I am an older guy and hoping to spend a week in Khao Takiab in July. Is a week too long? Can anyone suggest a decent hotel? Its not too long if you mainly just want to chill out on the beach. It's also a hard place to define, as it covers a fairly large area, culminating in the area around the rock...

Oh dear BB, this isnt going to end well - but we already knew that. But it's quite a relief to hear it started with an accident. Edit. Sorry, just to ask, did you not have your hospital card with you? Notwithstanding the fact they were asking for your passport. During April I ended up in A&E twi...

Mutu, appealed time and again against the ruling, and at one time two of his former clubs were also found to be responsible, but that was overturned on appeal. His total fine was in excess of 17m. Howmuch has been repaid is anyone's guess. Musryk has employed the same lawyer as Pogba, who got his 4 ...

A few years ago, I was in hospital in Khon Kaen when my renewal was due. To make it worse, due to covid, I only got my new passport back a week or so before renewal, so that was another issue to be sorted! We used a trusted agent to visit immigration on my behalf, with a note from the hospital and a...

Yes, he'll have to take the hit and chelsea will dismiss him and probably sue him, but only after any appeal.

They exist, usually under an MOU. But these are normally only given out to larger (multinational) companies. Catering and such do not really have that exemption. Most are legally employed in construction and manufacturing and smaller businesses on the borders between Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Cam...

It's a weird one, as many Burmese, Cambodians and those from Laos are legally employed doing the sort of jobs that I thought were reserved for Thais - construction workers, cleaners in Malls, working in restaurants all over and so on. My other half gets really frustrated when it's obvious the person...

I see the Thais are now saying that the Cambodians always stip up the border issues when there are big domestic problems at home, to divert attention away from the issues they are getting flak about. I think that is working equally for the Thai Govt. as well.

but looking them up, it certainly does look like things aren't exactly going to plan. Factory closure, sales plummeting, problems with supply chains..... Is the EV market simply saturated with Chinese products? I seem to remember the building/construction sector getting massive support from the Chi...

Is 18th good?

Another factor, is what visa you are here on? OA requires insurance from an 'approved' list of companies, otherwise the extension isn't allowed. The cost seems to be be incremental, in that it remains the same for a 5-year period, once a trigger point has been reached, 50, 55, 60 etc. Well that's my...

DB my mate recently flew Brisbane /Bkk on jetstar and he was hoping to do it again next March... no longer. According to this part of the report, international flights in and out of Oz are continuing: "Jetstar Airways’ international services in and out of Australia will also remain unchanged.&...

It looks like there's been a change of plan about immigration moving to the 3rd floor. Having nothing better to do, I wandered up there the other day just to see what was on the 3rd floor now. First thing I noticed was the immigration sign previously there, had gone. Then I noticed a sign saying tha...

Not me.

Thanks for the update, all looks good here.
