why was it not peaceful. Please share this experience with us

I woke up at 8am and decided to go for a walk/ run down beach road. At most of the bars, there was one old guy drinking a beer. I was a bit shocked to see this. Recently I went for a late breakfast 1130am with an old POM friend of mine whose aged in 70s. We walked into a bar/rest' and he saw the fridge with beers in it. He couldn't help himself. He ordered a full English breakfast but didnt drink the hot tea included. What time do you have your first one. Are you in control of your habit?

If you got a fine there on your thai license would you have to pay that?

whats the website for that? Or does one apply from the motherland country only? Or is there 1 place everyone applies?

Im over here long term now and have no intention to ever live back in the mother country. My drivers/ bike license from the mother land will expire early next year. I have my Thai drivers and bike license which I renewed last year. I cannot remember if I had to show my DL from back home. I think I didn't. Is that correct? To renew thai DL one doesnt need to show the DL from Western country? Im sure I only showed my passport So in my circumstances should I just let my current DL expire? In worse case scenario, if I ever did have to move back home, I could just re apply for a new one. If I ever wanted to rent a car, in Europe for example, would they accept a thai DL? Or do they require International DL thanks

what a waste of time. are you from a nanny state. Always abide by the rules?

But they are all sh%t coins. You cannot compare them to bitcoin at all. Ridiculous comment.

If you go to the old approval letter that was granting the 3 year visa doesn't it say something along the lines of the fact that the visa holder must be out of the country before the expiry date? If I were you I would send a copy of that letter/ info via email to the Oz consulate in bkk and ask them for an answer.

I live in another province of Thailand and visit Bangkok once a month. In the next year or 2 I intend to apply for Thai citizenship and understand that I need to get an address in Central Bangkok in order to apply at the special branch office in Siam. I intend to move my yellow book to the new address. If I wanted a small studio condo in Asoke / Nana area how much would I be paying. What reputable websites should I look at? Do landlords allow yellow books being updated on their property? I read somewhere that some of them dont like this at all. thanks

please provide pricing if you have time. thanks

Ive been here 7 to 8 years. Im well above beginners level in general conversation but finding it tough to improve more. My wife doesnt have time and is a poor teacher anyway. I should practice more with my kid but forget most of the time. I had a good teacher a few years ago but I started to fancy her a bit and think she noticed; and due to fear of something happening as a married man I quit her services. She was a good teacher and I cant find anyone as good as her actually. I have a new teacher now and she's been helping me learn the thai alphabet. She is also quite pretty but Im trying to concentrate on the language. I have 1 lesson a week with her. In 3 to 4 months Ive nearly memorised the whole alphabet. I spend 30min a day at my kids school whilst waiting for pickup. I test myself 2 ways. I have a list of all letters and can remember how to say them all. Also I have the list written down eg Gor gai, etc, etc. I can write each letter down correctly. Question is should I move onto memorising and saying the thai consonants? And then learn to read? Or should I move onto solely learning conversational thai. I want to apply for thai citizenship in a year or two. Need to improve that. Should I try an online tutor? Does that work? All I can say is that learning a language like this is great for memory training. Im exercising the brain everyday in this regard. If I can do it anyone can. Any suggestions are appreciated.

We have an existing system installed 4 yrs ago. Some of the cameras are having issues and malfunction a bit. I tried to get the old company to come and take a look but they never turn up. I ended up sending them a message saying I will use another company. I wanted to know are they able to control the cameras on the cloud using their admin credentials on my cctv system? If I want to change companies should we be asking them for admin passwords etc? I wanted to upgrade the cameras. Last time he was out he said he checked our recorder device can use with 5mp infared camera but not support full color bc the new firmware of camera has changed. If we want much better quality cameras can I assume that we have to upgrade the box device. Do they have to change ALL the wiring? thanks

I've been registered at this same address in the yellow book tabian bahn for several years I think Ive never had to show a copy of it when applying for my yearly renewal of marriage visa and work permit. I cant remember to be honest. I think I tried giving them a copy but they didnt want it. Am I correct in assuming that if I want to change the address (of my yellow book) to a friends bangkok address to thus satisfy the requirement for applying for Citizenship in bangkok..... it should not be a problem? My wifes blue book tabian bahn would be at our home address but my yellow book would be a bangkok address. Any issues for me? thanks

If by metal you mean corrogated iron then you will 100% have to remove the ugly old tiles. Can we assume theres wooden rafters/ beams under the current tiled room supporting it? If so then the new corrogated iron roof will be screwed into that. But first you should lay the insulation sheeting down and then put the iron on top. Must use the insulation. Years ago I didnt do it and had mouldy ceilings a few yrs later. Fixed it by laying the thick insulation in the ceiling above the gypsum.

well said sir
