If the children are minor – i.e. under 20 years old – you will need a certificate from the amphor district office, signed by the Thai parent, for each child, that allows you to take the child out of Thailand. The certificate looks like this, which I had for my child... If the children have dual nationality, you might need to use foreign passport for check-in on an airline if traveling to a country, where Thai nationals needs a visa. In the immigration when departing Thailand show only the Thai passport and if asked for it, the certificate from the Thai parent – in your case signed by the father – and when arriving abroad you will use the foreign passport. When later re-entering Thailand, show only the Thai passport, which holds the Thai departure stamp.

To my knowledge, your daughter needs to be Thai citizen (i.e. having a Thai passport) and registered in a blue house book to obtain a Thai ID-card. When not a citizen she can be registered in an yellow house book for aliens, but of course need a permanent address in Thailand for that purpose. As alien she can obtain a pink ID-card, which doesn't give any rights as citizen. Your first step should be to apply for Thai citizenship based on having a Thai mother. That process should probably be done through an embassy in the country of residence. If she has entered Thailand on a foreign passport, she will probably need to depart on that passport also. Thereafter she can re-enter on a Thai passport, preferably one issued by an embassy abroad, as she has no departure stamp. The normal procedure with dual citizenship is to depart Thailand on a Thai passport, and then enters and depart a foreign country with the foreign passport, and then re-enter Thailand on the Thai passport. Normally don't show the foreign passport in Thai immigration; however, when checking in for a flight out of Thailand, the foreign passport is normally used, due to the often demand for a visa for Thai nationals; i.e. you travel as a foreigner, registered by the airline. Your daughter cannot work on a visa that is not suited for that – i.e., for example tourist visa – however, when being approved as Thai citizen, she can work.

The article has the answer... An expert in the disposal of radioactive materials, Sumetha Wichienpet, said that Caesium-137 was used in checking for invisible cracks in pipelines in the power plant, adding that the radiation emitted from Cesium-137 into the environment does not exceed 7 Rem but, in nature, the amount of radiation should not exceed 1 Rem.

You still do at most places; even Samui Immigration is well known to be little more strict than others...

These photos, where power trucks were parked at the southern transformer station, are later than the mentioned black out. I believe it was a planned repair where the power supply was kept by borrowing generators from other provinces.

In Thailand the wife is in control of the financials, so of course the change shall be handed to her...????

Now I see a new definition of quality tourists... “Quality tourists doesn’t only mean those with deep pockets.” Phiphat says anyone planning longer stays in the kingdom can be considered a “quality tourist”.

Not possible in advance to my knowledge, as you haven't arrived yet... You need to register the house master in advance to be able to make an online TM.30 report...????

Your main problem is that a shell company owning a plot of land rented out to a foreigner, without any other activities in the company, is suspicious; actually illegal. You need other activities in the company to make your suggestion work. When you have other activities – with preferable some Thais employed also – you can be shareholder, director (i.e. member of the board), and lease a plot of land owned by the company. There should be some payback included in the mortgage running over an agreed number of years, it should also be at market interest, not to make it look suspicious; a company limited is a business.

You didn't mention "condo". The condo reception should be able to supply you with necessary documentation if you are renting. If you own the condo, you shall have a Blue House Book yourself for the condo, and get your name registered in a Yellow House Book for aliens.

First flight from Chengdu, China, in three years arrives at May 5th at Samui International Airport... From May Chengdu Airlines will have three weekly flights to Samui...

They ask for "house master" or "owner" in the information text. Someone else than the owner can be master of the house and report who is allowed to stay there. The owner is not mentioned in a House Book, as a House Book is not a proof of ownership. The first page in a House Book – both blue and yellow – is the specifications of the house. The tessa ban-office would have record of who the house master is, as it's that office, which add or remove names in a House Book. I'm for example both house master and owner of the house (not the land under it), but my name is not in the Blue House Book; however, nobody but me can allow names to be added so I have to go to the tessa ban-office to approve a Thai national to be registered in the Blue House Book. My own name is registered is in a Yellow House Book for aliens. What you need is the a photo-copy of the first page of the House Book signed by the house master; a photo-copy of house master's registration in a house book signed by the house master; a photo-copy of the house master's ID-card or passport (if a foreigner is house master) signed by the house master; a copy of the TM30 registration, which might have been done online where a print of the receipt normally is accepted, of course duly signed. Unfortunately I don't have personal experience with Chaengwattana-office, as I live in another place, but I hope these information might help you a bit...????

Cheap, real luxury in Thailand will cost from 30,000 baht to more than 100,000 baht per night; i.e. about £720 to more than £2,400...

To my experience and knowledge: It's unfortunately her motorbikes, as they are registered in her name – give them to her, as you otherwise might be accuse of stealing them – unless you have a, preferably written, loan agreement with collateral in the motorbikes and holds the green books in deposit, then you can ask a lawyer to collect the debt through the legal system.

Cannot be registered. Any lease longer than 30 years – i.e. 30+30+... – is an unregistered agreement between two parties and not bound to the land title deed. There is no legal way at the moment to get a secured lease longer than 30 years... Section 538. A hire of immovable property is not enforceable by action unless there be some written evidence signed by the party liable. If the hire is for more than three years or for the life of the letter or hirer, it is enforceable only for three years unless it is made in writing and registered by the competent official. Section 539. Costs of a contract of hire are borne by both parties equally. Section 540. The duration of a hire of immovable property cannot exceed thirty years. If it is made for a longer period, such period shall be reduced to thirty years. The aforesaid period may be renewed, but it must not exceed thirty years from the time of renewal. Source-link HERE.

Sugar or fat, it's depending of your blood sugar, some gains weight from fat, others from sugar.

Where do gasohol savings come from in an electricity usage calculation..?

The airport opened in 1989 and is private owned, no government tax money has been used. You might be talking about the new terminal buildings that opened in 2008...????

The bridge is still a long-time on-going dream project, just like airport number 2. The latter is not possible due to separation between two airports; the island is simply too small. There are two transformer plants – which is, what is needed – at the two cable arrival spots. A mainly open air station at south in Taling Ngam and a quite large newer building at north in Maenam. They cam probably manage one more supply, as the high-power infrastructure is also connected to these two transformer-stations...???? Taling Ngam "sub-station"... Maenam PEA...

There are already several underwater high-voltage power-supply cables to the islands, but the increase of tourism and welfare in general makes the demand for further electricity higher – I hardly dare to think of all the electric cars coming to be charged, when the bridge project is finished... – at the moment a couple of cables comes in at the southern part of the island in Taling Ngam-district, and the latest heavy duty cable, which also feed Koh Phangan, comes in at north in Maenam...???? Not so many years ago – shortly before the already ordered, but still not installed Maenam-cable came – one of the supply-cables, the major one, broke and the island was literally without electric power for three days. We had one hour of electricity every 18 hours or so – with power-supply schedules were hanging on the doors in 7-Eleven shops – shifting between the districts and mainly generated by mobile 300kW trucks, which a lot of other provinces helped with sending some of to the island, so about 50 of them in total. People were physically fighting for the last flashlights in Tesco and like places, and obtaining batteries also became a problem...???? The image shows a generator truck, and the cable-layer ship for the last Mainland-Phangan-Maenam supply... But always look at the bright side of life: We had plenty of cosy candlelight dinners during the blackout...

Which works perfect in evening and night, when the island needs a lot of electricity...

Probably, just like the users of the airport instead of taxpayers... For many years the Samui paid for the mainland infrastructure in Surat Thani province, where the majority of voters are, while the tax-money came from Samui, so if the island finally gets something back, it might be fair...

Many Thai companies use servers in Singapore – when it happens that ASEAN NOW is down, the service provider says that my computer works, the network and servers in Singapore works, but the ASEAN NOW-site has a problem (could be reboot, or overloaded, or whatever). There are numerous hosting providers in Singapore with everything from a single web-hotel to virtual servers or real servers, or even parking your own physical server. You can for example try Contabo – "German quality with global availability" – link HERE. I've used the Munich serverpark for a number of years since the company's early days, today Contabo has datacenters worldwide...

It's depending of your immigration office. At some offices – probably most of them – the 90 date begins with first extension of stay and continue counting 90 days from last report; or 90 days from last entry stamp. Other offices resets the 90-days count with the annual extension of stay. In that case you should have a new slip stapled in your passport with the date for next 90 day address-report. When re-enter from abroad the 90-day report is reset to re-enter date. The immigration office I use is among this category...????
