Regarding the future and the price of flights, this makes an interesting read. (Hope admin allow this link which does actually come from The Wall Street Journal. This was the only way to get the material unless you sign up to WSJ). https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bangkokpost.com%2Fbusiness%2F2434304%2Fdont-expect-cheap-airfares-to-come-back-soon-airline-executives-say%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1TD0et1hio-DhPdlEG2JJW88WX606YT3pfOcbMZ5d1yQbhVPfbUAXF4l8&h=AT38qdmHgrbCIPraC2z300V6ee05AYj1sggJjVr9X_Q-cDcyWgHi5roXG1iHFWY7X8ygwrMuSgCTTvvCrcvFEfBL3WR0PHF343bVRuRyp19D-YoSbeD0X0_BHwd7zj6hxlu9&__tn__=R*F

Absolutely no worries. I came back from UK in July and then went in person in October to do my 90 day report. Just had to point out the entry stamp in the passport and all done.

I have 800k in a dedicated account with Bangkok Bank but still have to get statements. I get a 12 month statement which will always fall short because this has to come through Head Office. So I top up with an up to date 6 monthly statement as well. This is acceptable to the IO and is no real hassle to obtain.

Pray do tell exactly who is going to enforce this law. We never see any patrol cars on the roads and Highway Police only tug trucks or pick ups for tea money. A total waste of another what could be a life saver law that just will not be enforced along with helmets, wrong side of road driving, under age drivers etc.

Let us remember that this was the murder of innocent sleeping children so there will be an uproar and rightly so!! No comparison whatsoever to road deaths!!

I think it is somewhat stronger than shouldering some responsibility. As far as I can ascertain, the RTP need to fully investigate their actions or lack of over the years. No normal police force would have tolerated this behaviour and he would have been sacked and possibly sent for psychiatric treatment. It can be said that inaction by RTP has actually led to this happening and in more ways that one, this ineffective police force across the board needs a complete shakeup from the top downwards. But I will not hold my breath!!

Plenty of Moderna about. Yesterday I had my 4th jab which was Moderna. This was free as it was part of a 4000 dose donation given to THG Chumphon on behalf of the King 9. This was to thank all people in the Kingdom for remembering him and making merit in his memory and other donations have been made country wide.

Have had the Honda Jazz with CVT transmission for 7 years and over 100,000kms without a hint of problems. Regularly serviced by Honda. Have now the CVT again with the new Xpander as that is all you can get now unless you live in the Philippines and across all makes it is becoming the norm for transmission now

This is with the CVT transmission as it is the 2022 model.

Forgot to add that I got the normal first year car insurance and road tax within my deal for the Xpander. And the tinted windows.

I have just bought a Mitsubishi Xpander having shopped round different dealers and makes. I landed up with a 20,000 THB discount, mats, wind deflectors front and rear dashcam and most importantly a proper spare tyre and just waiting now for the fixing bracket for underneath. Then there is the free labour on servicing for 5 years or 100,000kms. This was in Bang Saphan. Honda were giving a reasonable deal on the new BRV but no discount. Too much technology on that make especially with the camera mounted on the nearside wing mirror which could be very expensive if hit!! Toyota were doing no discount or freebies!! Done deal with the Xpander then.

I came in on a 30 day tourist visa which then had to be changed up to a Non-O Retirement and the 90 days to satisfy the criteria for an extension based on retirement and this was done at CW. Siam Legal helped me do this as well as open the bank account to receive the necessary funding for this extension. Then I was able to finish it all off at Hua Hin where I got my first extension of stay. So to answer your question, yes I did but I have a feeling this practice has now been stopped as this was in 2015.

I used Siam Legal as well, back in 2015 and had no problems with them at all. Was in BKK when first arriving to retire here. So had to start at CW with Siam Legal helping all the way to the point of assisting me to get a bank account set up. Then we were moving to the place where our home was going to be built which was in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. The lad came down to Hua Hin Immigration to do the final part so I could then do 90 day reports in the province. They also did, my then girlfriend and now wife's, visa for a visit to UK. When it was refused first time because the UK powers never read the documents fully, the girl at Siam Legal did the new application for no extra costs as she was not happy with the refusal. After a strongly worded application was made again, the visa was granted. So, I have nothing but praise for Siam Legal and will be using them in the future when we need another visa for the wife so we can visit UK for a holiday.

Yes they are. I flew back through Dubai on July 30th.

In Tambon Changraek, Bang Saphan Noi. close to the Highway.

This has to be one of the most daft comments of the year!!! With the amount of beeping that goes on around here, there must be a helluva lot of near accidents!! Continual playing a beeping tune for a kilometre or so at all times of the day and night!!. 555

They do like this at Hua Hin though. Hand drawn or a Google map copy will do nicely.

They are in fact nothing more than a fashion accessory. They will not make any difference to water spray and actually will make it worse. Unless they are fitted with anti spray mud guards, as required in the EU, they will never work! But like everything else out here, things will never change much like the HGV test, or lack of training!

It is such a simple procedure, why involve the costs of an agent? There are enough lists of requirements and it can all be done and stamped within 30 minutes. Basically 12 months of bank statements which can be obtained the day before. ( You may well need to order these in advance as 12 months and 6 months in order to be totally up to date depending where you bank.) Copies of your passport pages, TM6, yellow book/proof of address, map of your address, TM7 and TM8 if re-entry permit needed. Along with 2 passport size photos. You can collate all this info ready for your visit in the days before. And I believe you can now book your appointment time at Hua HIn which makes life even easier. I shall be doing this when I go for my extension in Nov. It

That is a bog standard message which I have received many times for different purchases. The goods normally clear a little quicker than that. Not really a problem as they state approximate delivery dates which are longer than actual delivery days.

The minimum health insurance coverage of 10,000 USD for foreigners will also be lifted. Thai gov to remove mask mandates for outdoors, scrap Thailand Pass in July By Erich Parpart

I am getting a refund from FWD as my return is 30th July. They have stated it will take 30 to 45 days to do this!! What!!!!
