  1. Thankyou ubonjoe, I have been in Thailand since 2005, married a Thai woman in 2010. I didn't bother with the marriage visa, just kept renewing my OA visa every year. I think this year I might apply for the marriage visa, and I have the 400,000 in the bank. Do I have to leave the country to change the visa? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
  2. Went through the drive through, already had the form completed and tucked into the proper passport page. No cars ahead of me, out in about 3 minutes, very convenient.
  3. Because, in times of famine, when money is scarce, they shoot their customers. You really couldn't make this up.
  4. Not long before the blue (scheduled) buses shut down, the main ridership seemed to consist, mainly, of students. Excellent for them i would have thought
  5. My mother was his other fan. She's been dead for many years as well. Doesn't bode well for the fan club.
  6. The fellow at the currency exchange desk told me yesterday that Central Festival branch would be a good option for me, and that I won't have to transfer money or close accounts, just bank as normal using my existing bank books etc. Hope it's true, although I'm not enthralled with Central Festival.
  7. There is a guy with a shop at Kad Suan Kaew just across from the nearest entrance to Tops. I've used him many times, my wife has had shoes and purses repaired, he also makes keys and managed to get me into my car once, after I locked myself out. Very handy guy.
  8. Rumors of a seafood buffet I suspect.
  9. My wife was the other one, and because I don't know how to pay by phone, she does it that way now.
  10. Couldn't hurt. I live near there and used immigration, Dukes, RimPing and PEA. My wife loved Mr DIY. For a re-entry permit last Friday I waited 4 hours at the airport location instead of 15 minutes at Prom. I'm going to miss the place.
  11. I stopped at the highway police station not far from Promenada. According to the officer, 90 km is the speed limit on Every highway in Thailand. That is obviously incorrect, but I went to the government bank and paid the 500 baht because it may really be 90kmh on the section where I was photographed, near Central Festival.
  12. I like the way you think. Only problem is, they know where to find me lol.
  13. II did not suggest that anyone not pay a fine, I get very few tickets, and pay them all. My wife said that the ticket was not right and called the authorities, who agreed with her. I was simply telling people that was the case. If people want to pay a ticket that was issued in error, they should do so, or donate the money to an orphanage.
  14. Thank you for that Digger, I must say that I would not drive faster than 100 kmph between Huay Kaew road and Don Chan intersection. There are to many cars entering and exiting, but South of Don Chan it's like a race track for some.
