Second Chinese-Language Billboard Ad Emerges In Thailand
alanrchase replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
While the billboards may be a recent development there are plenty of shops that have been around for years that only have Chinese signage on them. Plenty of Chinese temples that have been around for years as well. Not to mention the Chinese new year celebrations. -
Reprocessed house
alanrchase replied to stupidfarang's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
She got tired of them not working and her having to pay their bills. She gave them a week to take their stuff so their fault if anything they wanted was damaged. She planned to renovate the house so the roof doors and windows were coming off anyway. My roof has not been touched. -
Reprocessed house
alanrchase replied to stupidfarang's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
My wife recently evicted a nephew out of a house on her property. Got the village head and a policeman round to explain everything to him. She put a sign on the door giving the nephew and his wife a week to take their belongings out of the house. When the week was up she had the roofing sheets, doors and windows removed so the rain could get into anything left in the house. A week later she started giving away anything the neighbours might want and bagging the rest for the trash collection. She is now having the house renovated. -
There is a legal requirement in Thailand to carry your passport with you when you are out and about. This is rarely enforced but is why you cannot renew online. Many other countries do not require you to carry your passport when you are out and about, you can leave it at your residence or at an hotel. Nothing to do with paranoia, I never carry my passport in Thailand unless I need it during my travel, eg. visiting the bank.

What are you on about? OP asked if it can be done online from Thailand. Another poster remarked that online renewal can be done in the UK. I replied to that post by mentioning that online renewal can also be done abroad but gave a reason why it is not allowed in Thailand. Then for some reason you stepped in and inferred I was wrong and should reference your post.

It can be done online from abroad as well. My sister did hers online from the US a few years ago. My understanding is one reason for not being able to do it online from Thailand is the (unenforced) requirement to carry your passport. Online renewal leaves you without a passport until the new one is delivered.

Galvanized steel has no oil on it. Still best to give it a clean before paint but a lot easier than cleaning mild steel.

Trump rushed off stage after possible assassination attempt

Lucky shot. Went in one ear and out the other so no damage done. -
All three of your examples appear to have a wall between them and the neighbouring property. If you want more privacy increase the height of the wall.

Pointless topic. People arguing the toss over an unknown location.

What to do when it's too hot in Bangkok?

Move to a lower floor so you are further away from the sun. -
Roojai anyone claimed for Windscreen insurance?
alanrchase replied to kwak250's topic in Insurance in Thailand
As far as I am aware Roojai are not an insurance company they are just the broker. They should help you with a claim but it will be up to the company you are insured with as to what is covered and who does repairs. My bike is insured via Roojai but the insurance company is Krungthai Panich Insurance. -
Isn't this a rehash of your sitting in a restaurant having a beer and saying hello to the owner in Thai and getting thrown out story?

Does the USA really always get its man?

Technically they did get their man. He took a plea deal. Plead guilty to one charge I believe. -

Cheapest source for monthly purchase of Xatral (Alfuzosin) - BPH
alanrchase replied to simon43's topic in Health and Medicine
I get mine prescribed at Siriraj government hospital. About 75 baht to see the urologist and 300 baht for a pack of 30 tablets. Last visit I got a six month supply. -
Khao San Road in a Frenzy as Authorities Crack Down on Laughing Gas
alanrchase replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The Medicine Act of 1967 makes it illegal. It is a controlled substance and you need a permit. I expect the whipped cream canisters are one of those Thai anomalies where food equipment gets a pass, a bit like buying food grade 100% ethanol. -
Mrs. Smith is really starting to get on my nerves!
alanrchase replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Wow, on the pi$$ by midday. I'm at home about to have an after lunch icecream. I'm not the one who claims to be a hard drinking womaniser though.
