Re: Moped hire in Patong

I would guess they didn't have a working photocopier. It is illegal in Thailand for them to take your wife's Thai Id card - so at best they could have photo copied it and got her to sign it.

Re: Moped hire in Patong

Re: any comments ?

Wow - where to start?

First off I guess is the "Kwai" reference (Buffalo) - this is nicely explained in the article, however, it is not what Thais mean when they call someone a buffalo. It simply...

Re: British Expat Communities in Thailand

Chiang Mai has a very large expat population; compared to local population (and perhaps ignoring tourists for a moment) probably the biggest in Thailand. There are also plenty of tourists too of...

Re: Time in between flights at Phuket

To be safe I'd allow a couple of hours minimum to get through customs - I have had friends recently that stood in the queue for over an hour.
I was in the UK for a few weeks in Feb/March to see...

Re: Visa, etc. advice for Brit marry Thai wife, Looking for teaching job in Thailand

Yeah should have said "he would have to do a visa run to a consul or embassy abroad (not a border run)"

I meant TEFL only teachers, i.e. those without degrees that can't get school jobs. I doubt...

" made this and put it up as a joke. It is a composite of things my Thai wife and her friends have told me throughout the years. It is meant to stereotype a specific group...

Re: 100 Baht a month

Mercs and BMWs are made here, so are much cheaper than a lot of imported cars - in fact Minis and VW Beetles are in the same price range (with up to 350% import tax). Now if you see a Jag, Roller,...

Re: Phuket airport to town

Could be close - the line at immigration can get huge depending on the amount of planes landing.

Re: Thailand Holiday

You really need to elaborate on what sort of thing you are looking for really - Thailand offers much, but not all in the same places or at the same times of the year.

For a first timer I'd split...

Re: Wanting to move to Thailand.

For starters why are you going to the Thai Embassy? Check out Hull Consulate web site for a host of PDFs on pretty much anything and they are much less restrictive than the Embassy.

Re: Visa, etc. advice for Brit marry Thai wife, Looking for teaching job in Thailand

OK I'll have a go too.

1. I would guess this is a confusion. There is a rule that as a foreigner you have filled out your place of residence in the kingdom on your landing form, and any change...

There's more to it than that unfortunatly. Thaksin was elected twice, but then he called an illegal election (which was boycotted) - illegal because he did not give enough time as per the law for the...

Re: Planning Thailand trip - visa

Yes, officially you are not allowed a waiver unless you have access to that much money - to support yourself for the 30 days. As BB said, its rarely checked - have heard of rumours of people being...

Re: Shopping, polo long sleeves, where??

You could always have them made for you - plenty of Indian tailors here that knock out anything you can show them for a few quid. Check before you pay though!

Re: Thailand Rice Industry

No incentives at all. Natural Teak logging in Thailand is illegal (for about 35 years now I think - maybe longer) - so teak is farmed instead. It takes about 25 years for a full grown tree, but they...

If by air, you can literally return the same day and get another 30 day waiver (Visa Exemption) - or 15 day by land. However, the problem is that the airline will not allow them to fly without a...
