My earlier post was deleted, but I avoid smoking weed as I hate smoking and the diseases it causes. I have used oil but didn't find it very effective. I'll stick to alcohol.

Is it normal for international/Thai schools to charge parents a fee in order to get the paperwork together and make the application for a child's ED visa/extension for full-time study at the school? If so, how much is normally charged?

Yes; it would be interesting to read. 🙄

Hmm, not many women contributing to this thread, I would guess! Perhaps some of the men might want to read up on the reasons for the change. https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/53621/documents/4252

Once every 2 weeks or so. Usually cook it myself, but we're spoiled for choice for decent full-English breakfasts around here.

And it's 400 baht a day, not an hour, right? 🤔

The photo ID verification requirement is fairly new. Mine is only used for transactions over 100,000 baht, but the photo had to be added to my account in my local BB branch.

Is the question about working bargirls who are mothers, or ex-bargirls who have left the business to raise a family?

Yes, in April this year. I rented a car from Alamo at Gatwick Airport with my Thai DL.

OK, thanks. Too late to edit my post now, though.

The Tories took no action for 14 years. As soon as Labour was in power a 'grooming gangs inquiry' was demanded. Baroness Casey and Jay advised it was not needed but implementation of previous recommendations was. As a result, Starmer said "no inquiry" but ordered a review of the evidence. The review by Casey states that an Inquiry is needed. One is immediately announced Now they scream "he has U turned" even though it was a decision after evaluation of evidence. "Do it fast" they demand even though it's a process that will need years to investigate properly so that victims are not missed. The weaponisation of victims for political gain by Tories, Reform and others is sickening.

You can buy 'gecko/lizard' spray. It can act as a deterrent, but is more effective if you spray the gecko directly. They will drop to the ground and appear stunned. Easy enough to them gently sweep them up and put them outside.

We haven't done it yet, but I have never heard that the money needs to have come from abroad. In our case, we've been living as family in Thailand for 10 years, so all our (and my wife's) money is here in Thailand.

Isn't there something can override or warn the pilots about this? I thought most actions were now computer-controlled?

Correct. Tesco sold up to the CP Group in 2020 and Carrefour sold Big C in 2010.

Is there more to this (a NI angle perhaps) than the usual xenophobia/racism?

Yes, some people seem to think Pattaya is Walking Street and soi 6!

Where will I buy my underwear from? Gutted.

Shocking. Crashed in a residential area as well. Mostly Indians, Brits, Portuguese and Canadian on board (according to Air India).

Horrible news of an Air India air crash in India - a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

That is for asylum seekers and refugees.

We moved from Bangkok, in the end to Ban Chang but we seriously considered Pattaya. You don't mention if you have kids, but it has certainly been a hugely positive move getting out of Bangkok both for me and my wife, but also my son. Ban Chang suits us best, but Pattaya can be a great place for family life. Good luck!

I'm looking for a reputable agent, with connections at Rayong Immigration, to help with changing my family's Extensions of stay. Most agents seem to be for Pattaya. Any recommendations?

Hmm, as I thought! So Gary Lineker was forced out for not being pro-Hamas enough?
