Good day. Sorry about the confusion Gooseberries VS Cape gooseberries.

I should not had taken it for granted. Once again accept my apolog...

Just to finalise this topic . Got a note on my phone from DHS to say they are delivering my new passport to Trendy, just before Songkran and an email confirming it's arrival from HM passport office just after, so wife went down armed with old passport, letter of authorisation , signed by me and her ...

The facebook link does not seem to verify anything as far as I can tell. The previous thread only shows a discussion, not verification. Parrot is consistently an accurate source, so perhaps he can post another link to this news? I googled "skyscraper city kantary udon" etc and came up empty handed....

Thinking of going any where? Udon bus station yesterday Wednesday, still two days before the New Year .

Following on about my recent dental experience I have received a few enquiries about the village clinics so I thought a little explanation may be in order .First and foremost they are solely for out patients, they have absolutely no accommodation what so ever . They are located in most of the larger...

Todays the day for those Thai youths to register for their compulsory army conscription. Sorting the boys from the would be girls. If they have breasts they are not eligible apparently .

Anyone else....or have you all got Dentures...? \:D/ :D Well always reluctant to give recommendations for anything on here so this is just my experience .Recently one of my two front teeth disintegrated, didn't worry me at my age, long past smiling at the girls, but my wife said it made me look fun...

Very heartwarming story Val , well done your missus (and you) plus all the Red Cross volunteers involved , great idea to get these people properly housed and as self sufficient as possible ... just a thought it might be an idea for one of them to have the "snip" so no more babies add to their burde...

Just a couple of snippets this week, one good the other not so . First the good news , a PTT petrol station is being constructed just before entering NWS coming from Nong Wai, it's going to big quite a big one and will have all the associated services available, Amazon Coffee and 7 eleven included, ...

Now this topic has descended to the level where we do really need the moderators to step in .Where are they

...Only last week it was turned down by Bangkok Bank and Thai Air as identification . So.... no money and no escape. Bummer.

Well went yesterday, a pretty painless experience all over and done with in 15 minutes. Security at all points was pretty strict, more like the airport, so don't take any big bags with you, other than that every one was not only pleasant but unlike the old embassy experience,pretty clued up and poli...

Truebrit. I remember seeing the post & someone did it with no problems. They said the agency was on the ground floor of the Trendy building. They may have moved as it was about 2 years ago. When you arrive at the Trendy building you have to report to the Reception. Ask them about the Agency & where...

No they do the whole thing no need to go to BKK at all, but charge 5,000bht. I am applying in person but trying to avoid another journey down to pick it up when its ready .Thanks anyway .
