Heard this to be a new requirement from next year to back up proof of valid bank account with letter of income for retirement extensions.

How does a photocopy of a debit/credit card achieve this ? do tell.

Oh, and Name Your Source.

Naka.

I understand that you need to have at least Bht 1,000.00 in the bank for them to issue an ATM. So there you go!

I believe it would give more credibility to this "new rule" if the source of the information was quoted. Don't believe everything you read in the press!

Try the "Elephant and Castle" just off the main drag (beach side) south of White Sands. Turn right at the top of the rise. Chelsea John.

Well, that's it. England sadly lost two World Championships in less than 24 hours.

Although, I believe we are still Dwyle Flonking World Champions.

I thought all the tissues would have been used up and the violin bow worn out by now.

..... as an impartial observer .............

:D :D

Sorry, I should have added:

"If Massa is leading with Raikkonen second"

I go for choice 2

My question is will Jomtien Immigration give me a hard time since I did not follow the 30 day requirement that lopburi3 speaks about above ?

The requirement is not 30 days before expiry but "up to 30 days before expiry". However, it is not advisable to leave it until the last minute (e.g. you may have inadvertently missed a document).

Was it this cat?

For your assistance:

The Chong Chom border crossing is approximately 70 km from Surin.

First question: Is it a Sony camera? They appear to supply software with which the DVD movies are not compatible. That's my very limited experience anyway.

Ten days ago, Elsie stated that there should be no more rain this month (October).

It's been pissing down ever since!

I was sure this question must have been asked, but after skimming back a few months.... nothing.

Simple question ... my Thai wife and I plan to go back to UK for a month's holiday. How much actual baht can be converted to pounds in Thailand and legally taken out of Thailand/per person.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure that this regulation still stands but:

Maximum of Bht 50,000 may be taken out of the Kingdom. Any Bht in excess of 50,000 must have the approval of the Ministry of Finance.

If you are changing Bht to Sterling in Thailand, then the equivalent of Bht 1,000,000 appears to be the maximum at the present time.

To be safe, check with your bank.

If you married a Thai and had the necessary documentation and finances, you could extend your multi-entry visa during the last month of it's validity. After receiving the extension (12 months) you are required to report to immigration every 90 days (not the police). There is no need to leave the country but if you do for any reason, you will need to obtain a "re-entry permit" from immigration before leaving the country.

I've used that site as a reference on a number of occasions. I find the problem is that the snakes around these parts appear to change colour (if not markings) as they mature, so a young one may be a different colour.

PS: Can someone amend the forum software spell checker to spell "colour" correctly?

Was told I need a wp to transfer money out or even to buy a draft. I was treated like a criminal trying to rob them.

I don't possess a w*rk permit, I am retired. But as I said it is my personal experience.

In my experience, you can transfer up to Bht 1,000,000.00 in one transaction. The money must be converted to foreign currency (in your case, Sterling) prior to sending. Bangkok Bank will do this as I guess will all the other well known banks.

Q2, do the fries come free ?.

:D :D

Finding a good therapist is a pot of luck.

I suppose I've been very lucky in this respect. I "found" my massuese five years ago and have been going to her ever since.

Any tips that you all can provide will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

There are some useful tips on Yorkie's website.

Sorry, I misread the OP. My excuse is that it's well after beer o'clock. I'll cease posting for the day now.

Pad Khapow Gai

Try using this as a basic recipe. As Jingthing says, you can add or mess with the ingredients to suit your own taste.

* 1/4 cup Vegetable oil

* 8 Cloves of garlic, crushed

* 8 Fresh green chilies

* 300 gm Chicken breast, sliced

* 2 Fresh red chilies sliced lengthwise

* 1 tblsp Oyster sauce

* 1/4 tsp Black soya sauce

* 1/2 tsp Fish sauce

* 1/3 cup Basil leaf

Heat the oil in a wok. Add the garlic and green chilies and fry for 1 minute. Fry the chicken in the same oil until almost cooked. Add the red chili, oyster sauce, fish sauce and soya sauce and cook for a few minutes. Add the basil leaves prior to serving.

If they are done correctly, they can be beneficial, IMO.

A few years ago, I suffered from sciatica which I described to my massuese. After a month (twice a week) of massage it appeared to have gone and it hasn't returned since.

Buy the way, how long does it take to get from Mahasarakham or Roi Et to Surin do you know?

Last time we went to Ubon ( 4 hours ) and flew to BKK from there.

Two to two and a half hours, Roi Et to Surin. You can fly from Buriram (Satuk) airport to BKK (F*t G*t has the schedule on his website, I think). Surin to Buriram airport about 1 hour.
