Most AirBnB renters normally rent for period less than 30 days, which is illegal, unless registered as a hotel. Only Hotels are permitted to rent rooms for less than 30 days. Non-hotels can only rent for 1 month or more.

Thanks for your assistance in explaining this, I just saw his query to my post ????

Although the form can be completed online, many foreigners complain it takes weeks, or even months, to request a username and password. Patipat said even his son had to wait two weeks when trying to report guests staying in his AirBnb (“He complained about it to me!”).

So the son of an immigration officer is running an (I believe) illegal AirBnB !! Amazing Thailand.

It's a lot. I used to be able to see it flowing down Nongkabork, sure as clockwork after 15-20mins I'd get reports of floods downhill.

 

The Khao in Noi & Talo means Hill in English. That's a clue.

Thanks Doc, I learn something new everyday ???? 

I checked my location height on Google maps, we live out on the darkside, for reference that is around the top end of Khow Noi & Khow Talo (sorry about the spelling) the temple at the top of the hill is about 83 mtrs above sea level, you imagine all that water from yesterdays storm runs straight down hill all the way over the railway road and away to the Gulf, how many gallons of water was that ? 

Ever since they cleared all the forest to make way for yet more housing and shopping malls (yes we have one on the darkside ???? )  there is less and less land to soak up surplus water, everything is covered in concrete and will only get worse in the future as more land is cleared and concreted over.

I heard somewhere that long term use of a car cover can somehow damage the paintwork !! Don't ask me how, it's what I was told.

The TM47 90day checks should be on the kill list as well. It can all be replaced by using the existing system with yellow thabian baan and the pink ID.

That may be okay for you, I don't have either of those, what is your solution to that please ?

Well done SB, I knew you could do it mate, I am about 6 months ahead of you, and to be honest I don't miss it at all, keep up the good work, you are past the difficult bit.

Some people have no shame. The same as officials stealing kids food money or money put aside for the poor & destitute. 

If this woman is guilty chuck her in the slammer and throw the key away.

I wish he would just roll over and.................................Well  I'm sure you get my drift ????

I have paperclips on my desk that are less bent than these toads.

Only stupid people buy a house next to an airport, they really want compin the early morning and ensation !!!

I used to live in the English countryside, we had people from the big city move to the outskirts of the village and then started to complain about farmyard smells, cocks crowing early morning and automatic bird scarers ???? Muppets.

Not sure about what's happening with your $ bills there, but when I used to holiday here back in the early 2000's I used to bring pristine unused £50 & £20 notes as I discovered that the banks here were very reluctant to change any notes that had any marks on them, you could find it difficult to exchange them at a local bank here.

Is it possible to pay at their office in advance ? We use TMN and luckily live not far from one of their offices we have paid in advance when going away or give the money to a friend and ask them to pay the bill for you when it arrives.

Well it's a start, let's hope it continues in the same vein and not just a flash in the pan like a lot of the crackdowns here.

I'm not surprised by the number of vehicles failing, I personally thought it would be higher, I am however very surprised at the number of drivers failing, I thought that would have been much much higher.

There was an advert on the tv a couple of years back that had a young girl, maybe 8 or 10 year old, standing in the back of a soft top beemer I think, it was on a wide empty road with mum & dad in the front thinking its all good, how stupid is that then eh Yinn ?? 

It's about time this country woke up to road safety as the majority of our planet has.

I did search for the ad but had no luck, I'm sure someone will have better skills than I ????

I left the country in May. Did my 90 day report last month. Nothing mentioned.

And I did my 90 day last month and nothing mentioned, I'll wait and see what happens to me in October, depending when you reported you'll find out either in October or the beginning of November, enjoy.

Is there perhaps some other factor like a change of address? 

No. No changes anywhere.
