Just in case there is a next time, you don't need a deposit. There will not be a queue of people behind you waiting to buy.

Just agree a date and both turn up at the land office. Pay when the officer indicates.

Country imported from or original country of manufacture?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Tariffs are based upon the original country of manufacture. The goods would be given a certificate of origin by the government of the manufacturing country, and that certificate would be given by the importer to customs at the destination country.

Since the country of manufacture of most brands of luxury watches are generally a well known fact there is not an easy way to get round this.

There is no one simple answer to your question because the tariff on watches ranges between 0 and 40 per cent, depending which country you import from.

1. No. Thailand only issues IDPs if you have a 5 year or lifetime license.

2. Yes, but not directly through the Post Office. You can get the AA to represent you and apply on your behalf. You will need to send them your original UK license. They willl then post your UK license and the IDP back to you abroad. It costs, but it's possible. For Japan you will need a 1949 IDP.

Shell 95 is proper petrol/benzene

It has 10 per cent ethanol added into the mix.

If you want restaurant recommendations it might be helpful if we know your location.

Are you going to do a specific type of diet such as keto, or are you generally reducing calories?

There are three restaurants in the list that serve Thai food, and the executive chefs of those restaurants are Thai. The executive chefs in the other four restaurants are not Thai.

Gaggan: Indian

It depends on the species of zebra. Some zebra species are CITES Appendix 1, some are CITES Appendix 2 and some zebra species are not listed.

There should not be a charge, however your wife will have to give the PEA the deposit for the meter.

You only need your wife's ID card and the house book.

Once your wife puts down the deposit the previous person can claim their deposit back from the PEA.

Why are they folded into quarters?

Because the wallet is the same size as a plastic card. There is no other way.

About 5k.

I have 6 plastic cards in a slim wallet with 1,000 and 500 baht notes quarter folded in a recessed slot on the back of the wallet.

I keep small notes in my pocket for ease.

What!!?? B169 = £4.30... Asda UK, 500g for £0.20. Thailand, land of rip-offs. UK: Heinz soup, 4 cans for £1. Thailand: 1 can for £2.

Tesco long grain rice £2.25kg. In Thailand not very much.

Imported products can be expensive in any country, although I take your point that certain imported foods in Thailand are a bit shocking.

Wonder how many Cubic Meters of water can be captured
and how many Cubic Meters were in the flooding of some eight years ago.

Answer: a) Not much. b) see below:

The only solution is to build industrial estates which are raised be several meters or to build industrial estates in areas that will not flood.

The problem you have, of course, is that you can protect an industrial estate so that it stays perfectly dry, but if all of the surrounding countryside is flooded then how do you get your raw materials in and your finished product out?

i maintain the use of the coke 0

you have absolutely the same taste as the coke classic

without the sugar and the cafein in excess

Coca cola original and Coke zero have the same amount of caffeine (32mg). Diet Coke has more (42mg).

There is a caffeine free Diet Coke, but I've not seen it for sale in Thailand.
