Re: Different Fuel Grades - How to Choose

Bangchak have always been around though may be not so present in petchaburi and prachuabkhirikhan. I've often stopped at the bangchak station in samut sogkhram on the rama 2 road in the salt farms area. They own the huge refinery in Bangchak, Bangkok. Hence the name. Along with the Esso takeover the...

Re: Tips for recycling and reducing plastic use in Thailand

Just been to market village. The ground floor car park has a row of rubbish bins one of which is red topped and is marked for dangerous rubbish. It's next to the mall entrance nearest Lotus's. I dumped my batteries in that. In fact, the tesaban has red bins around town which are ostensibly for dange...

There was a battery bank at Market Village. Maybe a regular can confirm it still exists and its exact location?
Used to be one at bluport (in the ground floor car park) but it wasn't there last week.

Re: Hua Hin To Start Charging For Chatchai Parking From 15 Feb

But if you park there in a car for 1 hour it’s going to cost you B10 - is that a big issue? Not at all, but I just can't be bothered with it and I can't see the point of it, bikes and pick ups will just park on the other unaffected roads and make them worse. I also think it's the thin edge of the w...

Re: Thai Driving License renewal

Having lost one of my licences, does anyone have a definitive procedure for getting it re-issued. I've heard that a police report is required but other than that I have no info. Just giving this a bump. Has nobody ever lost a licence and applied for a new one? Police report is no longer required. B...
