Thanks everyone for the swift feed back. I can relax my head a little.

Currently I am in Thailand on an O type Non-img marriage visa, just lets say that I am having some trouble on the marriage side can I look at letiing my visa run out and continue living here on tourist visas? I read that there are now no restrictions on how many tourist visas that I can recieve, is ...

If you are driving when you are over I would say it would be well worth while taking them to the Cable ski in Ratchaburi Lake Point. Its only an hour and half drive and 350B per person for the day. They have skis, wakeskates somthing in the way of wakeboards and some other things to get dragged arou...

Scottish money is still sterling but it is printed in Scotland and says bank of Scotland instead of England on it. Its far more accepted now, used to be a hassle even to use in England.
The Thai banks thought I was trying to pull a fast one on them, think they were ready to get the police. lol

I would bring cash or if you can get sterling Travellers checks that would be safer, not sure if you can get them in sterling though. The banks over here give you a better exchange rate that the UK banks, when I transfer money into my Thai bank I have my UK branch send over sterling and let the Thai...

Ah! I was thinking it was just Abbey being a real pain. They told me I would have to let them know every 3 months but I told them only a month and a half ago and had to do it again. Seems like the fraud dep dont talk to the bank directly, drives me nuts sometimes. You wont belive this one. We were i...

My bank in the UK is Abbey and yesterday I withdrew 10,000B from the bank of Ayudhya and there was no charge but today got hit for the 150B from the Kasikorn bank, Booo.. Abbey have been shocking since we moved over, I cant tell them enough times I am in Thailand they still block my cards time after...

On the safety front. I too have never felt safe anywhere but always considered myself safe to cruise the streets at night in Harare, New York, LA, London, Leeds and Bangers to name a few. Problem to me is when you let your guard go down particularly in Thailand with it's image of being the Land of ...

I am away to work for 4 weeks but would be well up for a night out with you lot.
Do you normally bring your partners? Im on a pretty short leash. lol
I hope you have a blast on the up and comming Gatherings and have a beer for me.

Right with you on that one mrh79. Thailand is pretty much as safe as it gets especially over this way. I still hear of some petty crime but I never blame an opertunist for making some easy cash to feed their family. I say just dont dangle a carrot, have to take care everywhere. In Glasgow they will ...

Well I am 31 and my good lady(TW) is 34 so right around where you guys are. We have been in HH for around 7 months and love it, I work offshore (4x4) so will be away when you get over, should be back in HH around the 14th June or there abouts. There are a lot of older people but they tend to be pack...

Thanks for the info.. I was actually Boarding at Dok Krai Resevoir, its a little more inland quite close to East Pattaya. Ban Chang sounds nice I will have a look on the net. So is Jomtiem a quiet area? I have only ever spent a few days in Pattaya, it was central and a little too cray crazy for us. ...
