Do you have Mastercard or Union Pay? It might be something to do with that. -

Immigration. No more Residence Certificates.
phetphet replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
A friend got one about three weeks ago to open a bank account. If they are now free, then maybe that's why they have stopped issuing them. I will go back in a couple of weeks and tell them I need one to open a bank account and see what they say. They at least can't tell me to go to the Transport Office. -

Its always been THB500 for as long as I can remember. My GF reckons I should contact the main office in Surat Thani and ask them where to get one if Samui Imm no longer do them. ???? -

I don't have a work permit as am on a retirement extension. Have bought and sold about seven motorbikes over the years. Always used the photocopy of our building's Blue Book. I wouldn't mind if they gave correct advice, but going all the way from Immigration to Lipa Noi, then back to the Tessaban, then all the way back to Bangrak. All for nothing is a PITA. -

I needed one to change the name on my motorbike. To do that a Residebce Certificate has always been needed Today I was told by Immigration that they will no longer issue them. Told me to go to Transport Office. Transport Office told me they can only issue to someone with a Pink Card and Yellow Book, and to go to the Tessaban. Tessaban told me they cannot do it unless I have a Yellow book. I only have a copy of the Blue Book for our building. My name is not in it. Taken me all afternoon to basically get nowhere. A friend got one at Immigration to open a bank account about three weeks ago. It seems they have since stopped. Maybe they have been overwhelmed by all the new long stayers buying cars, motorbikes and opening bank accounts, and decided it is too much hassle. Or maybe all this "grey Chinese" stuff in the news is causing too much heat. Who knows? But buying or selling a car or motorbike, or opening a bank account for retirement Non 'O' just seems to have got a whole lot more difficult. Can anyone advise the drawbacks of having a Yellow Book and Pink Card? I recall there are a few. Including Your driving licences will in future all be in Thai language. -

Update to my original post. Just left Transport Office. Was told they can only issue Residence Certificate to Pink Card holders with Yellow Book. I need to go to the Tessaban. Don’t know what those who wish to open a bank account will need to do. -
German Man Charged With Theft After Taking Russian Woman’s Sunglasses
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
I like the way that in that photo, not only is she pointing at a pair of sunglasses, but they have put a red box around them. Is that to show what they look like? Or to distract us from the fact they have put her passport ID on show? I wonder. As an aside, Alistair McQueen (MCQ) designer sunglasses can easily cost way over $1000. -

A good place in Koh Samui to rent a motor bike from?
phetphet replied to Eddie45's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
If you arrive Samui at Seatran Pier, turn left towards Big Buddha, about 50-100 yards turn right into the road to the airport. About 100 yards on the right is Pat Bikes (opposite Sunset Inn). Under five minutes walk from the Seatran Pier. -
Don't know if this has been mentioned, as I haven't read the whole thread, but something else to consider seeing you are travelling a lot: Will they give your visa or extension straight away? I renewed my extension last month here in Samui and was told to return to collect my passport eight days later.

it depends on the safe. I have managed to put my laptop in some hotel safes, in others it won't fit. My 11" ipad normally fits OK. They are not really secure, but apart from carrying it all day, what can one do? The only thing I have thought of is to take a photo of the computer and other contents in the safe as proof that they were indeed put there. Most theft from hotel safes is usually staff.

BTW. ICYDK some Netspeak abbreviations can convey some similar feelings. If you stop them too, I will be thinking to myself HS! <deleted>! I won't know whether to ROTFL or CMEO. Anyway . GTG. HAND.

Nearest I could come up with was CD-Oph Eye drops Sterile.

Google Eye drops, then click on images. You might find it there. To be honest, if I were you, I would change clinic. I see you might already be going there, but I can highly recommend Rutnin Eye Hospital. As it says on the tin, they only do eyes. Where better to go? Will probably be cheaper than Bumrungrad too.
