Merry Xmas One and All

The girlfriend of one of my pals has to pay Bangkok Bank 1,000 baht each time he sends her money. It must be true as he says she never lies to him! :D Luckily for me when I transfer money from the UK to my Bangkok Bank Account, the cost, which applies to all branches, is between 250 and 500 baht max...

Got to say most of the aggression appears to be coming from Mr Plum and it is now over the top. Not saying I disagree or agree with him, just stating my observation. Good debate is one thing but we don't need sermons. To JoeDoc, the fight appears more to be between Mr plum and SJ and in my mind your...

Caller

Think Thursday is their normal day off so if no customers, they shut for the day or at least part of it.

Good luck.

Think they have 3 nights for 2 promotion on just now, but best check.

Agreed supposed to be very easy by post. I did mine in Bangkok as was going there anyway. They also gave me a stamped photcopy of my passport details which I found comforting in the event of a need for the original. Posted back to me via EMS in less than two weeks but times vary according to how bus...

JW. I would recommend BSGH. Comfortable accommodation, welcoming and helpful owners, good home cooking and proper English breakfast. Don't forget to specify San Mig light as don't think you like the Pilsen but perhaps I'm wrong! But beware of the monster dog! Four farang fatalities already. Licked t...

We have not tried emirates yet but we know many people who has, and they are all very satisfied with the service. Next time we go, we will be flying emirates. Both because of the service but also for the fact that the trip to and from europe can be divided into 6 hours to dubai, a good 8 hours slee...
