Two months wait? I thought waiting time would be improved and not worsen.

 

I applied on 11 Dec and have been given a collection date of 9 Jan.

I too did a 90 day report today. I waited 3 mins at the info desk for a Q no. and got no 43 at 0943. As I sat down, I heard no 46 being called (the Info screens were not working). I got to the desk to find nos 46 and 52 in front of me. My appliation was checked by a girl in mufti and the uniformed officer beside her issued my reciept at 0948. Well done immigration!!

Is he talking about Gallusses

I am posting in the Chiangmai forum to obtain local knowledge as opposed to gardening advice.

I have a small patch of grass (60m2 ) to cut. Is there an appliance shop in the Hang Dong/SanPaTong area which will hire me a small electic mower?

I have to do a 90day report at Chiangmai office within a few days. I cannot find the last reciept and thus cannot make a copy. I last recall seeing it while I had it photcopied at the office opposite the Immigration building for another matter but do not recall getting the original back.

What is the procedure for making the rport without it and the fine if any?

Go to the big plant market behind TescoLotus at KhamThiam, on the road in, pass the office on your right hand side, carry on for about 100m and there is a tool store again on your right, run by an elderly chinese who speaks good english. I bought a robust fork (japanese made) for about Thb400 and a good spade there.

My thanks to all who replied.

To tell a further story, my wife, for her first 25 years drank untreated water from the well at her father's house. Then they had a concrete tower with a sand and gravel filter and an aerating spray built. The family used that for a further 20 years. About 10 years ago the municipality installed mains water in the village and in spite of assurances that it was safe, sales personnel conviced them  that all sorts of diseases would result unless they used this VERY expensive filter. The entire village was conned into buying filters on hire purchase at a  grossly inflated price I calculate that most villagers paid Thb500 per month for 4 years for a device which retails for less than Thb9000.

We have an Ionizing Water Filter although I think the mains supply is perfectly drinkable. Madam  refills the large water bottles which we originnally bought full in various supermarkets. I would like to sterilise them occasionally but need guidance on how to do it. Heat is not possible. I am contemplating using a weak solution of bleach.

Has any member any opinion on this or a better suggestion?

A good start, now get them to use their mirrors and also look right and left before pulling out.

In Pakistan, the measles vaccine is alleged to be  a Nasrani plot to sterilise muslim girls, AND "Everybody"knows that the MMR vaccine give a child AUTISM.

Your name will also go on ze list

Over the past 18 months I have only received mail from the UK if it has been registered. No letter from the Pensions Authority, No P60 from any of my ex-employers. The only thing I can produce is a download from the Income Tax account giving the projected income and tax for the following year. Also available is an income and tax statement from previous years.

Would that satisfy Thai Immigration ? would it need to betranslated into Thai ?

Chiang Mai Immigration offers a 'List of documents to attch in case of Thai wife'. No 3; marriage certificate (Kor Sor 3) and registration of marriage (Kor Sor 2). This reg of marriage is to be obtained from the town hall, Chiang Mai, out on the Mae Rim road after the golf course. I got what I thought was this registration 2 years ago and it has been acceptable until today. Today I left my home at 8am, got my bank letter and update of account at Mae Ai bank by 9am and arrived at the airport immigration at 1pm. I was told to queue at the outside desk, wasted 20 mins, and was then told 'not here' go to counter 9. The instant response was 'come back tomorrow', but wife pleaded that coming 200kms this was the best we could do and it looked like they would manage it (no other marrieds waiting). But our marriage registration was no good. "You need the Kor Sor 2". So we went out to the town hall, wife showed the immigration's list, explained what we needed. After 1 hour they supplied a document, the exact same the one we had. So we went back in and wife explained all over again. This time we got something different but who knows if its right because we were too late to go back to immigration. I dont understand how the only office in C Mai that can issue this document can not know whats required by immigration but thats what happened . Beware. Wife phoned the imm official and now we go back tomorrow at 3pm. Thats 2 nights in C Mai to get a 1 year extension. We hope.

I am hoping to do 90 day report this week. Please confirm that this office is still at Promenada.

I have owned both Mercedes and BMW with Varta batteries. If you can find a Varta agent the battery may cost x baht. Put it in a BMW or Meredes box and the price becomes 2x+.

I bet she is really a 50 year old homosexual man

Maybole, yes fire blankets are the modern version of the wet tea towel for the old chip pan fire..

so they are a kitchen aid.

 

Home pro have them in now (you may even see my three bottles still lined up)

You can also get them at the safety centre which is almost next door to the Robinsons entrance on H.D.road.

 

Global dont have but like everything else they often dont have and have no intention of stocking up.

Thank you, I will be there tomorrow.

I have been looking also at fire extinguishers with the same amount of puzzlement. Madam would prefer a proper fire blanket, but I have as yet been unable to find one. Has anybody seen them on sale in the Chiangmai area?

We have just moved into a new built two storey house.On the ground floor is a european  style kitchen complete with cooker hood and full gas oven and hob . Madamme la Patronne insisted on building a separate "Thai kithen" which is accessed via covered path. In spite of it being fully equipped she has still to use it
