I use Yahoo mail every day and have done so for many years now, never had any issues really, yes I have had the odd instance but I think you would get that with almost all services but I havnt experienced ANY real problems with any aspect.

Just remember the old saying "you get what you pay for"..............12 pages and assuming you will need updates or have it so you can maintain it relatively easy yourself..........as suggested, look at previous work completed, get references and follow up on them before committing any cash. 200,000 does seem excessive but only you know exactly what that entailed and you have comparison quotes which is good.

Websites can be idiot simple all the way up to professional all singing all dancing..........Good luck and hope you get what you need without spending a fortune.

What I usually do is move the money from UK account into Bangkok Bank London, then they transfer it to Bangkok Bank Thailand, total fees £20.

As stated Bangkok bank is max 500 baht when money comes into Thailand.

Takes 5 days from start to finish.

5000 a month ? = 180 baht a night !! ........theres budget and theres stupid !...........Good luck with your search but at less than 200 baht a night I would be VERY careful what you end up with.

No need to go back to the USA just for the Visa.

Thanks alot guys ! appreciate the help..........now sorted.

I recently upgraded from Vista to windows 7, I want to turn off the animation when different windows open, anyone know how to do it please ?

i have looked through control panel etc but cant find where to turm off this animation which is kind of stuttering and slow, never had any issues before.

It is possible that HSBC are not listed within the options because they (HSBC) are not recognised as being a "Thai bank".

As far as I know you can only transfer using online facilities to "Thai" banks and companies.

I think the OP is confusing this forum with a company possibly calling themselves Thaivisa ? and he thinks the two are somehow connected.

In my experience the passport is used as a form of Identiy check and nothing more. Just like the Thais have their ID card we ferang have to use our passport. There should be no issue about your work permit as the account is already in place, all they probably want will be proof of ID which your passport provides. You simply explain if asked that you have a NEW passport and take the old one with you just in case.

Should be no problems

I have Garmin Nuvi too but only paid 7k for mine in MBK (probably different model number) but does everything you have asked for and as described by Rabbi

It all depends on what the rate Paypal itself uses to calculate how much Baht you actually send.

Best to do a "dry run" with Paypal by only taking it to the "Review your payment and send" page

If you scroll down a little it tells you the PayPal Conversion Rate they apply to the transaction.

Like i say, nothing to do with the Thai banks.

Penkoprod

As stated above its nothing to do with the Banks, it all down to what Paypal imposes on the day and you can bet the rate will be lousy !

Laos Visa = Full page

I have used a Tuk Tuk to cross over get the visa/stamp and come back to Thailand at the Tha Li border but never seen anyone do it at the Nong Khai border thought as they all use the buses provided.

Do you have to go to Nong Khai ? where are you travelling from ? Tha Li might be easier (never anyone there) dependant on your location.

The confusion here in my opinion is travelling and emigrating, IF you were trying to emmigrate to say Austalia you would have a BIG problem, travelling is not a problem and the financial status is not questioned for travel only for permenant stay applications ie emmigrating to certain countries.

The Citizens advice people will tell you that as they would not encourage people to run away from their responsibilities/debts but stay and sort it out, which is easy for them to say but not always easy dependant on your circumstances and maybe some heavy duty collectors are after you.

You should be fine, get the ticket and take off.

1) Yes you can use a Thai SIM card but I wouldnt recommend it as it is VERY expensive to do so.

2) Thai Smart phones are usually unlocked and can take ANY SIM CARD ANYWHERE.

3) yes , you can I recommend Vodaphone.

Good luck and safe travels.:jap:..........I know just how you feel

Having a seminar ! another pathetic Public promotion to save face and look as though they are doing something. Why not do it properly from the start, introduce "special" licences for passenger carrying vehicles, make them ALL re-take a stiffer driving exam to get the licence, make the awareness of public safety and responsibility part of that exam. Get the Police to actually enforce the new licence at every conceivable opportunity and make them give REAL penalties like loss of licence not 100 baht for the noodles.. Perform regular and random tests for drug and alchohol abuse. Then they maight start to make a difference. AND SAVE LIVES !

As I understand it you should be able to get a NON O visa if you have property regardless of age.

There are others on this forum with considerable experience who will comment shortly. (Lopburi, Litebeer,Mario etc)

There are some advertising right here on Thai Visa, Walen as an example or try doing a Google search for "language schools"

They'll be asking if they can use a car or motorcycle next ....

As said above it doesnt necessarily mean his account has been compromised just the address is being duplicated. There is plenty of software out there that enables you to appear to send email from anyone you like.

Put the box you already have in another room, like the bedroom.

Yet ANOTHER Bus driver falls asleep and people hurt........how many more people have to be injured or killed before someone actually DOES SOMTHING to stop this carnage on Thai roads and particularly with Bus drivers !.

For such a small amount either get it from the ATM or go inside the bank and draw it over the counter assuming you have a visa type card for that account. If you cant/dont have either I guess its time to change your bank or open another account somewhere that has better facilities.

If you can do ATM use AEON they dont charge the 150 baht fee other do.

Trying to get money into a Thai account by routing it through Paypal is in my opinion stupid and extremely expensive. You would have to pay fees on the money going in to paypal, fees for the conversion in currency and then probably another set of fees for it being received by the Thai bank as an International receipt.

You state Santander, is your account actually in Spain or in another country, UK for example ?
