I again encourage others -- and not just Americans - to contact their Embassies as  it appears that they at least have the opportunity to engage in dialogue on the issue, which is a lot more than we do.

Just done with my Embassy.

Many thanks, Sheryl, for your activity

Only the TM 30 is required by owner.

 

If the owner not available to do that then the guest can do alone with TM28.

 

Only one required. NOT both.

 

  

 

It would be important to have an official confirmation of the above

Probably this gives better arrival times for a connecting flight. See also posy #13, "" Thanks, I know about the flight but that would give me a 20 hrs stopover in Doha".

Moreover sometimes there is a considerable difference of price between the two options. I usually go with Qatar from Phuket, but the last time, going through Bangkok, I saved a lot of money.

And, anyway, if Merijn has booked this flight, he probably had some reason.

In my last trip a simple telephone call to the Phuket office of Bangkok Air, that was bringing me from HKT to BKK, has solved the problem of Immigration and baggages .......

I guess you've never had Chikungunya to say that! I was pretty much crippled by it for over two years, then had a hip replacement that the doctors think that Chikungunya may have caused. Definitely something to avoid!

Last November 5 out of the 6 persons that were living in our complex in Rawai, Soi Kok Yang, have been infected by Chikungunya.

Now, after six months I am better also if I still have some pain at the arms in the morning, one of my neighbours still have strong pain and swelling.

We were fumigating once a month our gardens, but maybe to do it not all together in the same time, in adjacent areas, has been a mistake.

For shure it has not been sufficient.

Definitely an underestimated danger.

I have a wooden deck around a swimming pool, and it needs to be well cleaned and treated with a good oil.

I am looking for a person that knows how to treat the wood and could do the job.

Any suggestion (except the suggestion that I could do myself the work.....) ?

In the case that you are the manager of a Thai company that owns both the land and the house (situation not uncommon for sigle houses)  you should go to the immigration with:

- Chanote

- Blue book

- Renting contract from your company to you

- Recent document set of the <company with the indication of the company manager

- Passport (first page)

- Visa

- TM6

- TM30

(made like this on last September)

Much easier to register the company on line, with Goggle translator it is a bit hard but still possible also if you do not know thai language, and later make your presence or arrival declaration always on line (no more trip to immigration !!!!)

(made like this on last November)

Of course the above is for the registration of your address, that is the first step.

Once it has been done, for the Residence Certificate, you need to go to the immigration with passport, arrival card, two pictures and proof of the above (passport slip or computer printout)

Being arrived yesterday, I am trying to register on line my arrival address (the house is alredy registered), but where it is asked : Port of Entry, I cannot find out Phuket Airport. Does anybody know the number corresponding to Phuket airport ?

I do not spek thai and I can count only in google translator as an help, but in this case it des not work.....

Many, many thanks

"Also you have to upload a copy of the landlord's id."

 

I have made 3 application to register houses in the past few months. Never asked to upload any ID. Only enter all the details from the tabian baan blue book.

 

Maybe this is a new requirement ?

Since the owner of the house is a company, I sent (or tried to send) the Tabian Baan, the DBD cocuments with the name of the company directors, and my passport page as a director of the company.

I simply thought it was logical to send these documents for a house owned by a company.

Maybe I have exaggerated .... ????

It may be the address bits not being put in correctly- Town, district and province need to be done in Thai. Also you have to upload a copy of the landlord's id.

 

Best you sit down with someone who reads Thai to set it up. There is a hotline number that can be called if you have problems- again, it needs a Thai to do it.

Many thanks, all the entries seem be correct, my name in western letters, and company name and address in thai, but when I put the numbers in the box does not happen anything.

Should I do something else to send the data after putting the numbers ? And what should happen after this ?

Anyway I agree with you, a thai speaking person is strongly advisable.......

Maybe I am a bit naive, but when I try to register my house at FNHOTELREG (with Internet Explorer), when everything seems to b completed, at the end of the form I put the random numbers in the box, but nothing happens....

What shall I do to send the data ?

The button "save" give me a strange message, and it appears to be not correct.

Thanks

I am trying to register my house for the on line address reporting.

The house is owned by a Company, and I am one of the directors of the company.

The first page looks quit simple, but I do not know what to write when they ask "registered at", as indicated with the red arrow in the picture. Any suggestion ?

Moreover, being a Company the house owner, regarding the documents I think to upload The Blue Book, the Affidavit (DVD) stating the names of the Directors, and the passport of the director.

Any sugestion based on your experience ?

Many thanks

I read on Phuket News that " evacuation procedures were used to remove customers from the main Cental Phuket Floresta building "
Simply  ridicolous !

I was inside and, while the fire was on, everybody was still able to enter, through the flyover, from the old building to the new one and walk around. 

I entered three times during the fire, supposing that everything inside was open, and every time I have been sent out only after a long wandering inside.

The only concern of the staff seemed to prevent the customers to take pictures of the burning from inside the building (why? based on what reason?).

At the end the flyover has been closed only after the fire was extinct.

Hope they will improve a bit their "evacuation procedures" .......

Fell down? Physically or figuratively? 

Ah, ah, english definitively is not my language ??

Phuket View restaurant on Rang Hill.

Has anybody recently been at this restaurant ?

Once upon a time t was a good and pleasant restaurant, later it fell down and it has been closed for a while.

Yesterday  (I was going to the always very good Tung Ka Café, one of my favorite in Phuket....)  I noticed that it is open again, with a good number  of cars parked outside, I suppose that the management has changed.

Anybody with a recent experience ?

Today I saw this strange round building in Parlai, near the old Tang Kae restaurant, that now is closed.

Does anybody know what is this building ?

Maybe a comfortable arena for Muay Thai, one more hotel for chinese groups or a new kind of massage parlour (at the windows I see many mattresses.....) ?  ?

Just an update for address registration, regarding the persons that live in a house owned by a Company of which they are directors:

Yesterday I have been requsted, beyond the usual other staff, also a recent copy of the  Company affidavit  (DVD) stating the names of the directors, and a copy of the bue book. 

It has been a very long process, with a long waiting line.

Last February they did not ask me the Company affidavit and not even the blue book, and in five minutes everything was over.

It seems that the matter is becoming more complicated and time consuming, it would be wonderful if somebody that knows thai language and managed to register the address on line would give some instructions to other people ........

I still use Chang Mai. 

I started with them 12 years ago, I tried two alternative companies, but I went back to them.

I think they provide a honest service for a honest price.

In my opinion Rawai is not the place where to go if you do not have a scooter or at least a bicycle.

In Raway the various services that you may need are not so close, maybe a more "touristic" area, with more shops, restaurants, etc, would be advisable.

" Been reading  some  chatter  about tax stamp(s)   What are they for   and where to get, please ?"

I posted the same question some time ago.

I have been answered that they can be found at the tax offices, at many book shops, lawyers, etc.

Last March, it took for me 7 days

Maybe my question is naive, but what is the difference between  "farmed"  fish and  "farmed"  meat ?

will I have to do the video and theory test again, thanks for the info

One month ago, for the same process (from 2 years to 5 years) I was not requested to attend video and theory, only the colours and brake test.

Or maybe you have an older computer with an old version Internet Explorer? 

I did it twenty days ago, with Windows10 and Chrome the process has been fast and smooth.

After seven days I got the confirmation from the Immigration.
