Hello sorry for the delay in replying . I thought the op wife was not Thai ? . My wife was Malaysian but got a British passport 45 years and did her NHS service. To get a visa without complications we opted for baht 800000 each yep baht 1.6 m . However now we don't bother and spend less time in Thailand and due the visa waiver .. .. Good choice after many years ...

So I went on the white or his last night 4 people . Buffet . It was a cheap cruise at £15 a head .. boat a bit date entertainment . Seen better . Unlimited beer in small glasses. Next time I will pay a bit more and get a better cruise . But note I said next time .. I enjoyed it .. had my value in prawns alone!

One should be aware of difficulties if the partner holding the visa dies. There have been incidents of problems with immigration. a few years ago that I know genuinely happened that the dependents visa became void and the spouse had to leave the country and return on a tourist visa waiver immediately. ( It was in chiang Mai )

certainly makes for very good holiday snaps . NOT

Take a look at what Vivo bene offers in Chiang Mai .. certainly an option v UK care homes... Good luck with sorting this out ...

Only the first £12570 lower tax threshold is tax free . If your income including your pension exceeds that you will pay tax . I have been paying tax on my investments and with the pension HMRC quickly increased my tax payment and gave me an X code grrr.

Depends where you are in sannameng and wonderful maps system. Grab and lineman usually works fine especially from local restaurants.. like Baan suan panwa or KiatJust near the municipality. KFC MC Donald's and pizza hut also seem to deliver .. at least to local residents in siriporn . Many of the maps are out dated and if for example you live in siriporn garden homes (9) Google will often take the driver into palm gardens so that is very frustrating . Or through the back gate that does not exist any longer. Try visiting some of the local places and telling them you address and they can help direct the delivery guys .. hope that helps a little

In the USA eggs are washed and the cuticle is removed replacing with oil or shellac type sealant is used in Europe to sell fresh eggs you cannot wash them as class a for resale the egg has a natural cuticle seal keep points dow as you say and if you refrigerate that will extend the shelf life considerably. Do not try breaking the eggs and freezing them as liquid . Eggs are a natural item you should easily obtain another 2 to 3 weeks . ( In industrial conditions you can get more) yes I am an eggspert LOL

Standard Chartered one of the big international banks had a subsidiary company here .. and they sold their retail business to Tisco ( yes who!) they did not even have a swift code. So from a big international bank who really dumped me . You think the International banks are any better.. try returning money for condos sold etc. now. Real pain . CIMB Thai works quite well for me. Good luck.

Yet another great incentive not to encourage tourists to come to Thailand.. billionaire needs to donate more perhaps .. ..

Yes it is possible .I have done it to my tenants band it proved useful when one left and the other struggled with the rent. It was settled amicably. I ensure the deposit was kept as a single one and not split therefore when one left they did not receive a refund of half . But it is all down to the landlord.

You may want to find a friend coming to the UK to take them before 30th. September..or follow the advice from the Bank of England : What to do with paper notes after 30 September Once the 30 September 2022 deadline has passed, you will no longer be able to use Bank of England paper notes in shops, or use them to pay businesses. After this date, many UK banks will accept withdrawn notes as deposits from customers. Some Post Offices may also accept withdrawn notes as a deposit into any bank account you can access with them. The Bank of England will always exchange any withdrawn notes, including paper notes we have withdrawn in the past.

Thanks ubonjoe. I will be arriving from the UK on waiver with a confirmed return ticket just after 3 months and a pre booked Air Asia confirmed flight to Malaysia to see family on day 29. Stay 11 days then return. I will have 59 days before my main uk return ticket. if I enter on a waiver I do have a return ticket but not within the lifetime of that waiver . I intend to get an extension to cover. But will the airline / immigration accept this ?.. that is why I am looking to cover me .. or will that be acceptable ? To be honest I have never been asked in my many years of travel to produce proof of exit or funds .But new passport no stamps so no records and until covid was a visa based on retirement.. for several years after Multientry stopped from Hull. Thanks as always ..

Precovid I was on a visa " based on retirement" . Now expired I will be coming back on visa waiver and looking at 30 day + extension. I checked LON Royal Thai Embassy and got this : Proof of onward travel (confirmed air, train, bus or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 30 days of the arrival date (**otherwise a tourist visa must be obtained). My intention is to have a ticket from the Pedang Besar immigration at the railway station to Ipoh . Cost c.£9 just incase I am asked. ( I may actually leave by car but that is another can of worms) DrJack54 please can you help in providing a link where it states flights only please . Thanks
