  1. It can be that quick but the last envelope I sent to UK using Thai registered post, about six weeks ago, spent 12 days in customs at Heathrow according to the tracking. The letter previous to that had no tracking information updates after leaving Thailand until delivery 21 days after posting. If you want guaranteed speed best to use a courier service.
  2. Not too many surprises in the list. Singapore and Malaysia were both British colonies. Philippines had a significant American presence. Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia also had years of foreign influence. I'm sure the education system has it's place in the poor rating but is far from the only cause.
  3. Fitted a new chain and sprockets to my CB300F. First time dealing with o-ring chains and it is a bit of a pain compared to mucking about on two stroke bikes years ago. Got to try out my new wheel alignment gizmo.
  4. Agree with LS24, 1.3Mb failed with error code 200.
  5. Trying 1.2Mb. Getting error code 200 for that size. Sorry but haven't got time at the moment to search for images smaller than that. Thanks for your help George.
  6. Would appear to be a size issue.
  7. I will try to upload the same image as you below.
  8. Works for you but doesn't for me, strange.
  9. Nothing has appeared in my posted message. I got the same error as ravip posted. Maybe you could try to upload an image to this topic from your phone and see the error message yourself?
  10. Image attempt below. Size 4Mb, jpg.
  11. I tried to attach two images using the add files option and got a "sorry there was a problem, error code 200" message. The images were just standard photos taken with my phone which have always been acceptable before.
  12. Thai Post is not the problem. My last set of documents sent to UK via Thai Post registered mail spent two weeks in customs at Heathrow.
  13. Posted 21 hours ago. Bit of a lightweight if you have only got two pints down by 11am.
  14. As I said, I wish to buy my spectacles online. The only thing I need is a new prescription. Thanks for your help.
  15. I took your advice and used Google. All the answers were spectacles shops. You had a test yesterday last week? Did they hand you the prescription? I can get an eye test in every spectacles shop in town for free but none of them will give me a prescription.
  16. I can find plenty of optometrists in my area but they are all in shops that sell spectacles. They will only give you your prescription once you have purchased spectacles from them. The place in JJ did an eye test but would not give me the prescription. A pair of progressive lenses there ranged from 20- 28,000 baht. I wish to buy my spectacles online but require a prescription to do so. I will gladly pay a spectacles shop for a prescription but can't find one willing to do it without purchasing spectacles.
  17. Where do you go if all you want is a prescription? Tried an opticians in JJ mall a few weeks ago and they wouldn't do it. Using a hospital seems overkill but is that the only way?
  18. Open YouTube, select your profile and one of the options is "Get YouTube Premium".
  19. You may want to read this first. Depending on your nationality it may or may not affect you. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/tax-resident-nowhere-kathleen-di-paolo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_mobile_web&utm_campaign=copy
  20. Wisdom teeth can cause symptoms without necessarily being infected. Not all infections cause a fever.
  21. Thanks for the link. I tried spraying with Bordeaux mixture last year which is a copper fungicide with mixed results. The black spots and shrivelling only seem to affect new growth and don't seem to spread to twigs or older growth. I have some copper and lime left over from last year so may go round spraying tomorrow and see if it helps.
  22. Firstly I am not a farmer but have a large garden with a lot of mango trees. The mango trees are all grafted varieties planted by us and range from a few months old to about 20 years old. Every year I get a problem with the new growth getting covered in dark spots and becoming shrivelled. There is also a problem with what I believe to be leaf cutting weevils. I have had some success against the leaf cutting insects by spraying cypermethrin. Can anyone give any advice on what is causing the dark spots and shrivelled leaves and how to prevent it please?
  23. If you have had a physical check and everything is ok maybe try a dentist. Wisdom teeth problems can cause several of the symptoms you describe.
  24. There are two stories on a few solicitors websites regarding domicile. Sir Richard Burton spent the last 17 years of his life living in Switzerland to avoid UK inheritance tax. HMRC considered him still UK domiciled after his death because his funeral instructions were that he be buried wearing a red jacket, holding a book of Dylan Thomas's poems and his coffin be draped in the Welsh Flag. The other is a financier who moved to Monaco. After he died HMRC found that people familiar with him mentioned that he hated Monaco and spent most of his time in Paris. With regard to Thailand I suspect it is hard to do unless you have a minimum of permanent resident status. Hard to claim it is your permanent home if you are on yearly extensions of a non immigrant O. The UK solicitors I spoke to regarding wills, inheritance tax, domicile etc. were unwilling to give a definitive answer other than I would more than likely be considered domiciled in the UK.
  25. The Will validity is my signature and the signatures of the two witnesses. Unless another Will is written at a later date it remains valid. I suspect the MOFA is just a step in the usual Thai bureaucracy needed before a Thai court will accept it.
