That's what I'll be doing. No way I'm going to queue for 90 minutes just to pick up PP.

Next month I'm going to need to get a letter of residence. Does that mean I have to queue again for an hour or two, only to see someone immediately I walk in?

What online video certificate and pass?

Had to do my yearly retirement renewal, so got there at 9.45 and was let in at 11.15 so a 90 minute queue. What makes no sense is that there was no one waiting at the retirement counter, so not sure what the other 100 or so people were there for. Fortunately I got seen to immediately and was out the door by 11.25 otherwise I would have had to wait while they lunched from 11.30 until 1.00. Surely they could make some kind of system where you queue in an appropriate line rather than make you wait unecessarily, or does that make too much sense?

Anyone renewed a 5 year licence at Pattaya recently? Wondering what they require besides passport and old licence? Somebody said that you need letter of residence plus a doctors letter. Pretty sure I never had to provide either of those things the two times I renewed previously.

What is available on the Firestick? Does it need a VPN and does it come with everything preloaded? I already have a Smart TV that comes with things like Netflix, but you still need a subscription, so I'm only interested in free content.

Don't buy the Roku whatever you do. Absolutely useless in Thailand.

20,000 baht was the monthly amount,that works out at around A$200 a week. That clear enough for you?

The first two episodes drew me in, but IMO it's all been downhill since then. Suffered it through until Ep.4 then gave it away.

Depends on what area you want to live. There are some older villages on the Dark Side that might have what you're looking for, but be expected to do a lot of fixing up. If you want to live in a village in the country 800K would easily buy or build a house.

When was the last time a mass shooting happened in London?

One of the best this year by far.

What figures exactly? That 20K baht equals A$800?

You seem a bit slow. I have already said 3 times that the 20K I give my partner for housekeeping each month still covers all our basic expenses like food, electric and water, and has done for 13 year Now whether bottled gas has gone up 20 baht a bottle or water costs an extra 50 baht a month, I don't care, the 20K still covers it. Perhaps for those living on the smell of an oily rag those increases are significant.

Ooh, a retort that Oscar would be proud of.

You'll make a lovely couple.

I do know that the 20K still covers all the same things it did 13 years ago. Fact. Try to see how far 20K (about A$200 a week) goes in Australia for two people.

Exactly. I started giving my Thai partner 20K baht a month 13 years ago to pay for food, water and electric. I still give her 20K baht a month and if anything we eat better now than then. I have offered many times to increase the amount, but she always refuses and tells me if she runs short she'll let me know. So if the cost of living has increased, it's negligible.

We are not talking about Australia but the US.

But were the girls underage or not?

This was 12 years ago after I first moved. The payments have been regular since then.

My pension payments, what else?

That wasn't my experience with C'Link. I told the lady I was leaving to live in Thailand, and she immediately said with what I can only describe as glee, "you know your payments will stop once you move to Thailand". I told her I'd been in touch with their international branch in Hobart and know her statement was false and she better check before she tells anyone else that lie. She had her nose put out of joint, and guess what? My first payment was stopped when I moved, so I rang Hobart, told them the story and they immediately reinstated me. So you couldn't convince me that she didn't stop that payment out of spite.

I just went on what Sanuk said that both parts were available.

I see part 1, but not part 2.
