  1. They are not one and the same. Immigration officers have much wider ranging powers. A normal tam ruat will not check your 'status' - I doubt that most would know how. ID is sufficient for police (or Immigration if you can also show something regarding your status), as said, if they want to see your passport you have 24 hours to present it at a police station. Whilst I have read stories of aliens being taken to a police station while a friend retrieves their passport, I have never heard someone claim that it actually happened to them. For 17 years I have taken my passport out with me. I have photo ID and carry a passport copy in my wallet. I only take my passport if I am going out of province - and then it stays in a hotel safe. Never a problem. I don't expect a problem in the next 17 years either.
  2. Out in the Boonies you don't need 'lectric, you are probably still bartering and exchanging pebbles for field rats.
  3. ....and I think that you know why they can't......????
  4. Any recent experiences of processing times. I am hoping that UKVI may be getting back towards the normal 15 day processing times.
  5. Off topic but most hotels (all the many that I have used) will accept photo ID. I present my Thai driving license.
  6. No....???? Cambodia regularly produce good quality rice and have beaten Thailand in the past. Scotland are Scotland......................................
  7. I doubt that the card number will be sufficient to get the money to your account
  8. Does the 800k have to come from an overseas source for this first extension.
  9. She may not like Mia Luang. I guess is suggests the existence of a Mia Noi.
  10. A Pad Krappow is just not the same with Basmati. Pad Krappow is the only time I eat Thai rice. I don't mind sticky rice from time to time.

  12. That task will become increasingly difficult. It is already planned to remove cash deposit machines - any significant increase in bank counter will see the cash handling costs reviewed.
  13. Simple Googling would have educated you..... Look and learn:- Cost of accepting cash Cash Handling The idea that accepting cash is cheap is actually a myth. While some business owners might think the 3 percent fee for processing credit cards is a burden, research from IHL Group shows that cash handling costs many retailers between 4.7 and 15.3 percent.
  14. I didn't think you would understand.
  15. All banks' costs are passed on to the customer. Cash is a far more expensive commodity to 'handle' than 'cashless'.................................. hence the encouragement away from cash. Dual pricing is a likely consequence............ because that is not popular, it is more likely that increased transaction costs charged by the banks to retailers will be passed on to customers en bloc ie everyone shares the cost to avoid dual pricing.
  16. Further out than the roundabout? (With a garden centre on) where you can turn to the airport?
  17. They sell spaghetti as well....Makro and others even have international shelves.....I can't somehow see that extending to Cambodia rice..
  18. Cambodian rice - in a Thai store? Given their general protectionist nature (and a refusal to accept that ANYTHING could possibly be better than Thai products).........probably not.
  19. So.....I was 5 or 8 Baht out (5 actually, I think the minimum fare was 35 Baht) ....................sue me! ???? Then get a life you pedant! The point is that I generously paid 100 Baht to reflect the fact that the metered fare was too low.
  20. I didn't have you down as a pedant for 5 Baht!!! ????????
