I'm Aussie so wouldn't have a clue what a real English breakfast is supposed to comprise of or taste like. but my understanding is that you need the right type of ingredients, eg. the sausage and bacon need to taste a certain way (Cumberland is the best?). which makes it a kind of niche product and therefore best handled by specialist restaurants. my go-to when I'm in Patts is the Sportsman on Soi 13. but last time I was there in Feb the pork sausage was a bit ordinary. more like an Aussie banger than a Pommy one ????

not quite, he obviously wasn't paying attention. here's the actual announcement on the BTS as of 3 October... Voice 001.m4a

ask your GF.

they watched too many CHiPs episodes when they were kids...

I'd be a copper if only the uniforms weren't so bloody tight! ????

ha ha yes I know. Pattaya boys seem to think that the rest of the country is as farang-friendly, or as small and easy to get around, as Sin City ????

this was recently in Bangkok?

not everyone's a sex maniac bro. strolling along Pattaya beach is one of the reasons I'm thinking about moving there once my lease is up in Bangkok. I love Bangkok but really miss the Beach Road vibe, warts and all.

this is the way. would be a boring backwater like Malaysia is without this sort of stuff.

everything I know about England was learnt from Benny Hill, Minder and The Bill ????

sorry boss I'm from Down Under ????

not trolling, simply stating facts.

of course it benefits you and I. a population kept in thrall keeps prices low for Uncle Farang.

everybody feels the weather differently. if it's hot for most of the year then it can be difficult for some people to handle the cold snaps. especially oop North where it can get quite chilly in the winter.

why so keen to change the way things are done here? be careful what you wish for, you might not be able to afford to live here if Thailand "modernises".

did you get the residence certificate from Chaeng Wattana?

actually on the BTS it's "suggested ... as recommended by the Ministry of Public Health". I've got a recording of the latest English language announcement if you want. Crossy's mate does the voiceover I believe ???? don't flame me, I get bored on the short ride from Ratchadamri to Sala Daeng ????

sorry, didn't catch that. did you say 2022? ????

how does a first-timer show proof of income if their Embassy doesn't provide the letter?

what if you don't have a spare B400k?

re the B40k per month income option you are correct, the British Embassy no longer provides certification. I'm sorry but I can't remember what you have to do for your first marriage extension if you want to use this method. I'm sure @ubonjoewill help you out when he starts his shift tomorrow morning.

what office is this? maybe it's one of those rogue places we keep reading about that make up their own rules. ps. from reading this forum the consensus is that Retirement extensions are easier then Marriage but more expensive. Marriage is cheaper but requires a lot more paperwork and allegedly some offices don't like to do them because of the extra work.

ubonjoe gave you the correct answer. he's the AN visa 'guru' so for can trust what he told you. it's 400k in the bank (permanently) OR 40k per month income. plus all the paperwork like map to house blah blah blah.

I wonder if that's because some customers keep them waiting forever in the lobby? I've seen that happen a few times in my condo here in Bangkok. I guess keeping an eye on the app to check the order status is beneath some peoples' dignity.

you keep mentioning that you've opened back accounts on a tourist visa but you don't say where and you won't provide details of the individual branches when requested. neither of which is particularly helpful.
