Re: Hotel Recommendation Please

Going from Hua Hin to Samui you can book bus and ferry with Lompraya: http://www.lomprayah.com/E/

Get the ticket at any travel agency in Hua Hin about 2 days before.

Re: How do you perceive foreigners ?

You will have problems to get an honest answer. Thais are not used to say directly what they think, especially if it could be offending to someone.

Re: Hello

It is O.K. to take the U-turn at the second traffic light. On the left is Tesco Lotus. But on the right there is not Thanarat Camp but the police station.

Re: House insurance

Why should it be waste of money only in Thailand? Fact is, that the Thais normally have no insurance. But I have a house insurance for fire, water, burglary and pay 3800 Baht per year for an insured value of 2 400 000 Baht. There was an insurance broker as sponsor of HHAD but now he seems to have va...

Re: Snake in the house!

Thank you for the many hints. I think the green vine snake comes nearest because of the very thin body and the green colour.

Re: Longterm visa, legal or not? What should we do?

I think the important point to note - as made there by SJ - is the 'from outside' Thailand. Anyone who offers to get you a visa without you having to actually exit Thailand is to be avoided at all costs IMO. You can get a "0"-Visa inside Thailand, if you apply for a visa change at least 2...

Re: Snake in the house!

Does anybody know what snake this could be? At least 1 m long and very thin (like a pencil) and very green.

I assume it could be one of the many kinds of rat snakes, but I did not find such a thin snake in the fotos of http://www.ratsnakes.com/gallery.html

Re: F1 Pool

The reason for the delay is that the results are not yet official. These are the latest news: Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, Nico Hulkenberg, Robert Kubica, Vitaly Petrov, Adrian Sutil, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Sebastien Buemi and Pedro de la Rosa have all received penalties from the Valencia stewards...

Has anyone tried to make a draw pick for the last 16 round?

When I try this, I get the message:

Re: TV Options - Dreambox Experience

As far as I have seen in internet, Dreambox is a Receiver, which you can connect to any satellite dish. It has also a hard disc on which you can record any TV programs. It seems you can also connect it via ethernet cable to a PC or modem. But it is not clear to me what you can do via Internet? Can y...

Re: TV Purchase in Hua Hin

I have also UBC/Truevision.

But this rip-off company supplies not even all channels with the Platinum package. There are 6 packages where you must pay extra:

Re: Thai Driving License

But you have to come with your own car or the car of a friend. You cannot rent a car without driving license.
