  1. If Google can afford to send vehicles to photograph road maps they should conduct a proper verification prior to publication of reviews.
  2. Anyone with any experience for attracting butterflies in their garden! What varety of flowers found in Isaan gardens seem to attract the most butterflies? No not the two leg Bar Flies please,
  3. Have you tried the Thai Embassy in London? I found it a nightmare applying online. Gave up and entered Visa Exempt. Then with a local agency obtained a retirement one year visa.
  4. This comment has been broadcast repeatedly by many over the last two decades. When driving licenses are earned through proper efficiency tested on public roads, not via a Test Center system and generous donations we may see an improvement in safety and courtesy on the roads.
  5. Is anyone in the Gov., investigating the huge FU in their procedures?

  7. Thank you. I do wish some of the posters answer the questions asked instead of jumping on their hobby horse.
  8. Me too. They have no idea about the concept of "Customer First".
  9. Can the TM30 be completed and registered online? If I am staying in a Province where the nearest IMO is located in another province can my friends submit the form there? Is there a time limit to submitting a hard copy? Years ago I just reported my presence at the local Tambon Police Station! I cannot recall a TM30 being mentioned. Last year my hosts were fined 1600 B for not submitting the form. when they asked how they would know of the various forms needed by foreigners the response was, "You have to know!" What is the IQ level required by IMOs when joining the Ministry?
  10. Refer Section 3.2 Upload your photograph in the Evisa Application form. It is JPEG 3 MB max.
  11. Refer Section 3.2 Upload your photograph in the Evisa Application form. It is JPEG 3 MB max.
  12. Using an ATM card!! It is probably the most expensive way to transfer funds.
  13. Not in Thailand. I recall a Thai owned and managed bar located opposite attractive competitively priced one. While the latter was busy the former empty decided to raise their prices when questioned the response was "we are not making any profit we have to increase price".
  14. a truism applicable to all democracies. show me a country where this is not true!
  15. Yes, I had two officers visit my home in SURIN Province some 8 years ago. We had to call the village headman to confirm my good behavior etc., They stopped procrastinating when I produced photos of my house during it being built. I have no idea why this whole procedure was necessary as I had been renewing my Retirement Visa annually for the previous 7 years. They left happy with some T bags. I discovered later that both officers were visitors from BKK. They were thirsty!
  16. Why not place a weighing m/c near the baggage Xray system and bar anyone exceeding the limit?
  17. It appears that this Embassy has not changed its work ethics and processes! I gave up trying after several attempts back in 2020.
  18. i have been using XE on a regular basis to transfer GBP to THB. I have no complaints. it is the Thai Banks` fees that vary. enquire before deciding!
  19. It is not a new policy. The same thing happened to me in 2013 when living at a Ban in Surin Province.
