  1. HI

    I'm trying to plan a holiday for my Thai wife next year.I wish firstly to take her to see some friends in Germany for a month,then onto Holland for a fortnight,then finally to the UK,whereupon after showing her the sights,I shall do approximately 3 months work,before returning with her to Thailand.

    If i get a holiday visa for Gernany for my wife,will that also entitle her to visit Holland under the schengen agreement or does this apply only to EU citizens?

    I understand i would then need a separate visitors visa for her to visit the UK.

    My question is would i need to apply for the Uk visitors visa from Bangkok before making the initial trip to Germany or would i apply for it from either the British embassy in Germany or Holland?

    I'm a Briitish citizen from birth.

    Many thanks.

  2. Hi all

    I currently hold a non immigrant (o) multiple entry visa based on marriage to my Thai wife.The visa is valid from 10 December 2014 and expires on 9th December this year.I returned back to the UK in April this year and will return again to Thailand on 5th October.I understand that upon arrival I will be given 3 months entry that will take me up until January 2016.I then wish to obtain a retirement visa.I have held the equivalent of more than 800,000 baht in British pounds in my Siam commercial foreign deposit account for more than 3 months.

    My question is do i have to apply for my retirement visa before the expiry of my non immigrant visa i.e December 9th or can i apply when, or just before the entry stamp expires in January 2016?Also what documentation other than a letter from my bank confirming the deposit of more than the equivalent of 800,000 baht and the fact that it's been deposited for more than 3 months is required?

    Many thanks.

  3. Send the sterling over and change it as you need it.

    i was hoping for an informed analysis of the likely prospects for the baht/sterling exchange rate over the next couple of months

    i suppose its anyone guess in reality

    This is what i've done.I've opened a foreign deposit a/c in pounds sterling.This allows you to keep your money in pounds or whatever countries currency your from.I can continue to send pounds into my pound a/c while keeping an eye on the baht..As you say it's anyones guess,but i think when the USA ends its quantative easing program,forecast to be at the end of this year,the baht will plunge.The USA has already started reducing it by $10 billion a month,from $85 to $75 billion a month,and already the pounds moving in a nice upward direction,so my feeling is when they finally end it,it will be bingo for the pound.

    If that fails to happen i've lost nothing as I still have my pounds,and so basically hedging my bets.

  4. There's nothing foolish about those things whatsoever. All bank accounts are insured and property (condo's), as long as they are bought wisely, are easy to dispose of at equal value of better - I speak from over ten years experience here of owning/selling condo's and operating a range of bank accounts..

    Advice from a man who told everyone to sell all their UK holdings and bring the money over here at 44bht/GBP (cos it wouldn't get better).

    8 months later and 54bht/GBP ........ those who took CMs advice lost 25% of everything they owned.

    And when the USA,instead of reducing their quantative easing program,ends it completely,forecast to be at the end of this year,we'll see the baht go right down the swanee.So have patience and wait,and pay a lot less for your condo.

  5. Most strange.I in the past have experienced exactly the same problems with leo beer the bottled type.I switched to cans of leo and that remedied the situation.The cans seem to contain less gas than the bottled type.If you drink the bottled type try the cans and see if this works.I wish you and your backside all the best.

  6. Obviously you don't expect fast-moving vehicles in this area and with my back against this motorcyclist.

    1) Try to anticipate and expect anything in this country(I understand that's easier said than done)

    2) Always try to walk in the direction of on-coming traffic if at all possible.

    3) I would say you'd be extremely lucky if the bike had of stopped in a land of ''mai pen rai''

    4) FAR BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY,AND NOT HAVE TO PURSUE A LONG DRAWN OUT INSURANCE CLAIM.

  7. Right. I cannot appear in court to face anarchy charges because I am busy in the streets stirring up anarchy.

    Bloody right as well.I wish these so called politicians,would grow up and start working for the good of their country,instead the good of their own ego's and pockets.
