I will not be returning till about 23/9 so will miss out. When is the next one scheduled Paul?

Christ BB, keep it away. Its the missus

I also believe that you can only renew your Non Imm O in your own country. I have had a few friends have to fly back to Australia to renew.

If you lived in Laos for 6 months and the thai embassy/consulate could check your details then I believe you have a chance for renewal.

I know my avatar is a Koala so before pounding me to death let it be known I am looking for a wombat picture. Maybe easier to change my name to KennyKoala.

It would be wrong for us to think that the policeman may have been bribed, he may have only received a gift.

I have to agree with Paul regarding his views on uniformed women. As we live within a empty Chang bottle throw from each other I get to see the same sights. Ahhhhh Soi Jintakam at rush hour. Valentine, I did observe the Female??? members of the US military but only on one occasion. They seemed to co...

I feel bribing (tipping) the immigration officials at Nong khai is surely a backward step more in tune with Pattaya. As the sign says, NO CORRUPTION.

I went into Telewiz on the 2nd floor ( 3rd floor for Thais and for those falangs who do not know better) of the Robinson complex and registered my mobile. Very painless as long as there are not too many customers. In and out in 5 mins or less. All they wanted was my phone number, passport number and...

Sorry about the rare, often fatal, highly contagious tropical bug that layed me out on Sat night. Good to see two new faces and meet up with Paul and LA again. Not only did I miss the night out but when the warm corpse came a visiting in the wee hours, she saw me shivering and shaking on the bed and...

I was stopped by the BiB at the Prajak statue roundabout and they were using blow in the bags. They looked at me and waved me through. I was bloody sober too.

As a beginner I prefer the Lions course but have played the Army and Surat Thani courses. The Lion course is closest for me.

The date finishes work at High Tech at 1 am so only 1 hour at Little Rock which is more than enough for me.

John

Ok, see you at the Irish Clock on 6th October.
Paul, it is up to you to remind me to be at Little Rock by 1 am, but no pressure mate.

John

I am still trying to work out when the August meeting is.
John

Ok, when is the meeting now????

Air Asia left me at BKK for 8 hours, Nok cancelled a flight and I had to fight to get on a Thai flight after 4 hours of frustration. Thai are expensive but I have heard if you book from Udon to a international destination the Udon Bkk leg is discounted.

The US military certainly made their presence felt in Udon during Cobra Gold. Apart from the financial spin off to the local accomodation houses, some bars and some of the ladies there was not too much to say in favour of them being here. Ignorant, bombastic, arrogrant, foulmouthed and all round ars...

As a new member I will endeavour to meet up with you all next time.

New on the new forum I mean

I have met Paul and a couple of others a few months ago and look forward to meeting again.

I thought Thailand was GMT + 7 hours or is British summer time in place now?
