Re: Auto insurance in Thailand ... a waste of time

I'm in need of some advice. I've not actually seen the car as i'm currently at work but have seen the photos and it looks like our car is wrecked. This happened about 3 weeks ago on Petchkasem road when a driver in a car fell asleep at the wheel and crossed into on-coming traffic. Luckily the wife a...

Re: Just a comment... bureaucracy gone mad

I work month on, month off in Angola, if you think the bureaucracy is bad for visas in Thailand then you should try getting a visa for Angola, it's a complete nightmare!!

Re: Which Mobile Phone?

I am impressed with Mrs Almirante's S4 mini, the price was good too.
I was over in the UK last month and it was about £90 more expensive in the vodafone shop to buy it unlocked than it was in Market village where she bought it a couple of months ago.

Re: Fresh Scammer

Does anyone else get cold calls from a company with a kind of French name? Been annoying me for a while now, I believe they search through the likes of LinkedIn and other such websites for people's contact details. Have done some research on this company and they are famous for it! A-holes!

Buying a condo

So next month I will buy a condo in Hua Hin. I'd like to hear from anyone who has done it recently. I believe I know the basics of how to purchase a condo in Thailand but have a couple of questions.

Re: Coin Laundry or Inexpensive Laundry Service

We stay in a condo in the same area and we give our laundry to the staff in the office to be sent and washed. It's inexpensive and comes back within 2 days.

Little buggers at monkey temple attacked us when they saw the baby feeding bottle. The people that have businesses up there must get really annoyed!

Re: Primal Scream - Bangkok - CentralWorld - 10-May-2013

A real shame that it was cancelled, When I see advertisements for big name acts coming to Thailand I try not to get too excited. This has happened many times, I remember I bought a ticket for Muse in Bangkok, but of course it got canceled. :(

Lions Tour!
Is anyone planning on going to Australia for the tour? I really wish I was! Although I've got a ticket for the Hong Kong match which should be good!
