Lovely says I so off I toodle to reap my millions. Nope, was told only Thai leople can redeem lottery. Nuf said.

"Pausing" road tax
I heard a rumor.... Just throwing this out there in case anyone has any info. Have a friend whose husband passed and his bike gives her fond memories and I had heard that it is possible to pause the road tax/green book so it does not need to go for inspection every year as it never sees the black of a road enymore and prevent the green book from expiring. Cheers in advance troops.

What is the current 2025 Cost of a Cremation in Thailand?
I can confirm that the basic fee is in the region of 30,000. That is no frills basic cremation. Anything else is above and beyond but the base fee covers all of the necessities right up to ashes collection by next of kin/friend.

No, it is a form of cancer. Basal, squamous and melanoma. If unchecked it gets nasty.

Pls Recommend Skin Cancer Clinic...Thanks!!
Bumrungrad in Bkk has an excellent dermatology center, I speak from experience. Not cheap but very good. I have had numerous basal cell carcanomas excised so consider myself a fair expert. Liquid nitrogen is only effective for keratosis, pre-cancerous lesions. Surgery is required to confirm entire excision of affected tissue. Most of the Bangkok Hospital chain have dermatology units, I use the Bangkok Samui for my events. Please feel free to pm me if I can be of any help. Good luck!

What's Your Top Tip for Maintaining a Motorbike in Thailand's Humid Climate?
Wax. It is that simple. A good quality wax, I use Bilt Hamber double speed wax on the whole bike with the exception of hot bits. So rims, chrome and paint all get some love.

Airline resident card
I am done with this stupidity.

Airline resident card
Oxford dictionary definition of monopoly. The exclusive possession or control of or trade in a commodity or service.

Airline resident card
Ok, going to try to do this without being sued. I have been trying for the last month to get an explanation regarding the tightening of the resident card for discounted fares. It has been....frustrating to say the least. Basically if you are not married to a Thai or the owner of a company (which is illegal if you are using nominee share holders) you cannot get a card. I operate under a 30 year lease in our property in my Thai partners name which is not good enough apparently. I guess it is just another case of a conglomerate monopoly doing as they wish.

Driver's License Guide - Koh Samui
I have just done my renewal and it has been streamlined. You need to pass an online test, photocapture the acknowledgment of completion. Bring expired licence. Medical certificate, got mine at Thai Inter in Chaweng, eye test included. Face page from passport, signed. Visa page from passport, signed. Licence office is upstairs now, you can go any time. Present your documents, do the Depth, color and reflex tests. Pay 505 baht and done. I was in and out in 20 minutes.

No charge. N.B. If you have renewed your passport since your TM30 issue you need a copy of the visa transfer stamp in your new passport, signed. No pictures!
