Hi everyone.

Does anyone have a strategy for hiring a motorcycle/ moped

And not having to leave my passport or my wife's Thai ID?

I'm not planning on any illegal action. Just don't feel comfortable with leaving important docs with unknown people.

Thanks

hello forum users,

has anyone dealt with this company?

experiences, good or bad?

thanks

we transfer the money to the owner via bank transfer and then they pay the loan. 

dot poom is correct, we don't have all the funds immediately available, nor do we want ot pay it off before we get these ownership details resolved.

we live in Australia and have a house help person (maid - been with the family for 40 years)  living in\looking after the house.

We don't have any income in Thailand and cannot take over the loan as no bank will loan us the money without Thai based income.

if no one has an answer on this, can anyone suggest a reasonably priced lawyer\co that specialised in property?

thanks

scenario is 

land and house and loan is in another person's name and my wife and I are paying off the loan.

A document has been created signed and witnessed to pass the ownership of the land and house to my wife (Thai citizen) after the bank loan is fully paid off. We will be responsible for any transfer costs\taxes\fees

would this document be enforceable by a court? what procedure would be needed to have a document like this be enforceable?

thanks in advance.  

ESET always for me

How long is a piece of string?

Twice as long as it is from the centre to one end

Anyone know what the entry ticket prices were to the gp?

my guess is that the Aussie Reserve Bank will keep interest rates on hold for the short to medium term (12 months) and the US are on an interest rate increase trend. This usually results in a stronger US$.

We are going to the US in December and I am buying currency now (AUD-US$) as I don't see it (unfortunately) getting much better for the AUD$ in the short term. 

it has closed down, I did some research recently and found an entry that said it was permanently closed

A sling box is perfect if you can arrange to have the unit in a friends or family member's home in the desired country

interesting information, thanks to all. 

border hops aren't appealing to me, I think the extension for me is best. 

thanks for the answers guys, any other "gotyas" in taking the Suvannakhet path?

thanks for the reply ubonjoe

even if I get a 2 month visa in Melbourne, I would need to get the 400k into a bank account on day one of arriving to satisfy the 2 month rule. or is there some short based extension that would give me 3 or 4 months before applying for the 1 year extension of stay?

hi everyone. 

if this is correct. 

Marriage:

Financial requirement is 400,000 baht deposited in a Thai bank for 2 months prior to the date of application, OR

proof of income of 40,000 baht per month.

how would I get a Thai bank account to deposit into (2 months prior to application) If I am not already a resident?  

thanks

I was using my global roaming plan ( Vodafone in Australia)  on auto connect, it defaulted to DTAC, found I had data download issues - more than once and on 2 different phones\sims. Manually set the service provider to True, no problems. 

this was while in BKK northern suburbs.

Despite the fact that Jingle Bells is the only Xmas carol I have heard in LOS.

Yesterday 2nd Jan we arrived back at Suvarnabhumi airport (1hr 50 mins waiting for bag collection) and over the loud speakers they are still playing Jingle Bells on repeat.

Any guesses why? 

Any guesses on when this might end?

hello everyone,

Does anyone know where I can get an Ipad screen replaced near Bang Khen in Bangkok?

thanks

hi everyone,

I hear from my wife very often : sister's sick - fever , mother's sick - fever, housekeeper -sick, niece - fever(all living in different houses)  it seems never ending.  

Is it easy to avoid getting fevers\chills\sickness on a regular basis by sensible eating and healthy lifestyle? Or is it just part of living in tropical zones such as Thailand?

thanks for your thoughts,

transferwise for me from Aus to K-Bank takes only 24-48 hours. 

hi list, thanks for all the handy tips, I am out of LOS at present. My wife says the task has been assessed and there are not blockages (professional skills unknown) and that the solution is to buy one of these pumps, see pic.

10,000 BHT and 950BHT to fit. 

I may be asking too subjective a question, but here goes anyway. 

does the price seem reasonable and right?

do you think this unit will fix the problem?

can anyone on this forum give me a Lotto 101 summary? I've asked my wife but after telling me the last 3 numbers are important she was scant on any other details.

Where to buy?

how do you win?

What are the prizes?

Can Foreigners buy tickets and claim prizes?

How often are draws?

How do know the tickets you are buying are legit?

what is the cost of the tickets?

Where do the proceeds of sales go to? Seller, charity? all to the gov?

I am I missing anything else on this topic?

looking forward to your answers. thanks in advance 

thanks to all for the suggestions, will make an attempt at some of them. 

yes it runs but the water flow is much less than desired. 

I am comparing the water pressure to my place in Australia which would be 5 X stronger.

A shower is possible, but not particularly enjoyable.  Am I asking too much from the water system in Bangkok??
