  1. As this topic has turned into a discussion by members I have moved it to the UK forum.
  2. Off topic posts have been removed.
  3. Just don't buy your partner a steam iron and an ironing board.
  4. Why would you want to exchange cash, which you can spend anywhere, for anything, in perpetuity, into an unguaranteed credit note with an expiry date that is only redeemable at limited locations where the goods on sale may not be the cheapest? Gift cards really are a triumph of marketing. Thai culture is very different from your home country. Cash is most welcome here.
  5. If the account only requires any one signature from the two account holders then all the other person has to do is file a police report, then take the report to the bank and get a replacement book issued. Once they have the new book they can immediately empty the account in one withdrawal. There is nothing the bank or the police would do in this situation as the named account holder withdrew the funds.
  6. How many signatures are required to operate the account? Any 1 signature from either account holder or both signatures jointly?
  7. Property of the Duchy of Cornwall can definitely be leased to tenants, and many parts of the Duchy are let in this way. "The Duchy's estate includes over 600 residences and virtually all are let to tenants." https://duchyofcornwall.org/leases-and-freeholds.html "Farms on the Duchy’s Dartmoor Estate occupy about 8,100 hectares. The Duchy also owns 20,200 hectares of common land, which is used by local farmers to graze cattle, sheep and ponies. A harsh climate and relatively poor soil quality means that Dartmoor is best suited to stock rearing and all of the Duchy's 21 farms here are let to tenants who use the land for this very purpose." https://duchyofcornwall.org/dartmoor-and-princetown.html
  8. Many stores do not accept returns or exchanges unless the item is faulty. Much safer to give cash. It's highly regarded and preferred 99 times out of 100.
  9. Moved to the Family and Children forum.
  10. A link to the Bangkok Post has been removed. 16. The Bangkok Post and the Pattaya Mail do not allow quotes from their news articles or other material to appear on ASEAN NOW. Neither do they allow links to their publications. These restrictions are put in place by the above publications, not by ASEAN NOW. In rare cases, forum administrators or the news team may use these sources under special permission.
  11. Does the Click have the same emergency key system as the PCX?
  12. Just speak English to him, and never speak Thai. Let everyone else speak Thai and ask them to never speak English. If he speaks Thai to you do not tell him he is wrong. Just reply in English. If he holds a ball and says, "bon" you say, "yes, ball". This follows the one parent, one language principle. He will learn both languages simultaneously. It's very possible as this is how most children with bilingual parents learn.
  13. Department of Land Transport. The same place that deals with ordinary Thai driving licenses.
  14. Moved to the Family and Children forum.
  15. If you import a parcel of "mixed" goods, it is highly likely you will be charged the highest rate of duty for the entire shipment. 8544.49.29 was probably used as a convenience by customs, because the general rate of duty for 8544.49.29 is known to be 10 per cent and that category covers a multitude of devices. Customs simply do not have the time to take your parcel to pieces and code everything to the correct tariff, so if they see one item that attracts a duty of 10 per cent then that is what you are going to receive. (This is very relevant if you were sending a high value of duty exempt items and a low value of dutiable items in the same shipment). In terms of the goods being used, well that doesn't matter too much. All goods have a value, used or not. They must be worth something for you to pay the amount of shipping and insurance that you did to get the items sent to you.
  16. Because, unfortunately, some members use negative reactions to make a statement about the poster, and not the post.
  17. Off topic posts and a post with an oversized emoji have been removed.
  18. desiccated
  19. It just means you pay a gross salary and your employees receive a net salary. It's just another way of describing the same thing.
  20. Obituary: Queen Elizabeth II The long reign of Queen Elizabeth II was marked by her strong sense of duty and her determination to dedicate her life to her throne and to her people. She became for many the one constant point in a rapidly changing world as British influence declined, society changed beyond recognition and the role of the monarchy itself came into question. Her success in maintaining the monarchy through such turbulent times was even more remarkable given that, at the time of her birth, no-one could have foreseen that the throne would be her destiny.
