So they remove the exemption, but at the same time are unable to activate it, so the only way to access your accounts will be visiting the branch.

Did I understand that correct?

I visited an SCB branch today and then had to wait for a return phone call.

Basically if you need to transfer an amount over 49900 baht you need to ring them before you do it. They will then send it to some committee to decide the outcome, then inform you by msg. You will then have only 1 hour to transfer the funds.

Bike is short for bicycle.  Which is the Latin for 2 wheels (that's tongue in cheek).  It was a quad, but it certainly wasn't a bike.

 

We refer to them as quad ATV's.

 

I don't know where the 'we' you refer to come from, but where I come from they are called "quad bikes"

Talk about being brain washed from birth.

I never understand why Thais like interlocking pavers for sidewalks (pavements). They look beautiful then a cement truck comes along fully loaded and wants to park to go in the 7/11, so drives over the kerb and ruins all the overlocking pavers. So that instead of a nice smooth pavement, you have a trap to trip over and smash your head on the pavement. 

Interlocking pavers can actually carry quite a heavy load if installed correctly on a properly formed base layer. I have seen them used on military bases that have tanks, and they hold up better than ashphalt or concrete.

The useless git will probably blame it all on Farangs.

I use send.com to send money every month.

Mobile or website app and you get the rate quoted with no fees taken out.

I had my visit in August and the immi officers only sat on verandah, never asked to look in the house. They wanted 2 x neighbours to come with ID and verify I lived there. 

Another group photo in front of the house and repeated again 2 weeks later.

(Refused their offer of help for 2k THB, so I don't think they liked us anymore :))

I had a similiar experience sending registered mail. Tracking stopped at Swampy.

I  had to get onto the addressee to see if it had arrived.

Took about 10 days to get there.

Kindle users have a look at "Book Bub". It sends you a daily email of free ebooks (or specials) available on Amazon. You can select the genre you want to receive and if interested click on the title, and it takes you to Amazon to get it. 

Admittedly though, some of the ebooks are not worth reading. I just delete it and open another from my library.

Yes, but so happy the wee man has left. Pity they didn't open an emergency exit and shove him out without a parachute!

The board is under pressure to reduce his payout.

Been getting a few good downpours in Phetchabun.

Travelled from Nong Khai to Phetchabun through Loei and passed an area that builds houses using recycled timber. There were quite a few areas with stored timber and partly built houses.

Not sure of the exact area but we travelled from Nong Khai on Drive from Route 211, นค.3041, Route 2020, Route 2098.

Probably a bit far from Pai, but might be worth a drive

Correct. 

Thanks Dr Jack

So if I have a new 12month Multi entry Non O spouse visa issued from an Embassy I will only need to purchase a 30 day covid insurance policy? Is this correct?

Thanks TSF,

Parents are dead, but took your advice and just put a couple of sisters down.

Cheers

Thanks TSF.

Really don't want to have to put in all the family as I have 10 brothers and sisters...lol.

Maybe I could put a few of them.

Hi,

Applying for a tourist visa for my wife to visit Oz with me next year.

On application for sub class 600 visa Q. 27 asked do you have any relatives in Australia?

Does this mean any blood relatives of hers ...which she doesn't, or does it mean relatives from marriage..i.e. any of my family as they are relatives by marriage?

Bit confused by this as can't find any answer to this question online.

Speeding, texting or DUI.  

Plowing into the back of a slow moving vehicle requires some effort.  
Collectively speaking, all of us on here have driven millions of miles in various countries driving various types of vehicles.
Raise your hand if you've ever plowed into the back of a parked/slow moving truck at night.  
IF you did, please admit if you were speeding, texting or drunk.  

 

 

I'll raise my hand. When I was young I did exactly that. Unlit winding highway in Australia and was blinded by an oncoming bus and plowed into the back of an old farm truck carrying tomatoes. Truck had no lights on the back. i wasn't speeding, drunk or on drugs! Luckily not hurt, but the car was mess.

Hi T.

 

I meant valleys, not gutters.

 

The valleys are too narrow allowing rainwater to flow back under the tiles and the valleys.

I had the same problems with my valleys overflowing inside the roof, I solved the problem by filling in the valleys with a special flexible cement...around 2,000 thb a bag...problem solved.

I believe that there is a recommended use by date on tyres. Not sure about bike tyres, but cars it is five or six years from manufacture date depending on the site you read..

Hi,

Does anyone know where to buy citrus/orange oil concentrate (d-limonene) in Thailand?

I believe it is good to use on red ant nests.

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. This was from earlier in the year. As it was only for my storage shed decided to let the builder use it. If for the main consumer unit in the house I wouldn't have used it.

Who would have thought MILK,pure and simple would warrant

such fervent debate, we have had spelling mistakes,spelling police,

snide jokes,funny videos,posters promoting their favourite brand of 

milk, and that's what it is all about personal choice,viva la difference.

 

I hope I have made no spelling mistakes in this post,the spelling police

who seem to have nothing better to do than troll the posts,searching

for the smallest mistakes,so they can comment,suppose it must make

them think they are superior,to mere mortals.amen.
