  1. where are they in Bangkok?
  2. Refilling water bottles, even with other bottled water, is unhealthy as it leads to a build-up of bacteria.
  3. Under Thai law a will is not revoked by marriage. It is obvious that you should, however, review your situation.
  4. I had the same reaction but a call to the bank's head office resulted in a positive reaction.
  5. It may be a question of what comes first - the chicken or the egg. There is certainly an enormous lack of investment in sports by government in Thailand, but is this because government thinks that Thais in general would not make use of greater investment. This might be because they are perceived as lazy or uninterested because of heat and humidity - which may apply generally throughout south and southeast Asia - or that they lack the physique necessary for success in many sports.
  6. The same as tattoos on men; I don't see the difference. I don't like them, but each to his own.
  7. The same happened to me in a Bangkok Tax Office,
  8. I think the lawyer may be jumping the gun as he does not seem to have considered the fact that the machine was faulty and did not lock the money in. It then becomes an argument between the bank and the ATM manufacturer/owner.
  9. Or even banning buildings more than 1 floor high.
  10. Whereas there are approximately 220,000 of them.
  11. Thailand does pretty well at 108.
  12. My Thai friend has been moaning about UOB's useless app. She intends to give up her old Citi credit card and get one from another bank.
  13. I agree. We are not guests here. We've paid to get here and we pay to stay here. Guests are people who stay with you for free or who you treat to a meal, a party, etc. The hotel industry and others appropriated the term "guest" as a euphemism for a paying customer, presumably because they thought it sounded less mercenary.
  14. That's OK. We can make lots of fun of the Thai language.
  15. This is correct. You do not need to travel to each country but you must make sure that the making of each will follows the requirements of the country concerned.
  16. The elephant pants were probably supplied by the temple because the guy turned up in shorts.
  17. It's yet another example of the abysmally inept design of government websites. Whatever the reason for rejection of a 90-day report, Immigration should have been given several boxes for the most usual reasons for rejection so that they can tick one.
  18. So its 10-yearly service is due!
  19. It's an AI generated publication and so completely useless.
  20. This whole issue of TM30 needs the relevant government department to lay down the law to every immigration Department office.
  21. No wonder you have over 4,000 posts!
