  1. I used to have a Seiko I bought for $100 in Dubai duty free. However it was gold coloured with a matching bracelet and looked much more expensive from a distance. I stopped wearing it in Bangkok for exactly the same reasons.
  2. I guess the ladies are far too cute to follow the recommendation to wear full face helmets.
  3. His office closed during the pandemic as business collapsed. However there are others who usually operate near the major embassies. They are not fully fledged lawyers but do offer supporting services for passport applications, visas and the like. You have to shop around to find them. Sorry I can't be of more help here.
  4. It can be a problem finding someone to sign it since most Thais do not understand what it is about and are reluctant (as most would be) to sign something they do not understand. My doctor is kind enough to sign mine. Previously I used a notary in Bangkok who charged B500.
  5. And Conoco (Jet), and Petronas , and Mobil. It's not about higher costs. It's about Thai business practices that foreigners cannot replicate.
  6. I need to renew my motor tax in the next week or so. Usually I go to the office near Wat Rai King. Does anyone know if there are any restrictions in force there or is it business as usual?
  7. Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately some of the suggested hotels are already closed (e.g. The Landmark, The Park Hotel) but I'll keep all the ideas for future reference. It really is a moving target at the moment. The ibis in Soi Nana is still open and I am going to give that a try first. Thanks to all of you for your helpful advice.
  8. It's Nana City Inn/Hotel that's shutting up. They changed the name a couple of years ago but you can still find the old name on the net.
  9. The hotel in Soi Nana that I usually stay in is closing at the end of this month. I need to find a new one in the vicinity, 3-star is good enough but it must have car parking for guests. This used to be quite easy to do but so many hotels are now closed that it's getting to be a problem. Has anybody got any recommendations?
  10. Thanks to all for the helpful comments. As suggested I've decided to park somewhere in the vicinity and taxi/public transport the last stage.
  11. I have a vaccination appointment at Bangsue Central next week and, since I don't live in Bangkok, I was thinking of driving in and using the parking at the station. Has anyone used the parking recently and have any comments? I don't want to drive there and find it's unusable or full or anything like that.
