  1. Yup, obtaining the yellow house book requirements range from a copy of your passport to various translated copies of your documents , witnesses and several visits to the Amphur.

    My personal experience ( Amphur Bang Pa-in ) was gf’s blue book and id, a certified copy of passport from British Embassy then translated at MFA, my birth certificate translated at MFA and all the usual copies of passport etc.

    Armed with these documents returned to Amphur to be told by headman that also needed a certified copy of Decree Nisi from Embassy then translated at MFA .

    Couldn’t face another trip to BKK and the expense involved so abandoned it .

    Someone on here told me I should try the Tessabahn which I did only to be told that they only supplied yellow books for residents of the city ( Ayutthaya ) as I’m outside of city municipality could only get at my Amphur. He showed me some files for yellow book applications for residents of the city, huge folders of papers which he said were taking up to a month to get through !!

    Since then a local Tessabahn has been built near my home ( 1km away ), anyone have any experience of obtaining a yellow house book from Tessabahn ??

  2. almost all poison food sold at 7/11.
     
    water, coconut water, bananas, eggs and boiled eggs, maybe canned fish. maybe a few other things are OK. Even the Meiji Whey protein drink has sugar.
     
    everything else is processed meat or full of sugar or is mostly white rice. 
     
    great for small condoms at all hours.
     

    Small condoms ?
  3. People with a healthy pension may want to consider retiring to an upscale neighborhood or suburb of Santiago Chile. It's a first world country and the last time I checked their visa process is not horrible and they even consider applications on a case by case basis without sticking to hard number rules. No, I haven't been there and I've heard some people that like Argentina find Chile boring, but not sure boring is so bad for older people.

    IMHO Santiago Chile is a beautiful city, some great modern ( anti earthquake ) buildings give a unique feel, think modern pyramids !! Many Americanised bars and restaurants as well as local fayre.
    Skiing an hour to the east and the beaches an hour to the west , beaches aren’t that great as the sand is volcanic ( black ) but still attracts some tourists. A couple of beautiful cities, Valparaiso and Viña del Mar are worth a visit and the great choice of good quality wines is a definite advantage.
    It does have a good range of temperatures and can get a little cold in winter ( right now I’d settle for a bit of cold ????) but not excessive.

  4. I have 3 problems with Tops.  1.  The stuff in the freezers has all been re frozen.  You can tell by the ice in the bags (thaw and then freeze again).  All the freezers all the products must turn the temp down at some point to save money.  2.  Slicer in deli never sharpened so can't slice thin.  My wife won't let me show them how to sharpen it.  3.  All the bakery products dry as a result of over baking.
     
    I'd send an email if anyone has the man in charge in Thailand's email address.

  5. I totally agree. If he is under investigation for any criminal activities he should be denied entry to the U.S. Maybe someone should drop a dime on him. I am now happily living in the U.S. after residing in Thailand for 15 years. I am taking care of some financial matters now and going to come in to a large financial windfall. Guess what, I am not going to spend ONE CENT IN THAILAND.

    I got the email from the Nigerian prince also !!

    You and me are the chosen ones [emoji51]
