When I was in Luang Prabang a couple of weeks ago I saw buses advertised from LP to Hanoi.

It would be seen as an onshore account, you get a local account number to transfer funds to. My account is in the UK and I have been asked recently to confirm I pay tax in the UK.

This is what was said. "So you can be denied a visa if you were given a ticker for having a broken taillight???? " Where exactly does "depend" come into it, distorting the context also leads to false information.

I would have thought that you would have realised that a 16 page application is nothing more than an attempt to deter people from applying, the answers themselves are subject to guidance. The EU tourist visa application is 4 pages and free to family members.

What on earth makes you think a yes answer means denial. Comments like that are how false information gets spread.

Different area, different construction. No pile driving for mine. The piller steelwork sits on a 1m square concrete pad a metre deep. The land was raised about half a metre and sat for 6 months before construction. Started end of Oct as the rain came to an end and completed end of Feb.

When I buil my house in 2009 I went for cavity wall construction and it has been a real bonus. During the really hot weather the concrete floor and internal walls provide enough heatsink from the AC during the night to keep the internal ambient lower than outside till the following evening. Not much heatsink in drywall. You are quite right, my son bought a new build about 3 years ago near Sheffield and that is drywall, absolute rubbish.

What do you mean "work". Applicants have to declare all previous names. As any financial advisor will say, previous performance is no guarantee of future performance. The OP would be well advised to kick it into the long grass for a few years rather than risk it going pear shaped at this point in time. If as he suggests the application would a bit stronger as a spouse than a GF. My wife got her passport back on Friday, 15 days after the appointment at Trendy, not a lot of time for checking up.

It is a Yes or No answer. At any time have you ever had any of the following in the UK or in another country? A criminal conviction A penalty for a driving offence, for example disqualification for speeding or no motor insurance An arrest or charge for which you are currently on, or awaiting trial A caution, warning, reprimand or other out-of court penalty A civil court judgment against you, for example for non payment of debt, bankruptcy proceedings or anti-social behaviour

Only if you are looking for diagnosis in which case you pay more for a faster service. As a routine checkup it's a pretty good deal. I go every couple of years and the bloods are a good crosscheck on the more routine bloods from my usual hospital. Each to their own.

May well be, I haven't stayed there for over 20 years. I was referring to the same era as the original post.

That description was incomplete but you are free to believe what suits.

Of course you can register with your passport. When the wife of another foreigner that goes to the same hospital as me found out what the hospital had done, she rung them up and asked why her husband hadn;t been treated in the same way. Hospital told her it was because he had registered with a passport. Wouldn't touch pfizer with a barge pole, had 4 doses of AZ, the last one over a year ago. Friend of mine developed an autoimmune disorder and became suicidal, fortunately held on and after about 2 years getting on top of it. Studies from the US would indicate it was a result of the pfizer vaccine.

The Cancer hospital at Chonburi does a check up package for 1600 baht, 1300 for those without a prostate. Includes full bloods, urine and stool analysis, X-ray and ECG. Downside, need to make appointment and results take about a month.

Hasn't been that price for a long time, unless they brought it down again. We used to go as club members and they stopped that. Last time we went, a while before the pandemic, didn't realise it had gone up to 499 but they gave us a discount as a party of 6. Not been back since. Pity really as I thought it was better than the Dusit.

Still closed as far as I am aware, same with the Lek. I think all the old budget buffets have gone. Stayed at the Apex in my early days, got a paper and spent most of the morning in the buffet. Room 235 Apex Hotel was the address on my first bank account.

There was no confusion during the pandemic. I am registered at the hospital with the pink card and the hospital put me on Mor Phrom. Almost front of the queue when the vaccine rollout started.

Quite right. My number starts 6-2001 and my wife is 3-2001. The 2001 is the main amphur in Chonburi, nothing in the 13 digits that relate to nationality.

You have only addressed mobile data. Mobile data and data roaming are normally 2 different settings. Using a UK sim in Thailand would be a case of data roaming. If your phone does not address data roaming then you may well have to look at something else.

Yes it is Giffgaff. Only need to make a call or text every 6 months to keep account active. When I go to the UK I buy a 30 day data package, several options to choose from. I had Lebara before and lost 2 sims as they are ony 12 weeks allowance on useage.

Yes, I got a new credit card in Oct and that is similar but unlike Wise has the card number on the back. My debit card which I got sometime after the Wise card was still the old embossed format, change is in the air. Only come across one problem with the Wise card and that was in Wetherspoons. Their app wanted to scan the card and to do so needs to see the card number, real money saved the day.

A bit strange. My phone is a budget dual sim android and most of the time I have had a sim and micro SD. Since I came back from the UK last Aug the UK sim is still in the phone and enabled, not seen any difference in battery usage which is generally quite low, about 20% a day. Maybe Iphones are a bit different.

Nobody ever knew what the referendum was about, there was never any comprehensive white paper published before the vote, every Tom, Dick and Harry had nothing but an opinion. The NI issue was brought up well before the vote but DC was so convinced he would win it, along with other issues, were never brought to the public's attention. Had there been a white paper there would never have been a protocol to try and fix.

Bit of a frustrating way to learn. First time I went to the UK with dual sim phone I got a bit confused. Had to go through the user manual to check out the settings to find out what was going on. First thing I do now when I get a new phone. Nobody is born knowlegeable, and knowledge, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Quite, should have said wrong approach, but certainly the wrong attitude.
