    I have both passports and usually drive and drop off and pick up the next day . Now with all done online it would be a good idea to shoot the dublin consulate an email for further advise . 

    To be honest with you, your better off using your british passport as you are situated in England.  

    This may help if you dont have a british passport

  2. I was involved in a motorbike accident last year and was took to a state hospital stayed 2 nights after being patched up by doctors, the por ra bor insurance covered me and they didn't need a police report.  The hospital sorted it all out and all they needed was a signature . I'm near sure the bill was 19000b .

  3. Get a starling (debit card ) for them and you can limit and see real time what has been withdrawn and where . There is no fee to pay starling only the usual atm fees unless they go into the bank and withdraw . I've read recently that going into the bank with your card and withdrawing is free . Apparently "starling" has been voted the best bank 2 or 3 years in a row , so they must be doing something right .

    Troll post for sure, but let's bite:

     

    Normal Thais don't take loans from loan sharks. Was she a bar girl or freelancer before marrying you? Did she marry you for money or love? Bar girls have been known for making up elaborate stories to extract money out of their "teerak" any way possible. It could very well be that the "loan shark" is a husband, boyfriend, or relative back home who she's sending money to regularly.

     

     

    Either way, charging more than 15% interest on a loan is illegal, and charging interest on the interest is illegal. Pay the original interest due on the original loan, at 15% max, and nothing more. If he wants more, point him to the law, and block him. It's quite odd that she hasn't blocked him already - unless of course it's a scam to get more money out of you.

    What's a normal Thai ? I know loads of thais who borrowed money from people who wanted high interest rates . So it's a lot more common than you think

    you must use a agent in pp loads to choose from, they just call their fixer who will say yes or no and how long before you pay any money

    Update - :laugh:  So............ that guy didn't want to come, so wife got another guy. New guys turns up as promised, prices the job and we are happy. I promised him an Xtra 1000 baht if he finishes before Xmas day. 

    Now,  he must have told someone that he was getting an Xtra 1000 baht because the guy who didn't want to do it turned up and said he wants to do it now.

    Wife laughed him out the gate. Unbelievable ! 

    Money talks . ..or in your case the new builder talks 

  8. Went to the Samsung shop in Surin last week and left a phone in to be fixed ....when I asked the nice lady at reception when would be the best time to call back for my phone she said "when it has been fixed"  

    Frustrating but so true .... I've had similar experiences with work I've had done around the house , getting a time or date for commencing or completion of jobs is virtually impossible . Used to really annoy  me now I go with the flow ..

  9. XE currency converter is one of the most essential apps you will need while generally travelling or doing visa runs etc. 

    "Around Me" is another useful one for finding ATMs , banks , bars, cafes , hospitals etc  in your general area .

    Air Asia do not have a free baggage allowance. You can purchase baggage allowance from 15kg up to 40kg. The price charged depends on departure port and arrival port. This link lets you check if you are planning to fly. http://www.airasia.c...eeschedule.page

     

    I arrived in Bangkok from the UK with my case weight 20 Kilos, I then wanted a single flight to Phitsanulok max weight for luggage 15 kilos. Welcome back to LOS land of stupidity. Like I was going to dump 5 kilos from my case. I just got a bus.

    Air asia now offer optional 20kg with a flight meal on flights to Phitsanulok among other places ..for an additional 432b
