It made perfect sense to me.

Mine has my address in English and Thai written on the back.

I presume that this is normal for driving licenses issued to foreigners. 

I used my Thai DL at VFS, I had plenty of other suitable documents, but the girl went straight to the DL. Address in English on reverse side.

Bonking ban?

No, but her attempt was futile, some very good looking girls around here with passable English.

Must be very lonely and boring, a bit like living like a monk in a far-away area, unless you can make friends with local people. Living on a farm or house (who owns it?) far from big supermarkets, and restaurants serving Western food, you would possibly need to get used to mostly eating local food, only watching Thai TV, and having slow internet. Can't imagine why one would do this.

Or you could buy an IPTV package, drive to the city and load up your freezer with Farang food, and return home. Thai internet is much faster than what I had in Scotland.

I know only 1 older,single farang who lives locally, about 1.5 hours from Udon. He stopped drinking recently, is a chain smoker and lives with 2 dogs, he is ex military, and is finding life a bit of a struggle, particularly with the recent heatwave. I am married and live near him, I visit Udon once a week, 2 hours and I am fed up with it, the noise, heat and driving conditions. Nong Khai ,being much closer has a number of amenities, but is not really geared up for farang. The key here is to wake up each morning and have a task to complete, we have extensive gardens that keep me well occupied. As a non-drinker, non-smoker the thought of living in Udon, Bangkok etc in a condominium and spending my days at a bar is too difficult to contemplate.

the fortuneteller certainly is... she charges enough!!

Most fortunetellers receive relevant information about their customer before any sitting, they get inside knowledge from neighbors and relatives of their clients. Nothing mystical going on.

???????? Yeah, maybe you're right.....but actually the divergence (so to speak) is perfectly fine for me and is actually very instructive for me, because I'm genuinely open to rethinking whether or not she DOES absolutely require a small hatchback. I still think 'yes', overall, she does.....but if say, a CX3 has, for her, enough of the characterisitics & 'feel' of a  small, easily manouevreable vehicle, then it could be that it is a compromise that suits both her needs and mine. Just sayin' ????

 

Plus....hey, I'm enjoying talking about cars! ????????????

I bought the CX-3 last year, after having consecutive Mazda 2s’, I have been so pleased overall, my wife loves it. Do not, look at the diesel version.

More nonsense being spouted by the Police. These figures do not make sense.

Just so you know, your renewal/anniversary date will change to September 

Start the ball rolling Early in 2023 to obtain your new passport.

What training do Thai Police receive which qualifies them to carry out this type of work?

If you were jabbed early on then in theory you should be on your 6 jab by now? If you are to be considered fully vaccinated.

 

Does it stop or do we just carry on getting the booster every 6 months from now on?

 

 

A never ending, money making saga, for the pharmaceutical industries.

sounds like old mate might not be able to meet the requirements at a nearby embassy as it seems he's brassic.

But he was not “brassic”enough to fly to the UK, not cheap any more.

And after it skidded of the runway while landing after a 4 hour flight. READ the FULL story !

The plane skidded off the runway, therefore, an immediate slide evacuation should have taken place. They could lose their license over this failing.

There is an (English) agent that does it all...if you want to use him, including using his Credit Card..... I think they charge 5,000 baht--maybe not bargain if you live near the embassy. But defiantly an option if your in Chiang Mai-- Issan or Phuket.

 

VFS have an office in Chiang Mai, I know because I used it in February for a new UK passport.

Looks like shes thinking " I wonder whether my Mum has fed my two kids back in the village this evening  "

And she hopes that Granny has fed the other 2.

Maybe you should have had a pension and not a pile of cash. Cash is no good to you. As it runs out eventually. A pension runs til you are dead.

Even better, have 2 pensions.
