Thank you 

Planning to move from Chiang Mai to Pattaya April 2025. Been living in Chiang Mai for many years now but the pollution is just getting to be too extreme. I would really appreciate any recommendation for quality moving services that are affordable. I was totally shocked by TEE movers I requested a quote and the man responded by saying he will never send anyone to my house and he refuses to move me, I have had no prior association with this individual. It kind of makes you feel a little bit nervous when people like that, supposedly professionals react to a customer request for a quote. So if you can find any sane moving companies I would really appreciate it thank you.

Relocating to Pattaya area. Looking for a comprehensive tutoring school / cram school for a 14-year-old student who speaks Thai and English. Does anyone know of a tutoring center, or school that is in the p a t t a y a area? Emphasis on science, math and reinforcement of Thailand language. Thank you very much.

Well since my son is in junior high it would be a variety of subjects. That's why I mentioned tutoring school not just individual tutor. Special focus on mathematics, reinforcement of Thai language even though he speaks Thai I want him to continually reinforce his Thailand language ability and science.

Decided to escape to Pattaya for March and April to avoid the smokey season in Chiang Mai.

My family will be moving from Chiang Mai back to the Chonburi/Pattaya area next year. I'm looking for a  good quality, yet affordable high school for my 14-year-old son. Currently he attends bilingual Christian School in Chiang Mai. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated as there are a scarcity of listings on the internet.

The first question I have for every one of our arriving guests from Israel is this. Do you or do you not support the views held by the Talmud? Anyone who wonders what I'm talking about should take the time to read it.

Another nail in the coffin for Thailand's slowly eroding tourist industry. Yes I'm fully aware of that the numbers are increasing but maybe what we're seeing is a dead cat bounce? Just wishful thinking.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't there been several incidents like this in the past as in just about every month?

Unlikely = Factual 

Controversial = Factual, but Sheeple will have their fur uncomfortably ruffled 

A Thai would never be involved in anything as heinous as this. We all know it is only foreign people. 

I just wanna thank everyone there is a lot of useful information in the replies and I appreciate it greatly. just to let you know, I've received information from a couple of different law firms that apparently because I am a single parent with full custody, plus I have the amity treaty, I will probably be allowed to have two workers instead of four workers to sponsor a work permit. it's not 100% certain at this point but it's starting to look like that. once again thank you everyone for your valuable assistance.

Thank you everyone for the informative replies. Still, only one respondent addressed the issue about a single expat parent raising a Thai child and what effect that might have (if any) on the number of workers who need to be employed to obtain a work permit. One respondent said I am ineligible - Quote - You are not allowed to work or hold a work permit when on a retirement extension, so it would seem your question is moot. Sorry. - 

Obviously I plan on changing my Visa first - Sorry Charlie ????

So, if anyone has any further information it would be greatly appreciated. It seems most lawyers are unaware of many of the points that were raised in this discussion. A disturbing, but significant fact. 

Hope I'm posting this in the right place. A call to anyone with deep knowledge of the Thailand legal code. I need information about obtaining a work permit under a special exception within Thailand legal regulations. According to information I obtained it is possible to use two workers, not the usual four, to obtain a work permit. The exception has to do with a single parent raising a child in Thailand. I am an American citizen on a retirement visa in Thailand. I have sole custody of my child who was born in Thailand and maintains dual citizenship status. I believe under Thailand law there is an exception in that I am I am allowed only two workers not four workers to provide myself with a work permit under my Thailand Amity company. I need specific legal advice in this area to determine if this is in fact true, and whether I will be able to benefit from said exception. If you can assist me please let me know Thank you.
 

Does anyone have any experience transporting household items such as furniture air conditioners etc by train in Thailand? I imagine this would fall under the heading of freight or cargo transport by rail. I plan on moving from Chiang Mai to Phuket later this year. If anyone has any experience in this area, especially price information, I would greatly appreciate a response. Thank you

Thanks everyone - Seems that a Red , or Yellow Songthaew via Canal road might do the trick 

Can anyone provide advice about the cheapest and most efficient form of transport from Hangdong to Chiang Mai University for a student?

I totally agree, scaremongering and fear porn have no place in any reputable public forum, they have been and always should be the exclusive domain of the authorities themselves. After all, nobody does it better! :-) 

Thanks for the responses. Can anyone suggest a good system for protecting my home against power surges? 

As I was driving towards Kad Farang today my car camera picked up this image, a bit scary and all too common in the province.
