Re: Car auctions
2017 or 2018. It was metallic red. Anyone can attend these Customs Dept.auctions, and if they still hold them they will be announced on the Customs Dept.website. I attended 3 or 4 times and it was always an interesting experience to watch the characters there. There were the ultra wealthy Thai males...

Re: Car auctions
I sometimes used to go with a Thai friend to the auctions at the Customs Department in Khlong Toei in Bangkok. He is a collector of classic Jags and Mercs. As Nereus posted, the auctions are rigged and outsiders stand little chance of picking up a bargain. Prior to the auction there is viewing, but ...

Re: Khao Tao Lake
I walked past it last week and asked one of the workers what they were building.Perhaps a local government building?
I was told it is going to be a government building, but he didnt know if it was the local government or the military.

Re: Thai Driving License renewal
My driving licence, the one that I obtained 5 years ago after starting this thread, expires at the end of this month. I renewed it at Pranburi last week. My retirement visa expired during my stay in the UK during Covid, and since then I have returned to Thailand on 60 day and 90 day tourist e-visas,...

Since Covid, when my non-imm. retirement visa expired I have been coming to Thailand two or three times a year using 60 day tourist visas. My driving licence expires in Feb 2024 and I will need to renew. Will I be able to do this on a tourist visa? (to prove residence I have a yellow book in my name...

Re: Golden Place Recommendations
There are certainly no bargains there, but the vegetables and greens are organic and reasonably priced. For those into herbal medicines, soaps and shampoos etc. they have a large but expensive selection. There is also a wide selection of Thai dried fruits, "artisan" rice cracker type stuff...

Re: Comparing restaurant prices between Hua Hin and the UK
... a high street fishmonger... Few and far between these days! Not really, certainly less than a few years ago, but they do exist and there are many online coastal fisheries that home deliver inland on a daily basis. Our local market has half a dozen traditional fishmongers, and butchers shops. Fo...

£12/kilo in Aldi. Tiger king prawns from a high street fishmonger, £25 to £30.A box of frozen prawns in the UK could easily set you back £50 in the UK.

Re: Phone charger destroys car, Sattahip
A cheap Chinese replacement battery in a phone will have overheated and caught fire, perhaps it was connected to an even cheaper Chinese powerbank, but once a lithium battery catches fire, run for your life, they are impossible to extinguish. Lithium-ion batteries, found in many popular consumer pro...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand
A bit windy for 10 minutes, the skies darkened for 5 minutes and it barely drizzled for 2 minutes. Bor Fai, near Toyota.
What a disappointment. Thai weather from December to August is a non stop borefest. Where's the wind, the cloud formations, the rain, the daily changes that make life interesting.

Fitting a Bum spray gun in the UK.
I have become used to the convenience and hygeine of the bum gun and wish to take one back to the UK and ask a plumber to install it in our home there. If anyone has done this, or if anyone is a plumber with knowledge of UK sizes, water pressures and valves, then I would be grateful for some answers...

Re: UK bank closing accounts for customers living in Thailand
Try Lloyds International, based in both the Isle of Man and in Jersey.
They have sterling accounts with credit and debit cards for non res UK citizens.

Re: 3 killed in train crash soi 94
Investigators are working to ascertain how and why the accident occurred. Don't need Columbo for this one. According to the Bangkok Post link they were returning at 4 a.m. from a party, and so the driver was in all probability intoxicated and the lights of the approaching train will have barely reg...
