At the local Thai post office i was informed they have put a hold, on packages being sent to the USA. I need to send a watch part so the package will be very small. Would anyone know how to get around this issue.

At present i use the Chiang Rai Toyota main dealer for work on my 4WD pickups, just checking if anyone has info for a good local mechanic who has knowledge on older model Toyota 4WD pickups, some basic English would be a bonus.

Ok i have now located an agent, did you use your driving licence for this part as everything else on the list will be in Thai and need translated and certified Proof of address in Thailand (lease agreement, utility bill, bank statement, Driving license, etc...) Address must be written in English

I live in Ubon and want to avoid going to BKK, do you have a ref for an agent who can handle everthing, and mail me back my new passport

My extensions are all based on the 800k method, i have already informed them i am on a Retirement extention so i will need to wait and check what the outcome will be. The issue for me is what happens when the job is complete and they need to cancell my work visa, as i will need to return back to a Retirement extention

I can confirm i am married to a Thai

At present i have a 1 year Retirement extention, issued in Ubon. i have just been asked if i am interested in a 3 month work contract in Rayong, and the company would obtain a work visa. I assume that the retirement extention would be cancelled and replaced with a work visa. What i would like to know is what is the procedure when the work visa is cancelled, and i need to re apply for a new retirement extention.

Just checking if someone knows whare to purchase dry ice in Ubon, Swensen used to sell but has now stopped.

Just checking if anyone knows of a garage that has good Toyota 4WD knowledge and can remove my old 3L engine, and fit a replacement D4D 1KD.

What would happen if you previously used an agent to supply the funds for the extention, and that amounrt was no longer in your bank book to provide up date ?

They send my orders to Ubon & Chiang Rai, delivered by Inter Express chilled service, never had any issues and the delivery is fast, all packages can be tracked.

Just checked on BB website and the FD interest rate seems to have taken a big jump, i am wandering if depositing saving funds from HSBC offshore to open this account is going to cause an issue with the supposed new tax reporting thats floating around Deposit Terms and Interest Rates USD 4- months Fixed Deposit Account, interest rate is 4.35% p.a. USD 7- months Fixed Deposit Account, interest rate is 4.20% p.a. Promotion campaign is effective from February 3, 2025 – May 7, 2025.

Previously i purchased some Avocado when we drive around Phetchabun province, just checking if any members here can let me know of any supplier who can send to me in Chiang Rai. If i can get the contact info my wife can call and check what is available.
