I withdrew 9000 bahf from my UK bank account using a visa debit card today and no mention of the 150 baht fee from Aeon on the withdrawal slip. Will check tomorrow if there has been the 150 withdrawal fee duducted. Normally when l deduct fro say Bangkok Bank the withdrawal fee is shown

If l were you l woud wait for the iphone 5 to be released which l understand is later this year

first time i have seen a female police officer....

but this story does stink abit of extrorting the old guy out of money

The lady police officer is a sergeant with the tourist police in CNX

About 3 years ago my brother died in Ubon and so l had to go there to make funeral arrangements but my 90 day report was due within 2 days. A immigration captain who worked at a Cambodian border attended the funeral and signed my 90 day report form without hesitation. Also in Chiang Mai if you are a member of Chiang Mai Friends you can leave the relevant documents at their office on certain days of the month and collect them the next day duly signed by a Immigration Officer. It only applies to 90 day reporting.

A true visions technician said it would take at least 2 hours to sort out the problem but that maybe thai time so expect longer delays in broadcasting. Have true Visions paid the fees to Thai Com for the use of the sattelite? Who knows what is going on as the call centre have no idea. Will True Visions give any discounts for lack of service to users?. I doubt it but even an apology would be nice. Hope the problem is rectified soon otherwise l will have to have a conversion with the wife as an alternative as nothing else to do

There is no trust left in the "marriage" and you do not need a PI to investigate to tell you so. She has got what she needs (Ozz passport etc) so has somewhere to go if it all goes badly in LOS. Cut your losses and tell her that if she does not return to OZZ that the marriage is finished and be prepared to to tell the Ozz authorities that the marriage has failed because of her unaceptable behavior and there is a unretrievable breakdown in the marriage. You will then be able to move on with your life. Good luck for the future

Yesterday l saw some golf buggies for sale on the road from Tesco to the Moat in Chiang Mai but they were only 2 seaters but could probably get 6/8 seaters. I have seen them advertised in the Bangkok Post

Not been able to get True Visions in Chiang Mai since 4pm. Hope they get it fixed soon as l will have to get drunk and go to sleep early

Have any TV members won the lottery?

A 5 inch cut to the head and broken glass everywhere and no sign of an attack

The mind boggles !

I think her husband turned up and was dissapointed that the whisky bottle was empty so they went out for a 24 hour binge and then went back to the apartment. Crime solved. RIP

He was there the other night, shouting and sweating profusely. Flat top crew cut hair, dressed in his brilliant white, buttoned up to the neck, starched white shirt and black trousers. Under his arm was a bible that I would find difficult to lift and he was simply shouting. There was no rhyme or message that could be deciphered, he was simply looking forward and upward and just shouting. Obviously he's of no concern to the BIB having been there for a few days and I think he's more a source of mirth and merriment for the bemused onlookers, both Thai and farang alike........truly amazing!

Did God get him a work permit. If not call immigration

Killing something just because you don't understand it (is it a danger to you or your family or pets????) is a knee-jerk reaction. Relocating it if it is a nuisance only, or leaving it be if it poses no threat makes much more sense.

The trouble is while you're on your lap top trying to understand if its a danger, if it is a danger, you could be dead.

I had a cobra in my house and l had no hesition in getting the garden spade out and kiling the bloody thing. It was a case of either him or me so guess who one

Anything to stop the wife from nagging

If you have a burn put some flour on the effected area and it will ease the pain and aid healing

If someone at the Apple stand says that the Ipad 2 will be in Thailand in 2/3 months,how come that some stores in Airport Plaza have them already. Are they copies from China or have they been purchased overseas?. Who knows

I did a 6 week stint in the sticks once, which was about my limit.

I mostly just got drunk.

Great idea at least if your drunk you can sleep it off. I would never go in the sticks unless it had an airport where l could make an early escape as 1 day would be enough

Go out in the mornings and avoid the crowds throwing water then stay at home and drink whisky is the solution for me

After the storm on Saaturday l could not receive True visions. It turned out that my dreambox needed replacing apparently because it overheated during a power surge. Its been a lot better since the box was replaced and also my provider updated the box so l can now get some of true visions channels and also Australian and Eurosport channels via a cable provider in Vietnam. I can use the Vietnam cable provider if their is a problem with True visions

My friends brother sold all his assets in the UK and moved to Pattaya and bought a house with a 24 year old bar girl (in her name) he met on a previous visit to Thialand. He moved to Thailand because in the UK he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He died a couple of weeks ago and my friend had to pay for his brothers funeral and hospital costs as all his brother had was 200 baht in the bank. Do any TV members know if the UK Bereavement benefit is available to a family member living in Thailand other than a widower,widowor civil partner. Thank you

Hi to Phuket Forum

Just returned to my home in Chiang Mai after spending 9 days on this beautiful island. The fact that it rained 7 out of the 9 days l was there did not distract me from having a good and relaxing time. If it had not rained l could have spent more time on Karon beach than l did but the hotel l stayed in was one of the best l have been to since staying in Chiang Mai for 10 years. I did not like Patong to much other than Carrefour and Robinsons which the wife liked on rainy days but after a couple of days we decided to move down the road to Karon beach. We stayed at the Front Village Hotel which is just a short walk to the beach and the shops and bars. I must say the buffet breakfast is one of the best and the services from the staff is great. Lovely sea view room which was exceptionally cleaned every day with mini bar and tea making facilities. Thank you Phuket and l will be coming back soon when the weather improves as l can now fly direct from CNX to Phuket at reasonable cost with Air Asia.

Just returned from Phuket and it rained heavily for 7 days out of the 9 we were there. The airport was very busy as a result of the diverted flights. Still had a good time but was glad to get to ge home to the sunshine in Chiang Mai. Flew with Air Asia from CNX and there were no delays

You would have to be absolutely heartless and in my mind slightly completely thick to turn down the role of father to your wife's child if you and your wife share a sound and loving relationship and are committed to making a family home environment, you share and have the means and the said child has been completely abandoned by their father and wants to have a "Dad".

Each to his own, but to me starting a relationship with a Thai woman having one or more children is a no-no.

Part of basic checklist before moving on with a relationship

You are right and l would not consider entering a relationship with a Thai lady with kid(s) from a pervious relationship

I think it would be quite difficult to find a now, single lady here, say over 25yrs old who doesn't have a child. At that age they are normally dumped for a younger model.

Most have kids before 25 and are dumped with no income from a husband who has found something younger. The problem maybe that the marriage was a normal village buddist wedding which means nothing. The dumped women then goes out looking for a man either Thai or a rich Farang to take care of her and the kid(s). Not for me thanks

Wish l could afford one or two but l do know that some caddies cheat on their spouses with the golfers and golfers do likewise. Its a money issue

Why dont the Thai Navy contact the British Ministry of Defence as they are scrapping aircraft carrier Ark Royal and the Harrier Jump Jet. Maybe they could also get some Tornadoes as well. All going cheap and proven in time of crisis. Why does Thailand need submarines?
