Whereabouts is the polyclinic ?

I understand minibuses leave Victory Monument to HH.
Best way from new airport to Victory Monument ?

Thanks

Sure I take your poit about 4x4s but really you should try some of the hills round here ! the daft thing is that those people who use the really big 4x4s are not going to be bothered about the road tax increase. The sneaky bit about the tax is that he reduced the 22p rate to 20p from 2008 but abolis...

See !!
Its got me so pee'd off I cant even spell (should be budget and 14000GBP pension)
Think I'll hit the bottle, take up smoking and drive more, just to give him some more money

Good old Gordon Brown in his bidget
With my meagre pension of 14GBP and needing to have a 4x4 as I live in the Peak District, I will now be 250 GBP worse off per year.
Here I come Hua Hin

When I get to HH I guess it will take a while to set up a new ISP. In the interim I will use an internet facility to do banking etc but how can I still emails during this period.
How long does it normally take to get connected with an ISP in Thailand ?
Thanks

Reading about enforcement of visa regulations I wonder if anyone knows the answer this :
If I am director of company (for house purchase), does this mean I need a work permit even though I am not 'working' ?

Deposit account is probably the safest option, current accounts may be a bit more tricky to get.
However I am in HH at end of April so will put a post on about how things went with setting up a bank account.
Also will post about general experiences in getting things set up over there

When you have had minimum 800,000 Baht in the account for at least three months, go to the Immigration office and apply for an annual extension of stay for yourself for the reason of retirement. Then your wife can apply for an an...

We are doing the same in July. As I understand it, it is best to get non o for both of you first then when there apply for non o retirement with your wife as dependant. Not heard about translating of marriage licence though you will definately need it for dependant visa.

Please add me in
Ta !

Moving general items, household bits and bobs, PC etc from UK to Hua Hin
Any recommendations / advice appreciated

HSBC is in Bangkok. Just wondering if it is classed as Thai bank for visa purposes if account in in Bangkok or whether money has to be in a Thai based bank. Thailand - I also have HSBC in UK and could transfer money free this way

Does anyone have recommendation of the 'best' bank for farangs in Hua Hin ?
By that, I mean the easiest to deal with, best Engish, easiest to open etc
Many thanks
