  1. Watching YouTube scambaiter vids I often see a lot of the mostly Indian based scammers using Thai bank accounts to receive scammed funds.
  2. I'm married to a public servant and receive free healthcare under the close family scheme. I can receive govt hospital treatment with referrals to private hospitals for MRI's etc if required. For more serious problems like cancer I'll receive standard treatment but it's worth me using private cover for better treatment. However it depends on what scheme the public servant is in. I'm told as part of cost cutting measures newer staff dont receive the same family privileges.
  3. Was there on the 29 July. Me 400 baht Mrs 40 baht Car 30 baht.
  4. Father in law just replaced his batteries after 3 and a bit years on a similar type bike bought from Big C. Batteries had swollen during charge and one cracked open 4 sealed lead acid batteries cost him just over 4k baht.
  5. My lawyer took the court order and collected my divorce certificate The signature areas say court order in lieu She only found out it was finalised a year later when she contacted me asking to finalise the divorce. Her lawyer had neglected to tell her.
  6. I have 2 gathering dust. 1 Chinese and the other a popular western brand. I jokingly refer to them as 7-11 detectors nowadays. They detect anywhere with motion detection doors or gates. Also detect newer cars that use radar for cruise control and truck trailer proximity devices. I found a much better option is a free phone App like radarbot (although it costs if you plug it into your car audio). Free on your phone it provides fairly accurate warnings relying on users to notify permanent or temp speed/red light camera locations.
  7. Must be a Brit crime boss requirement. Saw a report recently of the arrest of a brit 1 legged call centre gang boss being arrested in Malaysia. He was known as pegman.
  8. I'm reliably informed this can happen in govt hospitals. It can take time for Bangkok to process initial wages. Some hospitals advance staff wages from hospital funds until the official pay arrives.
  9. Depends what you buy. We spend around 6+ k baht a week in makro mostly on drinks and snacks. Occasionally an item we purchase has a gift which shows up on the receipt. We collect from the "tam" counter outside the checkouts. Normally something smallish a bottle of M150 but have received cooler boxes and a grab delivery type bag in the past.
  10. Maybe a misunderstanding. My upcountry immigration office requires an official request from a govt department or embassy to issue residence certs. They told me to see land transport and get a residence cert request from them. I took the request back to immigration and they printed off the free residence cert while I waited.
