yes, same here except for the one time when they had a problem with the Bangkok bank and once when they didn't get the proof of existence form that I had sent, what a nightmare that was to sort out, which is why I have started to worry about what has gone wrong

DWP have a very poor system for certificates of life which they send by post and refuse to send by email. My MP is currently trying to get them to change their ways. 

This year they claimed that they had not sent me a certificate, two days after it arrived by post. I asked them what they were playing about at and they replied that the person who sent it had not noted it on my record. They could just as easily note it on a record and not send it, then when they don't get it back your pension is suspended until they get one. Crazy.

Last year my pension was suspended over Christmas because I had not received a certificate.

Some so called experts seem to think the rise in £ and FTSE markets will not continue for very long. I think I would agree with that more and more as Brexit draws inevitably closer and closer.

If that's how Thailand treated those who would magnanimously spend tens of thousands of dollars and sleepless nights to try to help Thai boys stuck in a Thai cave, I don't suppose that anyone would like to help again.  Musk was not against Thai people--why should they be against him?

Small change to a billionaire. Potential advertising? Enormous.

Unsworth should take his case to the Thai court. Jail time for Musk.

Is this cheese?    No

ofx.co.uk No fees. Better exchange rate than UK bank. Transfer to Bangkok Bank will reduce the charge for receiving foreign transfer.

Seems like the goose that laid the golden eggs has gone well and truly t1ts up.

And law breaking Thais?

We also have loads of these around our village. They seem to be caterpillars rather than centipedes as they are totally non aggressive. You can't see the head too well in the pic but there is no stinger. Only about 2 cm long. Cannot find a picture of anything like them searching for centipedes online.

Do you mean you would never HAVE guessed?

Also, there ARE tankers which transport gas as opposed to petroleum spirit. Calling it a gas tanker is patently incorrect.

I ordered some kidney supplements for my dog from Amazon. They sent them with DHL. I had a phone call from DHL to say that I needed an import licence. I told them to return the supplements to Amazon. I then emailed Amazon with this information and asked them to re-send them by air mail through the post. They arrived without problem. Amazon then refunded the import tax (which they charge in advance) as no tax was paid.

That's a rise of about 4% for SET from its current 1612. Nothing to get excited about even IF it happens.

Maybe they could pay a visit to my *** Valu. Bought some packs of cooked food there yesterday, clearly labelled "vegetarian fried". Micro waved one this morning and found several pieces of cooked pork.

The pigs are not doing anything. They are just cramped in a very tight space where they barely have no place to move. 

Disgraceful way to treat live, sentient, intelligent beings.

Looks like you applied too early. Try again Monday 9th

Simple answer-5 Baht tax on every plastic bag.

Thanks for all the various replies even conflicting ones. The structure being built is a metal framework about 4 metres high with a platform on the top. It is a real eyesore. However, the neighbour has agreed to move railings on the top further away from the perimeter so that his guests are prevented from looking in my windows and open doors. Polite requests were made to do something similar earlier in the week but the owner was away working and his contractors just carried on and ignored my protests. Now he has returned and although he has solved the problem of overlooking my private residence, the structure is still an absolute eyesore when I'm sitting in my garden. It would still be an eyesore if it were built a metre or so further inside his property so it looks as if I'm stuck with it.

I live in my own home in a moobahn just outside Sri Racha. The neighbours have started to construct a large platform in their front garden. Although the supports are a couple of feet inside their property, the actual platform comes right up to the perimeter between our properties. They say the platform is so they can sit outside. It will give them an uninterrupted view over the whole of my garden and some limited view inside my house. I have read that there is a minimum distance they should maintain from the perimeter but I cannot find the post. Does anyone have any info please.

I am awaiting a new passport. I've just checked my TM30 Receipt of Notification. There is no passport number on it, so why should a new TM30 application be required?

Sorry AAArdvark, but I did click on the box that "I have read and fully......." but for some reason it did not connect me through. I have tried it again twice more and it still did not connect me but on the next time it did connect me and the "accept" button turned blue and I was able to access the form. I use chrome. Thanks anyway

Chrome doesn't work for me either. IE works every time.

Recommend Bravecto for ticks. Brilliant. Available at reasonable price from Lazada. One tablet every 3 months. I gave one to all my dogs and no further problem after 5 months.

Have you tried antihistamine tablets. Animal hospital in Sri Racha recommend chlorpheniramine for two of my dogs who seem to have developed an allergy to humid, polluted air. One tablet at regular intervals four times a day. 100 tablets at 15 to 25 Baht, depending which pharmacy you buy from.
