Re: Shipping Thailand to the PI

I found a great place on the beach in Dumaguete, nice quiet area and good location for Island hopping which is cheap to do there. Plus the money factor. I just goes farther in the PI. getti...

I think in any country that you have a vast amount of poverty, this is going to happen ,I think it's worse in the PI. Lots of "set up" crimes. underage girls that are really 22-23 years old, drug set ups. and the like.

not much you can do about it.

Just go to the public taxi stand and tell them you want to go to HH. they quote 2700. I say NO.. I do this every 3 weeks I pay 2300 and they settle for between 2400 and 2500.

as far as the touts I just tell them I have a driver picking me up.

Driving is a great way to see and discover "The real Thailand" You can stay at the Dam nice cottages. slight detour and you can go to the floating market. And some beautiful temples along the way. My one suggestion is to stay on the left side of the road. use the lane on the inside for pas...

As for the early renewal you are allowed to do this 30 days before the old o...

I just had a conversation by phone to the GM. He speaks very good English. It first started out as not so good when he said " the movies are for Thai entertainment for the Thai people" But it got softer from there. some of these things I know to be true because I worked for Century movies ...

Look and look alot in HH and couldnt find a deal.

If you're going to Pattaya there's a pharm next to Tims Bar on 2nd road.

I buy Kamagra gel pack 100 for 3400 baht that's about a dollar each.

usually between 37 and 34 baht each.
