Probably not going to be a follow up. But I the shop confirmed that the necklace was not bought from them as it didn't have their stamp in the gold. Further investigation revealed that the son had a copy made and swapped it out. Cashing in the original gold to feed his drink/drug habit.

Thanks for help, 

Age  60

Phetchabun area

getting married  ASP

2 young daughters

 

Will be looking to bring £50k  (do i have until the end of 2025 to do this).

I have not been to Thailand for nearly 2years.

Plenty of warning signs in your post.

1. You have not been to Thailand in 2 years and yet you are getting married soon. Assume you have not seen girlfriend for the same period. Recipe for disaster.

2. You have sold your UK house which means nothing to fall back on if things go wrong. Whose idea was it to sell? Recipe for disaster.

3. You are moving to the middle of nowhere. Where will you live? Recipe for disaster.

Yes thanks I have seen those. Do you know what I have to upload to register as a Foreigner?

Just visited Jomtien immigration for a Residence Certificate for driving licence. I was informed at the Residence desk that I havnt updated my TM30 since I changed my passport 2 years ago, even though I have renewed my extension of stay and done online 90 reports over the 2 year period. I assume this is correct. 

The queue for the TM30 was massive as immigration closed tomorrow for Big Buddha day. I thought I would do online. At first glance this looks complicated, any views/advice?

5g and it's not fibre as far as I am aware as I've never upgraded it.

You probably were upgraded free of charge. I am with 3bb and they upgraded me a few years ago. Most connections are fibre now

Special Negotiation Room?

This is my first time know about where the famous Brown Envelop Transaction takes place.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

You don't even have  to look for it it's not hidden, it's in the main area in full view.

I have a duel draw air fryer, perfect. The picture of burnt chips is laughable.

The best beer in Thailand by a country mile is the Thai version of a German beer Federbrau. It's 4.8% not overly strong but a clean crisp taste. It's 755 baht for a 12 box in Lotus's. Downside is very few bars in Pattaya sell it. I did enjoy a couple of pints of draft at the airport last April.

Deodorant is disgusting. Shower, get a fresh shirt.

Deodorant just covers up the sweat smell. Anti perspirant like Sure or Right Guard is what most people use. The problem with a lot of people is that they may shower but don't change their shirt or wash it properly. It's old sweat that skinks not fresh perspiration.

By the way, do they do 90-day reports? Last time I was with them, this was not included.

I do my own 90 day reports online, but they will do the report for you at an extra cost

To the OP

1. Your existing Bangkok Bank account is fine.

2. No address proof needed

3. 100 days before due date, no loss on time

4. Based on Cambodia Travel soi Bukaou. Maneerat slightly cheaper,but they use the Bangkok Bank in Central. Cambodia Travel the one on Pattaya Klang, for less busy.

Assuming it was a similar time you travelled to the UK last year then you might just have got in before the rules changed.  I entered last year at the end of September and got 90 day approved online in December, but by a trip in March this year my online application was rejected.  Also Jomtien office.

Similar time frame for me. See what happens this year at end of February.

How do you track somebody?

Lots of apps that track someone's phone as long as people accept the invite you can set up a group with as many people as you wish.

I have been using  the online 90 day reporting for a number of years. My TM30 is also 5 years old. I go to the UK once a year for 4 months and always return to the same address. Every time after my return to Thailand for my first report online it Has been accepted, despite numerous posts saying the first report after leaving Thailand and returning has to be done in person. This time I returned end of November. My first report is due around end of February, let's see what happens. My office is Jomtien (Pattaya). Never had any online reports rejected.

To deflect slightly, my registration plate is now 17 years old, and the black numbers are worn to the point of it being unreadable at a distance. I was told by a Thai that it is illegal to repaint them. Is this true?

It is illegal to repaint the numbers in the plate. However my wife bought a marker pen on Lazada and repainted ours. She did a great job, you wouldn't know the difference. It's your call

At least all the roads in the area will get completely resurfaced, will end up as the best roads in Bangkok.

Agree with that, but it will take them years to complete the roads as it does now.

Sympathy for the mother but not for the woman who died. She wasn't a kid, she was 36 for heavens sake.
