Wing Commander Suthirawat Suwanawat, general manager of Suvarnabhumi Airport, Airports of Thailand (AOT), said on Friday (October 25) that Suvarnabhumi Airport will close the eastern runway (runway 01R-16L)

If the runway was 01R-16L it would be uniquely banana shaped.

The runway is 01R-19L.

Some suggestions here:

Take your son's original Thai birth certificate and house book and also his mother and her Thai ID card. No need to wait for his Thai passport.

Your son will be able to get a 1 year extension of stay on the basis of being a Thai national. It will cost you 1,900 baht. Technically you need to do a TM30 and 90 Day reports for him.

The only way to resolve this is to fly out and then back in to Thailand, and use his Thai passport to enter the country next time.

The OP is the principal.

No, the OP is the agent. The OP acts for and on behalf of either the buyer or the seller, who is her Principal.

Nice write up, thank you.

I'll move this to the Bangkok Forum.

How do these four icons affect 'Member's total reputation'? Is there for example, one point added whatever the icon, or does it vary depending on the icon selected?

Each Like, Thanks and Haha received increases your total reputation count by 1 point. Confused and Sad are neutral, and neither increase or decrease your reputation count.

The Sportsman, Sukhumvit Soi 13. 695 Baht:

No, you do not need a long term visa or extension of stay.

You do, of course, need to be in the country legally.

If the Father is registered on the birth certificate, for which a passport copy is required, that is proof of legitimisation. Therefore, gives the Father the right to have his child travel out of Thailand with him, so I have been told....

You are completely incorrect in almost everything you have said.

I accept that when you posted you were trying to help others. Now you know your post is absolutely incorrect please do not post the same factually incorrect information again.

As I am sure you can appreciate the legitimacy of a child is a most serious matter and it is not something where incorrect advice should be repeated.

Personally, I always advise people in this situation to get the letter from their District Office. It's easy to obtain and in my opinion not worth the risk of missing a flight if you encounter an immigration officer who insists on seeing it.

Is there any point in deactivating the card via the App (can on my SCB) if the card could be cloned anyway ??

Wou;d it stop a cloned card actually working ??  No idea personally ??

If you temporarily lock your card via the app then your card will not work at all. You will not be able to use it for buying things in a shop; you will not be able to use it to buy things online and you will not be able to use it in an ATM until you unlock the card.

A cloned card would be also be unable to be used.

I hope moderators will tell me.

There is no simple answer. Every bank branch tends to make their own rules.

You just have to ask in each branch.

Sometimes, different staff in the same bank will have different requirements. You could get a No on Monday and a Yes on Tuesday from the same branch.

...set new and higher fee rates to make their business more commercially viable as currently only a small number of electric vehicles (EV) are using the service.

Not enough customers, so charge more. I wonder if that strategy will work.

You can give way even though you have the right of way, or you can drive on and damage your car.

You would end up with your car in the repair garage most of the time, with no replacement car provided.

You will not effect any change in other people's driving habits by taking this course of action; instead you will inconvenience yourself and possibly end up raising your insurance premiums.

Apart from the yearly charge for the card...

Generally, there is a spending threshold. Spend more than the threshold and the annual fee is waived.

This will of course be a factor in deciding if obtaining a credit card is worthwhile.

The OP works here, so he might be able to put work expenditure on his card and then reclaim through expenses. That can make a card very worthwhile.

You normally pay an initial fee on being issued the credit card, which varies from card to card. Annually thereafter there is a separate fee, however if you spend over a certain amount during the previous year the annual fee is waived.

The application fee, annual fee and the spending threshold to be exempted from the annual fee are clearly posted on the various bank websites.

As an example, the SCB My Travel credit card has a 3,000 baht fee immediately after the card is granted, and a 3,000 baht annual fee thereafter. However if you spend 300,000 baht on the card during the year then the next annual fee is waived.

Where did you get your shoes from?

If anyone has menus and pricing for Christmas Day lunch and dinner in Bangkok please post your information here. Please only post Western menus here.

Photos of menus/posters or links to websites will be really helpful. Prices, and whether they are ++ is also going to be really helpful.

I'll start with the offering from the Robin Hood pub at the junction of Sukhumvit Road and Soi 33/1.

995 baht for 3 courses, including VAT. No service charge.

You might be better considering a usufruct for life.

Your wife can always sell the land, but with a usufruct on the land then it is unlikely anyone would pay much for it.

Even if the land was sold, your usufruct would remain intact.

If you die before your wife then your usufruct would be extinguished and she would be able to remove the usufruct and sell the land free of encumbrance.
