Landlord who refuses to do TM30
ChrisKC replied to GringoSteve's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You say you want peace and quiet! maybe it is quiet but you don't have peace! Go somewhere else less objectionable. Don't punish yourself for other people's "couldn't care less attitude". And while you are at it, report him to Immigration Not having a contract is a disaster waiting to happen! -
The police could have had an early night. Illegal or otherwise, prostitutes as obvious anyone would know, are around Beach Road and bars in Pattaya from lunch time onwards. My experience is limited in Pattaya, having only visited there a few times and staying in accommodation but how people who are trained to observe such things and not see them is a little baffling.

Where to find a girl friend in Thailand?

Around the next corner. There is no such thing as the best place! -
540 drivers have driving license points deducted on 1st day of new system
ChrisKC replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Shouldn't that figure of 540, be 540,000 (and even this figure should really have another zero added to it) if there is actual enforcement going on? -
Thailand’s tourism sector keen to welcome Chinese tourists back

Better the business you don't specially like than no business at all. -
Passport went through the washing machine
ChrisKC replied to Longbow212's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So your passport is "squeaky clean". -
Correct - there are no Immigrants in Thailand - those who arrive at Immigration can only be considered as "potential" immigrants. An Immigrant is only that when already in the Country having been accepted as such. No refugees, no asylum seekers. Thailand wants to stay Thai! Those of us who have been here for many years are not guests or visitors or tourists and not immigrants. I have been here for 20 years and married to a Thai. I live and do (most) of the things Thai people do and I think while not an official status, we are effectively residents on an annual basis and recurring as the "Immigration" laws stand currently.

You are up against it with, or in my case, without, Thai customs. I paid a shipping company in England 2000gbp to bring my personal effects to thailand. No furniture, only a few obvious personal effects, all properly labelled as such. After a few weeks, I was contacted by someone in Bangkok claiming to be the customs demanding B30, 000 import duties. I paid it and another b2000 to get it all to Chiang Mai and when it arrived my prized Tiffany lamps were broken. This was 20 years ago. Other Posters on here are recommending, for other reasons, not to bring furniture and other large items. My story revolves around me being completely ignorant of procedures and unfamiliar with corruption everywhere in Thailand. The silly thing is, I had bought a new desktop computer, 1,000gbp with me on the plane from UK to Thailand, declaring it at customs and being waved through without paying anything.

That's amazing! Farang given a lesson in divining numbers for the lottery
ChrisKC replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wearing a crucifix is not only strange, but wearing it to tell the world that the glorification of death and suffering is something worth exhibiting, is not my idea of a philosophy of life. At least, apart from the pig, what the Thais are doing is rather silly but not especially harmful. -
Ministers have set the goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 people by the year 2027. What's the use of just setting goals without actually DOING anything? It is no better than a Football Manager's team needing to score a goal but not sending any of his players onto the pitch!

An upfront Seller can easily put a "reserve" on the item! I don't buy anything on EBay now, shipping and import taxes takes the shine off any decent deal one might achieve.

The stand out lesson from this story is that Pit Bulls are unpredictable. As far as I am concerned, any owner and breeders of this kind of dog are irresponsible. And this situation needn't prevail for the future if they are banned entirely. There are literally thousands of other breeds one can choose from! No excuses - let's hear it from those in Authority that they will actually do something!

It is absolutely fine to judge people - just keep it to yourself!

But the actual question you asked was did anybody know anywhere and Google, as others have suggested, knows the answer! In addition, it is likely that some places may have accompanying reviews within the search. If you want recommendations, then that is the question to ask about. I am guessing that you, like most of us in this forum are basically strangers to one another so nothing much different from reviews from 'outsde'.

By consulting someone who is an expert in everything musical and how that business works, you won't be taking any steps at all apart from getting an opinion that may assist both you and your daughter ask some of the questions you may not have thought of! If you are not in any committing situations right now, it always a good idea to seek advice that will help what is an unknown process be potentially become better informed to take those steps with confidence. You have asked the non-experts on this forum including me but I do know someone who is and you have nothing to lose by contacting him. He is an Englishman, very personable and is extremely well known in the Music industry! I wish you well at these exciting times for all your family!
