Fords are obsolete as soon as you buy them and seem to have a recall rate higher than most.

Not if the tenants behaviour causes the infestation. Landlord probably responsible to carry out building alterations to prevent rats getting in with tenant responsible for extermination

1000bht!

Dragon Lady is on the family desk. She gets grumpy because she has to check mounds of unnecessary paperwork for sending to HQ whereas the retirement desk just rubber stamps handfuls of retirement extension's without paperwork presented by numerous Pattaya agents raking in satisfyingly large fees. No wonder the Dragon Lady breathes fire!

Need to cut the immigration regulation and beuracracy and do everything on line

Just been for my 3 month blood test. Annoying to have to wait for result and then wait for doctor to come back from lunch. Doctor also wanted me to see another doctor for second opinion which would have incolved another long wait so I refused and he made me sign a disclaimer! Every hospital visit makes me feel unwell. Spending the whole day for a blood test and follow up makes it even worse. Referral to a second doctor doubles the fee and uncertainty and is part of the guessing game consisting of 'now try this and see if it works' that doctors pursue

Did mine at Bangkok Bank Theprasit Rd . Quite fiddly needing 2 staff to make work. Still have to do Krungsri which I anticipate will be even more fiddly. Problem is getting saved image to line up on their system and on my phone

What is the problem? Thais have always worn masks in public areas and long may it stay that way. Farangs should follow suit opting for the higher hygiene standard. That is why Thailand fared better during the pandemic.

Your passport can be returned to you by your agent after VPS has seen it and then you can wait until your new one is ready before giving your old passport to your agent to collect your new one so in all although the entire process takes 7-11 weeks you will only be without your passport for a few days. Don't leave your passport with your agent except for the trip to Trendy. UK passports are actually made in India.

Our neighbour is unfit to drive. He has hit our truck twice and just hit the wall in front of his house. He has a health impediment of some sort. Wife่ has told him not to drive or she will call the police as he is a danger to himself and others. What would you do?

Garbage truck just arrived. Once a week collection. (Dark side) Garbage always stinks. Didn't have collection for a couple of weeks because neighbour parked awkwardly as battery flat. Now parked properly but hit our truck twice doing it. Garbage truck driver negotiates his large vehicle without problem. We just can't win!

Take note of the agents bringing in piles of passports and use that agent

Still waiting for my life certificate letter from DWP. My frozen pension got cancelled this mth despite me not moving for 10yrs. My other pensions allow emailed responses. DWP say they mailed to my address in their records but despite doing this twice before nothing has come. Their contact Nos is always busy so I used their query email to get a blank form but they won't accept an email back so after 7days still waiting for my EMS to get to their mailing address. Next year I will send them a Life Cert in Feb even if they don't ask for it! Chronic maladministration! Too busy paying out inflated 2000gbp to expats in the Phillipines to bother with my frozen 800gbp

Yes I have to switch Norton off to access my BB account!

Had my meagre frozen pension stopped this month because I have not sent my Life Cert to the DWP! Have responded twice before in previous years at some cost but this time I haven't received anything from the DWP. Tried ringing them but phone always busy. Used their query email and they did email blank forms. Completed them and emailed them back and got a shouty reply accusing me of trying to jump the queue. Have EMSd the forms back but as I have not moved for 10yrs this is clear maladministration! My other pension providers managed to mail me and accepted emailed replies. Particularly galling when UK (and Phillipine and USA expats) have just had their base pension increased to 2000gbp per mth compared to my frozen 800k

Just been to Bangkok Bank and had my photo taken apparently for transfers over 50k. Now have to go to Krungsri to do the same. My Thai wife has 4 accounts with Thai banks and hasn't been notified by any of them. My UK bank has also suggested I use facial recognition. Krungsri says I need to do this before next mth. Does anyone know why they are doing this and if we will still receive OTPs or SMSs as before? And of course why Thai's are exempt?

Held back on the napalm this time? Good for you!

He obviously hasn't read it!

Just done my 90 day today. No reminder sent but I have it in my calendar. As usual had problem finding the site but once in they accepted the notification immediately and 1hr later approved it (Jomtien)

Yes not so many. My dog ignores them and 1 gecko comes out to feed when I feed the dog looking at me expectantly until I give him some dog food

Well done that man! And the DWP thinks us old fs are not IT savvy and can only use snail mail!

I have used the Thai Living Law office on Thappraya Rd in Jomtien for 1000bht Having had my pension stopped and getting engaged all the time on their phone I used the query form on the International Pension Centre website of the DWP and they kindly emailed a blank form. I think they realise that all the industrial action in the UK is delaying post as I haven't changed my address for 10yrs and have done at least 3 POLs before

I last returned mine using Thai track and trace which worked up until a UK Post Office collection box

Haven't received anything from the DWP but they stopped payments on the 16 May. Have done this twice before and used the living law centre jomtien who are notaries. Normally 1 mth from UK and 1 mth back so no chance of 16 day response Been emailing and ringing DWP everyday. Phone busy and no response to email! Does anyone have a blank copy of the DWP form?
