Anyone have experience selling jewelry back to a store they bought it from?
digbeth replied to jnak's topic in General Topics
The only difference between jewelry and bullion gold is the commission, for jewelry gold the 'workmanship fee' is 5-800 baht per baht weight, but for bullion, (called the block fee for the physical act of pouring molten gold into the block instead) this can be as low as 1-200 baht per baht weight and can be waived if you buy as much as 5-10 baht weight or more, so you might have to wait a bit longer when the price go up to break even or profit to cover the commission that you paid for the jeweler -

You need the minutes to do anything if it's under company name, from things like opening a company bank account it's supposed to be a paper trail, should the shareholder in the company disagree In practice, you can write one yourself and only have the director sign and stamp the company seal and it's good -
try visiting lazada for the first time, the translate function popped up more clearly than where the website's own 'change language' option and the translate function works, until you come up to find edge case where you get gibberish that you don't understand

don't rely on translate function on your web browser, if a site is in Thai only with no option to change to English, it's probably not meant for us, and attempting to do so via translate function would only run into problems

Honda has nothing to do with the importation and selling of this bike in Thailand, why should they care?

big auction by the customs house in Bangkok every year, usual bikes are Harleys, the ones that couldn't be registered are not put on the lot until customs sort it out with the land transport department, one of the way to 'launder' imported vehicle

If the local cops knows of an existence of an 'invoice' bike these days they know that's a good target for extortion They could take the bike away if it's found on the road, or you could payup... with no guarantee of when they'll be coming next time Thankfully the Steed is pretty low on the radar compared to hot ticket bikes like Yamaha SR The cost of getting documents required to be able to register it legally is probably cost more than a clean one with green books are going for, you could get one of the bikes for sale with green book and proper history and 'donate' the new bike's plate and vin to your bike if you're really sentimental about keeping it, Not sure if they do auction for seized bikes at this value, but if it's auctioned off by customs, the buyer can legally register the bike

Emergency passort problem - Australian Embassy
digbeth replied to simple1's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Did he tell the Embassy the passport was expired or was it 'lost'? Cause expired passport that had been used to enter Thailand for months doesn't constitute an emergency on the Embassy's part The embassy might have expedite it if the passport was 'lost' -
drain pumps are available in Thailand too, they're usually for commercial or in-ceiling install and multi split units some do come as optional parts from the manufacturer, but most common one looks like fish tank pump and a plastic box to catch the drain that you retro-fit to units

First class insurance on old vehicle
digbeth replied to CrossBones's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
some insurer will only let you have 1st class insurance after the car is 10 years old if you've had continued coverage until then, so unless the car've had 1st class insurance up until year 14, you might not be able to get 1st class to begin with -
It's not that it's too cheap/small of a weight to sell just the clasp, the shops do sell earrings that's probably just as small maybe the clasp come as a set with the whole chain which is weight to the exact fraction of a baht weight, if they just took the clasp off the new chain, they'd be left with clasp less chain they can't sell and a whole accounting headache their tiny brain can't comprehend how to handle? which you could probably buy a whole new chain, take just the clasp, then sell them back the rest of the new chain for them to melt down, you'd be hit with the difference between buying and selling price of the shop of course... They do buy broken chains all the time

Costs of a premarital agreement in Thailand
digbeth replied to Dusit99's topic in Marriage and Divorce
can you read or write thai? if you can handle the contract in thai, you can handle a lot of stuff the lawyer will be trying to sell you on your own, or a thai lawyer that your potential spouse might know without english language skill won't overcharge you as much on -
That 'track' along the railwayline in Pattaya is more like a racetrack, nothing quiet about it with the main roads cutting across at every intersection and traffic lights turned off getting thai motorbike license means sitting through a whole day of course and test with a private exam centre, or booking months in advance with the department of land transport not as much of a commitment as CBT in the UK Many do ride here and can buy bikes without license no problem, but if you've never ridden bikes before, getting to grip with throttle control, braking as well as Thailand traffic is a mix that results in newspaper headlines we see too often in Pattaya

Observation and lack of concern for others.
digbeth replied to The Fugitive's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Farang tink too mutt... or too little, often in the case where the at fault party was not to be found, the good Samaritan could found themselves at fault... this had genuinely happened the accusation was from 'if you're not guilty why did you take him to the hospital/stop to call an ambulance' -
because there'd be public outcry if they did that openly, the booking system already estimate passenger weight from age, gender and assign seat and calculate the loads I heard some Hawaiian or Pacific Island airline full of muscly men do actually weigh passengers

Any nice day trips outside of Bangkok?
digbeth replied to Kawazaki650R's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
For day trip Khao Yai is nice but they are very strict about exhaust noise, and once you're in the park the mood isn't for spirited riding If you're serious about riding, route 3199 around the reservoir in Karnchanaburi is the best twisty road within daytrip distance from Bangkok, plenty of restaurant in the water along the way
