  1.  A Thai friend just called me to say it was announced on the TV Big Joke has been removed from his Immigration position, and is now working out of the Thai Police office

     

    We see if any effect to CNX Imm

  2. If I recall correctly Butter is Best in Rimping sold them.

     

    I guess that sales were not good and they stopped selling them, if fact they have moved out of Rimping

     

    Anyway, I understood, if you ordered 10/12 they would make for you

     

    Why not check it out

  3. Have look at this link, called British Corner Shop

     

    https://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/about-us

     

    I bought some items I could not find in CM

     

    I paid GBP 5 for delivery, I guessed the price would be the same or cheaper after buying in the UK at a higher price plus postage

     

    Parcel arrived okay

  4. I previous had a 1 year account with 1.2 million, and that classed me as a premier customer

    Hence the 2.5% against 2.4%

     

    I decided to go with 800k at 2.5% and put the 400K in instant access at 1.35%

     

    Interest is paid monthly into my instant access account

     

    I extended my retirement visa using CIMB letter, no problems

  5. Hello,

     

    Could we please have some feedback on the new Immigration Airport Office

     

    For example, Q-time, Q lines, processing time etc, where to go

     

    Also, I hear NO LIFT, how do wheelchairs / old people carry out their business if they cannot get up the stairs, or is all Immigration business carried out on the ground floor

  6. Yes, its important to input your RE-ENTRY visa number on the TM 6 card were it asks for visa number

     

    Then on arrival in Thailand go to Immigration to update your TM30 ,

     

    If you have already completed and registered your TM30 all you need is your passport with TM30 receipt, Immigration will re-sign/stamp

  7. So, wherever you are shipping to

     

    Make sure you have a detailed invoice with prices

     

    General, if  the goods are over 2 years old you will not pay import duties

     

    So generally I start my list with a statement that "ALL GOODS ARE PERSONAL / HOUSEHOLD GOODS & OVER 2 YEARS OLD"

     

    Then list the items priced ( at a lower cost, just in case you have to pay duty )

     

    The shipper / agent should have already asked you for the invoice, ideally print out a CUSTOMS DECLARATION, FILL IT OUT AND SEND TO THE AGENT

     

    Keep copies of both

     

    I am British and you can print out  from HMRC Site the form

    What will happen, is if you do not do it before the shipment arrives, you could delay clearance and the you'll pay storage costs

     

    Ideally, you shipment Contract was door to door, so the goods will be delivered to you home

    As I said before get the Agents name/ phone/email at the Port of Arrival

  8. I have been reading this thread, and maybe the issue started by the customer not understanding all the issues and the shipper not detailing the offer

     

    When you ship LCL ( Less Than a Container) you shipment is mixed in with other shipments

     

    An example of boxes could be a cardboard box, NOT plywood

     

    So when you ship LCL, its better in wooden boxes

     

    Normally the shipper would come and collect and pack the goods into cartons, then take them back to the warehouse and ideally pack into wooden boxes

     

    Its normal to quote by the CBM door to door, but you should have checked this was in wooden boxes

     

    I do not know who's issue this is, difficult to tell without the detail

     

    A solution could be to ask how much to strap your cartons on pallets ( the would be the cheapest option

     

    As the shipper packed ALL the goods into the container the shipper has to SEA-FASTEN the containers, by using timber, ropes or even welding in the container

     

    You should also have some cheap sheet of wooden 8 x 4 ft and sea-fasten around your shipments

     

    Again, I do not know the terms of your contract, however if its door to door, you need the a copy of the shipping manifest AND the agent in the country where the ship is arriving

     

    You need to contact them, and make sure you have given them CUSTOM documents etc

     

    If your shipping to the UK, it will take approx 30 days

     

    Also, any delays at the receiving PORT due to you not providing, saying invoices and customs documents can result in additional costs, which you will have to pay

     

    The agent at the Port of arriving general has a few days to clear the shipment, before charges are due

     

    A ship crossing sailing the ocean can get into bad weather and WILL rock and roll, that's why sea-fasting helps, but may not stop goods been thrown all over

     

     

     

  9. A question on extension to stay:-

     

    Currently, we have an extension to stay (one year) based on retirement and my wife has a dependent extension of stay

    The extension of stay expires 28th September 18

     

    My question is:-

     

    My wife turns 50 on 10th September 18, can we both apply for retirement extension to stay before her 50 birthday or do we apply after than date

     

    Previously, we could apply 45 days before 28th September 18

  10. You need a 3/8in x 1/4in BSP/NPT brass socket

     

    BSP  or NPT is the same thread at that size

     

    BSP - BRITISH STANDARD PIPE = British

    NPT - NATIONAL PIPE THREAD = American

     

    I would suggest buy on Aliexpress order online posted to you home
