me (and they were all pleasant nice people BTW) have all just disappeared about six or seven weeks ago. There was about five couples and two single lads all in the 21-35 age group over a fortnight they all slipped away...? I know a couple of the lads not long before this had done a border bounce down to Satun so they must have had valid stay?? IMO there is no way it is as busy as it was two months ago - Bangla etc/ West Coast beaches are deffo not as busy so dont know where all this influx are going Tat? 555

Whenever Iv had cause to put my finger into a greasy box whether something coated in the Good O'l Colonels blend of 11 secret herbs & spices or a willing lady who was up for some Jiggery/Pokery there was never a 'mis-communication' LOS

yes but the buses are not much use if the stops are no where near your room hence why they are not a main method by most who cant be bothered Re; Chipbutty - Dunno it was a US friend on why home, av not heard anything about issues dropping off lately at Phuky...

If he has done as reported then he is a Bell End however its very rare someone starts smashing windows and or doors of houses at random - more to this story than meets the eye me 'thinks Having as a 'Brit' spent many a good time (November Carnival anyone?) in Benny can safely report have never seen anyone smashing up houses etc... just a good time normally involving friendly Yorkshire ladies (what happens in Benny -Stays in Benny pmsl) but anyroad lets not let that get in the way of a good bit of Brit Bashing... Rule Britannia!! 555

Patong to airport by Bolt 450 baht... ystday Cheapest Taxi quote was 800b 555

Ditto; reports said gunman pulled up along side - so why walk around to shoot through Windshield? Would of thought easier to shoot through drivers side window (closer range more chance of hitting target) And Kazak guy they've collared on his way out looks a bigger frame than the dude who was on the bike in CCTV still. Well there goes the neighbourhood... Bang Tou'ski

Because he was wearing a Crash Helmet 555

And travelling through at least three international boarders on a fake Passport - yeah he deffo an innocent misunderstood man who didnt mean to squeeze the life out a man on hol with his family who asked him to turn the noise down a bit when he was drunk and being a knob... P O S

I do exactly as Dr Jack, after taking his sound advice few months back; Fixed Deposit a/c Kasikorn Bank , I just leave 800k in it then deposit 1k when req then update book (just had my 12 mth extension through in Phuket -All Good)

I use (convert) all my docs to jpegs on Thai visa online site for uploads - seems pdfs may cause issues on some Govt sites

They should cut their Jacobs off! That would teach them ooh' hang on a minute...?

Easy; Patts, Pa-Tong, Nana Plaza BKK, yep Culture - Welcome Welcome...

reeducation? He needs the crap kicking out of him, forced to eat dog $ h it then beating to a Pulp with, now lets see? A Chair, a Fan (intresting?) oh & a Mop - then Shoot the Ba $tard for good measure!

as JayClay said, write out an explanation for Q9 as you posted, sign & date it then upload it - as long as they have a response you will prob find it all goes well, I last year had to upload similar for a SETV (some of the Qs related to METV only) so for these uploaded written statement Non-applicable for SETV (my visa was granted no probs, this was in UK via London embassy a year ago) Good Luck

Well, the Mrs ask me nip out to Corner Shop & get some sausages... bumped into a couple of mates, went for a few pints and...

Does make one wonder why UK is overflowing with Illegal immigration problems (maybe US too) maybe get the Thai IB's people on the case they could sort it all out without problems of 'No Passport' (UK) Walls (USA) Ahh just remembered why I like LOS, no Woke issues, easy tickets for freebies

They are ok, as posted they will extend their Visa & return within the 90 day limit, I used to travel mainly like this from Manchester to Phuket with Etihad a couple times per yr, odd time was asked by Etihad just explained will be doing 30 day extension in country never had a problem - never with this. There was no issue with Thai E-visa online application for a single entry TV

May have been 'British Nationals' they fit the MO, up to no good... this is how British MSM report cretins that look like these two deffo not Thais as they dont steal

Just insured a bike last week above 250cc, mandatory Big Bike Insurance (3rd party only) was 845baht, ok I asked for Cover options at the bike Test/Tax place as wanted fully comp for me & my new bike, they explained they have a Bronze, Silver & Gold Cover Policies for additional protection/cover. Was 2499baht for the Gold Big Bike Policy (250cc +) Fully Comp Policy with Hospital coverage including In-Patient. Would have thought an Ex-Pat would make sure they have right amount of coverage... can understand Tourists overlooking these things or running the risk... Anyway Good luck to him but yeah - using my money to cover myself dont expect others to pay for me
