whatproblem

I would put water and sand down then use fake grass ,a bit more expensive to start but in the long run will be cheaper and always looks good ,feels good on the feet too,any you not need to buy a lawn mower

It's just another way to gouge money so go do a tm30 /28 today ,cheaper in the long run

You can rent a  p o box at post office for 500 baht a year can't you use that

It's three years away, but something to bear in mind just in case you are planning to take some of that money (£20 notes), back to the UK sometime in the future.

 

The UK is in the process of changing their paper bank notes over to polymer ones. £10 next year and £20 in 2020.

 

Just in case you arrive in the UK with a wad of twentys, and find you can't spend them without a visit to the Bank of England.

 

Forewarned is forearmed.

 

 

Thanks for that information

Live in the UK then let down all the time by so called trades. Everywhere you look there's fly tipping and the streets are filthy. Schools don't teach kids how to be clean nor do most patents so please stop the Thai this thai that really a well used  phrase if you really don't like the place you call home move to another home.

Not where I'm from in the uk ,and very rarely does a tradesman let me down there,but here they want holiday before they start a job

Am planning on retiring to Thailand next year and was hoping to live in "our" house (if the loan sharks haven't already foreclosed on it).  May still do it and play the cheap-charlie thing to see how long "love you forever" lasts in Thailand. 

I told my friend to play the cheap Charlie ,then can see if she loves him true ,after 2/3 days he went buying her some gold and when he went back to uk he sent her money,my friend not have money and not good job ,one month he short of money ,he gf went of with another guy that month .if I look new ladies I always cheap Charlie now

More comments needed on the excellence of Pizza Company products.

Crap pizzas ,homemade far more good 

Don't be a pussy ,if your date brings friends tell them to go ,when it's bed time she won't let her friends in ,I'm talking girls .

Yes ,but every year they want more papers and like to add a surprise paper that you have to try and get ,last year I needed a letter from my child's teacher but not this year 

I too enjoyed my 4 1/2 hours wait while people were allowed to jump the queue

I cancelled my true ,I miss it a bit but it's only good for 3 months then it repeats and repeats and repeats 

Put everything in your name or your children's but have a contract first ,live somewhere that is pleasant for you and not wife's choice because she can find Thai friends easier than you find friends ,don't live in the middle of nowhere and not buy some place untill you have lived there or about for 2. years.think about visas before commit to a place to live ,if rent get landlord to give copy ID card first and signed and you want tabien Baan book .if things are happy for you ,you can make wife and kids happy ,don't become a alcoholic like many farang because they are bored and only drink ,

Statistically, there's the same proportion of stupid Thais as there are stupid Americans. Therefore, there exist Thais supporting Trump. QED.

Not believe most Thais are stupid and only half the yanks are 

Don't be like the Thais,be honourable and pay ,think how you would feel if they when in to you ,I know happened to me 3 weeks ago ,the guy tried to blame me but a garage had CCTV,I still waiting insurance give the go ahead

Edge your bet and send 1/2 what you normally do ,I will wait myself ,when the Europeans wake up they will leave too .

I don't know about now but about 2/3 years ago I was told can't use a debit card only a credit card ,I got my sisters card to use in the end

Not the RN

But did have the  pleasure  of a couple of trips on  HMAS Sydney back in the good old days of my early man hood  

It was an eye opener

So it was a pleasure for you

I was told by a man once that if you go in the armed forces ,go the navy because the captain of the ship will be there with you and not 20 km away

Yeah sounds similar to what I do.  No sugar in the house but I do use honey in coffee sometimes smoothies.  Pizza I don't bother making.  My buddies shop Bronx Pizza could compete with some of the best thin crust pizzas in Jersey or NYC! 

I have to make pizzas for my son sometimes ,if I make alone I know what's in them plus I think they taste better than the ones I can buy here ,my son has to eat school food but at home I know he eats good food 

I cook most my food Thai style with a healthier twist ,I never add sugar or msg but I use honey ,I use olive oil mostly ,I say 90% Thai food ,I make pizzas sometimes ,I not really eat out much ,

Cannot buy what ?

Extension of time on AIS ,can get transfer of time from friend but not buy it same you can with dtac

I know with Dtac and probably AIS you can buy an extension of validity. Very cheap. Why would they keep a number alive if they don't know if you will ever use it again? There are a limited amount of numbers.

 

Probably a good idea to learn your options.

Cannot buy on AIS

UK visit visa refusals no longer have the right of appeal; haven't for some time.

 

The guy outside VFS was definitely trying his luck. Visa application results are treated as strictly confidential; they actually come under the Data Protection Act. Passports and the decision are returned to VFS in sealed envelopes. No one outside the entry clearance office at the embassy knows the result until that envelope is opened by the applicant or their appointed representative.

You may be right but the original visa was denied and the guy was right in that case ,i thought that their decision was so bad and their excuse was that they thought it was not true marriage even though I had been married and living with wife in Thailand for 7 years ,with a child of 4 years ,I was registered at our address with embassy ,my child was registered etc, but this guy knew the visa was denied. It makes you think ,especially in the land of scams

I appealed on behalf of my wife and 3 days before the hearing that was in Leicester I was phoned to say they had reconsidered and the visa was granted ,this was only a tourist visa and outside the vfc the guy knew my wife had been refused before we received the papers and said he could get it for 12,000 baht,maybe he was just trying his luck .

And the ladies tell him he's handsome
