Re: Seeking engineers, can you help?

Well, I'm "reliably" informed that my aircraft kit will be shipped from the western U.S.on the 5th May, so I'm guessing it will arrive in the LOS around mid to Late June. If anyone's interested in sinking their teeth into what will almost certainly be a once in a lifetime experience, you k...

Re: What goes around, comes around.

I don't know that it was a forum member, I just figured it was the best way of reaching the largest number of people, one of whom would be the scumbag who, by driving off without accepting responsibility for their actions, saved themselves a massive 800 baht repair bill. No, it's not tongue in cheek...

What goes around, comes around.

Right, one of you scumbags reversed into my Yamaha yesterday at the "Tesco Lotus" convenience store in Hin Lek Fai at 3:30 p.m. Fortunately, my wife, who was in charge of it at the time, was able to get home-no thanks to you-and the cctv footage shows a small, white hatchback reversing int...

Hotels, b&b's etc. in Laos and Cambodia

Does anyone know the state of play re overnight accommodation in small town Laos and Cambodia? Obviously there'll be a wide choice in the bigger towns and cities, but what's the choice/price range/standard like in places such as Phou Khoun, between Vientiane and Luang Prabang, or Phonsavan or Ban La...

Credit where it's due - picture framer on soi 88

I'm not sure which category to put this in but, here goes. Expats seem to love 2 things. drinking and moaning. I admit, I do my fair share of the former, but I've always subscribed to the theory that you only earn the right to moan at lousy service, if you're willing to praise good service. I know s...

Re: The Journey to a Yellow Book

I reduced my costs by letting my wife do all the work, keeping my stupid falang face out of there as much as possible, only speaking when spoken to, and paying up what she told me, when she told me. Total time-about 4 months, total cost-including fuel for 2 trips to BKK, hotel(s) in BKK, about 3,500...

Re: The Journey to a Yellow Book

I got my yellow book last Friday-it took a LOT longer than BB but cost a lot less-I'm curious about the I.D. card BB. My wife said I couldn't get one because I'm not Thai. I thanked her for noticing, and then told her of your case. She went to the market and, well, I haven't seen her since. No I'm k...

Re: Vietnam visa

Interesting!!!!! I'm guessing that it's a trial period to see if the filthy running dog, capitalist pigs-that's you and me-can be trusted not to corrupt the little darlings!! I should add that I'm planning/hoping to take in Vietnam as part of a motorcycle trip including Laos and Cambodia, and I know...

Vietnam visa

I'm not sure if I'm hallucinating or not but, I just got off the Vietnamese Embassy, Bangkok website, (I think/hope it was the right site), and apparently U.K.citizens-among many others-are exempt from visa requirements. The length of stay varies-in my/our case it's 15 days, and for our little Thai ...

carryboy

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a 'Carryboy' fitted to my truck. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the name-which included me until about a month ago-it's the brand name of the canopy seen on the back of a lot of the pick-up trucks seen in Thailand. My Thai wife-whose English is, shall we s...

Re: GPS upgrade

You'll need to own the vehicle outright-no finance. Go to the office(Dept of Transport or whatever the hell they're called), in Pranburi, at the 2nd set of lights on the right if you're heading South, opposite the Huge Tesco Lotus sign. Tell them you want an International Transport Permit, and show ...
