There is absolutely no way I can understand the level of ignorance in a "leader" of a country that is very successful compared o it's neighbours.

If the foreigners want to ruin beach areas, the Thais are more than willing to help.  I always hated the aggressive ripoffs in the tourist areas...makes me glad I live in the Big Mango...so many options.

Uhhmm - no couldn't be bothered

<deleted> does perdition mean??

Both my daughters have Western first, middle and surnames - no problem at all.

Well we stayed at the Ingtarra. Not bad for the price and the views from the rooftop restaurant are really good over Khon Kaen at night.

Would not recommend the food there though - pretty ordinary as well as breakfast.

Got stung for an extra 100 baht for breakfast for the youngest kid even after having been told it was free when we booked. 

All up not too bad.

Great food on the roof top restaurant with a great view of the lake.

Thanks mate. Have booked!!!????️????️????️????????????  Here I come.

Any recommendations for a cheapish (max $50) hotel near the lake in Khon Kaen? Must have parking as well.

Any leads on where I can get a car to rent for about 6 weeks from Early December to late January.

Pick up and drop off Khon Kaen airport if possible.

Smallish car, automatic and full insurance.

If you are married or have a Thai girlfriend then don't forget to get the house checked for ghosts!!!

Anyone know where I can get hold of a fishing kayak? Tried searching nut all info pretty old and/or dead end.

Thanks for all replies and help. Looks like I should be fine with new passport and old passport with visa and stamps etc. 

I will be coming back to Thailand in November and passport expires in June 2018 so wish to get new one before as much easier from here. My current extension of stay and re-entry permit expires in mid December so shpuld have sufficient time in Thailand to renew, transfer etc.

Cannot find related topic. I am in Perth and will be getting a new passport while I am here. Will then require to transfer my visa and extension before returning to Thailand. Anyone done this before or can point me in the right direction?

Cheers.

Sorry dont know name but if you pull into the last set of shops before the temple and bridge you will find it ok.

My wife had both our daughters at Bangkok Phuket Hospital. A Dr Supajhit ( or something close to that ) Nothing but praise for he whole process both times and not really that expensive either. Great rooms and the nursery staff are excellent.

Congratulations, mate. Well, there is hope for us on the waiting list to get the partner visa sooner than later. How long after applying for the visa did the Embassy ask you to have te medical for the missus done?

3 months after first application were asked for medical and police check.

Norlund,

Thanks for that, was exactly what I did. Strange how the same medicines cost 3 times as much as in Australia. We live and learn.

Looking to get some prescription medicines so am seeking a large well stocked pharmacy in the Maha Sarakham area.

Cheers

Well as it hapened I went into my bank to get the required letter for immigraton and whilst there asked the lady serving me where I could get copies made. She promptly said we can do them for you and proceeded to make all the copies required for the princely sum of ZERO baht. 

Hats off to the main branch of Ayudyha bank in the city centre and thanks to others for replies.

Ha ha sorry to laugh but exactly what we ran into on monday. Pay 1,600 baht and you get it in a week, don't pay and at least 30 days. 

Officialdom at its best!!!!

Aussie embassy give 28 days to produce documents, great way to force us all into the clutches of the greedy.

Everyone I saw whilst there paid the money - probably to comply with embassy requirements.
