dick turpin

Think you will find that is the Apple flagship store in London.

These eager punters are often stooges sent in to pick up the

latest phone to be resold at an even more ridiculous price.

My friend Big Joke will not be pleased.

Leaves the question unanswered. Does the actual conversion of incoming foreign funds need to be done by the receiving bank or can the money coming from abroad also be in THB

As per my previous post doesn't matter who does the conversion,

but you will get a much better exchange rate if you let the Thai 

bank do the conversion.

Log onto the bangkok bank site and foreign exchange rates page

for current TT transfers and compare with the rate you got, you

can scroll back to the date you made your transfer.

Thaksin arrives at 9am, new prime minister is

appointed at 5pm......am I missing something.

All Honda Jazz models have a speech impediment.

,,,,,,And any resemblance to the

real thing is purely coincidental.

Thanks guys.....most critical advice would seem  

to be to test out on small area first and go from

there.

Agree, should call back the builder to take care,

but he obviously has already demonstrated his

attitude to maintaing a clean workplace.

Had a builder splatter gloss paint over

my floor tiles am a bit reluctant to go

the full monty with paint stripper for

fear of damage to said tiles....is there

a safer means.

Are you living ongoing in Thailand.

Why did you need to do a TM30? 

 

Was your 90 day report due and you took opportunity to file TM47 while you were there? 

 

Had a similar request to update my address at Korat,

simply because slip in my passport was an old version.

Also at Korat the IO dealing with the extension will

automatically reboot your 99 day report and issue

any re-entry permit....all at the same desk.

If you are travelling up the Mittraphap or highway to hell

it is hardly an epic journey. Better you time your trip so

that when you turn off for Khao Yai at Pak Chong you will

have a wide range of eateries such as Chocolate Factory,

KP Steak and Studer.....mind you all at Khao Yai prices  

What bugs me is when they are too

lazy to change the menu, but just

put stickers over the old prices.

You get to keep your passport intact for purposes

of ID and domestic travel in Thailand, but as you say

invalid for international travel. It will then be clipped

when you pick up your new passport.

Not sure of current charges, but you will fill out

a separate form with your credit card details,

to allow them to deduct what they like.

Do you mean the percentage

that can spell "foreigner".

I also live in Udon Thani and used Key Visa's facilities about this time last year.

My Passport took an age to appear - something like 18 weeks - but the blame for that is fully on the UK Passport Office, not Key Visa.

 

 

Darren McGarry was very helpful in keeping me informed as far as was possible with the quite atrocious service that UK passport holders are supplied with. 

For example - VFS Global in Bangkok supply a reference number which is of zero use in actually trying to track where your passport is in the system.  Her Majesty's (in those days) Government took 4 weeks to extract the money from my bank account, but a further 10 weeks to tell me that my photographs were not acceptable. (rant over).

 

Unfortunately Darren passed away late last year. 

I certainly would have had no issue with highly recommending Key Visa if he was still alive.

HMPO will make payment deduction immediately on receipt

of application in the UK, which suggests delay in submitting 

to VFS at this end. Out of interest, who told you your photos

we're not acceptable HMPO, VFS or Key Visa.  

"Polish"...........give me a break.

The only guy that knew more about

Thai immigration regulations than

Thai Immigration.

They are insane at times.. Someone tell her the blue film peels off to reveal a nice metallic surface

Got a confession to make.......still got the blue film

on my extractor, it actually makes the kitchen

look super smart

Out of interest, anyone picked up a new Brit passport

at VFS in Bangkok lately and been told they no longer

need an embassy transfer letter.
