none of the above - that was Boris Becker's nick name!

TIT ???
This Is Thailand....
possibly a ripoff of the sign at Liverpool football club...."This is Anfield"
You can also replace TiT with 'SOFT' - So <deleted> Thai

I think it is still a bit early for the jelly fish - not that there aren't any - but typically they start to appear in high numbers around September/October.

Same experience.
I think our daughter was 3 - the same time she started kindergarten. Full sentences - but not all the words from the same language.
It took her a while to realize that not everybody can understand two languanges.

'Ari Tennis' at Sukhumvit Soi 26.

Difficult to say without knowing the volume - but it sounds quite reasonable if it includes packing, transport and unpacking.
Been here 10 years+ and moved house several times - and always ended up paying a lot more than that.

One question for all the Germans on this forum,
According to the Thai English language newspaper we can not quote, Kasit has said that "The German government was pressured by one of its coalition parties from the southern part of [Germany]" to allow Thaksin to enter the country.
Anybody know which coalition party they are referring to?
I do not know if it is true what Kasit is saying, but the only southern coalition partner is the CSU (Christlich Soziale Union) from Bavaria.
Which is also the home of the BND (secret service)......

I think that there is more behind this than meets the eyes - I just don't know what it is....
Some 4-6 weeks ago there was an article in a German newspaper claiming that Mr. T was sighted in Munich for a secret meeting with the (assumed) owner of the 737 - and that was when he was still banned from entering the country due to an illegally obtained visa.
The newspaper strongly suggested that the German secret service (BND) somehow helped him to by-pass the passport control.

I am missing some thing here The article stated
"The initiative was expected to kick off at the Tha Phrachan area and would stretch over an area of 77 kilometers."
Isn't 77 kilometers kind of a long bridge?
Now if it was to really cover 77 kilometers in Bangkok how would they be able to do that with out And again I quote.
"The scheme ensures that no residences or shops will be expropriated and the bridge will not affect ferry operation."
Am I missing some thing or is this just the normal half witted reporting of the Nation?
The way I read it, the 77 km refer to the 'hanging garden project' - not the skywalk.

Candy cigarettes aren't that old I can remember buying them about 20 years ago
They are - you could also buy them 50 years ago.

Their business class is okay - only 12 seats or so on the A330 - but 'old style' seats. Service and especially the food is quite good.
THB 66k is a very good deal - but be aware that there will most definitely be no business class on the Germany-UK flight.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU KNOW THE
BIBLE EVEN A LITTLE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A
CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST.
KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE
FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY
HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT
IN.
1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS, GOD GOT TIRED OF
CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF.
2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN
OF ARK. NOAH BUILT AN ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS.
3. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF FIRE
DURING THE NIGHT.
4. THE JEWS WERE A PROUD PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY THEY HAD
TROUBLE WITH UNSYMPATHETIC GENITALS.
5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIMSELF BE LED ASTRAY BY A JEZEBEL
LIKE DELILAH.
6. SAMSON SLAYED THE PHILISTINES WITH THE AXE OF THE APOSTLES.
7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED
BREAD WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS.
8. THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT. AFTERWARDS, MOSES
WENT UP TO MOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENT WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE.
10. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT ADULTERY.
11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHED CANADA . THEN JOSHUA LED THE
HEBREWS IN THE BATTLE OF GERITOL.
12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS SON TO
STAND STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM.
13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE
FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES.
14. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVID'S SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700 PORCUPINES.
15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE MAGNA CARTA.
16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED THEY FOUND
JESUS IN THE MANAGER.
17. JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE CONTRAPTION.
18. ST. JOHN , THE BLACKSMITH, DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD.
19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO OTHERS
BEFORE THEY DO ONE TO YOU. HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY
SWEAT ALONE.
20. IT WAS A MIRICLE WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND MANAGED TO GET
THE TOMBSTONE OFF THE ENTRANCE.
21. THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE LORD WERE CALLED THE 12 DECIBELS.
22. THE EPISTELS WERE THE WIVES OF THE APOSTLES.
23. ONE OF THE OPPOSSUMS WAS ST. MATTHEW, WHO WAS ALSO A TAXIMAN. HE
IS ALSO THE PATRON SAINT OF ACCOUNTANTS.
24. ST. PAUL CAVORTED TO CHRISTIANITY. HE PREACHED HOLY ACRIMONY WHICH
IS ANOTHER NAME FOR MARRAIGE.
25. CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE. THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY

I much prefer the Sirocco - walking down the stairs to the restaurant is just a stunning experience and the whole place has a more open feeling to it as compared to the Vertigo which I find is too dark.
Food at Sirocco is okay but expect to pay THB 2,500 or so per head without drinks.

Nothing in it about any specific arrest.
The article refers to the recent seminar held by the immigration department (there was a thread on TV last week or so) and just says that playing music for money is work - and to do so you need a work permit.
-
Great news! Am I understanding correctly that the store will open in 5 months from now?

Could somebody tell me why the 800,000 baht required to be in a Thai Bank Account for the purposes of securing a Retirement Visa could not be equally achieved by significant sums invested in the SET (Stock Exchange of Thailand)?
If your significant investment is THB 10 Mio or more you can also apply for an investment visa.

We go to Chesa on a regular basis and always enjoy the food - definitely one of our favourite Western restaurants. Good service and both the Swiss owners are very nice guys.
Never tried the fondue but pretty sure that you will not be disappointed as this probably is their signature dish.
Enjoy!

Well - what can I say - tried it again and iBanking is working for me...
-
Still down........
Had problems earlier but iBanking is working fine now.

What a tragedy! Way too young for such a legend to leave us.
A true gentleman and inspirational ambassador of the game. He will be thoroughly missed.
RIP Seve

A doctor was addressing a large audience in Oxford...
"The material we put into our stomachs should have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is full of steroids and dye. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High trans fat diets can be disastrous and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But, there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all to the male population and most of us have, or will eat it.
Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"
After several seconds of quiet, a 70-year-old man in the front row raised
his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake?"

Agree - we used them - worked like a charm - no complaints.
It is however also possible to simply buy vouchers which entitle you to use the CIP immigration service and you can then use the diplomatic or air crew counter immigration desks - both coming in and leaving.
OK, I will bite. Where can you buy these vouchers?
FYI, the CIP 'Fast-Track' channels are next to the air-crew and diplo channels but they are separate for security reasons.
You can buy these vouchers from the same people - just call the contact number they have on their website - you can have them delivered to your home.

I've used it twice to my complete satisfaction.
Arrival : The 10-15 minutes depend on where your arrival gate is (I'm a slow walker) and how quickly your baggage arrives, but immigration is a breeze, and yes I was met at the arrival gate.
Departure : They even checked me in, escorted through immigration in less than 15 minutes.
Hope to have helped

what is CIP? seen it everywhere but no idea
Apparently CIP stands for Common Important People
- run by the Miracle Group who also operate several lounges as well as a hotel inside the terminal. -

Yes, it does - I especially like the smoking permit in the 'hip-hop' section - although not really my kind of music.
What kind of music are they playing in the other section?
