  1. Someone's a politician's personal reasons are in line with citizens benefit, so who cares he made money of this process as well?
  2. Thai smile and BKK airways might have business or premium economy on done of the flights
  3. The 1st article is saying 1000 THB for All while the 2nd is saying 1000 THB for Thai citizens and PRs only... So which is it? In the early 90's there was a 1000 THB tax for Thai citizens (don't know if it was for PR's as well) and it was a pain...
  4. But this is Thailand, not the UK. The road tax and compulsory insurance (p.r.b) go with the vehicle, do yes, they "continue to live" till the expiration date.
  5. So he told her he's not going to turn the meter on only after they were on their way? And he managed to go through traffic and traffic lights without any stops? Sounds like bs to me. I've had many drivers refusing to use the meter, but they say that before I even get into the cab, so I just say thanks, no thanks and wait for the next 1. Only once at the airport (official taxi rank) the driver started driving without the meter and wanted a fixed amount. We were still on the airport grounds so I told him to stop the car and I went back to get another taxi.
  6. Yes, don't stop until you're out of our lives
  7. Is it next to the CASM (Center for Anti Soapy Massage)??
  8. As the land and house were purchased\built before you got married - it's all hers. Doesn't matter who paid for all. You obviously have the right to live there till your death, but according to your stories about her is not going to be a pleasant life. As someone suggested above, let her find a new lover in the hope he'll be willing to buy back your rights for a reasonable amount, even though it's not actually saleable (unlike a long term lease). Option 2 is come to an agreement with her that she can do whatever she wants, as can you, but you will still share the house. Option 3 (which I think it's the most viable) is just bite the bullet, take what's in your name (car and bike?) and move out. Good luck.
  9. I'm not sure about the legality of edibles, but the no sale for under 20, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers - that was there from the start. I'm pretty sure it was there even before June 9th, when all you could get at cannabis clinics was oil. As for smugglers - that has nothing to do with legalising cannabis. It's just like sales of other illegal drugs and smuggling of other products. Where there's a market there will always be those who try to make a profit through the back door. I know I'll vote for Anutin, and I'll try convincing anyone who listens to vote for his party so he'll have enough power to keep cannabis legal. So that's what I do for cannabis and cannabis lovers.
  10. I doubt you'll find relevant courses for veterinary degree in English here in Thailand. Here's a list of veterinary schools in Thailand. I suggest you check each 1 and see if they have courses in English and if your credentials are acceptable. https://edurank.org/medicine/veterinary/th/
  11. A slight correction: certificate of residency is a letter foreigners can get from immigration as proof of address for opening a bank accounts, getting\renewing driver's license etc. What you refer to is just permanent residency. Quota per country is decided upon and released to the public near the end of the year, every year. As for citizenship - one must hold a work permit and pay taxes for 3 consecutive years prior to applying, and keep working and pay taxes throughout the process, same as for PR. On top of that, in order to be qualified to apply for citizenship one must hold a PR for at least 5 years. Also had to be over 40 years old on the past, not sure if this rule still exists. AFAIK a foreigner married to a Thai citizen can skip the PR part and after 3 years of working legally and paying taxes can apply for citizenship.
  12. Wow. THAT is in the news feed? Must be peace all over the world now.
  13. Had 50 degrees with 40% humidity the other week. That's 81C heat index. No wonder it felt like I was walking through a convection oven ????
  14. Can I have the address please? Seems to me she's good.
  15. And what's wrong with personal enjoyment? Many would argue that enjoyment carries health benefits.
  16. If you want to be 100% sure you can go to the local land office and ask them to come survey the property. Depending on how busy they are, it can take some time till they'll come, but you can always pay a bit more and they'll come after hours as well
  17. So true! Together with those who buy alcohol and cigarettes, and those who pay for sex or Mia noi's, and those who pay way too much for imported junk food... Get a life man. If you don't like it, don't use it.
  18. So in a condo building only 51% can be sold to Thai owners? Are there specific units only that can be sold to foreigners because they are registered somewhere as under the foreign quota? If there are only 2 identical units available for sale - 1 owned by a Thai national and the other by a foreigner, the % of foreign ownership is under 49% (so a foreigner can still buy a unit there), does the unit owned by a foreigner worth more than the other? I'd say the answer to all those questions is no.
  19. I am pretty sure I wrote that the price depends on supply\demand, just as you wrote here...
  20. There is no such thing as foreign\Thai quota and no difference in price. The price is determined by demand\supply and the ability to negotiate. At any point that a foreigner wants to buy a unit, the condo management have to check the current situation - how many foreigners own units in the specific building, and if less than 49% they'll issue an official letter to the land office. It's not that units number X,y,z are in foreign quota and the rest are in Thai quota.
  21. I'm a member of the public and I want offended. Bring her back please. Pretty please?!?
  22. There was pointing, but they pixeled the pointers ????
  23. Great idea. But then they will have to pay tax and social security. Would they really like it then? Will the customers like paying the extra to cover those expenses?
  24. Being a ceremony, it is the choice of those who arrange it. It's not a law. The fact that you cannot understand the culture and the importance of the event to this woman doesn't make any difference. In many such events (and that includes big weddings in the West) the parents it those who throw the party expect or hope that money given by gifts will cover the costs plus give some profit. Many of those get it totally wrong....
  25. Anyone knows if it is possible for a Mexican national to get an extension of their VOA (they got in in March and got 30 days). This is about Visa on Arrival, not visa exempt. Will appreciate any information. Thanks
