That gives me a problem as I am colour blind. I suppose it's back to the International licenc every year.

I have an old British paper licence, will that be accepted? Do you still have to take a test or does the British licence mean you automatically get issued with a Thai licence?

I have noticed that when replacing clock batteries the clocks don't work when new batteries are put in. This has happened with clocks from the UK as well as local clocks. Maybe the heat or the old batteries leaking is the cause.

The car parks are very near the Terminal building and well signed. The one I used was on the ground floor level. To enter the building you cross the road and use lifts to get to the arrival level.

Oasis bar in Khao Takiab on a Friday night is very good. Jim and family will make you very welcome.

I fail to understand why this is not open to all. A list of names of participants and their companies would be helpful for all concerned.

I had one from "HSBC" this morning re a digital upgrade to internet banking. I contacted HSBC who asked me to send it to phishing@hsbc so they can try and trace the source. The mail looked authentic with HSBC logos and no spelling mistakes so very easy to be fooled.

I only have a paper licence, have hired from Avis at BKK with no problems. Have been stopped my MIB 3 times and am now 600B poorer although last year was stopped on road to Pranburi. Showed paper licence and was let go with no "donation". Perhaps I have been lucky.

When transferring money from UK Bank to Thailand ask for the commercial rate as opposed to Tourist rate. This has a limit on it and if you exceed it they get a trader to give you an individual quote.
