ok ok, he was deputy PM.

No he wasn't. And the main reason for the problem was that about 13 years prior to the meltdown the government had fixed the THB\USD rate to 25\1. They controlled it by buying\selling foreign currency according to demand and supply.

George Soros realised there's an opportunity for good profit and started to attack the THB until the BOT nearly ran out of USD and has to give up.

Again, I'm not a fan of the guy, and he's done a lot of bad to Thailand, but had nothing to do with the meltdown.

short time monks. no surprise at all considering the multitude of stories over the years showing the reality of what happens in many of these so called temples. 

They're not even short time monks. They're 11th grade students sent to a temple school, probably unwillingly. The equivalent of boarding school for trouble making kids.

A lot of people don't get it. They have fixed ideas about other countries.

 

So you going to Pattaya?

 

Nah going to Mae Sariang. Huh?

 

Then I might go to Koh Chang? Huh?

 

Then I might go to Ubon. What?

 

Why don't you go to Samui? Because its full of farangs.

 

What's a farang? People like you. What?

 

 

You're obviously mixing with the wrong croud

Yes if you give a guided tour and be fair with prices.

In order to LEGALLY drive customers you'd have to drive a tuk tuk with public transport plates (yellow). And in order to LEGALLY guide tourists you'd have to take a tour guide course and become a certified tour guide.

Do you apply water to the stick before the application?

I think you misunderstand the product. It’s anti-bacterial and will have a cumulative effect over time. But you need to wet the stick and apply it after you shower. 

A better way is to apply it after shower and BEFORE you wipe your armpits dry. If you wet the stick directly it will dissolve faster and might break

A car ownership can only be transferred in the province where the car is registered. Tax payment can be done anywhere.

To the OP, you have 2 options:

1. Have the current owner register the car in chunburi (and get new plates), after that's done can transfer the ownership to you.

2. You go with the seller to Bangkok and do the transfer there. You can then travel and live anywhere you want and keep the Bangkok plates.

Whenever you want to sell the car in the future you'll have the same 2 options.

Sad there aren’t any suggestions for bee keepers on here. I’m sure they’re out there somewhere, but no one really knows. 

These are wild bees so I don't think any bee keeper will have anything to do with them. It is possible however to harvest the honey if you know how... Once you harvest the honey the bees will relocate

Strongly advise getting it corrected - can be an issue at some point by some official - especially in today's world.  We had issue over 20 years ago in Chiang Mai where airline/immigration was refusing to board granddaughter (Thai names) due birth certificate name in Thai slightly different than airline ticket (and they are much more strict these days).  Luckily we had attachment to birth certificate explaining error on original BC but it had to go to the top for approval.    

Very strange. Up until about 20 years ago no one checked id or passport for domestic flights. I had a friend that always booked domestic tickets in Thailand for his friends and employees under his own name so he can accumulate the miles. They started checking documents after a bomb went off on a plane that Mr T was supposed to board (they later claimed it wasn't a bomb but Aircon gas mishap....). Back then Thai IDs didn't have any detail in English. Thai only.

Another point is that airline tickets always show the name in English and never in Thai, whereas Thai birth certificates show the name only in Thai (don't know how it is today, but definitely that was the case 20 years ago).

And a 3rd point - I have dual nationalities and there's a 1 letter difference in the family name between the 2 passports. I always book flights using the same spelling\passport details, but check in with either passport according to my destination. Never ever had any problem not asked any questions about it

I assume it's misspelt in English and not in Thai, right? Being Thai, the name written in Thai on the ID card is the most important, not the named in English. As for the bank account, so far I've never seen a bank book of a Thai person showing the name in English. Besides, I had to look 3 times at the correct spelling and the misspelling to realise it was the letter a replaced with an e (and I guess that's why you\she didn't notice it as soon as she got the id card, so I think no one will notice it if not told.

As for future business, job applications and whatever - in Thailand most, if not all documents are in Thai, so I can't see any problems there. In order to deposit money to get account all one needs is her account number or her phone number or her id number for prompt pay.

All of whom were de facto dictators of those countries.

 

And all of them murdered their own citizens.

So you can add Mr T to the list just the same

Are you claiming that his tenure gave them the ability  to borrow money and buy household good, property and transport and that made their lives worse? Household debt is at a peak now and he has been out for 13 years.

Yes. He made it very easy to borrow money without any way of earning money to pay back. He basically enslaved them. And made money on the interest.

what will happen if the compressor fails in 18 or 19 years? If I am not around, will anyone force the company to replace the compressor?

Simple. Ask to be buried in the fridge and if the compressor stops working after 18-19 years you could take care of it yourself

Where can I go to retrofit headlights? DIY is beyond me.

 

I will provide the correct bulbs which I bought online. 

Do you know where the Tops supermarket at meechok is? Just drive past it (on your right) and about 20 meters past on the left there's a vehicle's parts shop. I got a bulb changed there
