I have also not had problems using a US foreign currency account for extension at Jomtien Immigration.

I transfer money from the USA into a US$ account here in Thailand and convert it as needed or on a good exchange day.

This is not fog, it is smog. I couldn't see the islands for days before the rain. The rain did help a little. 

Time to control burning in Thailand.

It looks like they will extend it. Dongtan Beach was closed to everyone at 5 PM on Sunday and today no one was allowed on the beach. 

If you want to help soi dogs adopt them and take them home. People should quit dropping them off at the tempes expecting someone else to take care of them. It is not the temples responsibility. People should also quit feeding the dogs in someone elses neighborhood when it it becomes a problem. Abandoned dogs are a big problem and create a big problem. 

When they start talking about money I drop them...

I have been here 21 years. Is it really possible than she could 560,000 debt? I do not think it is possible. Banks do not lend money on unsecured credit.

The debt is her problem not yours. You probably haven't seen the support for the debt. Just tell her you cannot pay the debt. If she still likes you enjoy, if not find another.

Boys in Brown. The police.

You should address this question to the local immigration office. Chonburi Immigration on Soi 5 in Jomtien said that 50% of the monies in a joint account would be accepted for visa extensions.

I think it is definitely psychologically harmful. How you feel if you were chained to a tree. Put yourself in his place. Would you feel the it was OK.

And shoot the soi dogs.

Let's just re-locate (re-accommodate) the soi dogs to "the farm".

I keep funds in Bangkok Bank in a foreign currency account and convert to Thai baht as I need it or when the exchange is high(er).

I have extended my retirement visa two times using the funds in the foreign currency account. I get the required letter from the bank. The Chonburi Immigration has not given me problems in accepting the foreign currency account.

The boys should have called the police right then. To bad the shop woman didn't call them.

He is probably lucky they didn't practice muay thai.

The police should make an example of this cab driver. His license should be publicly rescinded, he should be publicly whipped. His action is inexcusable.

the only way to curb the death rate something like 24,000 killed each year, is for tough traffic enforcement, and to catch the riders at an early age, on their journeys to and from school, seize bikes and keep for a period of time.

 

i also see foreigners who have adapted to the Thai way of riding m/cycles, no helmet, more than 2 on a bike squeezing between 2 moving vehicle, becoming the meat in a sandwich, must of left their brain at the airport immigration counter.

I had 3 kids pass me on a motorbike on the right side. I had been on the line signaling a right turn and waiting for traffic to pass so I could turn. Fortunately I saw them passing in my rear view mirror. There was plenty of room on the left side to pass. Now I have a dash cam.

I probably would yell "get up" and if they didn't I'd give them 2 fists to their kidneys. I'm 80 years old and deserve some respect. I no long need to be a gentlemen.

He was at the airport on his way to Australia. Australia had issued the red notice. Thailand should have let him to to Australia and alert the Australian authorities he was on his was. Bahrain would have not become involved with Thailand.

It is best to consult an attorney. It is unlikely the land office will register a condo in both a foreign and Thai name. Probably either one or the other. I believe a condo purchased in the foreign quota will be easier to sell. Banks will not make loans to foreign persons.

I order Doi Chang 100% French Arabica from Lazada. It comes in 250G Packages. The more you order the cheaper it is. They offer a 2 bags. one of French and one Vienna for 300 Baht. All of my friends like the French roast (darkness 5/5). The Vienna is 4/5.

I hope they limit the transactions to one each vehicle some someone does not come in with 30 or more passports. I've seen that happen in Pattaya.

I would buy it solely in your name. My Thai partner bought a condo. wanted to put my name jointly and was told it cannot be purchased in Thai/Farang name. Best to ask the land office. That might solve your problem.

Why not take the change to the bank or perhaps the office would like the change in exchange for paper notes. If you leave it consider leaving a note for her that she may keep it. The office in my building is always ready to change 1,000 for smaller bills or coins.
