I am in Pattaya. I had an agent do my yellow book application at a cost of 2,000 baht. Only extra was a certified copy of my passport (maybe 1,000 baht..can't remember). I gave her any stuff she required and one week later I had my Yellow Book. I did not have to go to the Amphur. So for me this was a good way to go. 

The Pink card afterwards was a one hour job at Banglamung. 

Which agent did you use.

Yes it clearly states in Thai that these offers are only for medical staff. government agencies and military personnel involved in  COVID-19

No water for 3 days you are lucky. I live on Soi Tungklom Tanman and we havent had water for over 2 weeks.

Does anyone know how long the mains water will be shut off Soi Nongkabork / Tungklom Tanman area.

It says Saturday (April 5th) but Saturday was the 4th

Tell the bars they can only sell drinks with an alcohol content above 60% . That should sort the virus problem 151 ° all round. LOL

Definatly only 91/95 the E20 variant came out the start of 2008.

looks about the norm for a cheap rewiring job of a shop or up country concrete building. More important is that they fit a proper distribution box with RCD and that an earth is present. A proper earth spike not just a conection to the steel in the roof which I have seen many times. Make sure they run the earth to all power sockets. Many times I have seen the electrics go straight from the mains through a cheap knike switch to a gang of small breakers.

Go fund me Ha ha. Living and working here but he can't raise 200,000 Baht ( £5,000) Go <deleted> himself.

It dosen't state whether or not he holds a valid motorbike licence. If he did not then any insurance would be void anyway. And he should be made to pay compensation. No licence means he would have been at fault, whether the accident was his fault or not.

I bag them up and put them in the charity box at the end of the year.

I don't  really understand what this is all about ,Our daughter did 4 years at Chiang Rai Uni,

she had no problems because we had learnt her to look after herself, washing clothes,cooking,

been responsible,how to manage money etc.

Then she had a job for a few years,while going on holidays to Japan,Taiwan,Laos,Vietnam,

Malaysia, and Singapore, all by herself.

Now she is just starting a one year working/holiday visa in Sydney Australia,been there 3 weeks

now, has not found a job yet,was offered a job  10- 10 as receptionist,60 hour week for 15 $

AU, an hour, no overtime payment, told her not to take it ,that's slavery,the basic wage there is 20 $ hr.?

she can speak read and write Thai,English,Japanese and Chinese,so hopefully she will find a job with

better pay and conditions, seems like they are giving Thai people a visa,so they can be used as cheap

labour,2000 places this year.

Sure we miss her, but she wants to see the World, just like i did,she can phone everyday for free,so that's good.

regards worgeordie

 

 Working holiday visas are designed to allow working for short periods whilst visiting and exploring the country. Not for full time permanent employment. That is why companies like to employ people like this at busy times of year.  They normally only want people for a couple of months and know they can pay them less than a local, and them get rid of them easier when bvusiness drops. If she is there to work full time she should be applying for a work visa.

 Hopfully then Thailand would get added to the list of countries where your UK pension is not frozen.

The worst thing if you want smart kids is a smart phone. Get them a basic phone so you can get hold of them and them you in case of emergency. Get them a laptop to use at home where they can be supervised.

What happened to to the Lion pub I was there one week it was closed for good the next. Nobody mentioned it closing when I

was there. I used to go there at least 2 or 3 times a month. All my go to's are changing Retox no more Baht buster breakfasts

as it opens later, What next,

Yes I think he means Haggling not Bartering.

 I recently had need to contact HSBC services a few times and each time found them very hard to understand and they defiantly had Indian accents. 

I use my driving license for some things at Bangkok bank like cashing a cheque. but for withdrawals and atm card issues you have always needed the ID you set up the account with.

That is why when you get a new passport you should notify them and get the details changed.
