  1. https://www.simpsons-uk.com/ I used this company back in 2015 when I moved out here. They are extremely professional and took care of everything. Packed and wrapped everything then took to their depot and placed in a container and shipped here. They have a company here who then took the goods out of the container and deliver. Could not fault them or the service.
  2. Hours ago I mentioned April Fools’ Day and that post also disappeared!!!
  3. I find this scenario highly unlikely. You have 2 totally different departments for a start. Immigration have enough paperwork to sift through and to impose this onto them would make extensions extremely hard work. Especially when quite a few, like myself I suspect, do not need to register for tax. And no, I have not got an LTR or anything. Just have enough money over here for us to live comfortably.
  4. That would be an interesting scenario for me. I stopped remitting money to Thailand in Dec 2023. I am due a sizeable inheritance which is not liable for taxation here and we can live off that easily. Therefore no TIN or any other tax documents! Only papers from my solicitors to state this is inheritance money, which are submitted to my bank here. There may be many other people who are in similar situations who do not need to remit money here for whatever reason. This is why I really do not reckon tax documents etc will ever be part of obtaining an extension of stay. To much hassle for them to sort this all out.
  5. Simple answer is No! Two totally different departments with no links.
  6. I stand corrected. The page did not display the cheapest options so they must have sold them. I was using the Thai pages so was quoted in THB. I was going to apologise for my error until you said that now I look silly!
  7. Had a friend of mine fly with them once and swore never again. Dirty planes and lousy food. Mind you I did book with them once and then they changed a timing from India to Heathrow which made it impossible to make the connection. Got my money back from the agent within a couple of months!
  8. Just to disprove your argument I have just looked at Business Class (Q Suite) for July BKK-LHR!! 82515 THB Benefits and fees per adult passenger Flexibility to make 2 changes Cancellation within 24hrs of booking without fees Checked baggage: 40 kg Hand baggage: 2 pieces, 15 kg total Seat selection included Lounge access included
  9. I have heard some stupid things in my life but this really does take the biscuit!! The PM must be influenced either by these supposed "high net worth individuals" or a good dose of yabba!! Last time I looked, Hua Hin already had an airport which has been totally ignored over the years! I know This Is Thailand but surely anyone with half an ounce of common sense would spend the money upgrading the facilities at half the cost of a mid sea monstrosity. And it could even be transformed to allow international flights as well as the high fliers jets. But that would be too easy.
  10. Just had a look at prices regarding direct flights picking dates in November 2024, Business Class and BA came in at 143k THB. Thai Airways was 124k THB and Eva was 135k THB. That is certainly the cheapest I have seen with Thai Airways!! Normally they are the most expensive so something has been going on with their pricing.
  11. I did not have to report in person for first one after a renewal of extension. Did it online. (I use Immigration Office Hua Hin.)
  12. Iced latte in Starbucks next to Ocean Mall Chumphon costs 115THB as of a month ago. My wife wanted to see what all the rage about Starbucks coffee was. Overpriced dish water was my opinion! So he has not lost the plot at all!!
  13. Try Carl Turner at https://www.carlturnerfinancial.com/
  14. Yes, I agree but you find me a foreigner that would be driving a pickup with the loads like this and NOT be working.
  15. That is a fairly obvious comment to make. Farangs are not allowed to drive pickups for that kind of business, trucks or buses! And western transport is properly policed across the board. Here in Thailand…………..???????? There is plenty of Thai netizen outrage over this incident anyway.
  16. Which can be blatantly flaunted by all forms of transport as This Is Thailand!!
  17. We are going to be moving from Bang Saphan Noi to Hua Hin in September. Looking for recommendations for a good dental practice who specialise in Implants. I have dentures at the moment but wish to change so if any of you can help out with personal knowledge, that would be appreciated. Not worried about costs just a good service. Many thanks.
  18. You are absolutely right as just over an hour ago I was with my Bangkok Bank Manager looking at interest rates for comparison reasons.
  19. 21 was the age in UK for a Class 1 HGV License in my day. I believe you can be younger under special circumstances nowadays.
  20. You are correct. But when you do it online, it cannot just go to your extension date like it can if done manually at an office. My 90 days was due in Oct and my extension date was in Dec. So instead of getting 90 days to my next report he only gave me up to the extension date which was under 90 days. I hope this clarifies what I was saying earlier.
  21. It could be because the 90 days you are applying for takes you beyond your extension renewal date even though you are doing it online. Twice when I have gone to Dan Singkorn for a 90 day report, they have only extended it to my extension renewal date.
  22. That does surprise me as I fully expected that they would have to go in person with passport etc as proof of ID for legalizing. You never know with different embassies.
  23. I am fairly sure number 1 can be done with an agent but number 2 cannot. You would have to attend in person. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
  24. When I moved here in 2015, I used https://www.simpsons-uk.com/removals/international-furniture-shipping Very professional and not over expensive.
