1. You can use any amphur/khet.

2. You do not need the original tabien baan.

In some countries you can apply at the Thai Embassy or Consulate General and receive a Thai ID card then and there. This may save you a journey to Thailand. Contact your Thai Embassy to find out more.

True or false?

True

Is the title document a chanote (Nor Sor 4), or is it a Nor Sor 3 Gor, or a Nor Sor 3?

There are different levels of title deed, with a chanote being the strongest claim to ownership, and other title deeds having slightly less certain claims to ownership.

For example, with an NS3 title deed there is probably no dispute who the owner is, however the exact boundary of the land will be subject to change after a Land Office survey. Such a survey can add or take away a small quantity of land from the title deed once laser measuring tools are used.

Often it's not the small variation on the title deed which is a problem; the problem might be that your boundary fence now sits 20 centimeters on your neighbours land. In extreme cases it can mean a part of your building is now situated on your neighbours (newly granted) property.

As a result of these uncertainties some buyers will not touch anything that is not an NS4 chanote. They simply don't want to buy a headache when there are better options.

Some people will buy land with NS3 and NS3G title deeds though. You don't have to upgrade your title, and you don't need a new survey. It's not a must.

My flight landed around 19:00

I was on EY408 which landed at 18:02, so I was a few minutes ahead of you. Everything was working smoothly with no problems at all.

What I don't understand about your post is why it took 5 or 6 people over 50 minutes to get through the immigration process. If the technology at one counter wasn't working, why did everyone in the queue stand waiting all of that time instead of moving to another counter?

There were many immigration counters open when I went through hall 1. Hall 3 was virtually deserted.

Thanks for the heads-up. Do you mind pointing me to where I can edit the title?

Press the report flag on your original post and ask for a change of title. Please let us know exactly what the new title should be.

Have you got a picture?

If he is hiding things on a modern smartphone you won't find them if you haven't already. Secure storage apps require passwords/patterns/fingerprints to access them.

Personally I would stay well away from this kind of situation. If the husband finds out you are involved I doubt he will be pleased.

Personally I would tell your next door neighbor to ask her husband, rather than involving other people in her and her husband's business.

Your employer may want to check you don't have any nasties in your passport, such as refusals of entry or deportations.

It's often easier to go with the flow with issues such as this. I used to be concerned about my privacy, but after handing out a couple of hundred copies of my passport I realised that's just the way it is here.

Choosing to buy something because it's in a nicer bottle (well known brand) may not have much 'added value' in the long run.

I agree. Personally I buy this brand of gin (and others) because I like the taste, not because of the bottle.

What about the cheap gins here? 315 baht for 750 ml. In Tesco Lotus. And perfectly good to mix with tonic? Stick your Tanqueray!

But that's the whole point. What one person spends in a month can be wildly different to another person as a result of what they choose to buy.

Gin ............. way cheaper in Thailand.

That's not true for me. Tanqueray prices at Tesco's in UK and Thailand:

Thailand: 1,168 baht for 750ml

UK: 20 pounds for 1,000ml

That's a substantial difference considering the difference in volume.

It's actually quite a lot of paperwork and translations. There are lots of British members who have done this, so if you get stuck have a browse through older posts or start a new thread if you need to.

You only have to apply for their first passport one time. Next time the documentation should be less for a renewal.
