Re: RE: Re: Permanent Residency information

what would be the benefit of a PR? Does it mean you dont have to show up every 90 days? Or you dont have to renew your visa every year? No 90 days. No yearly renewals. Alien book renewal every 5 years, but only a small fine for forgetting. "Re-entry permits" are required when leaving the ...

Re: Big Bike Insurance

I believe Locktons have an office in Silom Rd Bangkok. They are a large global insurance company

The dealer i bought the bike from in Hua Hin Kawasaki MotoAholic were helpful enough to provide a competitive insurance quote for my insurance renewal.

Re: Khao Soi in Hua Hin?

There has been good Khao Soi at MV in the basement level food court for the last 6 months, 55 baht gets you a large bowl. Tamarind market in Takiab has a vendor selling smaller bowls of Khao Soi on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday evening for 45 Baht.
