    New temporary motorbike licence.

    I'm going to be here for 6 months and I was fined 500 baht today for not having a picture of a motorcycle on my UK licence.

    I wanted to check the procedure for obtaining a 1 year temp bike licence as the majority of the posts here are about renewing a 5 year licence.

    Do I need a TM30 resident certificate for a temp licence?

    Do I need a medical certificate for a temp licence? If so can any of the small medical practices issue one?

    Thanks

    Yes to these questions

    Do I need a TM30 resident certificate for a temp licence?

    Do I need a medical certificate for a temp licence? If so can any of the small medical practices issue one?

     

    Plus copy's of all your passport pages like i did

     

    Also a copy of the UK Motor Biker Code from there website

     

    I did for for my Australian licence

     

    Better to be prepared

    Plus they have a photo copy place where you can get copy's done

     

     

  2. As long as you do an entry on or before the enter before date (July 22nd ?) on your visa you will get a new one year entry.

    After the enter before date you will need to get a re-entry permit to keep that last entry valid if you want to travel. The fee for a single re-entry permit is 1000 baht and multiple is 3800 baht.

    Then prior to the end of that last one year entry you will have to apply for a one year extension of stay at immigration based upon retirement or go home to apply for a new OA visa.

    If leave the country your next 90 day report will be due 90 days from the date you enter the country including that day in the count.

    Thank you very much for the quick response

  3. I have a O-A M Visa
    Issued 23 July 2015 In Australia
    Arrived Bangkok 18 September 2015

    I just need clarification from the Visa Experts
    I have been told if i do a Visa run over the Border, i will get another 12 months
    If i do this before 23 July 2015 with a cost of 500 baht At Mae Sai as i live in Chiang Mai
    Will i receive a Single Or Multi entry Visa?
    I am also thinking of going overseas next April after Songkran
    Will i receive another 12 month upon my return?
    If so what will i receive a Single Or Multi entry Visa?
    I am only expecting to go out 1 time per year for a few years
    How many times would i be able to get these Visas
    Or will i have to start getting the Extensions of my Visa
    I understand that you can get a Single Or Multi Extension Visa
    Plus i understand my 90 day report is due 90 days after i return to Thailand
    Thanks in advance

  5. why don't you guys realize that this poster is a troll. This is the third thread he has started with the same topic. He doesn't respond or reply at all.

    I don't understand why these people Troll

    Most people here need information

    Most times we get the truth

    I go one once they told a big lie

  6. What will happen to my DTAC Sim Card after July 1

    I have had it for 7 years now?

    I will be back in Chiang Mai in September?

    So unable to Register while Overseas

    The phone number will be disabled. There is a very large penalty to the provider if they do not satisfy the requirement so they will probably be pretty responsive to cutting off service if not registered after the deadline. I would contact DTAC via their website or e-mail to see if there is something that can be done.

    Thanks for the quick responce

  7. If this is of any interest; my thread from last about my experience at Rajavej

    http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/722850-rajavej-full-health-check-my-experience/

    These "Full Health Checks" are a subject of some controversy in medical circles.

    http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a8f65560-c263-11dd-a350-000077b07658.html#axzz3X9CmGoXY

    Are you normally resident in the UK? Do you have GP? If so I would recommend would sticking

    with the NHS recommended checks and avoid unnecessary medical costs here unless you feel unwell.

    Sorry, that article was from 2008 and anyone who isn't registered with the FT website isn't able to read it. If someone hasn't had a Full Health Check before then it's a good idea to have one. I'm surprised with how many British people haven't had a complete health screen ever and have had a lifetime of seeing a doctor only to have symptoms treated.

    In Australia they ask us to have certain check regularly.

    I had a free medical check when i was about 50.

    They found a problem with my Spine

    I also have the regular mens Checks

    As most men are too mancho to have them

    Better to have them early to find any problems

    Easy to correct early

    If too late you have to face the ongoing problems

    I will still have a yearly check. when i retire in Chiang Mai

    But will have tested what i want to have checked

  8. We lost it on TrueVisions too. They'd been showing it on the Diva Channel. Much fanfare about it being shown within 24 hours of the U.K. My, weren't we up-to-date here in Thailand! Then they had a little mid-season break around Christmas/New Year this year with a nice little cliffhanger and Diva Channel has never come back with the second half of Season 5. Boo-hoo.

    At least Diva Channel usually followed the schedule and their website is pretty good. But no news of the return of Downton Abbey. Sob!

    WE left us with a cliff hanger. Matthew is lying beside his vehicle presumably dead. Too cruel.

    We were only into season 2 and I was looking forward to a couple of Years of Downton.

    Brideshead it is not but I'm a sucker for British period series.

    Season 3 has finished

    You will have to look further on the Net where it is available

  9. Same thing happened to the Australian Embassy n Chiang Mai

    Must be for that people go to a Embassy so that way things done in a controlled office

    I've only been here 3 years, and was unaware that there had been an Australian Embassy in Chiang Mai.

    As long as there is still an honorary consul here, we might be able to battle on!

    Sorry mate

    No there was was only a honorary consul

    They stopped the honorary consul a couple of months ago

    However the Aust Embassy will come to Chiang Mai 4 times per year

    You have to pay a fee to get paperwork certified by them

  10. Try yr.no

    It offers several options eg CM Airport; CM Gate Hotel, and has comprehensive hour by hour, and 10 day forecasts.

    Looks good

    But

    Not up to date compared to the wonderground site

    It only amuses what the temperature will be.

    Updated at 2:51. Next update around 15:00

    Not the actual temp

    Will keep check on for future

  11. I bought a Carbon Filter

    At the local Phanacy today

    I only need it for a few day

    Can anyone comment

    I am not sure with the writing

    Hi, seriously I can't read thai. tongue.png And the filter doesn't look like it'd filter haze. The only masks that truly work in filtering haze particles (they get down to ~ 0.1 microns) are N95 masks in addition to some other anti-pollution masks.

    But I guess since you have bought it, just use it if it makes you feel better psychologically. But please, do not have a false sense of security and send a kid with asthma or elderly with heart problems for hours out in thick haze in Chiang Mai wearing this.

    Thanks for the input

    No this just to get me through the next coiple of days till i go home

    When i am here for next season i will get the proper N95 for shure
