Siam Addict

In London, I have the heating on minimum unless the tempeture is down to freezing then normally on at 18-19 for an hour or two in the evening, and on minimum during the night. My flat is south facing and during the day it is normally warm even in the winter.

But then I will normally go to work in a short sleeved shirt with a thermal vest if very cold and I constantant moan at how hot the office tempeture is, it is set at 20 degrees but it is normally turned up to 26-28 degrees when cold.

When I'm in the room in Thailand I set the tempeture at 26 degrees but I would prefer to have a fan and not use aircon but never seem to get that option in the hotels.

Not a Tv comedy but alot of the Carry on films were released in the 70's

Loved Frank Spencer in Some mothers do ave em

Porridge and Open all hours were two more I enjoyed.

Did you have your passport with you in Tree Town? I never have my passport with me when out and about in Thailand, especially if drinking (except for long drives when i may be stopped by the traffic police). 

Earlier i posted about colour photocopying a passport half size and laminating so it is credit card size - works in some countries.

Or alternatively nowadays can you just show a copy on your phone?

I have a laminated copy that I keep in my wallet, the problem is it didn't show my date of arrival. But the BIB was happy with it.

Thanks guys, in twenty years of visiting Thailand I have only had the police ask to see my passport once. But that was a year ago in Tree Town.

So, am I tempting fate? I have the sort of luck that I will get stopped on the way back to the airport.

Looking to book this years holidays and it looks like I can have a total trip of 31-32 days in Thailand.

Am I better getting a sixty day Visa or just paying the fine when I leave? Also will I get in if the departure date is over 30 days?

Last year Eva business class was at least £4k for travel from Heathrow in December, I just looked online and I can get Eva business class for December 2024 for £2,747. This is with Kakak and I have not shopped around so maybe cheaper elsewhere.

Cheapest with a stop over £2,392 with Turkish Air. Which is nearly £400 more than Eithad was last year.

Definately tempted even though it is over 10 months away.

Can anyone tell me why EVA flights always take off late from LHR, sometimes more than an hour late? .

Talking specifically about BR68 to BKK  

Not just Eva,

My last flight from Heathrow was with Eithad and we were loaded and ready to go on time but ended up sitting at the gate for over an hour.

I did notice a few of them on my recent trip.

I didn't realise that they were the work of one man, although the eyes on most of them are very similar.

As a rule i don't drink but when in Thailand and out with friends I will normally drink Smirnoff Ice, and on my latest trip I done bar crawl along Soi 7 and the cost of a bottle of Smirnoff Ice fluctuated between 90 and 160B.

Not much difference in the bars just normal beer bars.

They do free delivery over 1,000 Baht.

FEVER has 2 shops within walking distance of Buakhao and Nirun.

Where does he live ...???

He has recently moved from Bangkok, don't know exactly but I think he's near Buakhao

Not exactly a bar or restaurant but I seem to recall that an English food shop had opened on Soi Baukhou, was I dreaming  or does anyone know where this is?

Alternatively a friend keeps asking for Tea bags from anyone heading over to Thailand, any ideas are these available in Pattaya?
