Agreed. However at BKK the booths down by the City Line train station are not actually in the airport terminal and usually give same rates as their city locations.

That's easy. Just show them the condo title deed/land register /chanote and what I did on initial visa conversion and extensions. Now I have yellow book that's all they want in Bangkok immigration as residence address proof.

Told the Honda motorcycle dealer that unless he could get the bike properly registered with white plates and green book before collecting it then I'm not interested in buying. He said no problem and it was ready to ride away in 3 days. This in Feb 2020.

By motorycycle, the best possible route from Pattaya to say; Sukhumvit, Bangkok is highway 3 then 34. Motorcycles are not permitted on 7 (tollway) nor on the elevated section above 34 (Bangna-Trad). The route under the elevated Bangna-Trad is potholed and has lots, and lots of truck traffic at times. Need your wits about you on that!

You answered your own question. I ditched inkjets over 20 years ago. Now use brother laser printers. No soggy prints, no smudges, no blocked jets and toner seems to last years. This is the one I keep at my Bangkok condo. https://www.advice.co.th/product/laser-printer/laser/brother-hl-l2360dn Also available in wireless to connect via Wi-Fi. I think there is a newer model out now.

You clearly qualify for assistance. Advise requesting now with your airline for a wheelchair (both ends of journey). My uncle and mother recently travelled with me from London to Bangkok. Uncle uses sticks due to dodgy knees while waiting for surgery, mother is 84 and walking 1000+ metres from the plane is too much. I spoke with Thai Airways and they booked wheelchairs each end of their roundtrip flight - there is no cost regardless of travel class though we were economy. We were met off the plane and they were given wheelchairs all the way through to the minivan transport I had booked. We were all taken through priority immigration (even me, sis and two nieces) which avoided standing in the big queues in the main hall. The staff were wonderful and even helped my sister get a sim card while waiting for baggage. On the return they were equally as good. Just one thing to warn about; it was not possible to check them in online - this due to the fact that the airline wants to assess the traveller's ability to board the plane unaided or not, and if in an exit row, can they open the door in emergency.

By the letter of the law yes. In reality the relatives would likely not even know what a TM30 is. As you will not be needing to go to immigration then don't even mention it. not an issue. Enjoy your holiday.

What? No mention of "unfair criticism"? What has happened since pre-pandemic that is making things so bad - or even worse, than before at times? It seems to me that they have reduced the size of one of the main immigration halls and given oven part of it to "visa on arrival" applicants from sub-continent and other territories. Came in again last Saturday night at 10pm and it was a ghost town. Through in about 1 minute. Just wanted to get home after a long day so didn't explore.

Did anyone notice how many of the car drivers got out and went to see if they could offer any assistance after the collision?

Welcome to the wild east! gun control, what gun control?

This is my pigeon detterent that has worked well for the last few years. Also installed spikes on the ledge below. They are clear plastic, can be cut to size easily and stuck on with velcro (if they might need removal) or, more permanently with a spot of silicone sealant. The owl was OK on it's own for a while but pigeons are clever and soon ignored it. Hence addition of the spikes.

1) UK marriage certificate? 2) UK utility bill or council tax bill?

Isn't it the visa extension applicant that gets the fine for non-filing or has their extension rejected if no TM30? Maybe some offices are more relaxed but can see the concern of the OP. I only ever do my TM30 (5 minutes online as registered) before annual renewal of extension. For those who aren't the housemaster they cannot file for themselves.

Now a replacement and better lighting system can be procured. Another 14M Baht plus inflation. Ka-ching for those in the project!

Nets are not permitted by many juristic persons. I've had the scourge of pigeons on my Bangkok balcony. Once, I was away for 7 months and came back to find pigeon nests with squabs. Pigeons need to land and perch. I put plastic pigeon spikes (brought from UK) on my railings and ledge below. Also an owl and wind chimes. When away for long times drape a net over deck chairs and clothes dryer inside the balcony so they can't land and roost. Seems effective as no return for a few years. Pigeons will always return to where they are familiar with. Break that cycle and it lessens the problem. Cleaning up pigeon droppings is relatively easy but messy - just use lots of water to soften, wash away and keep dust down.

If Mr Heinecke thinks that hotels need to charge more then surely they will. Hotel pricing is driven by costs and the market (supply/demand). No artificial support needed to generate more profits for him! Is he saying publicly that there should be dual pricing for foreigners? This is just plain wrong and will backfire on him and the country if they pander to his greedy non-sense. Especially when everything needs to be done to attract travellers in this recession. If I knew which hotels he's involved with, I would surely boycott them.

Bad move on his part, both in comitting the crime and fleeing while on bail. Surprised that bail conditions did not include removal of passport. When caught in Thailand (or neigbouring countries) the conditions while waiting deportation will be far less comfortable than jail in the UK. Let's see how quickly he is located verses a certain energy drink heir who fled after a car crash!

Nice work if there was a 1 Baht coin on each of those krathongs. Or maybe kids went swimming to get the money first ????

You have not entered "incorrectly". Can't see you having any problem as your First (Christian) and Last (Surname) names are correctly entered. I have two middle names and have never used them on any flight bookings (though not flown Bangkok Airways). Never had any issue at all. Why not call the airline reservations number and ask?

Some tyres seem to track better. Just my experience over the years. Some have different profiles or hard/soft compounds. Thinking more back to my days riding sports bikes.

Under or over inflated tyres make it different. Under inflated and a bike wallows around. Over inflated can make the ride harsh and track differently. Just my experience. Within +-5 PSI should be OK. Can depend on the bike whether sports or scooter.

Quality tires (Pirreli or Michelin or even OEM) and correct tire pressures make all the difference to comfort, handling and safety. A digital pressure guage off Lazada is not expensive.

Device DNS addresses will normally overide Router/ISP DNS addreses.

Numerous things that hotel booking sites do to get you to book. Statements such as: Only x rooms left at this price Last booked x minutes ago x number of people looking at this room now I suspect, but cannot prove, that they use website cookies or account info, and then when you go back to book the price has increased as they know you are interested in booking a certain hotel/room. As for booking direct with the hotel for a better price then unlikely as the booking websites have strong agreements/rules with the properties in exchange for taking a certain amount of rooms or to market the property. I use Agoda a lot simply for the convenience. Used to get Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus ROP miles but they quitely dropped that since late 2020. Once, in Hua Hin in 2019 was at a hotel booked through Agoda and wanted to stay another few nights. Asked at front desk and offered to pay cash there and then. They said NO please book on Agoda! I said Agoda shows unavailable, they said "we'll open bookings again" so I booked and paid on Agoda. Would have thought they wanted a simple cash transaction but No. TIT.

At this rate of decline, it will soon be faster to obtain Thai citizenship than renew a British passport.
