Question to you tall riders. 

What suggestions do you have regarding cruisers available in Thailand for tall guys?

New or old model, budget THB300K-400K and after market accessories suggestions to make the rider more suited to the long legged types?

I will be seeking to secure a multiple entry Non-B in relation to a work permit, not a business enterprise. 

The Thai Consulate HK website gives the impression that 'multiples entry visas' can only be obtained when associated with a business in Thailand.

Is it correct to say they do not allow the multiple entry option in relation to work permits?

If they do however, what is the cost in HKD?

Has anyone had experience using this company and it's produces?

I'm looking to buy an aftermarket Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, similar to the one pictured.

Does anyone have any brand/model recommendations based solely on their experience with such an aftermarket system?

Ideally, I would prefer a solar powered option (as pictured)

Thank you. Is payment in cash in HK Dollars?

I'll be applying for a Non B Business visa in Hong Kong later this month.

What is the waiting time between making the application in the the morning and collecting my passport? Same day afternoon or next day morning or afternoon?

Depending on the band an easy way to do it would look for the album on You Tube then download it straight onto a stick from there. Unfortunately , it is with video so no good for the car. You might also find the album ( music only ) on the net and download it for free.

Actually, with the app I mentioned you can choose the format you want to download. Yes indeed YouTube only offers videos, but within the choices in the app you can record only the sound as an mp3.

Your best bet is to find the music/album you want on YouTube. Copy the link and paste it into an app such as this http://convert2mp3.net/en/index.php

You can then convert it into an mp3, download and add to your thumb drive.

To be frank, if you can feel a defined 'click' when you run your fingernail over it, chances are the scratch won't polish out.

You may decide that the scratch does not feel that defined and attempt to polish it out with fine abrasive paste.

If you do, you may risk removing the protect clear coat on that patch. Which then exposes the colour coat and a definite patch will be evident. making thing worse.

These 'scratch removing pens' don't remove or fill the scratch, they just mimic the clear coat by hiding the damaged.

The only way to remove scratches you can feel, would be to have damage professionally prepared and refinished.

If you rent a house and the property owner defaults on their payments to the bank, and now the bank plans to foreclose on the mortgage. What rights do the current tenants have?

Pretty much think I know expected answer, (F' all),  but hey...you never know?

Anyone care to check the date of this footage? 13.05.2014

My students have been asking me about short term placement/exchange trips to English speaking countries. (1-2 month duration)

To be frank I don't know directly of any such organisation and after quickly searching the net there are many.

Can anyone recommend any trustworthy and competent online resources?

Thanks

Sadly no, it's closed

You apparently have an extension of stay based upon retirement you obtained at immigration not a visa.

You cannot change the reason for your extension to one based upon marriage until your current one expires. The only thing you can do now is leave the country and apply for a single entry non-o visa based upon marriage at a nearby embassy or consulate. Then you could apply for a work permit. And then during the last 30 days of the 90 day entry from the visa apply for an extension based upon marriage.

I'm sorry Joe but I must disagree with you.

I changed from a retirement extension with 6 months left to run to a marriage extension. The retirement was cancelled and a new 12 month extension issued. Admittedly, the IMO was not keen as it causes them more work but I insisted (needed the funds to purchase a car). There is nothing in the 'book' that says it cannot be done, just the IMO could be reluctant to do it because of the extra work. JMHO.

Coincidently I did my 90 day at Khon Kaen Immigration this afternoon.

While being fast tracked through by the admin girl I enquired about my option in this regard.

She pretty much indicated the course of action would be similar to what Madgee has stated.

Having said that, this advise came from the Admin girl but did tally with the above.

Agree, at time to do your extension it should be no problem. Have you asked about getting a work permit on your retirement visa? Some places allow.

Working on a retirement visa!

Please elucidate....thats interesting

Ok good advise. Clarity is taking shape

Basically I am retired and as such currently utilise the appropriate visa.

However, I want to do something with my time and a teaching opportunity has be offered to me.

The school requires I get a work permit and keep things fully legit, and so I need to change my visa accordingly.

I still have 8 months to go on my retirement visa and so I was wondering if I can transfer (with all the right documents) my retirment visa to a marriage visa? I can then apply for a work permit.

To under take this I would visit the Savannakhet Immigration. I mention that because sometimes specific immigration offices look more kindly on some transactions. Maybe Savannakhet is one?

Whats your advise?
