  1. Unfortunately, if you raise energy costs for manufacturing businesses 21 per cent then the cost of goods produced will impact the cost of living. The same situation in many countries though.
  2. Exactly what @Sheryl said earlier in the topic here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1280474-if-wife-dies-before-me/?do=findComment&comment=17784000
  3. Asia Copy Centre, near BTS Phrom Phong: Asia Copy Center 02 258 2034 https://maps.app.goo.gl/oZfqg43kyW3K7SrF9
  4. Quite a few people go here for a bite to eat. Here is the latest price list. I do like the chef's salad.
  5. The company can undertake any activities specified in its memorandum of association. The standard MOA used by Thai companies covers just about everything a company can do in general, so you should be fine for additional business activity.
  6. Moved to Forum Support.
  7. Marionettist
  8. Here is another member's experience in Pattaya:
  9. You will be getting off at ARL station Makkasan and walking to MRT station Phetchaburi. The stations do not share the same name. MRT busy times are in line with what you said above. MRT trains are frequent, so if one is absolutely packed and you have bags then perhaps just wait 3-4 minutes for the next train.
  10. Just to make it really clear, you previously had to descend to street level and walk to the MRT as there was no physical connection linking the two stations. This has changed. Several years ago a direct covered link bridge/walkway was added to connect both stations. If you are unsure of the route just follow everyone else, as most people take this route to get to the MRT.
  11. A colleague applied for a standard visa. They attended their biometric appointment at VFS on 28 October. Received notification to collect their passport on 28 November.
  12. It would certainly broaden the OP's appeal though.
  13. Do you speak, read or write Thai?
  14. Strictly, the title deed of a condominium unit is an Or Chor 2 อ.ช.2, and not a Nor Sor 4 Jor น.ส.4 จ - however both are commonly called a chanote, which is phrase used by the OP. I completely accept where you are coming from, however the reason we are having this discussion is because non-Thai citizens can be listed on a condominium title deed and getting back to the OP, if the title deed that was lost belonged to a non-Thai citizen then they would have to take their passport along to the Land Office. If you ask non-Thai condominium owners what the name of their condominium property deed is I think the vast majority would answer, "Chanote" and very few indeed would answer, "Or Chor Song".
  15. I guess it's a different way of life. If you stay in Pattaya/Jomtien the air quality is going to be quite reasonable most of the time. If you stay in Bangkok the air quality next to main roads is dreadful and it's something to avoid. I'm just in the habit of avoiding it where possible. That being said you don't have to walk in a straight line along Rama I. You could walk through Siam Square or alternatively enter Siam Paragon, connect through Siam World, then get on the skywalk.
  16. Laziness, the same way that most peorple don't get off their transport one stop early and walk. Health, I try not to walk by any main road in Bangkok if I can. It's just not pleasant at all.
  17. Non Thai citizens can be registered on the chanote title deed of a condominium unit.
  18. That will work, but I think the better way would be BTS Ari to BTS National Stadium, changing trains at BTS Siam. At BTS National Stadium when you exit the train you can use the skywalk which is linked directly to the MBK Centre so you will not have to descend to street level. This would mean this whole section of the journey from BTS Ari onwards would be by Skytrain. You would join the BTS at Ari station N5, and catch the train heading towards Kheha. Disembark at Siam station CEN. You will disembark on Floor 3, platform 1. You need to go up the escalator to Floor 4, platform 4 and catch the train heading towards National Stadium station W1. As I mentioned, when you exit BTS National Stadium just follow the skywalk signs to MBK. The skywalk joins MBK in two places. If you can't walk up the steps at the first entrance then keep on walking on the skywalk and use the second entrance. On your return journey, exit MBK and join the BTS at National Stadium station W1, catch the train heading towards Bang Wa. Disembark at Siam station CEN. You will disembark on Floor 3, Platform 3. You need to go up the escalator to Floor 4, platform 2 and catch the train heading towards Ku Khot. Get off the train at Ari station N5. You can buy 1 single ticket from Ari to National Stadium for 37 baht, and the same price for the return journey. Believe me, it's not worth walking from Siam to National Stadium to save literally 4 baht each way. The change at BTS Siam sounds complicated, but it's not. Each floor only has 2 platforms, and the platforms are either side of the same island. The most important thing is to know what floor you need next and the direction your train will be heading in, as all the signs will say "towards Bang Wa" or "towards Ku Khot", etc. I hope that helps.
  19. This scenario can happen when Thai citizens own multiple houses. Thai citizens can only be registered in one house book at any one time. Normally immigration also ask to see a copy of the title deed for the property, which will have the owners name in it. The same situation occurs when people live in a building owned by a limited company, as a limited company cannot be entered into a house book. Immigration is well aware of the general issue and it won't be a surprise to them at all.
