Thanks. im there next week so good to know. Hopefully the ones that do the photos at Trendy should have enough experience to  comply with the UK requirements. Ive had enough of other photo shops telling me "is ok" when it very clearly isnt haha

The photo booth I was talking about I an automatic photo booth so the photos should be correctly sized, not somebody in a shop taking the photos.

So i used the photo booth , and for the coorect size you get 8 photos for 120 baht, unfortunately they are on one piece of photographic paper, luckily a kind lady in one of the visa shops on level one cut them into singles for me.

however on Tuesday i received email from HMPO saying they cannot accept these photos due to print quality so i have to submit two more phots to them. i did this yesterday. i also recieved notification that due to current circumstances, processing times will be up to 8 weeks

1000 people queuing to get their 1,000.000. That's 1billion baht.

50,000 people panicking, that is 5trillion baht.

would 50,000 x 1,000,000 not be 50 billion bht ?

When you as farang wants to do business inside Thailand, you have to do that in accordance with Thai laws, unless... you can make another agreement with the Thai governement ( special BOI rights etc)

When you as non-EU company/citizen wants do do business inside the EU, you have to do that in accordance with EU laws. When you want special rules, you have to make an agreement.

i think any one wanted to do business inside the EU will do so according to EU laws, same as for any nation in the world and i dont think anyone is asking for special rules in this regard, if i am incorrect, please point me in the right direction

I went to Trendy this morning. The shop doing photos on the ground floor is still open. There is also a photo booth outside a small shop just a few yards from Trendy, towards the Sukumvit.

Thanks. im there next week so good to know. Hopefully the ones that do the photos at Trendy should have enough experience to  comply with the UK requirements. Ive had enough of other photo shops telling me "is ok" when it very clearly isnt haha

I know you can get the photos done at the place on the ground floor

Is that a booth or a shop? Is it still there and open? Thanks

Agree, and strange there is no comment re police being called/being involved to investigate and lay charges.

The school representatives and parents have filed a complaint at Ratchaphruek Police Station in Nonthaburi on September 24.

 

The school also informed the parents that it would facilitate prosecution of the teacher and other related persons by providing a legal team.

How long has this behaviour been known about and tolerated?

I dont know exactly , Do You?  but this in the OP gives a clue

This week, a group of parents found their children unhappy about going to school and had wounds on their bodies

So it would appear the school acted very quickly, instalilng cctv to gather evidence, then dismissing the teacher on the grounds of this evidence.

Pay a policeman a fine rather than adding an extra day and the costs of going to court, pay a large fine and compensation to relatives, rather than have the public pay for your keep in prison, good or bad depends on your view

No problem with this,its the way things are done here, right or wrong its not our call,

I just can never understand why they fabricate stuff when glancing at any road for more than a minute could warrant numerous fines/opportunities of tea money.

Consumer behavior is shifting towards online shopping, there are some companies I would invest in stocks long term but not sure how to do that with money in Thailand.

Invest on SET or other bourses ?

For SET , i invested through Kbank

For US, China, Uk, EU etc i use etoro

You can PM me if you would require any details/help/info

Coming from a fishing (trawling) family ive never understood the preference for cod. It does have more flavour than haddock but that flavour comes from the s@#t they eat

Pigeons of the sea my old man called them and we all know pigeons are just feathered rats haha

Foreigners are not allowed to collect dividends from Thai companies.

Untrue, look at your own link.

foreigners can buy Foreign allocation shares or NVDR shares .these both pay dividends to foreigners.  The reason for the Local shares ( which is what you are referencing) is that as most people here know already, foreigners cannot have controlling interests of Thai companies, that is why at least 51% of shares in any company on the SET are reserved as Local shares.

The validity of the licence will stay the same, and there will be a change charge. 

55 baht for car licence

i have some shares on the SET and the dividend payments are tax deducted 10%

The Thai Tax ID number it states is just my UK passport number

If it is necessary/makes things easier for you to have a Thai tax ID, perhaps just invest a few thousand Bht on the SET so you will be issued an official number

Hope this is of use to you

Sun is stronger in summer, but more clouds and rain.

Last year 1 x 330w panel Aug 28, Oct 32, Nov 29, Dec 30, Jan 29, Feb 28 

This year 2 x 330w panel, April 59, May 65, June 57, July 57

 

So a fairly consistent output all year 1x 330w panel produces 1 unit/day with small variations.

Ha, you posted this as i was typing.  Answers it well , thanks

Yes, yesterday was the first day of cloud throughout the day and i got 5.1units from the 6 panels, today is forecast to do the same . The cloud in the morning or late afternoon doesnt drag the figures too much but yesterday was the only time it has been overcast through the 1000-1400 period and has had a dramatic effect.

Im south Bkk and overcast and getting between 350-450 at the moment from 2,160w of panels.

In regards to earlier post, i wasnt sure if the clearer skys in Nov-Feb compensated for the lower sun/shorter days so thanks for the info

So , i have had 3 x 360w panels operating for ten days now and got 46kwh for an average of 4.6units/day.

got 2nd array of 3 x 360w panels set up and produced 4.5units yesterday from these.

The worst day so far was 3.7units on a mostly cloudy day but so far the sky has mainly stayed clear during peak hours between 10am to 2pm which i think has helped the figures stay very good but reading other posters returns, i seem to be exceeding certainly my expectations. If i were to maintain this rate of generation , then i would see a return of investment of around two years !!

So my question to those who have had solar for a year or more is how much variation do you get throughout the year? And how does July compare ?

I don't know what t..t is, but you have to multiply with 2,5 to go from inch to cm.

hanks for clarifying, I did get a bit worried and concerned after reading that

reminds me of when my well endowed friend and i went to Hamburg, Was invited to a Uni leaving party and the girls asked "how big below".  He was pleased they asked so he could gleefully inform them his member was a nice 8and half inches.

all the party giggled and mocked him with their little fingers. I thought if they think he is little then im saying F... A..   but realised they were thinking in cm.

 i told my friend the confusion so he asked how big is that in cm then.. being a bit of a t..t i told him to multiply by 1.5  haha
