Why would someone from Isaan move to Pattaya to work at a Family Mart?

Because there is no work in the village ?

aren't any Family marts closer to her village than Pattaya?

If she was a bar girl and gave it up to work in a Family mart, should not be a negative but a positive.

Any way this Op is loaded with tasty morsels for as to chew on, especially the part where the mother calls and ask for money

via western union all the time.

Me thinks this is a Troll post, what you think?

I agree. The Weston Union transfer I think is the giveaway. Most Thais use ATM transfers. The OP did resond once. I think they are learning from previous threads Trolling.

Insurance companies are reviewing their cover ... we looked at changing but the new company didn't cover earthquake so we stayed as we were. Two companies come to mind AIG ...which I think is now Chartis and AIS. I found that earthquake cover could be got at an increased price ,,, so read the small print very carefully.

SCB have declined to renew our builings insurance in Bangkok. They quoted that they have moved out of that market following the floods (not that our house was affected). Any recommendations?

Also does anyone know of am insurance company that will cover a wooden house upcountry? One of those small teak pre-assembled jobs.

Thanks.

I eventually got mine through Tesco Lotus. They use Chartis. I noticed that they would insure a wooden house but the premium was about 2.5 times what the concrete houses were.

Have a talk to your neighbours they may be able to give you an idea.

In the village there is not much English. The locals love it when I learn a new words and practice them. My wife always trying to teach me new words.

In the village where I live the smile is alive

I bought a new car early April. I am still waiting. Dealer told my wife yesterday it may take 120 days. This is up north.

Buy it when you get here. The exchange rate in Australia is very poor. When you get to the airport in Thailand just change enough currency to see you through until you can exchange at a bank or money changer. Do not excahange at your hotel they have a very poor exchange rate.

Well, time for an update. I'm back a few weeks now and figure I'd pass on a happy ending. Just when I thought everything was gonna go to hell, the landlord interceded with the water company and got them to not pull the meter. She figured it was probably her pipes causing the problem and had a repairman come out n replace them the week before I arrived. She also paid the bill and then had the water turned back on. So... she ate the 9K bill on her own and didn't make a stink about it. She is part of a bigger Thai family that own a few properties and own a well-known company in town. It's not like they wouldn't have been able to afford the payment, and not like the pipes to a building they own were their responsibility, but I know she could have chosen otherwise. I have a feeling that the initial shock at the bill had her worried about dealing with the whole accounting of the thing, but fortunately, she's a good lady and she's in my corner. I have thanked her profusely.

As I type this, it's kind of funny to have to thank someon for taking care of what they should take care of anyway, but given the country we're in and how easy it is to create a boondoggle, I am thankful. This is the good side of TIT.

This is great news. It is good that your landlord is a caring person and prepared to help.

Never been called that .

Thanks

I took the original info from here:

http://chiangmaiimm.com/en/-90-.html

which is apparently the English part of the website - but - err - in Thai.

4. คนต่างด้าวสามารถแจ้งที่พักอาศัยได้ ก่อนหรือหลัง 7 วัน นับจากวันครบกําหนด หากเกินกําหนดนัด หรือเกินกําหนดที่จะต้อง แจ้งคนต่างด้าวต้องมารายงานตัวด้วยตนเองเพื่อดําเนินการเปรียบเทียบปรับ

- here, there is only a mention of a 7 day before and after window (according to the wife).

hence my being slightly (well - very!) confused.

Very old information. Look at the date Written by Administrator Sunday, 13 November 2011 09:23

Carry it is very sad but reading what you have posted it appears that you are very strong. Always remember that your husband lives in your child. As previously posted the TV community is here for you.

It does not reset - it starts the first count as you do not report unless you extend your stay.

OK thanks. Also (again, just out of curiosity), what's the reasoning behind leaving and re-entering the country starting the clock again? And, to be clear, I know it's because that's the rule set by immigration, my question is why is this the rule - if anyone knows...???

The Immigration department have made this a part of their legislation. To find out what there reasoning is they would have to explain.

Have you imported goods into Australia before?

I have been trading goods for a couple of decades now around the world and many years ago I was in the diplomatic corp ad trade advisor for overseas businesses wanting to trade with Australia.

But in this case, the client is handling all and is only after a FOB price.

I hope your client is aware of the importing requirements of Australia

This is on their website in FAQ

. Question : What is the punishment in case of late/not notifying of residence every 90 days ?

Mostly planes take off towards the South and land towards the North, but if there are different and strong winds that this can be reversed.

Departures to the North are usually to de-conflict outbound and inbound traffic rather than anything to do with the wind.

Where did you get that information?

The bigest factor is wind. Have a look at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern
