Virtual dub will do it.

Not sure which filters are inbuilt but there are at least two filters to rotate, one free rotate one in 90 degree steps.

Bit of a difficult program to find your way around. You load the video file, select video, filters and add the filter you want. Then save the output.

it might be working for an on line quote.

Or most insurance brokers. In Chiang Mai QBE give good quotes. About 3,000 baht for a million or so of cover. Lots of variables so can be much more or less.

jackk - isn't this last years news?

Or can you give a source.

ADDED

Must look at the news before posting.

Same problem as last year but you are correct, a new occurrence.

Look at this site and the current figures are not good. 32% of packets lost and only 72% of the network in Asia up.

But it is improving .................

Maybe some mix-up in terminology. There is a legally-registered Jurisitic person who will almost certainly be Thai and most likely a member of staff of the management company. Then there is an owner's committee who liaise with the Juristic person and the management company on behalf of the owners. I think it is unlikely that farang members of the owner's committee would be expected to apply for a work permit.

No mix up.

You are assuming that the Condo is managed by a company. This is often not true and the Juristic person is just one of the owners.

Chiang Mai immigration are arguing the the Juristic manager is a job, even if unpaid as in our situation, and hence a work permit is required.

We have not asked about committee members or even the chairman of the committee. But from a previous visit by immigration to some of the committee if the members do any work (fix a tap or the like) around the building then that would require a work permit.

Whether the immigration department would take any action is another matter. But if an owner wanted to make trouble for someone, who knows?

We have been informed by immigration (Chiang Mai) that a foreigner would need a work permit to be the juristic manager, and the condo would have to have the X million baht capital and employ enough Thai staff etc etc.

But I have heard of a challenge to a foreigner as Judicial manager that went to court and the court threw it out on Condo law. But it was not taken up by immigration or challenged under labour law.

Not outlook but here

you will find version 6 of Internet explorer and my hazy recollection is that outlook express is part of IE.

The OP is quoting the rate of the amount blocked on his account.

When you do a withdrawal money your available funds falls, but do not shown as a withdrawal. This is always more than the actual amount that finally appears as a withdrawal, usually about 48 hours after the withdrawal.

I look forward to the OP giving us the final rate he gets.

If you listen to the questions immigration ask they are not so stupid. They revolve around checking that what you have told them is true without actually asking you.

What job did you do? - gives an idea as to whether you actually have the pension you claim, especially if the US consulate simple takes your word for it.

My daughter is bad at English and needs some tuition. Do you know anyone? - Are you working on a retirement visa.

How much is your rent? - are you actually living where you say?

I treat the idle chit chat as a test to ensure that my application in genuine.

As far as I know the German consul also is issuing the certificate of residency to non german citiziens.

It's costing 1000 Bath.

As a Brit - will they also do an income certificate????

You missed out the need for at least two pens, so many papers to sign!

Bumping this topic up as there appears to be an error in all the translations of the new, 2551 Condo Act number 4.

All the versions I have seen give section 48 as follows:

SECTION 48, A resolution on any of the following matters shall not be less than one-half the votes of the total number of the votes of all the attending co-owners combined:

(1) a purchase of immoveable property or an acceptance of immovable property of binding value as common

property;

(2) disposal of common property;

(3) an approval granted to any one co-owner for construction that effects the common property or the outside

appearance of the building at the expense of such co-owner; etc

This says that with 25% of owners attending (a quorum) and half of them voting 'yes' you can sell and buy bits of the condo, change regulations etc.

BUT I am informed that the Thai version does not say 'attending' in the first part.

The Thai version means that to buy sell change regulations etc you need 50% of the owners to attend and half of them to vote 'yes'.

(I am, of course, ignoring the possibility of calling a second meeting etc etc)

TCA - I think you missed the point Taxexile made.

TO put another way. The seller must produce a letter to show the debit situation (normally to show no debts owed to the management of the condo) and if selling to a foreigner a letter giving the % foreign ownership. These are checked by the land registry before the transfer takes place.

If you don't like the aluminium you can get uPVC, even double glazed.

The price of normal uPVC I am told is similar to aluminium but it is much thicker, ie you have less glass in your window (if that makes sense).

Double glazing is expensive.

There is a small window shop, going from the Ping River (near Tesco) on superhighway heading towards the MaeJo junction on the LHS that does uPVC. Not easy to find and I forget it's name. Sorry. Think it is just after Chiang Mai granite.

The only ones I ever saw were in Global and the selection was small. Most windows are made to measure in aluminium. Cheap enough.

It is a scan in the pdf file - AFAIK pdf files already compress pictures so they won't compress again.

However as I wrote two others posted much better solutions above my comments!

PDF file don't compress, they are already compressed. In fact using WinZip can make then a tad bigger.

There is no simple solution.

You can extract the picture of the scan (select the picture and copy using right click on the mouse).

Paste it into some picture editing software (such as Coral photo paint, Photo shop).

Either resample it or 'save as' using jpeg and use higher compression.

But you will probably lose definition that might be needed by your friend if they want to enlarge the image to do any diagnostic work.

If you don't have any other software you can paste it into Paint (under accessories in the start menu) and save as a jpeg.

Suspect by Sunday you won't be re-routed, but go to BKK

Many companies in the UK will give you medical insurance. Not travel insurance.

Including BUPA, PPA etc.

You don't need to be UK resident.

Good friend whos at CM airport now reports that Air Asia still issuing tickets.

For those with flights today - compensation being offered.

So far I have not heard a single flight - (I'm 2 km from the airport!), but CM airport IS OPEN.

Take your ear plugs out.

Silk air (the one with a f on the tail) came in from Singapore as well as Air Asia from KL. Just waiting to see if that one goes out, due in a few minutes

All the little local flights seem to be going, Chiang Rai, Mai Hong Song etc.

But nothing seems to be going to or from BBK - both airports there.

PS Air Asia is just wandering down the taxiway, going to take off toward the north I assume heading to KL.

Just looked at the Thai air prices, under 8K one way to London on 27th or 28th.

But one of the taxes is given as over 5k baht (code YOAC). Due to this tax the fare is not much different from Ethiad and Emirates.

Try this thread:

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Condominium-...48#entry1944948

Found one.

Super Highway travelling from Nimenheiman. Just before the traffic lights before Wat Jed Yot a set of shops on the left. The first one is a hardware store. Someone working from their will do fridge repairs. Re-gasing at 500 baht etc.

But make sure your Thai is good enough.

Point to note Bangkok bank in tesco lotus Chiang Mai do not have a swipe machine - so you have to use the ATM with a limit.

I can not see why this point is raised.

It has never been illegal for anyone to open a bank account in the UK provided you are not doing it for some illegal purpose.

Whether a high street banks will accept your application when you walk in off the street is a totally different matter.

But contact the headquarters of the major banks, and have a reason why you want a UK based account and you'll get an account.

How else does Ta**sin have an account in the UK?
