Re: Udon flight options - what happened to Phuket!?
The LCC's like AirAsia, Thai Lion and Nok run these routes and if they're not flying them, it's because there's no money in it. It’s far more than “there’s no money in it” if you follow the airline industry there are a multitude of factors that are pushing all airlines to concentrate on the profita...

Re: Air fryer Pros-Cons-brand tips
It’s faster to cook, cheaper to run, gets food that should be crispy, crispy (the halogen oven doesn’t) cooks from all sides.
Is that enough?

Re: driving license renewal
I currently have both car and motorcycle licences that expire next Feb. They are 5 year licences which I first got when I had a non-o visa (or whatever it was). As I'm just an occasional visitor can I renew these driving licences with just a 30 day visa? If it's possible is it possible to.do it thi...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse
Just a FWIW a vessel in the New York shipping channel just suffered a propulsion failure, though since NY requires tugs to accompany vessels and it was very close to another tug wharf a 3rd (possibly 4th) tug was very quickly on scene and moved it to a better location, out of the shipping channel, f...

Re: Getting ready to make the permanent move to Udon Thani, Thailand
Getting a Thai DL is a two-step procedure where the first issued licence is considered 'temporary' and is only valid for one year. It won't be recognised for car rental in the UK. Renewal after one year earns a five year Thai DL which will be recognised in the UK for car rental. The Thai DL is in T...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse
There's more extensive protection around the utility pylon footings further north of the bridge. Those smaller "baby" dolphin structures were probably deemed adequate for the average gross tonnage of the day 50 years ago It is rather unlikely that they are anything but channel markers given the sig...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse
I suspect the Captain tried everything but was unable to do a damn thing, sort of like a slow motion film . And I believe there was at least one harbor pilot on board. Further to my post above re pylon engineering:- The bridge rests on four supports, two of which sit each side of the navigable wate...

Re: Duvet, bed spreads and sheets
Any recommendations for a one-stop shop for quality bed linens? I've bought before at Big C but, like Lotus's, they have greatly downsized their selection and only have the cheaper stuff that doesn't last.

My question is - to top up to the 800k required for retirement, does the extra 200k need to go to the term deposit account, or can it go to my day-to-day savings account ie does the 800k all need to be in a single account? For what it's worth: I have the 800k split into two 400k term deposits, both...
