all same

original and copy of marriage cert, signed by her, copy wife id or passport signed by her

copy her tabian baan signed by her

copies of your passport main page and entry/exit stamps

that's it and just fee and photos

The copy of the marriage certificate must be of both sides and as well as that you missed the completed application form. I know that application is obvious but he did ask "exactly". For 100THB the guy across the street will complete your application and check your docs. I did mine two weeks ago.

NCC1701A: 'And there is no money for the Bangkok elites in your proposal. It is a loss of income for them': Not quite. If I can't get my car here without the cutthroat duties, I won't import it NOR buy one here. And me not driving here means loss of income for the trade. 
 

The trade will, I am sure, in time get over your abstention but you will need to travel so other trades such as bus and taxi WILL benefit. Swings and roundabouts really.  

 A friend of mine used to run a pub and he barred a guy once for his continued disruption and complaints from other patrons. So the guy says "Right that's it, I am never coming here again" to which my friend replies "Yes, that is what I want" and the guy replies "You don't understand. I will never spend another penny in this place..................ever! " Somehow the guy thought he had won with that justification. Good luck with your plan to cause a loss of income to the trade.

Has it made a difference to your life and have you told the DWP about it, I'd keep stum if I was you.

Not yet but I expect there will be a huge difference when we get the empire back.

About three years ago I saw Nigel Farage down the pub. He was outside supping a pint and smoking a fag............in the rain! Bit strange I thought,  but anyway he reckoned that if I voted 'leave' I'd get an extra ten thousand pound a week in me pension. Does anyone know how I can apply for the extra money?

Can't see the Russians using anything less than a "9", see also Melanija Knavs (20 years ago anyway).

Yes, look at Anna Chapman. I'd say she was a '9'....................but wasn't she involved in real estate in New York? Oh, wait a minute............there was another guy involved in real estate in New York. What's his name?...........I think he used to be American........until he sold his country down the river recently.

I see some nookie bear guy selling double the size (1kg) for 200 baht but he's in nong khai. I am tempted to buy bulk.

He is in Nong Ki (Buriram), not Nong Khai, and the cheese he sells is very good.

You can contact the Kon Khen University, medical school, department of anatomy. They have forms available in order to register. But my source mentions that distance (transportation) may be a criteria and confirmed that being a foreigner implies - as mentioned above - some specific paperwork

 

Nice idea from you

A few years ago Luang Phor Koon donated his body to medical research in Khon Kaen. He died in a Korat hospital.  

Three years ago a young German guy came to our village with the intention of becoming a monk for a short time. He was in the temple for two weeks and then left and went back home. He could have stayed longer, he told me, but he had a job to go back to.

Pattaya?..........'nuff' said!

Ummm, nope.  In the U.S., Canada, and last I remember, Mexico, your are labeled as "Drunk" when you exceed the limit.  A country such as Japan, where the limit is ZERO (0.0), then I would accept the term "drink and drive".  No such correct grammar as, "Whoops, I was drink driving".  At least not with all the schooling I went through, and not on any Medical Journals I have read researching the topic, but then again, I don't get out much ... ?

In the UK a police officer can give 'expert opinion' to a court as to whether a person is drunk, in the case of 'Drunk and Incapable' or 'Drunk and Disorderly' the expertly observed elements of which can not be used in any case related to the use of a vehicle whilst intoxicated in order to prove the offence. Those observed elements can be used as a reason to ask for a breath/alcohol and/or blood test but can certainly be used in the event of a refusal of either. So, although a police officer can say a person is drunk and he can be convicted of being so it is a different matter when a person is driving. You do not have to be drunk to be convicted of a drink driving offence and that is the difference.

Last week I went for my 3 month Cardiology checkup. My bill is paid by the Government. I was told that I now need the Pink ID Card or will have to pay full rate next time.

My bill is B22,000 and I pay B280.  Guess I need to get the card.

It seems that the healthcare database is now centralised meaning that separate registration cards are no longer accepted  or required at hospitals. Last year when I registered at Suranaree University Hospital I was not issued with a card as at other hospitals but I was told to use my pink ID card should I seek medical treatment there. Of course, not everyone will benefit in this way but it is one way that the pink card has become more useful, to me anyway.

I have had a pink card for two years and this year something has changed in the way I can use it.  I have acquired a benefit I did not have before in using the card. My wife is a government employee and so I am eligible for government healthcare. Prior to this year I had to register at individual hospitals just in case I might require treatment. Each hospital issued it's own card. It seems that now the data-base is centralised and I can now use the pink ID card instead and do not have to register at each individual hospital. I realise that the healthcare issue will not affect most people holding a pink card but it does show that the ways in which the pink ID card is accepted are changing. That coupled with the inconsistency of most things here in Thailand means that what is accepted in one place may not be accepted in another. In other words you really do not know until you try.

I am sorry for the  dead peoples' families, but am curious as to why the scene is in  broad daylight at 7pm on Friday June 1st.  Isn't it nearly dark at that time down in Chonburi area?

On March 21st 18 people died in a bus crash on Highway 304 north of Wang Nam Khiao. I drove to Pattaya on March 31st passing the scene of the accident. The wrecked bus was still at the side of the highway, it had not yet been recovered. It seems that recovering vehicles after a serious crash is not a priority unless the vehicles are actually on the road. There may also be an element of superstition involved in night time recovery or indeed any recovery where there were multiple fatalities.

Actually not. If he issues a pardon, then Manafort no longer has grounds to invoke the fifth amendment.

That would depend very much on when the pardon is issued.

Yes, until he issues the pardon and then once again everything in the garden will be rosy. 

A large number of those small legal documents available at every ATM ????????

It is the worst piece of driving only if you have a very short memory and don't remember the last video of the worst piece of driving you will ever see in which a truck driving on the wrong side of the road actually crashed into another driving in the opposite direction. A child was killed in that one. I would say that in the grand scheme of things this does not even make the top 100.

Of all my experience of Rescueing dogs here in the hundreds I have never known a dog bit that has not been provoked. I don't believe a word. "I'm a dog lover but"??????

I have a dog myself but I definitely did NOT provoke the dog that chased and bit me when I was cycling through a local village. I did not even see it at first, it was not even on the road. How could I possibly provoke a dog I could not even see? Dogs roaming free are a massive problem here.
