  1. Do find a good builder. Our house was built and with some faults. The builder did fix them except then when it came to the roof which had a small leak, he simply stopped taking phone calls.
  2. Will the UK company who employs you let you work in Thailand long term ? Most would not.
  3. I've been to Anjira's clinic the last couple of weeks. She did a very nice job of fitting a new crown, I'm really happy with it.
  4. Maje sure that you don't reach a judgement based on just one tank, give it two or three I'd say.
  5. Don't some ECUs have a tampering alert on them - the ECU will always retain the real mileage that can be read by a standard diagnostic tool. Later BMWs I was told that was the case. Japanese stuff, don't know.
  6. Yes, they do happen.
  7. I'm a fan of Chiang Rai and the north of Thailand generally. Some people like the beaches; I prefer the mountains and landscapes. Crop burning is a downside, and it drifts across from Myanmar too I think. Nowhere is perfect.
  8. Well, got home tonight and the approval email has arrived. So exactly 8 weeks.
  9. Not correct, there is no distinction. 180 days present in a calendar year and you're tax resident for that year, tourist or otherwise.
  10. It will be 8 weeks tomorrow since I submitted mine. I guess they got a flood of applications for the old deals.
  11. I think that is right but perhaps worse - if you have ever had such a visa at any time past or present. Someone will correct me if wrong.
  12. That makes sense. Presumably also if they do approve you and you don't proceed, you also forfeit it. I guess they get quite a bit of that too.
  13. I've always had great service from the Chiang Rai office, better than Mae Sai. I think it depends on which IO you get on the day.
  14. Doing it at the airport isn't my first choice, I would normally get a multiple re-entry permit at the same time as my extension of stay. But last time I only got a single re-entry so rather than going back to immigration I decided to do it at the airport. I made sure I had plenty of time, and kept my eyes open for it, and it was easy to spot. You can also ask one of the staff.
