  1. My job now in the uk is a full time maintenance/caretaker manager in a fitness centre. Also got experience in warehouse supervisor and in building trade. My English is very good. My Thai is good not perfect but that will come back to me when I spend more time in thailand. But I can't read or write thai though but am trying to learn that now in the uk. I was hoping to move back to thailand because am sick of the uk. Any jobs that will pay between 18k to 20k should be fine to lived on for me. Plus I got family in bangkok some working in 5stars hotels and some in banking.

    What you are asking for (I assume it is in GBP per year) is usually paid for managers with degrees and a lot of experience. If you are starting, without a degree and special skills you look more into the 10.000-20.000 THB per month as a starting. You might be able to go up to THB 30.000 in the long run but without a degree you still would be considered unskilled and it will be harder to even get a job.

  2. If you have an iPhone or android you can download their app. mEA Smart. Once registered you can see the total outstanding bills. If you are late you can as well pay online. Bangkok Bank allows you to pay the invoice up to one month later. As I am not always home for an extending period I check through the app and pay via online banking.

  3. Maybe try Honor Audit and Advisory Ltd. I did not used them myself but only heard good things about them. Let me know if you like to have their contact details.

  4. We have a 10+ month old mixed Thai breed dog that we keep in the confinement of our large fenced yard most of the day and give him [and us] a romp in the morning and once he gets out of the yard, he often bolts to our chickens until he catches one. This dog is only 60 kilos, but all muscle and uncontrollable and hyperactive.

    I say casteration may help calm him down, but the wife doesn't see it that way........................any other suggestions??

    It might be that the dog is bored. Despite being outside in a free area and having one exercise per day. We had a similar situation with one of our dogs. Once we start exercising him 3-4 times a day exhaustively he did not chew anything or was running after anything anymore. He was just too tired. If you do not have the possibility to exhaust him you could try and train him to run on a treadmill. It would as well work for the excruciating routine.

    Just a suggestion out of my own experience.

  5. do you know a branch of any bank that is currently selling travelers cheques? quotes from three different thai banks today: "no we dont sell travelers cheques, no we dont open foreign currency accounts, no we dont send money overseas" not the first time they have closed/stopped the foreign exchange of thai baht.

    looking any bkk to east preferably not pattaya thanks.

    Try to contact Amex directly. They used to sell them at their HQ in BKK. Not sue if they still do but worth a try if you need. The issue they might have is that you would like to exchange to a different currency and this is not that easy without work and work permit.

  6. Try Scoot, Tiger Airways, jetStar and Air Asia. All of them are going through Singapore except Air Asia. They go as well through KL. You could try as well Thai Lion. Not sure if they are already operating via their Hub.

  7. stop being so possessive and get a hobby, it'll make you a happier and more interesting person

    You seem to be very thin skinned. If you ask something on here you should know that you might receive such answers.

    If you really would like to know according to law I would suggest you ask in the "ask a lawyer" section of this forum.

    In my opinion that depends always on the immigration officers visiting the shop. Sitting behind a computer is always suspicious and looks like work activity. Regardless if only playing a game, surfing the web, chatting with friends. You would need to ask yourself if an official would believe that.

    According to my knowledge it is not forbidden to visit but if you would do that the whole day, every day it would not be believable

  8. What you mean is that you would like to open a LTD company. For this you will need 2 partners (one needs to be Thai) and yourself. 51% of the company needs to be in the hand of a Thai person and the remaining but 2 foreign shareholders. You will need 1 million registered capital to get a work permit if you are married. 2 million if not married. For a work permit you will need 2 employees if you are married or four employees without. The paid up capital can be zero but it is recommended to have at least 25% paid up!to show the sincerity of this business. You can do it easily by yourself but if you would like to have your interest protected you should get allayed involved, which will write up a good shareholder agreement. Otherwise most of the accountants are able to setup your company.

    I knight have forgotten one or the other thing but I am sure someone will chip in soon.

  9. I Studio is an authorized reseller of Apple, they have multiple stores throughout Thailand. Do you still have the receipt? Usually the IMEI or Serial number is mentioned as they have an electronic system, which is hooked to it. With that I would call Apple directly or go to their authorized repair center. I have bought multiple products from I Studio and have never been disappointed.

  10. You will need to consider that a decent private condo will set you back at least SGD 3000. Most of the teachers I met in Singapore are sharing an HDB flat or condo. HDB flats are considerably cheaper but has a lot more restrictions in renting as the landlord would need to get licensed to rent them out. Usually they rent out their spare guest room to teachers. In regards to living. That depends completely on your lifestyle. If you like to go out it can cost you an arm and leg for one night out. Food is ok at food courts. Cost between 2-8 SGD plus drinks.

  11. That depends what you plan to do. If you like to be mobile you should purchase an air card or similar with a SIM card and a data plan.

    For wifi access in hotels this all depends. Some hotels offer free wifi throughout the building, others only in the lobby or other communal areas. Some hotels do not offer free wifi and you need to purchase a package.

  12. Airport by far the easiest way. 45 baht to Phaya Thai (90 if you use express), then 25-35 baht into town. I've used this way 76 times over the past 2 years, by far the most stress less!

    Just be aware that the ARL Express to Phaya Thai NO LONGER RUNS since 14 April (suspended for 1 year).

    For the OP, use this map if you are unfamiliar with the 3 metro systems in BKK, http://www.bts.co.th/customer/en/02-route-current_new.aspx

    According to the website only the Express Train to Phaya Thai. To Makkasan is still business as usual. That means you would need to change to MRT and then to BTS. A bit more hassle but still possible.

  13. You can use Tesco lotus parking at On Nut. Most painless is the airport as said before. You could try Bitec. Not sure if they opened the connection to BTS yet though. Not sure if you go at the weekend or during the weekend. At the weekend you could as well drive to exit Sukhumvit, right in the center. Then you have 500m to Central or to different other partings. Not to be recommended on weekdays.

  14. I am a bit confused in regards to your post that she is pregnant and that this will ruin your life. A few days ago you posted that you want to leave your university and work because you want to be in Thailand. Now the opposite.

    Regardless:

    I am in no position to tell you what to do but it might be wise not to ask in an open forum. You will hear opinions you do not like and most of them are open. I admit I did not read all of them but you should man up. You two made a huge mistake. Hers to stop taking the pill, yours for not taking care of proper protection and safe sex.

    It happens now that you will have a child and the two of you need to consider every possibility as this will alter your future regardless of your decisions. In Thailand abortion is illegal except for medical reasons.

    Not sure about France and if a doctor would perform on foreigners on tourist visas but in my opinion this should be the last resort of the two of you.

  15. I once did get mine in Australia on a tourist visa without issues. If I read that correctly you need to have a legal status to stay in Thailand. I might be wrong with this but even with a tourist visa you are legally staying in Thailand. I would not worry to much and just get the documents together you need and go to the embassy. If you are worried just go to a travel agent. Most of them will be able to assist you with the visa.

  16. I can only agree with some of the posters. Do not stop your study. You might be able to do an exchange program in Thailand to see how you like it. Furthermore there are more and more Japanese companies coming to Thailand, therefore it might be an advantage to know this language. It is hard enough to get a job with a degree. Without one it is currently nearly impossible. Maybe you can start to study Thai as a second language at your university. Currently you are too young, in my opinion, to make such live changing decisions. Wait a bit. I can understand your feelings but I would explore the options you have. In my opinion to drop out of university is not one of them.
