Re: Buffalo style chicken wings.

Personally i now hope the OP does not find a result after the totally inconsiderate comment he made to "PET"
Unbelievably obnoxious response when someone is only actually trying to help.
Go Bangkok,get off at Sala Daeng,down the silom staircase and Hooters is there for you.Go and enjoy.

Re: Internet cafes/Computers

There used to be an internet cafe in soi 94 about 200yards up from Petchakasem on the right.Not sure if its still operational,but orange signage outside if memory serves me well. They also had motor scooters and bicycles outside for rent.

Re: Unlocking a I phone

In addition to the above comments,there is a small repair kiosk/shop on the right hand side as you enter the 3rd floor from the cinema end.
They unlocked a new phone i purchased in the Philippines whilst i waited,charged 50 baht.

Re: Health insurance now mandatory for long-stay foreigners

Yes,my multiple re-entry permit states Non-IMM.
So to clarify,if i chose not to have multiple entry the word RETIREMENT would not appear on my extension to stay.I am asking this based upon the fact i have always had multiple re-entry,and never done a 90 day report.

Re: Health insurance now mandatory for long-stay foreigners

Then i am going to disagree,every extension i have in my passport, the word "RETIREMENT" is stamped above the extension,followed by a further multiple entry stamp which does not include the word retirement. So,from an immigration officer/airline check-in person,i have a retirement visa,my ...

Re: Backpacker jailed in Thailand for 'picking up phone'

Tattoos have been common place throughout Thailand and Asia with regards to gang culture for centuries. Many people come specifically to Thailand to be inked,its cheaper and supposedly has been a fad for several years to be adorned in graffiti that is not common elsewhere. So basically,without havin...

Re: New Election Rules Designed to Keep Junta in Power

Obviously MR StevePIraq you are talking about countries within Africa or central America when you mention being in a position to be in a bar. These are generally third world countries,that i do not suspect are known for tourism,and for the outside world in general to take notice of an election where...
