Re: Immigration warns of fake ‘fast-track service’

Probably needed to know who was offering the service - didn't want to step on any toes.

Re: News of the Weird - this just in!

This should most probably be in the main news section, but I find it VERY weird that a country that has a corrupt police force that rarely goes out in the sunshine, and evening work seems primarily to be toll collection has actually found the resources to create a special monkey unit. Of course it h...

Re: Thailand fuel/pump prices

Yes, a crazy situation. They've raised minimum wage in some provinces to 400฿/day, but the poor Thais will receive in one hand but see it snatched away, with interest from the other.

It will greatly degrade living condition for many Thais.

Immigration warns of fake ‘fast-track service’

I think many have wished for this, but it looks like its a case of 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'. The Immigration Bureau has warned tourists not to fall victim to online advertisements that offer fast-track immigration service for 2,900 baht per flight at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mu...

Re: Thailand fuel/pump prices

This will hurt a lot/get the truck drivers protesting again. Many things will have to increase in price, pushing inflation through the roof.

Re: Travel: Asia & Further Afield

I often did one way hires, but never any discount. However, I often received some top end brand new super motors, which I felt I was ferrying to the local agents.

Likewise, some of the one way hires to airports were often 6 month old models with 30K on the clock going for disposal.

Re: Travel: Asia & Further Afield

1990 to 2012, I probably had more hire cars than the rest of the forum combined - never heard of that one, and we used all of the top companies e.g. Avis, Budget, Hertz, etc., etc.

Re: Khao Tao Lake

Amazing Thailand. Not for the first time on this carbuncle, it seems somebody has cocked up big time. I think it was caller referring to the very grand entrance. They are demolishing it!!! They have a very small pneumatic drill up there removing the concrete which used to sit on the wired structure ...
