Tesco seem to have a policy that if you do not have the receipt you can still get a refund less 7% of the price.
Sounded good to me, I did an exchange instead so can not be certain that I fully understood.

Looked to me as though the international gateway was down, could get tot, babgkok bank, thai post office but nothing outside Thailand.
Working at the moment but a bit dot and carry one.
Near CMU, Chaing Mai

Checking the Northampton shoe makers and they all seem to only have shops in Northampton or London and all just make adults shoes.

Hey FolkGuitar my tool box is already full,
I have WD40 and gaffer (duct) tape.
If it is meant to move I spray it with WD40
If it is not meant to move I use gaffer tape.
Nothing else is needed (except maybe the hammer).
Are you telling me I now need to add this shoe goo????
-
It must be incrediably difficult to make shoes - my grandson has his shoes made in the UK. They take 6 weeks to make and so far not a single pair have actually fitted properly.
Hence my hope to find someone in Chiang Mai.
Anyway a couple of ideas to follow up, Nimman and Number 1 bar - many thanks.

I have a young grandson with awkward feet, no shop bought shoe ever fits him.
Is there anywhere in Chiang Mai where I can take his foot measurements and get him a pair of shoes made?
I probably need something a bit better than the street cobblers - but I might be wrong, some of them are very good.

At the other end of the day who is going out at 5.30am?
Unless the korean air flight is a bit late!
-
My understanding is that Chiang Mai wants all the pages that link you first non-O visa and all the extensions up to this year.

Yes you can have joint names on the ownership.
You will have to 'sell' the condo from yourself (singular) to yourselves (plural) and pay the relevant tax. Since you have owned over 5 years that is the lower amount. The tax is based on the land office valuation of the condo not what is actually paid - especially as I assume you will be paying nothing!
At least that is my belief and what I was told when I was going to do the same thing.

Change your dates slightly, you seem to be just over the month so you will not get the 1 month or 30 day return prices.

The only person I could find was on Superhighway. Near Wat Jed Yot. There is a 3 way set of traffic lights there, if you are heading away from Rincome junction and waiting at the lights there is a set of shops on the left, the first one, a hardware shop, does fridge repairs. They will come around and look and he brings his daughter to translate.

Used to be the case that you had to renew your first 1 year licence AFTER it expired since to get a 5 year licence since you had to have had a licence for at least 1 year.
Might have changed now?

I like the front disc brakes on the wave, big improvement over the dream.

Look up the WHO report, mobile phone towers have about the same risk as a cup of coffee every day.
More worrying is the radiation from the phone that you hold a cm from your brain?

There is a problem with Hotmail that MS sorted out today, but it enable others to get into your account and change your password. That means you can no longer access Hotmail.
If that is your problem I'm not sure of the solution but I am sure the hotmail page will tell you.

Just got an e-mail from Ethiad offering me the chance to bid for an upgrade.
Since my original ticket cost around £500 and they want a minimum bid of £750 to upgrade - and then said at that figure I was highly unlikely to get an upgrade I olitely told them where to get off.
Does anyone actually take up the airlines on this sort of offer?
At the same time, has anyone plugged a pen drive into the socket on the back of the Ethiad seats? Can it play any type of video/music or is it more complex than that?

Corel is a pain using non-western fonts.
AFAIK, Assuming windows you have to set Thai as the non-unicode option under regional and language options -- advanced tab (now assuming using XP!)
Probably have to set japanese or whatever if you want that to work.
Incidentally wordperfect can not ever do non-western fonts so you can never do Thai in WordPerfect, much to my absolute anoyance as I found it to be an excellent word processor.

In Chiang Mai it is available in ComPlaza, upstairs back RHS.

There is a nice device that uses mobile phone's to open the gate, you phone the unit, if it recognises the number it hangs up (so no charge) and opens or closes the gate.
I can find it in the UK - http://www.gsm-secure.co.uk/GSM-Access-Control.php but can not find a Thai supplier.
Anyone any ideas?

I did change my plan from the 490 per month to 390 for 3 months then it will go back to 490 a month.
Actually not worth it, since I realized I could make the change only because I was out of contract, having last changed over 12 months ago. Because I had had the connection for over 12 months I got a 5% discount so only 465 per month. But I lost the discount when I changed the plan.
Do the maths and you realize it was a waste of my time changing.

I think BKK is one of the better places to spend time if you are in the terminal and not airside.
Some nice food and drinks in the food hall on the ground floor.
Can get tins of beer at reasonable prises on the - is it 3rd or 4th floor convinience store.
Opportunity to wander outside on almost all floors.
6 hours isn't long by the time you clear immigration, check in, have to go through security an hour before the flight.
(PS, where has the spell checker gone?)

One appointment per slot.
I was told in January that this also applies to married retirees where the wife is a dependant - you must each make a booking so using up two slots.

It would be recomended that an RCBO be installed. However installing 3 pin socket outlets and bonding the earth to a steel water pipe would provide additional protection. You should also earth your HWS if you have not already done so.
I would not rely on connecting to steel water pipes. Most pipework these days are plastic. We have changed all our main pipework to plastic, but inside the unit they are normally metal since that is the owners responsibility to change. Of course that makes then a useless earth connection.

Using a Thai license in the UK is OK and I believe that you do not require an international permit just the English/Thai version of the Thai licence.
But if you get booked you can not pay the fixed penalty, you have to go to court. This can be time consuming and will cost more as you have to pay the £15 victim surcharge.
I've rented on my Thai license even when it was totally in Thai (I'd forgotten my UK licence).
Changes In Condo Maintenance Fees, Or "Special Funds"
in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Posted
Yes cheeryble, the regulations have the force of law so owners are legally bound by them.
But keeping on topic,
The condo fee is in the regulations, so it does need a change in regulations to change the condo fee. With some degree of effort it is posible to get the 50% or 33.3% of owners to aprove the change - I have been around long enough to remember having to get 75% of owners voting to agree an increase and that was possible.
(PS, in the past I tried to get the regulations to say the condo fee was what was set by the AGM - but the Land Office rejected this saying the regulations must explicitly state the condo fee)
I've always had the feeling that a special assessment that is for essential matters, eg to pay the electricity bill or stop the building falling down, can be made without any discussion since, by the condo act number 4, owners must pay the running costs of the Condo.
But a special assessment to put in a 250,000 Baht fountain in the lobby would need the owners permission.
Somewhere between these two examples is a cross over point. And is the reason why management must work with the owners to ensure things run smoothly.
It always has to be remembered that the condo act contradicts itself in a number of places and has sections that almost makes a condo un-managable - so again the management must work with the owners within the framework of the act.
