I recently got stopped by the police checking tax, insurance etc and was a little bemused to see that all five people being checked were falangs. I was OK but I was listening to the police talking amongst themselves, I have enough Thai to understand what they were saying and they were targeting fala...

Caller, i'm sure you're right. I've been trying to find a way to own land here and the bottom line is that you can't, unless you bring a wadd of money into the country, about 0.5M stg, which you have leave with the government interest free, everything else is a smoke screen. Also the the land office...

Buksida, is that the World Trade Centre, if not, where is it please?

Randy, if my memory serves me well Lowden don't produce anything less than 2000USD, if not more. Too expensive, and too good, for me, thanks for the reply though.

Tried the HH shops but overpriced, apx500 should be about 12000, asking 18000 in HH or 15000 for a damaged one. So: Anyone know the name of the area in Bangkok where all the music shops are, it's about four streets near to but not in Chinatown. Everyone seems to know it's there but no one seems to k...

The baht seems unbelievably strong against many currencies, 6% in 120 days for many, how is that possible considering recent events. http://www.x-rates.com/d/THB/table.html Check 120 day graphs, nearly all are falling, only ones not affected seem to be those that have little or nothing to do with LO...

Anyone got a secondhand guitar that they want to sell?
Something like a Yamaha APX would ideal but willing to consider others, including solids.

No, no, let him stay, I'll sell him my house for twice its value because he's a foreigner and therefore it's OK to rip him off.

I've found Thais often miss the ends off of words so
kilometre becomes kilome
wine becomes wi
latest one was
do you want to go to the blue station becomes
go boo

I have a question, I’m looking into the 800,000 baht option. Over 50, medical record etc. I don’t want to change Euros into Baht at 47 to the Euro, in fact I want to convert as little as possible into what looks like an increasingly unstable currency. I have asked several times at the Immigratio...

Burger, some people come here thinking they've done the right thing only to find the goal posts have been moved or the info they've been given is a crock of shit. Even the guys down out the IMMIGRATION OFFICE IN HH cant agree with each other so don't blame people who end up being FORCED into the vis...

The problem with staying cool and waiting is that if it is retrospective, you go to raynong say, and you are refused re-entry, then you are stumped, stuck in malaysia for 90 days or having to fly home from there. The immigration office in HH don't even know about it. If they don't know then how the ...

I don't think it's a case of right or wrong, the truth is that it is difficult to find out what is the truth when they keep moving the goal posts, with this and other things, I tried to do this properly but all the information I got from the HH immigration office, i repeat, THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE, w...

Siverbird, do you know how much of this is retropective? If you have already renewed on Oct 1 will you be denied entry or does the 2 free passes start from Oct 1 even if you have several already?

Does anyone know if the new border crossing near KiriKhan is open for immigration stamp yet?
