Had no trouble booking flights. What I totally forgot to do was arrange transport from the arrival airport to my parents house. Walked out of Heathrow 15 years ago and asked a Black Cab driver how much to go to Salisbury. £320! Told him I would think about it and went for a ciggy. Came back and we agreed on £280 as that was all I had on me. Could have got a private driver that lives just around the corner from my parents to do it for £90.

Transferred my wife's land to our son earlier this year to avoid wills and probate. Land was valued at the appraised rate on this website. https://landsmaps.dol.go.th/# Only 1% tax was charged, I was expecting a total of 2.5%. Didn't question it as I was happy with the 1%. All three of us needed to show up. I was required to sign a document due to being married to the land owner. Wasn't asked to show any identification which I thought was strange.

Here they are behaving in their own country.

I am with Bangkok Bank. My SIM card is registered with my old passport number that expired eight years ago and the bank has my current passport number. I have had no issues with the bank app. All the information on SIM cards and bank apps I have read say the names must be identical. No mention of passport or ID numbers matching. The bank has the numbers of my last 5 passports on record.

You can check the appraised value here. https://landsmaps.dol.go.th/# On a mobile you tap the three dots at the bottom right and select current location while you are on the plot of land. It takes a while to do do its thing but should zoom in to your location and show all the plots of land. Double tap the plot you are interested in an the appraised value will come up.

I use a cheap two-sided whetstone, and then keep them sharp with a ceramic hone.

The typical moaning about Thailand manipulating its currency without acknowledging that the USD has dropped about 10% against a basket of currencies over the last few months. Maybe it is the US that is manipulating its currency?

Ramsey Crookall in the IOM. Talked to them and Equinity. Ramsey Crookall supplied a form to request the transfer. Can't remember all the details but both of them were very helpful. If you bank with Lloyds Offshore you can submit a form authorising payments to and from Ramsey Crookall.

Did it with Equinity several years ago with the same situation. I had a offshore stockbroker and just transferred the shares from Equinity to my offshore broker.

My SIM is on my old passport number from eight years ago, and I have had no issues. None of the information I have read on SIM registration and mobile banking mentions passport numbers, only that the names on the account and SIM must match. The bank has all my old passport numbers on file. That said, there is often a lack of consistency in Thailand when applying new policies.

Depends how they are doing the U-Turns. All the road improvements in my area involve U-turns either under the main highway or, if going through the central reservation, long slip roads to merge back with the traffic on the main highway.

Ratchaburi have accepted the GPS coordinates written on the back of the TM7 for my last two extensions. Before that they didn't require anything.

It appears you have an infestation of mango bark boring beetle larvae. Not a lot you can do about it as far as I know. I have occasionally had success cutting into the bark and killing the larvae, they feed just under the bark and chew holes into the trunk. Had a few trees die because of them. Some YouTube videos from India on how to try and deal with them. Normally the tree kills them off before they take a serious hold, beige coloured sap from a spot on the trunk is an indicator that the tree has stopped an attack.

A few years back, but when I went to immigration to get the stamps transferred to my new passport I asked if they required another TM30 to be done. They said no. I have had no problems with online 90 day reports or extension renewals.

I made pizza when I first bought it but can't be bothered getting all the toppings and sauce when I can easily get one delivered. Decent bread ,on the other hand, is hard to come by locally.

Sorry, that should be SHARP, not Samsung. Too late to edit.

I've got a Samsung EO-42K fan oven. Had it about five years. Only use it for bread and reheating pizza.

In the comments section it says that you need to press and hold the vertical swing button for three seconds till you hear a beep.

I am 68kg, 32 waist. Below are my size XL shorts. The waistband is elastic. Where is there a standard for how much a waistband is meant to stretch for size measurement?

Coffee production in Thailand is also decreasing which will lead to importing 80,000 tonnes of coffee this year.

No. Just paid cash.

They are not criminals until they have been convicted in a court of law. Everyone in the US has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

Didn't they Grandfather everyone who was already on an extension to the previous financial requirement last time there was an increase?

A cardboard box works as well.
