I went up to Phibun and the officer looked through my passport . He said you must have been residing in Thailand for minimum two years to register at this office , but because I had two non O 1 year multiple entry visas sort of back to back he prepared an Alien Registering in the House Masters residence paper . I took this paper with the other documents to the motor liscencing office in Det Udom , but , it was the wrong registration paper according to the officer there . The officer then phoned the Phibun officer and they both agreed i had been issued with an innapropriate document . Mrs Onions then phoned the Phibun officer and he called us back to Phibun for to get the correct document ( only in Thai with a chopped photo) and valid for one month only . I then went to the Det Udom motor liscencing office and got my car and bike temporary liscence .

I am not sure but I think I was lucky with a bit of help from the Phibun office and maybe the motor lady was not aquainted with the procedure when dealing with a visa issued over seas .

I might add there was a lost day in there when me and Mrs Onions went for an impromtu session of well cold Leo drinking and idle banter at TC kitchen followed by a bit rocking out with Ting from Wrong Way in some night venue and associated hangovers.

I needed to get my liscence,

1 An international drivers permit .

2 Non O visas two years back to back

3 My passport

4 A registration document from the local immigration office

5 My wifes tabien baan book

7 375 Bhat fees

8 Medical pass from a doctor

Happy motoring .

I miss smoked haddock with onion simmered in milk . I would dearly like to know of any localy smoked fresh fish in Thailand and then try out this recipe . I tried it with smoked salmon but found the slices too thin and they fell apart and it was a pricey meal . If I could find say a smoked mackeral I would roll it in oats and then shallow fry it . These dishes would interest my wife too .

On the other mainland of China, if you win the lottery you can evict some peasants to create lawns as you please .

make sure your rotunda has suitable featurettes to will allow a pair of tasteful mini-rotunda gazebos to be erected nearby in future - like little baby rotundas! too cute!!

Just put a match to the bloody thing.

The incinetator will use a match ignition system .

On a happy note the midden in the back yard has transformed into a tomato and egg plant orchard, from the chucked oot som tam leftovers great things grow !

Why don't you go the whole hog, (while there laughing) build a Poop deck, complete with Mizzen-mast, and a 'run-up' for the 'UJJ' all done, (at 0600 Hours) to 'Reveille' on the bugle, just as the village starts it's; "good morning Thailand" speeches. Maybe they will stop laughing at you then.

now there's a man with taste!

Avast , where's thar mizzen mast ?

I tried Bagpipes at dawn but the boss of the soi has a bigger tanoy .

I am beggining to think the exrernal features of my house with its stucco neo classical corinthian columns, elizabethan baroque arches , purple glazed balustrade and reproduction coach lamps has become a bit of a laughing matter in the village , although many remark on its inherent beauty and ellegance . I mean it does stand out as a bit of folly . I thought painting it blue and pink would give it an understated quality .

I am now saving for a Rotunda that will double as an incinerator.

When we registered by birth certificate my son with the thai consulate in hong kong they insisted he have a thai name to add to the english name on his existing hk birth certificate. No problemo, and we got a name from a god mother . The only thing is now his thai passport and birth certificate have a diffrent name on them from his UK passport and hk birth certificate . To be changed at our expense at a later date or just left like that .

I might add though that no one in Thailand has ever called him by his thai name , Wiphu , anywhere , school , government , anywhere.

Or that other one with the peculiar military training ?

Or the one from Dukes of Hazard ?

Or one of our German cousins ?

Thanks Lopburi3 ,

Mrs Onions phoned the Phibun office this afternoon and they said something along the lines of ; As we have not issued the visa your hubby is holding we will/can not register him at this office . I will get up there tomorow and try my luck . Our local office in Det Udom was mad mental busy and all we got was go to the UK embassy in BK .

Will post my results and so on .

Cheers

Another avenue to try is your local police station. Who knows, they might be happy to give you a letter, might not, too, as not their normal function.

Some years ago I needed a set of fingerprints to send to the U.S., down to see the BiBs at Klong 6, explained what I needed, no problem and one of the guys did the deed.

Mac

Mac ,

that is an interesting possibility . The local polis are not unfriendly and have stopped me a few times while scootering around and been happy to accept any old bit of papper as a liscence . My International permit for the motor is doing the trick at the mo . They know who's in town alright .

Thanks

Dear peoples ,

I am holding a UK passport with a non O visa multiple entry based on visiting spouse and child . I am 40 years old . I would like to register my address in Ubon( Phibun Mangsahan?) with the view to getting a Thai driving liscence , car, from the local test school in Det Udom.

Please , what documents do I need and where do I go to register ?

Thanks for your help .

Luke

My searches have been inconclusive.

Hello fellows ,

I was thinking if you are in Det Udom on thursday the 9th for the new market that sets up outside Tesco we could meet and have a beer . I suggest the coca cola " Fat Lady Bar " on the main road , it is a shack really , but the beer is mostly very cold .

I will be there by 3 of the afternoon clock .

We had a fish job today......missus screamed when she stuck her feet in.........dam_n ticklish but really enjoyed it....did a good job on my footsies.

Dude -- men don't take care of their feet.

Men pick their feet. Men chew their toe nails. Men take pride in smelly socks.

Apparently real men filter the broken glass out of their whisky through their smelly socks.

Do you think that the tiny fragments of broken glass would harden your feet, or grind away the hard bits?

It was an act of sheer desperation .

The use of pretentious language in writing is defined as much by stylistic elements employed by the writer as it is by the specific vocabulary chosen with purpose to convey a sanctimonious and supercilious sense of superiority. Generally, to evoke the more precise sense of pretentiousness, as opposed to a genuine level of scholarly difficulty necessary to adequately communicate abstract and deeply penetrating analysis and thought, there will be a subtle hint of insecurity present in the writer's tone underneath the flamboyant verbosity that reveals clear strains of overcompensation for underlying feelings of inadequacy that are slyly hinted at in the noticeable similarity between the words "pretentious" and "pretend" (which have no basis in actual linguistic structure, however). Complex as the differentiation between pretentiousness and true erudition may be, the simplest definition is "you know it when you see it."

This is nothing more than corroborative evidence and circumstantial detail designed to lend credence and artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing theory.

People who can't tell pretension from erudition probably can't differentiate shoe-menders from boot-makers.

To them, its all old cobblers.

I was in T C Kitchen on Saturday and had a few well cold Leo's and a bit of idle banter with the local fellows. Mrs Onions and I then enjoyed a chicken madras , a chicken tika masala , garlic nan bread, and popadoms (truly) washed down with a pint of Murphy's Irish Stout while my youngster had his favourite hamburger with chips . I heard talk of kebab nights in the near future . Well done TC .

My son was having a bit off difficulty down at the local villge pre-school 3 and 4 year olds.It was a holding pen really . It was farang this and farang that and he was on the recieving end of beating by his school chums and so on . It came to the day when he came home and called me farang as aposed the usual call of daddy . He was under alot of pressure and was trying like hell to fit in . I didn't envy his position and started looking for a new school . We found a private school in the town 10 km away . I am very happy with where he is now . I think it is part of the course for my son , i will just have to try and make it an easier ride .

note : The chances are stacked against him , he is half Scots .

He shouldn't have called his schoolmate sasanachs

Ah !! I can see him now . Standing in the playground in a Glasgow school shouting back " am no a chinky , am a thai ya bastarts"
