Re: Condo for 3 months

This is the beginning of high season, so yes, it'll be a challenge as demand is highest from Nov to Feb. Have been looking around myself and even now, some places are full because people book them for a year at a time. Additionally, you'll be paying a premium by using an agent instead of contacting ...

Re: General Airport/Airline News

Turkey/Middle East, its a Qatar flight and a Pegasus flight. Just thought it very strange that both schedules were changed so far in advance.

Re: General Airport/Airline News

I booked three separate flights with two different airlines a couple of months ago for an upcoming road trip in October and November. Now, within the space of a few days, both airlines have emailed with time/schedule changes - they're on different dates and to different airports ... coincidence? Thi...

Re: Documentaries

Watched Ocean with David Attenborough yesterday. Absolutely terrifying what humans are doing to the marine environment.

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc

The 'agent fee' varies widely from person to person, agent to agent, immigration office to office, and depending on what 'services' or finances are required. It is not a set amount; some pay 16-17k, some pay as much as 40k for the 'full monty' which includes opening bank accounts, etc.

People are welcome to use and pay for their own photo hosting services, but the new forum will not have one, it is a zero-dollar project.

Re: Walking 7,000 steps a day a huge boost to health

I start at the Muay Thai gym and head west up the hill. Used to start at the bottom, but its too dangerous as the drivers seem to go out of their way to try and run you off the road.

Re: Thailand Cambodia conflict news and updates

I suggest you all do the same unless you are an actual citizen of Thailand with "Thai passport"! Pretty obtuse attitude IMHO. There is nothing wrong with taking an interest in the affairs of the country you've decided to call home (for whatever reason) and live in for decades, since decis...

Re: Walking 7,000 steps a day a huge boost to health

I can't walk long on the beach after 5 foot/ankle surgeries and one knee. Where in Hin Lek Fai are there trails? Thanks! They run all around the hill and go to the top on the western side, most clearly marked. However, they are rocky/dirt paths through the jungle, so not ideal if you have bad ankle...

Here is a (Thai-produced) comparison of the two forces, naturally, Cambodia is likely to have a different version of ...
