TM 30 Landlord reports, but if landlord does not, you could still be in trouble.

TM 28 you report, up to two days after moving to new location.

Expats no need , because have long term residence. 

If you return to live in the UK permanently, (this includes the Philippines) your State Pension will be increased to current levels. If you subsequently move to a country where annual increases are not paid your pension will not increase in the future.

So if you leave Thailand for the Philippines you will receive the updated pension straight away, stay there for a 6 month 3 day holiday and then return to Thailand you will keep the updated pension, but not future increases.

Do this every few years and your laughing

No mention of those on yearly Non O extensions (marriage and retirement) or am I missing something?

This is only for tourist, not for those that live in Thailand.

There will indeed be new immigration offices in Lamphun and Lamphan, both are being set up for full services but are not yet open, immigration officer's have already been posted from Chiang Mai to work there. There will be more officials in Lamphun, this might be because of the new airport that will be built in the Ban Ti area.

Don't forget to get the condo management to fill out the TM30 and for you to fill out the TM28 forms

Lamphun and Lampang now have their own immigration office's , so there are less people using Chiang Mai . Everything will be quicker now

Excuse me? Where exactly are they and when did they open up for biz?

Thanks

Not sure where the Lamphun one is but the Lampang immigration is in the old police station, been open for years offering 90 days , but now has been revamped to offer full services

Chiang Mai Immigration has already put a bar code sticker on the last page of my passport, I wonder if this is what it's for!

If they both get found guilty, then I assume their party could then force charges against Big T for the 2500 deaths occurred during his fight against drugs.

Not according to police order 777/2551.

A combination of income and money is not allowed for extension based upon marriage to a Thai.

The only way it could be done is if your embassy/consulate used both when issuing your income letter.

I have been married and living here in Thailand for 16 years first in pattaya then central Thailand and now Chiang Mai, I have used a combination all the time, they ask for thb 40,000 x 12 ie thb 480,000.

This must be a marriage extension of stay if only 2 months was the requirement for a 9th extension and there is no combination allowed for them.

You can use bank and pension if married, must be THB 480,000 or more, money in bank for three months.

Am I missing something, because the article says:

Abhisit's Sor Dor 9 document was a replacement for the original that had been reported as lost. He became a lecturer at the military academy after graduating from Oxford University.

Therefor the mistake is the persons who issued the replacement document not Abhisit's.

It always make me smile when they push up the wages here in Thailand (we all like higher wages I agree), but a small shop/firm with ten workman paying THB 5,000 per person has a wage bill of THB 50,000, if all of a sudden they have to pay THB 300 per day, then their wage bill for ten persons is THB 90,000 per month.

Now they have a choice lay off two workers to reduce their bills or put up their prices and if everyone puts up their prices then the 300 THB has the same value as THB 200

Just watched channel 5 tv, up to 45 cms already in some areas

Believe this when I see it. more government waffle

It is a good idea. Please make it your mission to go to these fast food resturants to check.

Many “Mum & Pop” restaurants / café’s, Big C, Carrefour & more already offer free drinking water in their restaurants / food halls, with the option to buy bottled water so this is not really something new.

Able to access all parts of the site except the 'Home' (whether through bookmark or links in Facebook).

CAT (cable) Chiang Mai.

edit: I can access the 'Home' just by going straight to the URL www.facebook.com

Instead of the "Home" link, click on the Facebook Logo, the Home link is still not working for me

Using IE I just tried going from the game to Home & got the website blocked message. What a c.... up. How do you get a VPN?

VPN allows you to surf the Internet securely and with no Government controls. More information can be <snip>

same here yesterday Thailand was Censoring FaceBook

It seems that Thailand is censoring some parts of Facebook today, each time I try to go back to Facebook using the “Home” (http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home) link, from playing Farmville I get redirected to http://w3.mict.go.th/ and each time I receive:

—————————————

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://w3.mict.go.th/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

So either they have problems or they cannot handle the re-direct traffic.

Still being censored, when using the "Home" button, this time from "FrontierVille"

Have you tried it using IE?

Using my VPN now, (encrypted Virtual Private Network) they cannot read that, so no problems now

ref IE. not tried that yet, only FF and Chrome

Problem with Chrome and Firefox (TOT). My guess is that some idiot has posted something nasty about the King and thus this is the response... You get get to your profile and by using certain links there you can get in to the feed but if you use HOME of Facebook, you'll be redirected...

Hotels and other places should do this too and put those nasty tuk tuks out of business. They are ripping everyone off and get angry once their monopoly is broken.

They act like greedy children. The thing is Thais like Rucharee dont mind farangs getting ripped off. I really hope that tourism in this country collapses and loads of Thai loose their jobs. But even then they won't realize that they only have themselves to thank for it. Its always the outsider who is wrong never the greedy Thai.

Many Thais have already lost their jobs and livelihood this won't solve the problem, the problem is that Phuket and Chiang Mai have powerful people in charge of the Tuk-Tuks and it will take time to change the system. It will take a strong Prime Minister who is not afraid of the consequences

Last time I was home was Sept 1995

Well...is there a middle ground? Literally.

Phet = spicy. Got that. Certainly works!

Mai phet = not spicy. Got that. :D

But what's "in the middle"?

Actually as a farang phet will usually get medium phet. Phet phet is asking for super spicy, and then if you are lucky as a farang you will get normal Thai spicy. You could try phet nit noy; it might work in some places, but some places will just hear that as mai phet coming from a farang.

Speaking of misunderstandings, I think that Thai waiters are so used to hearing mai phet and of course the typical Thai myth that we can't eat spicy food, that quite ofen they will hear phet phet as mai phet and just assume we made a mistake (and/or just not thinking).

I usually order "phet phet phet" when I want it spicy and joke that "mai phet mai alloy" (not spicy not tasty) here in central Thailand it works, I get what I want.

I won't be using it just now, the test program says My graphics card is no good and I will not buy a new card just to upgrade to a new OS.
