  1. Maybe he thought the statute of limitations had passed.
  2. Not at all hilarious. With WW3 about to break out, I am packing my Go Bag tomorrow. Passport, cash, documents, clothes and anything needed to remain alive in Thailand. Anyone sensible should have a plan. Better to be in SE Asia than in Europe. If things escalate, I'll on on the next plane to Bangkok. Hopefully before thermonuclear war commences.
  3. Not yet been to the new terminal so not sure of the arrangements. Maybe someone else here can advise.
  4. I'd like to think that. 555 She never say's "por laew - enough" like others did. I think her most with me is 9 times. Can always tell when shes climaxing as her back gets sweaty. 555 She's unbelievable and just one reason we get on so well. I feel blessed with her. Caring and compassionate too.
  5. I always get a multi re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi. Print, complete the form and add the picture in advance. Never waited more than 5 minutes to get processed at the airport. Very easy and nice staff.
  6. I use Viagra (50mg) and it takes a while to finish, not that I have a problem with that. I'm not worried about me, I want my GF to enjoy and enjoy. She gets off many times and I love it. Helps her sleep better. I'm 57 and she's 44 and sexy A.F. I think I've only ever failed to finsish on one occasion due to being totally <deleted>faced after a long night of partying. Morning is always good to continue!
  7. About 90% of braking power/effect and 100% of steering is done on the front tires. After several million miles, and always putting new tires on the front, I will continue to do so. I would suggest, as a mechanic and professional driver, that steering and braking has the most serious consequences on control of a vehicle.
  8. I just tell them that I am NOT a tourist...
  9. Sad way to die for those desperate to provide a life for themselves/families. RIP. The Thai Health and Safety executive should be investigating with view to criminal charges for the business owners and managers. Is there such a thing as Health and Safety in Thailand?
  10. Full body oil massage for 90 minutes. I'm always happy at the end 🙂 Highly recommended, though the skills of the different ladies varies.
  11. A good question. What should I do if I or a guest felt unwell or collapsed in my condo? Call 1669 or the local hospital?
  12. I bought a condo twice in Bangkok remotely using a lawyer and power of attorney. I sent funds to the lawyer's account. So, yes as long as the FET transaction states explicitly the reason such as "for purchase of condominium unit". I also added the full address just to be sure though some here have previoulsly said that's not required. I took no chances and had no problems. Funds must be remitted in foreign currency and the receiving bank will convert to Thai Baht. It MUST be equal or greater than the purchase price. The lawyer then paid the seller and land taxes etc. Lawyer will refund any excess or credit against their fees. This is my personal exprience.
  13. When Thai Airways cancelled a flight I booked for November 2020, I called them and they told me "refund may take 6 months". I said "fine no problem", hung up the phone and called American Express (AMEX). AMEX told me to login and upload the cancellation email as a dispute. Did that and AMEX had re-credited my card account within 3 hours. Why didn't you do same?
  14. After Covid and the flight refund debacle, anyone who books flights other than direct with the airline by credit card must be mad.
  15. "Never burn your bridges". Just one piece of advice my dear mother drilled into me from an early age.
  16. In many cases, residents only have themselves to blame. They won't take interest in management or committee but also refuse to increase service charges. This leads, ultimately to dilapidation. Developers always state a unrealistically low service charge in sales literature.
  17. TM30 should be filed within 24 hours and 90 day report, if Non-O annual or re-entry, within 90 days of arriving in the country. Many say that they have had no issues, personally, I never take a chance with TM30 (or 90 day report if staying that long) but only if I will be interacting with immigration for extension of stay in that period/entry.
  18. So easy for you (as home owner) to register for the TM30 online system. It is instant - at least it was when I registered my condo last year. Very easy to file a TM30 then for your friend. So long as it is done before the trip to immigration there is no problem - best to print off the filing receipt (in Thai). This topic has been discussed relentlessly here on TV/AN.
  19. You are overthinking but still correct to look forward. 1) The UK (British Pound £GBP) is not linked to US Dollar $USD (or any other currency). The £GBP is freely traded at prevailing rates globally. Many factors affect exchange rates. Though it doesn't hurt to have funds available wherever you are. 2) Can't see any difference in still sending/receiving money due to BRICS++ (overseas trade depends upon it) 3) If WW3 happens, then being in Thailand is a better place than UK/EU or any western country. All bets are off at that stage.
  20. 6,000 Baht is the going rate to open a Bangkok Bank account using an agent in Pattaya. I know several farangs who did this on a tourist visa in the last couple of years. Including my GF who is not Thai. If you can get it for cheaper then consider it a win. Maybe they will do a discounted package if combining with driving licences and visa/extension.
  21. My thought too. Much better than a UPS and will power the houshold lights/lamps, router, laptops, phones etc. (but not AC or water heaters). Many small portable generators available and quiet too.
  22. Sorry to hear of your difficulty. If I was in your situation I would get that bike fixed ASAP. Use your credit card/s. It is the only right thing to do.
  23. I agree that Bio page of your British passport proves that you are not in breach of any UK immigration laws. With her application, I'd go a step further and submit a full copy of both your and your wife's passports covering last 10 years. Especially if she has travel history to other western countries and shows that she has not overstayed anywhere. It will not hurt your application.
  24. Visa/Tax agents will be salivating at the endless opportunities to increase their own wealth.
  25. Ask a Thai "What is insurance?". Sad for the suffering of animals in this fire.
