I've lived in Thailand for 10 years now, own my condo and am married to a Thai. I can't apply for PR as my stay here is based on retirement. On the face of it this seems unfair particularly as I've no intention of leaving Thailand.

Has there ever been a petition for this rule to change? 

Would people be interested in supporting such a petition? 

Want about if there is more than 1.6 m Balt 

I'm fairly sure the big embassies would want to continue if they could as these affidavits must be a big "earner" for them.

Say they do 5 a day, 25 a week at 1800 baht each time that equates to almost 200,000 baht a month. More than enough to pay a couple of clerks and a supervisor to complete a fairly routine task. The demands of Thai immigration must be too onerous to continue.

Thanks very much

Can anyone advise me where to buy a Remembrance Poppy in the downtown (Sukhumvit) area please

You don't, currently, need to do anything if living in Bangkok. CW do not fully enforce the reporting laws.

Grateful thanks

I admit to being confused so can someone clarify for me. I own my condo in BKK, don’t have a yellow book,  I’m retired here with all the necessary paperwork, do my 90 day reports on time.

i go to the UK 2 or 3 times a year but have never reported my return to anyone, anytime. Should I be doing something or does the TM6 showing my address when I re-enter Thailand suffice? Thanks

I usually get there about 1.15pm and expect to be out by 2.00pm

Thanks all. Yes the problem seems to be via YouTube. 

IPTV is ok. 

Will try linking direct to Sky News website

This morning Sky News seems blacked out - the error message says 'uploader not accessible in your country' 

Anyone else having this problem or know what's going on? 

Come on guys. This is an April Fools joke.

A friend of mine is visiting from the UK next week. He "smokes" e-cigarettes which I've read are banned in Thailand. However, I have seen people "smoking" them here and I'm wondering how the law is being interpreted.

For example is it illegal to sell or to buy them here ?

Is it illegal to "smoke" them here if brought in from outside Thailand for personal use only ?

Personal experience or intimate knowledge of the subject really appreciated.

In a perverse way having closer links to China will encourage the West, most notably US, to up their interest and involvement too. One of the last things the Americans, in particular, is other countries getting closer to China.

Thanks. Sound advice

Thanks all.

Sounds like the laminate has to come up.

I've just moved into a new (to me) condo which has laminate flooring throughout. I'd like to lay some ceramic tiles in the kitchen area but don't really want the hassle of taking up the old laminate flooring.

My questions therefore:

Can it be done?

if so, what do I need to do to prepare the laminate flooring to accept the ceramic tiles? Sanding, bonding etc

What adhesive will best suit the job?

Other watch outs?

Thanks in advance

Sorry. My earlier reply a bit garbled. I got the number you gave me earlier today but each time I rang it I got " number not recognized ". So thanks for your help but something's wrong somewhere.

Can someone let me have the phone number to make a tee booking direct with Sea Pines . I've searched the Internet to no avail. Thanks in advance

Sound advice - thanks

Thanks.

Very interesting thanks. Long term tourist visa then obviously more appropriate. Thanks again
