Yeah, getting ED visas isn't an issue for uni students (even back-to-back).

Private language school to study Thai is I believe 1 year only. However, I have no idea if you can, for example, get two 1-year ED visas (not back-to-back), in a period of 5 years. 

 

@UKJASE 
Is it a uni or private Thai language school?

 

 Private thai language school mate

i am on my third year student visa - which i feel may be the maximum i could have had

Which Immigration Office did you go and do you go to a formal university or a non formal language school? What are the fees?

i went hua hin mate.  A language school......

was 25 k to the school and 12 k for the visa

hua hin for me......  pattaya and bangkok have better nightlife, but BKK is overpriced, and patts is oversexed ????

samui and phuket too faraway in normal times, and too dead in current times

i got my third ED visa in April, and this was achieved without leaving the country

My immigration office was very helpful

i love a story with a happy ending

I got a question what the hell has serving alcohol got to do with the virus? Anybody Know.?Rcan serve food but not alcohol that would be a stupid rule if i ever saw one

i think it is because people will sit and socialise a lot longer if alchol is available....  and therefore more chances to transmit the virus

last week at ban kun por beer was available and it was quite busy

now beer is not available this week, and it is very quiet

 

my friend was granted a thai visa in vientienne about four weeks ago.  his visa was granted due to medical issues i believe

good luck OP - i hope you can get one

I am getting the exact same screen that the OP is getting, but i am using Chrome.  It started to show on sunday and then i am still getting it on monday.  I just tried Edge browser and it works fine with that, but hopefully kasikorn will fix it soon so it works on all browsers

i tried running ccleaner, but that hasnt helped

try searching for groups that dedicated to your area......  ie put "hua hin" into the search box and it will show you all the hua hin groups.... many of them will be marketplace style groups

or type in "musical instruments" and it will show all groups related to that subject

hua hin was rammed this weekend too

they had parking at hua hin airport at the start of this year when i was there.  was 100 baht a day if i remember right

lots of grass seed on here @bankruatsteve - https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?spm=a2o4m.searchlistcategory.search.1.62dc7b9dhkqHPx&q=garden grass seed&_keyori=ss&clickTrackInfo=textId--9022649786048329010__abId--154857__pvid--300cf304-c61b-40e3-ba95-a38563569479&from=suggest_normal&sugg=garden grass seed_0_1

3 lawn areas in all - totalling about 400 m2 @baansgr

i know those weeds u mean @bankruatsteve they are killers!  difficult to get out too.  does your mrs pull them out by hand?  no weedkillers or secret thai potions used?

i love a good lawn - just such hard work

plenty of grass seed on lazada, and some of it may have 70 odd reviews, with 80% being positive

i guess the sod guys must grow from seed......  so it must be possible if you know what your doing

my sods i laid have let me down now (although they lasted a few years) so i am thinking that maybe seed will take better and be tougher and last longer

has no one had good luck here with seed, and can point me in the direction of a good bag of seeds?

Yeah, seeding is easiest, spike the bald

patches thoroughly, a thin layer of peat

on top, spread a little nitrogen based lawn

food. Then spread plenty of seeds,

Keep the dirt damp all the time, and just

wait.

In future, don't cut yer grass too short mate.

any receommendations where to get good seeds talahtnut?

the front and back garden both need patching up. and are quite big, so i will need quite a lot i guess

Our lawn has taken a battering over the dry season.  the well dried up, and the lawn didnt get much water.  now the rains have come, but the grass has not reapperared, so i guess it is dead.

Anyone give any advice / tips on repairing the bald areas please?  i looked at grass seeds on lazada, and they go for about 1000 baht a kilo or something, which seems pricey, but i guess that will cover a large area.  Lots of products had good reviews from farangs and thais.

Any advice guys?  i dont really want to buy turf and put that down again, as it was a tough job and will probably need me to put more top soil down first.  Sprinkling a few seeds sounds more like a pleasant and easy task ????

Any one repaired their lawn lately?  how did you get on?

i bet traffic accidents are down over the last few months

can restaurants charge a little more for their Grab / Panda menus so as to cover the high 30% delivery costs, or do grab/panda check up that prices are the same as the walk in prices?  i heard that they did...........

if they did it would make these apps unviable for my girlfriend, who is trying to sign up, but the apps seem essential at present times for food outlets to make money

there was a bit of a snappy woman there before, but she seems to have left now

all the others there are really nice ????

Foodpanda can deliver for free because they charge the restaurant that they deliver the food from 30% if you use their service . That's an outrageous nr and if as a restaurant owner you tell them to put 5 baht up on your items they decline . Let's say if you sell som tam for 50 baht and they take 30% that's 15 baht so means as a restaurant you only get 35 baht for that order , out of wich you have to pay your electricity , staff and products you use so i think they are a bunch of th..fs . Ok you can negotiate the percentage down to 20% maybe, but still they start you of at 30% . Outrageous .

can you just give them your existing menu with the prices inflated 30%?

That way you get your 50 baht still for your somtam?  or are they wise to that you think?

(the reason i ask is my girlfriend has just opened a small food place, and is considering grab/food panda etc, but cannot affors to give them 30%)

she has existing walk in customers? I would be hesitant to order any food from a restaurant as I cannot verify the health of the food provider/preparer... has she and everyone in the kitchen been tested? 

 

Thai spices definitely and often elicit a sneeze.

if you want to prepare all your food at home that is fine.  i was looking more for the opinions of people who had had business dealings with Food Panda / Grab... please dont derail the topic, as i would really value opinions and advice regarding the topic as stated

Hi Guys - this coronavirus has really increased the popularity of food delivery services, and this will probably continue, even after the virus has gone.  My girlfriend has recently set up a small thai food restaurant, and i wanted to know if anyone had any advice / information about using these delivery services.

Can i ask a couple of questions?

1 - is her restaurant allowed to charge more for the food ordered through delivery services, compared to direct in the restaurant (so as to cover the high commission that the delivery services charge)?

2 - is she still allowed to deliver food herself to friends etc (my mate told me that the contract that they get you to sign does not allow this)

any other tips etc please guys?  my girlfriend is operating on low profit margins, and so her current menu and pricing would not make it viable to use Food Panda or Grab......   but she is also feeling she must move with the times and get into allowing people to order using these apps.......   how can she use these apps, without having to raise her prices so much for her existing, walk in customers, that they feel that they are being overcharged?
