Is cannabis legal for foreigners in Thailand? Know the rules
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Walk into any bar and not onlycanyou smell the weed everyone who smokes it ends up passing it around it’s going to be extremely difficult to close the industry down to many involved in the growing and distribution of it the only thing I see is the price has drastically come down for a spliff or two -
Pink Id card for foreigners
crazykopite replied to Enquiry123's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes I’ve used it at my local police station no questions asked and although I had my passport in my pocket they were happy with my pink card although I’m sure if they wanted to check with the IO they could as it’s more or less next door -
Pink Id card for foreigners
crazykopite replied to Enquiry123's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I use it in Bangkok although I live some 800 kilometres away I use it when I fly internally or when I stay in hotels . I purchased a vehicle for over 1 million baht no questions asked using my pink card ! -
Pink Id card for foreigners
crazykopite replied to Enquiry123's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
In my case it was pretty easy as I own a property it took all of 30 minutes and yes I took a Thai friend with me that was 8 years ago cost 200 baht I use it for internal flights checking into hotels purchasing vehicles I even get discount from my dentist so it’s worth having due to my age I don’t have to renew it Happy Days ! -
From experience I can tell you yes but only if it’s a joint account if it’s in your name only it’s very difficult one lawyer suggested that you give your partner the card number and tell them to withdraw all the funds asap this illegal otherwise it’s a long drawn out process that involves going to court to gain permission get a Thai will drawn up it may help and although I was the executor named in the will it still has to go to court the account was in the Bangkok Bank

Spread the word! More Brits in Thailand can now vote in the UK
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I will vote for the party who confirm they will unfreeze my OAP at the moment I lose 2,000 baht per week and in April it will be even more otherwise I won’t bother wasting my time and energy -
Please explain your reasoning I’m not a fugitive criminal have lived in the Kingdom for nearly 20 years and have invested in property during that time period to get a pink card is not simple you have to have certain documents maybe you know all these so called fugitives and criminals to come up with such accusations

Prison officials say Thaksin eligible for parole
crazykopite replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That was always the deal otherwise he would never have come back to Thailand his sister will be back by the end of the year my question is what deal has he and his party put together that the unelected senators will keep there posts when there supposed term of office comes to an end in March of the year ! -
This tells us who is running the show the very sick man holed up in luxury in the police hospital . The good people of Thailand have been well and truly shafted by his unelected party . No doubt the unelected senators have been told they will remain in post after March 2024 when there term in office was meant to end .

Make your own Will if it’s simple and have it signed all at the same time you and two independent witnesses ,the witnesses cannot not be related ie husband and wife time and date under each signature then if you want have it translated into Thai if you don’t want to do that then you can have one drawn up for about 3,000 bht if it’s more complicated then it would be more costly you can then deposit it at your local Tassaban if you want as they say in Thailand “Up To You” I’ve already started giving my grandkids my money as your allowed to gift so much per year plus it saves any squabbling when your will is presented to them

I have just been involved in a cremation and having ashes returned to the U.K. cremation was simple enough your embassy would contact one of your family NOK to inform them of your demise if you died in hospital it’s a lot easier however if you die at home then the police get involved and to be honest it’s a pain in the back side that’s what happened to my friend he died at home so the police were involved so try die in hospital if you can as they organise everything even contacting your embassy to have ashes returned to the U.K. the following have to be with them 1 passport of deceased 2 death certificate best to have both Thai and English 3 cremation certificate issued by the monk at the temple where cremation took place i haven't got a clue as to what the transport cost was as the family arranged and paid for that all I did was hand over the bones which I placed in a large Tupperware type container with lid the weight was 3.5 Kg it would be cheaper if someone was to take the ashes back with them the rule is they must be in you carry on luggage not . in your suitcase that goes in the hold I don’t know the reason . When I die I have a friend who will take care of my funeral then when I’m burnt and my ashes are put in the sea only then will people know that I’ve gone to a better place I’ve already made wills and a short video with Frank singing I did it my way !

How convenient that tge police hospital has a broken cctv and it’s been broken for several years . And those who visited the hospital were not allowed to see the patient as a government minister I would of thought they would be allowed to have a chat to make sure that he was being looked after properly This whole thing is pure BS and of course they new of the visit so it was well planned to have both police and prison guards to watch over what could be an empty room . In my humble opinion I wouldn’t be surprised if he was sitting at home speaking daily to his stand in PM and come next month he will make a miracle recovery so much so that he will be going morning jogs in his local park
