We are overdue, and the current PM is not the one who the people elected so they may not be too troubled if she is ousted.

A 6,000 baht fine and suspended sentence, same as what the French Arabs who ran the police checkpoint in Kamala got, isn't going to do a damn thing to deter this type of behavior. They need to jail them for a couple weeks, impound the bikes, deport them, and blacklist them if they want to get the message out that there will be consequences for this type of behavior.

I have Amazon Prime and I find Amazon will not ship most of the goods I am interested in to Thailand. Though it has started to improve a little in the last few years.

I think a letter from you to the consular officer for your wife to take with her to the interview may be helpful. Tell them about your situation, your future plans together, and give them whatever assurance you can that she will be returning to Thailand. My situation was a little different because I was living in Thailand when my wife applied for a tourist visa. She said the interviewing officer seemed very interested in a letter she took with her written by my brother welcoming her to the family and saying how much everyone was looking forward to meeting her. She didn't have any money, property, a good job, or children but her visa was approved.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I think I'll save myself a trip to Bangkok unless we have another reason to go there around the time of the Motor Show.

What is the incentive for purchasing a car at the annual Motor Show rather than buying from a dealer? Do you get a discount off the list price, or free options thrown in? Can you take delivery in your home province (Phuket in my case) or do you have to pick up the car in Bangkok? I am probably looking to buy a Honda HRV base model e:HEV E listing for 979k. I would especially like to hear from people who have bought at the auto show in the past.

We are flying to Da Nang tomorrow (Sunday) for 5 days. I'll need to exchange a little bit at the airport, but once I get to the city where will I receive the best exchange rate?

I've been using OpenPhone VOIP service for a couple years. It works great. Costs $10/month. You get a U.S. phone number and unlimited calls and texts to/from U.S. and Canada. The app works on Android phones. t

You can check BB's current exchange rate anytime at: https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/View-Rates/Foreign-Exchange-Rates The TT buying rate is the rate they pay when you send USD. I have found very slightly better rates at other places, but the % fee has no limit. The 500 baht max charged by BB works out better for me.

I submitted an application for a TIN for my Thai wife together with our first joint tax return in 2011 without reporting any income for her. It took a little longer to process, but there were no problems or questions asked.

Someone like you who is totally incapable of respecting the culture of the country you are visiting should not be allowed to leave home. Your remark about an 8 month pregnant woman should stay at home is not worthy of comment.

You had to have the Proof-of-address to get your Thai driver's license. It may be stapled on a back page in your passport.

When you see that the meter is running have someone turn off all the power in your apartment and see if the meter is still running.
