Hi, 

Just to add to this thread. Leaving and cancelling your non-B and coming back on a tourist visa is from Monday lots harder. 

From July 15th you can still transfer the tourist or visa exempt stamp to a NON-B but you will now have to get all your degrees verified by your embassy. Plus a Thai agency as well. So more money and much more time. Your best bet would be to either look for work and ask the new company to take over your wp, or come on a 30 day exempt and then fly out and get a non-B. 

I know about the change as my school rushed me out to change it all last week. 

Hope this gives more info.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have official input on transferring work permits and  days to leave after cancelling a WP.

I will leave Thailand mid June and hope to transfer to another school. How easy is this? How long does it take? Also if you decide not to transfer and leave, once the WP have been cancelled how long until you have to leave on your extended visa. I heard 2 days, but read above 7 days.

I have to disagree with one point above, the WP is not yours. It belongs to the work and must be kept at the place of work, not with you. 

Any info will be much appreciated.

I know this is not about why it happened, but from a ethical viewpoint, why should another foreign country let this guy into their country after he has blatantly broken the law in the country his is trying to leave? Not just a few days, but 1 year living illegally in another country! Then he turns up with a one way ticket asking to be let in. Any sensible country would say no thanks and stop him arriving.

So why are we spending time trying to fix a problem the original poster created all by himself. The issue should be you knew you were doing something illegal and now people will not do what you want and help you. When you try to abuse the system then you hope others will stick to the system what do you expect?

Sorry for your hassle but it's a case of it's your bed, you made it, you lie in it.

Hi,

My friend got pulled over by the BIB for driving his motorbike in lane 3 ( the right hand lane ) along Sukhumvit Rd. Even though he was overtaking other road users, he was told motorbikes must keep in the left lane or be fined 200bt.

As the Thai road laws are directly taken from the British Highway Code I feel this is wrong. As the UK law states you should stay left unless overtaking.

Can someone, if they read Thai, tell me if it is written in the Thai law that motorbikes must only use the left lane.. Or is this a case of the BIB making up their own rules and no one questioning?

Many thanks

Hi,

This is quite common in Thailand. The lady sees her role in feeding her man. Remember in Thailand the fatter you are the richer you are perceived to be. Fat people eat a lot so must have money to eat. So often fatter people work hard and don't exercise. It is a culture thing.

Suggest the idea that fat doesn't mean successful in your country and that you love her so much that you want to be around for longer. Ask her ( tell her that she is the professional) that you need healthy food and can she help you with it. So that she feels she has some sense of responsibility for you.

Some Thai people don't equate obesity as a life-ending problem.

Hope this helps

Actually there is a reason drivers may not know the road laws. Whilst taking the Thai drivers theory test, which was translated into English, the question was. You are travelling along a road and wish to turn into a road on the left. Who do you give way to? the multiple guess answers were. A. Cars coming from the left hand side. B. cars going straight on. C cars approaching and right turning into the road...

When I pointed out all answers were incorrect they marked a wrong answer correct.

IMHO I don't think anyone who refuses to wear a helmet has any claim for damages. This poor chap died from Head injuries, which surely would be prevented with a helmet. It is akin to someone claiming damages when they don't wear a seat belt. rip young man, but maybe more publicity should be raised about helmets again. Yes if she was in the wrong persecute but not wearing a helmet was maybe the cause of death..

Hi guys.

For those who are having trouble getting football with English commentary you can do what we did before when overseas. Get a VPN, strong VPN is a good brand at about 50 dollars a year. Then when it is set up get go.sky.com for sky tv in the uk. It costs about 35 pounds a month for loads of tv and all the football. Just switch your VPN on, log onto sky and watch. You can have up to 2 devices so your pc and tablet. Movies are a little extra. Never had a problem before and all sports not just football. You can then watch bbc1 etc.

Hope this helps

Hey guys thanks for the great advice. The vets always advise against dig food as cat food has a chemical in it to help their eyes or liver, I can't remember what. With 5 rescued soi cats most have been spoilt with nice food from Europe. I will try the gel maybe, but we have 4 litter trays and the bags are about 300baht for 10kg normally. So 1 bag a week goes quickly. I won't try to rise as one of the youngest ones spend all day in the poo tray lying in it. He would then perhaps eat it... Will try the ekamaii link as well.

Thanks everyone.

Will try macro as well huge thanks for all the support.

Yes when they are hungry they will eat but two of them just vomit it up again, Siamese problems.

Thanks

Hi we use a cat sand in a blue bag with pink top for perfume but it is terrible and not cheap. Yes it clumps but not together. The stuff we use in Europe is fantastic and never smells.

For food we tried gourmet in paragon and big c etc. will try to find some pet shops near on nut

Thanks

Hi,

We have just moved to Thailand from Europe and our 5 cats eat beef or chicken whiskas or friskies tin and biscuits, but all that seems to be offered in Bangkok is fish, which surprisingly all our cats hate.

Also as the are indoor cats we use lots of cat sand in the litter trays, but again the stuff sold here is disgusting and doesn't clump correctly. Does anyone have any info on a cat and reasonably priced cat supplies centre in Bangkok with a bigger selection of food and litter?

Any help would be gratefully received

Personally I think Thaksin isn't too bothered about coming back. I think although he has a huge ego he knows his goose has been cooked. But I do think that people are using him to take the heat and focus away from their agenda. Thaksin is all we hear about, we can hate him, blame him or defend him, but by doing this we let the real puppet masters get away with things and placing the blame on our ex-leader.

I think if Thaksin really wanted to come back, he knows with a prison sentence he can not legally or morally lead the country again but he could advise and help restore confidence in Thailand, but I feel that this is not the agenda. Mirrors, mirrors and more mirrors is the game. So forget Thaksin all he does is rouse a few supporters now, let's keep an eye on the real issues and not spend time on him.
