Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?

Although google agrees with you it's obviously no enforced. My daughter's kids have Thai passports. Only my daughter was present (the father vanished some time ago)

Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?

I'd second that. Took my daughter to renew her Thai passport a few months ago. I left her at the office and wandered off for a coffee. She arrived before I'd had a chance to drink the coffee. All done. Super efficient.

Re: Companion dogs

We have 5 dogs. Husky, German Shepherd, Labrador, mini-poodle and a Chihuahua. Guess which one is the most aggressive. The Chihuahua! It has no fear of the other dogs regardless of their size. The softest and most docile one is the Husky. Easy to look after apart from it's constant hair shedding, wh...

Re: A bit of nostalgia (Motor Show 1968)

Just taken from the commentary. "3 litres and a near £2,000 price tag".
Pointing out just how expensive the motor was implying that it's out of the range for most people.

Just contrasting how values in the day seem so cheap today.

Absolutely agreed. 'On' will make the pizza anyway you want no matter how bizarre. Never been disappointed.

Re: Canned rabbit, once a dinnertime delicacy

My dad kept chickens and rabbits so we often had a 'rabbit dinner'. I used to get the skins which I could take down the local 'rag and bone' depot for cash. When I lived in Singapore many moons ago, rabbit was quite common at the meat markets. We were always advised that when buying a rabbit to make...

Re: Long weekend escape Thailand getaway ideas

I've been to Langkawi a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed the visits. The first time I went, my mother was in her late 80's and fully enjoyed the 10 day visit. Plenty to do and being a 'duty free' island, prices are somewhat cheaper than on the mainland. A decent video of the place. https://www...

Re: Car auctions

I believe repossessed cars are often claimed by the manufacturer for sale in their 'used car' dept. Certainly with Toyota, reclaimed cars are re-sold on 'Toyota Sure'. My daughter has just bought an 18 month old car (reclaimed) from Toyota Sure. I believe Honda and Mitsubishi have similar companies ...

Re: Traffic jams on Rama II Road blamed for Hua Hin's decline

some interesting temples, one in the shape of a boat.
I used to pass that daily. On the back road from Cha-Am to Petchaburi (I used to teach in Rajabhat University). The one time I visited while UK family were here, the temple was flooded!!! Something lacking in the 'boat design'.

Downloaded a bunch of films from YTS this morning under ExpressVPN with speeds reaching 40+mbps and most averaging around 20.
Not found any problem with online news sites and TV packages. I'm using 3BB.

Re: Another alcohol clampdown

And will they give equal space promoting the benefits of alcohol. I doubt it. They will paint it as an evil. If you're in good shape, moderate drinking makes you 25% to 40% less likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or hardened arteries. This may be in part because alcohol can raise your HDL ("...
