Re: Toyota Service
I worry more about how good a service my car or truck is getting hence driving to Toyota Cha am (North of the railway line) after less than impressive maintenance by Toyota Hua Hin. Wifi, noodles and TV etc still available there too though.

Re: Coffee in Hua Hin
Getting back to the topic rather than childish jibes. When I get back in a few months I will have to try the place out and am sure if it entails a wander around the lower level it will not spoil the visit. If I like the coffee they brew then more visits will be in order. Ultimately is it personal ch...

Re: Scooter Insurance
Explains why the phrase 'the driver(rider) fled the scene' is used a lot here. I would thoroughly recommend AA insurance as not only are they competitive they are also good and look after customers. A friend who lives in Chiang Mai uses them for his big bike which indicates how competitive they are.

Re: Hi There to HH
Don't get put off by lots of views and few responses. There is a huge amount of information on the forum and specific questions will usually get a sensible response. It is the low season at the moment and not only tourists but many of the more affluent retired community are in Europe for the summer....

Re: How to check your NI contributions & Pension entitlement in the UK
After a few attempts I managed to get a figure and with a couple more years class 2 contributions I can get the full pension. Only thing is it did not make me feel better as it confirmed I will have to wait until I am 67 to get it. I knew that things had changed and always expected to have to wait u...

Re: Kanchanaburi border (Phu Nam Ron) for visa runs
We took the back roads route you describe but in honesty if you are not familiar with the road and baulk at hairy overtakes it would probably be as quick to go to Kanchanaburi on the major roads and then head down to Ban Phu Nam Ron.

O visa and may need a few additional days
I did the visa run to Phu Nam Ron today and all went well. Used the one that is run from the shop at the front of Condochain. Would recommend this to anyone needing to do this, obviously more expensive than doing it yourself but as much as I like driving this was so much easier.

Re: Mosquito screens and doors.
Search using +mosquito+screen and one of the first results is an earlier threa. Am sure someone more forum literate will supply a link. Basically various shops were mentioned, one on Petkasem just south of the Tessabahn on the western side of the road. They will come out and measure up plus fit them...

Re: Wanting new water tank 2'000L
Best to look around and compare prices. More likely to get a deal at Big Kiang if buying multiple tanks and they may be able to help with install if required. Check Watsadu etc and anywhere you seeselling the tanks as quite a few smaller places have them easily visible outside their shops. As regard...

Re: Mountain bicycle ( no motorbike) for sale - low price
A picture would help or more information. The price sounds good but you will get more interest if you say the frame size, how many gears, bike manufacturer and other useful information.

Re: Flight to Thailand bargains
Have flown with Malaysian Airlines in the past and would do so again. I do not have any specific good or bad memories of the flights and if the price was good would not hesitate to use them.

Re: expedia booking
Expedia are okay but Agoda seems to work better here in Thailand (my personal opinion for what it's worth). If the place you want to stay has their own website if might be worth checking that as prices may be similar. When comparing prices you may find that tax and service is included on the hotels ...

Re: O visa and may need a few additional days
Fortunately I check regularly and will plan accordingly. Thanks to the others who came back and gave updated info. It's only thanks to the contributors to the forum (most of them anyway) that we can get up to the information, particularly in this regard as the situation does tend to to fluctuate. I ...
