Hahahahaha The best option, I find, is never post if you've recently had a drink!

I agree

Funny but really for some of us "volume posters" (ha ha) mistakes happen without the aid of recreational substances.

i do appologise to you as you are a "volume ..........

'

Hahahahaha The best option, I find, is never post if you've recently had a drink!

I agree

I do not think selling food is a profession that a farang can do.

If it is a foreign woman married to a Thai man, I think that they can do anything that a Thai can do once they become a citizen.

To be honest i have seen her a few times. Never knew her profesion. She speaks thai just like a thai, dresses like one and acts like one. identical apart from the look. I guess she is a resident here or maybe even have a thai passport. Maybe she prefers to live a simple life. fair play to her i say.

I would say from your description that she is not a farang. There are many Thais whose mother or farther are farang but the children are Thai citizens

Handing over your passport could result to identity fraud if given to the wrong individual. Number. Name, DOB, Where issued, Place of birth, Date of issue date of expiry. How many times do we as travellers have to fill in these details. All on a passport you have left with a motorcycle hiree. This person can then give any address. as there are no checks made. Be very scared if handing over your passport

Another Gemini It is good to be a twin isn't.

Private Dancer This is a good book for any newbies to Thailand. It is very written by using individual views. Fiction but close to truth for some.

In Australia the ANZ charge 3% fee if the trader is an overseas company. I received a refund for my GST from Australian Customs. When it was refunded to my ANZ card there was a charge of 3% for international foreign echange fee. I could not understand how I could be charged this fee from an Australian Government department. The end result is that they have outsourced this to a company that is based overseas. The final result was that ANZ had given me a credit instead of a debit.

When they have 10% service charge zero tip.

Does that mean if there is no service charge you only give a 10% tip?

I normally give around 20/25% if service and food were good.

If the service is poor then zero. If it is good maybe more than 10% I do not like giving a tip if one is already factored into the final price.

When they have 10% service charge zero tip.

North Melborne almost gave Gold Coast their first win this season. Norths are not playing well.

Richmond also came close to losing.

Swans back to 4th on the ladder...but only game out from the top and with a great percentage!

I missed the Richmond game due to travelling. When I got home Gold Coast were in fromt.

It was good to see that Swans were on top last week for 2 day. They were also on top after week one. Good to have some bragging rights

North Melborne almost gave Gold Coast their first win this season. Norths are not playing well.

I parked there for 3.25 days. I was charge 150 Baht per day. The result was 600 baht. attendant told GF that 150 per day and no part days after the first day.

So they will have set up an international terminal at DM. Where will the Immigration and Customs staff come from. They will have to reduce the number at Swampy to set up DM as an international. This may in the short term cause more hold ups at Swampy

Did they demolish the International (No.1) Terminal at Don Muang?

I was mainly refering to the staff as there are no immigration or customs there now.

This is a little off topic. The biggest type of queue jumpers of sort are motorcycle riders. Why do they have to weave through traffic to be ahead of all cars. I hvae seen some so close to car it is crazy.

Because our acceleration is WAY faster...

Not the ones where I live

My tips for this week. West Coast

Adelaide

Richmond

North Melbourne

Hawthorn

Western Bulldogs

I think if there is an upset the Port Adelaide may do it.

Off to Bangkok tomorrow fro 3 days. Got to go to the embassy.

If you have made a decision to leave why do you need TV members to justify it for you.

I have been waiting for plates for 2 months. We were not even given red plates. Have a letter from dealer but have not been stoped by police. Even travelled from Phayao to Mae Sai through police checks but just waved on.

Letter from a dealer is useless.

If he doesn't do as advised maybe he will come on let us know how much the fine was if he does end up getting pulled.

When iI do I will. Been onto the dealer again today and waiting for phone call back. We have to drive to Chiang Rai on Wednesday. We return on Saturday so I will probably be letting you know on Sundy

You have to swear a stat dec. They have copies there that you fill in the details. If divorced you have to show your divorce papers. If died they need to see a death certificate. If never married you need to give two referees names addresses and telephone numbers

Right - all the info is on the Australian Embassy site in BKK under the '

Services for Australians' section

As far as the translation and processing section is concerned - I was going to do myself but walked up to Wireless road and the first translation service on the right did all (including the certification by consular affairs ) for 2200 Baht inclusive , which included sending the documents to Chiang Rai- very efficient - saved me heaps of time and meant I did not have to hang around BKK which I hate.

I tried 3 translators and the others were above 5000 baht

Do you remember the actual name of this place. I will be going to the embassy on Wednesday.
