Usually yes. Most of the companies have a clause that if someone driving is not mentioned then you will loose the insurance. At least it is the case with the international ones in Thailand. Local rental companies I do not know.

Otherwise there would be AVIS, Budget, Hertz. The usual suspect and all located at Beach Road.

If you get adopted by your mother in law would you then not be the brother of your wife? I think this would be illegal in Thailand.

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.

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.

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.

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.

School staff did not educate me on ed visa application, now i have screwed myself as I was only given single entry and I need multiple entry.

Now I need to get papers from the school again and make another painful trip to Laos

As far as I know you will not receive a multiple entry ed visa but you can get a multiple re-entry permit at the immigration office or at the airport. The multiple rs-entry permit is valid as long as your visa. Just make sure you mention it during immigration. At Suvarnabhumi you will need to do it at the booth before immigration. At Don Mueang right after (if they have not changed it).

I found Walen quite ok. I learned with them for most part of last year until I had to move to a different part of the country where they have no school yet. The teachers have been mixed. While some followed the book strictly we had others which followed it but explained more and made excursions. I think it depends what someone is looking for and I can only recommend everyone to sit in and listen at more then one school. Not every school and school system is the best for everyone. Otherwise there would be only one school.

Walen is one of the biggest in Thailand. I guess this is why they have are always named. Yes they offer ed-visas, like all other schools. It is up to each person to attend school and for those who are misusing the visa they should know it gets tougher. I gave been asked by immigration, during renewal, what I am able to understand and say in Thai. Furthermore there was a student in class, which had to go to do a text with immigration as otherwise her visa would revoked. She did not attended school at all. So tough luck.

Again the ed visa is a good thing for people, which like to learn Thai. The school is assisting to get it, but it is up to everyone to attend the class.

Does Walen make it a bit easier then others? Most likely as the attendance record keeping is not the best. This is something they should work on.

Just my thoughts on that topic.

Maybe check Emirates as well. I am not sure if they fly to Brisbane but used to fly from BKK to Sydney.

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.

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.

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

u to thick to understand that i ask law... thats what i want to know and i got my reasons. I dont need ur useless advice

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

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.

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.

In my experience you could file a claim at the court. But until you have made the court has decided anything it will probably take years. I know it is annoying but I would just let it go. Principle or not. Take the loss of the 2000, let her pay for the utilities and let it go.

According to the news you should be able to get to and from the airport even during curfew. Might be advisable to book a car to avoid any trouble in trying to find one or any taxi, if they are on the road.

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.

You can pay the bills online or through their apps. I do that once in a while if I am not able get to a true shop.

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.

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.

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.
