generally, Eva has very competitive rates, but there are loads of special packages on offer now from many airlines so you should consult a travel agent or visit the airline websites directly. I saw a Lufthansa banner on the way here which mentioned Bangkok/London.

Cheers
I am flying with Areoflot to London next week. They are using new Boeing Airplanes. I am told that they have now got their act together and food entertainment are as good as other airlines. The flight has a short stopover in Russia (2 half hours) Cost return 27000 baht.

Retirement visa extensions can only be done from a Non-O visa.
When holding a tourist visa this visa has to be upgraded to a Non-O visa and then extended to a one year retirement visa.
Normally ( at Phuket ) people can do this all at the same time.
First you upgrade to the Non-O and with the new copy's you get the one year retirement extension. ( with the correct papers off-course )
Validation acceptance for the income is up to the officer.
Phuket advice on the income certification is one month. ( but this is a advise not a rule )
The English volunteer officer at the front desk at Phuket Immigration told me 30 days for the income statement as well. But I saw someone with one that was dated in March use it in June. It would be nice to know what the rule is as the Consulate outreach only comes to Phuket a few times a year. I don't really want to go to Bangkok when I could do it in Karon. A new rule they just made up according to the Thai officer and the volunteer is; when using an income statement you have to give a copy of an ATM card showing you have a way to get your pension.. This was on June 24th. And I was lucky this year as the consulate came to Karon the week before. When I go for my 90 report I will try to get an answer as to when the earnings statement must be dated...
"It would be nice to know what the rule is as the Consulate out reach only comes to Phuket a few times a year. I don't really want to go to Bangkok when I could do it in Karon."

As far as I know the above statement is not true. We have a British Vice Consul, Mr Martin Carpenter, who lives in Laguna and has a office there where you can get all income letters and documents validated for Immigration at his office. Tel number 0898749080 for more info

In Topic: How Is Your Tot Internet Connection?

I'm currently with TRUE which I find excellent plus the service is A1.

However I am moving to an area where their max speed is 2meg which I couldn't live with.

Seems if I want a faster connection I have no choice but move to TOT.

Reading the comments on here all I can say is you're scaring the hel_l out of me :)
Today my TOT is running well just done a speedtest and it is registering 6.5Meg. I have a 8 meg connection. Yesterday it was running at less that 1meg for most of the day and improved in the evening to about 4 meg. Recently it's been up and down most days. I like to watch TV from UK but it's hopeless most of the time, just keeps stopping and starting... but when it's up to speed it's great. Not so often these days though!Best of luck
