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.
For future reference always make a transfer
in local currency euro/£ etc and let the Thai
bank make the conversion.... you will get a far
better exchange rate.
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.
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
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.
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.
