My dogs don't wear sunglasses either... but they eat Som-Tum!

Note:

I read this post entirely and found it a bit too serious, too scientific and sometimes a bit aggressive... then my answer is for make you smile only... don't think anything bad about it

What's the most adventurous thing you've done in Thailand

Meet my GF's mom!

Maybe they confuse the meters... you pay for the neighbour and your neighbour pays for you and that since you moved in!
There is a switch near your electrical meter. Switch it off and wait until someone complains. You will see who's bill you pay.

Are you sure you have a water meter? I used to live with a girl in a 6 condo building and there was only one meter. The consumed water was divided by 6 regardless if the condo was occupied or not...

Not sure I understand what the reference to the "US Consulate" is if the O/P has a Belgian passport.

The quotes only show that a letter from your Embassy or Consulate was mandatory in some Immigration Offices. I am aware that I will get official documents only from the Belgian Embassy!

I didn't get a receipt either but it's OK.

I paid for my new passport + new ID card from the Belgian Embassy in Paris only 57 €...

So i read from truemove H site that if you exchange a certain number of 7-11 stamps you can get a free prepaid credit card with some credit 50+ bht i think.

Did you have enough stamps ?

14 stamps (even with the value "3") is not a lot...

When my piggy bank is full, I bring it to the 7/11 where I always buy my stuff. They take it and check it later when they have time. On my next visit, they credit my 7/11 card.

I never checked how many coins there are in the pot but I am every time surprised that it's so much money. I am sure they don't cheat me!

Other activities include the release of 8,400,000 marine animals,

I'm curious to know what kind of animals they will release...

They cannot deny entry for having to many tourist visa entries. The could deny entry for not having financial proof if you could not show the equivalent of 20k baht in cash it they asked for it.

Whether you will have a problem getting another tourist visa will depend upon where you apply for it.

As far as I remember, I read somewhere on the TV forum that the sum of your stays in Thailand (TV and 30 days on arrival) cannot exceed 6 months/year. I might be wrong...

BUT

In 2012, the Thai Embassy in Paris didn't give me a visa because there were no 3 months gone since my leaving of Thailand.

Jedsada

It's like Wicks Vapo Rub (Sorry I don't know if the same name in English).

And I wouldn't eat it!..

The stickers are magic:

I got a chair. Since then the dog doesn't come on the couch any more and always sit on the chair.

I got a children swimming-pool. Since then the GF ran away with her children.

I got an umbrella. Since then we had no more rain.

I got a nice "no fat needed" cooking pan. Since then I gained 8 kg more.

I'm curious what comes as next gift...

... a consular car registration, housing and diplomatic passport? 

Some will never understand that the free duty bought Jack Daniel's and Marlboro are less worth than their and others' life...

I can imagine that people who wakes up everyday with the worry of how they or they relatives will manage to pay their debt or with the worry of how they will manage to feed the children or with any other worries don't have the mood to know what happens in Syria or what currency they use in Laos.

They know that their 300 THB daily salary will be too short to go sleep without thoughts so why do they have to know about square yards, millilitre and 1.35% interest?

They were born with worries, live with worries and certainly will die with worries.

Sometimes, they see a light and they hope and are happy. Sometimes it's for a short moment then the light goes out when the Farang goes back home.

Don't blame anyone because they don't want to know what happens around them. We don't know what happens in them.

Should do the same in Farangland... maybe we would have effective governments!

I wonder that didn't happen earlier...

Getting married or not depends of the culture, religion and... the will to show the loved one that the love is real. It's everyone's choice.

I wouldn't marry any more but let's people get their own experience

But what I don't understand is people who plan to marry and already think about the divorce!

You could also apply for a non immigrant visa (class O) at some immigration offices up to the date you have 15 days remaining on the 30 day entry you got. You will need to show the 800k baht in the bank on the date you apply.

It's IMHO the simplest way to do it. I did it 2 years ago.

• Arrival 2 Aug 2014 with 30 days tourist visa on arrival - expires 31 Aug 2014
• Non-Immigrant (Non-"O") visa on 27 Aug 2014  expires 24 Nov 2014
• 1 year Retirement Extension on 24 Oct 2014 expires 24 Nov 2015

I don't remember how much I paid for fee but it was cheaper than to leave the country. As far as I remember, the IO made a 90 days Non-"O" visa because of the 800k were fresh on account.

Ooops!
Sorry, I just found all the smiley: > Categories > Emoticons 73

Thank you Tech Doctor for all the great job you do.

I am familiar with this layout because it's the same as the French Forum but I miss some features in the "Response Box" like colour  and size of the font, some smiley etc (and I mis them on the French Forum too ).

We will keep on meeting some bugs until the update is finished and we have to be patient. If it was so easy to update a site, everyone would do it!

As said above: Internet, water, electricity etc should be paid by direct debit. No more worries and no more "Sh!t I forgot to pay".

And if you fear that your bank account could be plundered, open a new one just for that and feed it every month with the necessary amount.
But it could also happen that one day you say "Sh!t, I forgot to feed the bank account"!  

Why not run to the bathroom to get some water? That would be my first thought, a fire does not ignite and burns down a house in a few seconds only, I agree with some of the posters that running out and leave the fire to spread at will was at least not really clever, was it?

It's the last thing I would do: to trow water on an burning electrical appliance!

Better trow a blanket on it.
