THai Passport Office use EMS to send passport. Canadian Embassy also use EMS tto send passport after renewal.
Just saying .
I've used the Thai postal service for many years and found them to be extremely reliable. When Brits use an agent to have their passports renewed they all use the EMS service.

5 minutes ago, steven100 said:that's fine and while I agree ... what about the leg muscles and bones not being exercised at all everyday. I think both the mind and the body tissue / muscles need attention each day.
For the average person there are 16 hours per day available for 'activities' in the broadest sense. Surely in that time there is enough available to be able to exercise both body and mind. I generally exercise for around 2 hours per day and I will also get up from the desk regularly and just move around some.
You must have heard the term: 'sitting is the new smoking'. I actually get a bit cranky if I don't get up and move regularly. As I'm about to do so right now!

Another big advantage of a computer is that you can't walk around streets with your eyes glued to it as so many folks do with their phones nowadays.

I don't think I'd be able to do the paperwork for my annual extension without my computer. So even at 78 years old I still make the effort to remain as computer literate as I can. And although phone apps have taken over when it comes to banking, having on-line banking can still come in handy.
I also subscribe to an on-line Qigong training academy from which I have greatly benefitted. To learn this art to the level that I have would have been impossible 20 years ago.
I also like to play logic games such as Sudoku and Kakuro. It all helps to keep those brain cells engaged and active. Use it or loose it as they say.

Thai men working??? Sure they weren't from a neighboring country.?
What a crass post this is. Even on the back of someone's death, you cannot resist the urge to 'Thai bash' can you. Pathetic!

Actually, wine prices have been falling in Europe, due to the decrease in wine drinking because of studies claiming that no amount of alcohol is safe to drink. I remember reading a while back that the average price paid by Germans for table wine was $1.89. Well, we can only dream about that here.
Europe, especially France has been accused of overproduction of wine for decades. But nothing has ever been done about it. So now they're feeling the pinch. C'EST LA VIE.

"Go" bag reflects noob naivete.
For decades, long before WW3 fears, our shrewdest members have known that the real problem is the Thais. All the xenophobia, mistreatment, changing visa rules, price gouging, scamming, no smiling, indifferent sales clerks, hostile banks, confiscatory taxes, and insulting haircuts that show they don't want us here. In general, it's just that incomprehensible lack of love towards the poor farang just for showing up and being their lovable fat selves in cargo shorts, looking for cheap beer and pussy. It's all about money!!! NAKED DISGUSTING GREED for which life among the benevolent populace in the UK never prepared us.
So you never know what more nasty surprises THEY have in store for us! Be ready to RUN.
ANOTHER pothole targeted at farangs? Thais! How much more???
What we're looking for here is the classic, shrewd, street-smart ANF Poster Three Primal Laws Of Survival In Thailand, distilled over many years from the sage advice of our most knowledgeable members. Here ya go:
1. Never invest in anything you aren't ready to lose;
2. Never own more than you can carry with you or leave behind;
3. Keep your suitcase packed at all times.
There. All any foreigner needs. Now, enjoy!
Quoting one or more of the Laws gives you ten (+10) instant points of ANF posting cred from the peanut gallery.
What a load of xenophobic drivel!

I'm 78 years old, which means about 55 years of drinking. (I drastically reduced my intake about 5 years ago) I also consumed alcohol whilst living in 6 different countries and in all that time I have never, ever known booze prices to come down. So my expectations are not very high.

also could pls confirm why they have to grind instead of replacing?
There should be no need to grind new plates. However I'm puzzled by your posts. In your O/P you said that the quote was for replacements. Now you're talking about grinding instead of replacing. Which is it?

1 hour ago, Raindancer said:1 hour ago, norfolkandchance said:Just transferred money to my Thai account. Arrived in seconds.
1 hour ago, Raindancer said:I also transferred funds using funds for monthly expenses.
This time it will arrive in 8 hours.
Last month it arrived within seconds. Go figure.
Many years of using Wise have taught me some simple lessons.
1. Unless you have to, do not use the 'Funds for long term stay' option. That always introduces a delay.
2. The earlier in the day you initiate your transfer request, the more chance you have of getting an instant payout into your Thai bank account. Almost all of my transfers are initiated at just after 6am. (7am when the UK move their clocks back) and they invariably arrive instantly.
If I delay my request, as I have done this morning, I have to wait awhile. They've just just quoted 2 hours, but I'm not holding my breath. Fortunately I'm in no hurry for it. I'm attributing this delay to the simple fact that I've probably joined a queue, which I would otherwise have avoided.

11 hours ago, gargamon said:What is your Thai bank? 3 banks, last time I looked into it, were direct. My transfers show up within a few minutes to K-bank. Large transfers may be overnight. The other two fast banks are BKK and SCB I think.
As far as I'm aware, funds will arrive in moments, sometimes even seconds into any Thai bank providing one doesn't select the 'Funds for long term stay' option. I use Krungsri and almost all of my transfers arrive in seconds.
I always use the Wise app @OJAS. I've never had any issues with it.

I opened them immediately and told the delivery man to take them back. He said no and refused. He was very impolite. That is illegal. I threw them at his head and he tried to assault me.
I think you should be teaming up with @123Stodg and help him with his research:

Products with opened boxes are returned to the company to be repackaged without loss of stock to the vendor!
Where on earth did you get that nonsense from? It's a standard policy in the retail sector that if products such as this show any signs of having been tampered with, it is automatically destroyed.
That is why the staff in 7-11 stopped you from opening the cartons and quite rightly so.

Actually he has scored a 'first' with me. He is the first poster has joined the forum and was placed on my 'ignore user' list within 48 hours of doing so. Congratulations @Mekmong MICK

I replaced my glasses with contact lens - now blurry vision

The prescription for contact lenses is rarely the same as that for spectacles. You do need to have an eye test to establish the correct lenses for your vision.
