Re: Red marks and itching like crazy!

I get the same bites if I go out after sunset without a thorough application of OFF!, a bug spray with DEET. The pharmacist gave me a cream to make them stop itching, it takes about a day to reach full effectiveness, then the itching quickly disappears. I'll post the name of it after I get home. It...

Re: Non-Imm 'O' at Hua Hin immigration office?

... Local offices do provide this service and after Imm was decentralised, HH is the place you should go if you're staying here. Hope that's clearer. You've already visited Imm to get their checklist, so you're more than halfway there. Good luck and let us know how you get on. There aren't many of ...

Re: Newish Japanese restaurant on Soi 94

Thumbs up. I've had my share of good Japanese food in Los Angeles, I think this place will do me just fine. First time I've seen an individual order of sushi that contained a single piece that wasn't a big cone or roll. It was roe of some sort I'd never seen on a menu with squid ink.

Re: Recovering deleted files possible?

Still not sure how I managed to delete my complete Downloads folder circumventing the Recycle Bin in the process. Did not know this was possible. Shift - Del bypasses the Recycle Bin One of the first lessons I learned on a personal computer is that it's never a question of if one is going to need s...

Re: Terrace 90 restaurant

I've eaten there twice. First time had the Chilli, which was served with salsa and tortillas. All three tasted like I was somewhere in America, which is all I expect of Mexican food in SE Asia. I'd order it again. Second meal was breakfast: eggs, toast, bacon and coffee. It's hard to screw up simple...

Re: Hua-Hin Citywide Wireless Internet

I also am at Condo Chain, on the sixth floor. It's often unusable, e.g. 4 minutes to load google.com. I'm still figuring out what times it is consistently too slow. Middle of the afternoon is usually no problem. 5am is also no problem, but it becomes unusable around 6am. (As if that were usefull inf...

Re: Non-Imm 'O' at Hua Hin immigration office?

I see my question left out some critical info. I have a tourist visa and want to get a Non O for retirement. I understand the exeception described in the quoted text, I am hoping to use it. I went to HH immigration today. I'm not sure how well I communicated but I think they do issue the Non O, but ...

Non-Imm 'O' at Hua Hin immigration office?

Does the local immigration office issue non-imm O visas? I understand the process (or at least I think I do :-), but I don't know if I can do it locally. Last week I found a page that listed what the local office did but now I can't find it again. Shoulda saved a copy.

Thanks, especially for the locations. Kodak shops became invisible to me after I stopped buying film.

Passport/Visa photos

Where can I get passport/visa photos taken? All my searches turn up their uses, but not the local sources. Thanks.

Re: Need routine blood test without doctor's orders

Would you like to make it public? I wouldn't mind, someone has to tell me how to upload and display a personal spreadsheet. Copy and paste the URL below into a new browser tab or window. Sorry, I can't figure out how to make it a clickable ink. http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=toGP6PWk4M-JKvo...
