  1. Yeah, like others have said you would have been okay elsewhere due to the fact that she was on the wrong side of the road with no lights.
    But ( there it is again ), you are the rich farang so will probably have no option but to pay up .
    It's a shame cos if you would have looked left one more time it would have been avoided.
    Not blaming you personally, I've done similar ☹️

  2. It would appear that the bike is trying to undertake the pickup, but could also be the pickup tried to enter the gas station before the mc got there and misjudged it ?

    Could have been one of those last minute decisions to enter the gas station , you know, one of those " stop there's a 7 and I'm hungry " moments !!

    Without any video footage further up the road difficult to say IMO.

    But as to whether he knew or not that he had hit the mc ?

    Surely he couldn't be that stupid to just fill up his tank as if nothing had happened.......... but then again !

     

     

  3. I moved from Pattaya to Bangkok.  Since I have been in Thailand ( 5 years ) I have COPIES of ==> ALL DOCUMENTS  
    Owners Documents ( Originals, I had copies )
    Copy of Lease
    Copy of rent payment and condo security deposit I deposited in owners bank account
    Passport
    Copy of Passport homepage and opposite page.
    Copy of Last """"Visa"""" - extension of stay
    Copy of last 90 day report
    Copy of Last Entry Stamp
    Copy of TM6 Departure Card
    Copy of 300Thb electric bill, found in new mailbox, Paid at 7-11
    Copy of extension payment receipts
    (NOTE: Depending on YOUR situation - why / what - you stay in Th for, documents needed DO vary, ASK for help at IMMIGRATION.)
    7 minutes later I left the Immigration building!!
     
    Always:
    Know in ADVANCE what you ""might"" need - make a trip to a Immigration office and """ask for help"""
    Carry a COPY of your Passport picture page ... Kodak store can make wallet size color copy and laminate under 100Thb
    Do your 90 day report 5 days in advance of report date, have time to solve problems
    Do your """" Retirement Visa"""" - extension of stay - 30 days in advance ( you loose no time ), have time to solve problems
     

    Very good advice, thanks.
    I have the receipt from TM30 stapled in my passport but have never done a TM28/ moved residence before.
    I usually go to immigration with more than I need , but that's okay [emoji4]
  4. A tm 28 is simply you telling immigration of a change of address. Once done unless you move you should never have to gile another one. Seems the headaches are the TM 30 supposedly every time you leave the country the house owner or you as the posseser  should go to immigration and declare an alien living at that address on a tm30. It really does depend on your immigration office. I have been out of the country many times and not been to immigration with a tm 30 (well the mrs). Was told when i asked about it once no need unless you change address, if you leave country and return to same address no problem dont need to do it. Where as other offices have said people have to. Best to ask at your office that way you can be certain.

    Yeah, I filed a TM30 with Pathum IO last January, I left the country in Feb and did my 90 days report this week, nobody mentioned that I hadn't done another TM30 upon returning into Thailand, but I do understand that some IO have different rules ( or not adhere to the rules completely ).
  5. Soon I will be moving provinces ( Pathum Thani to Phra Nakhon si Ayutthaya ), and would like some advice please .

     

    1. TM28 & TM30

    I understand I will have to present a TM28 at Ayutthaya IO but can I do the TM30 at the same time, and what is required ?

     

    2. Thai driving license

    I imagine I have to change address on my DL at Ayutthaya DLT, what documents do I need ?, DL, passport, residence certificate etc ?

     

    3. Car license plate

    As I lived in Pathum, bought the car in Rangsit with a Bangkok license plate I imagine this will not be necessary to change to Ayutthaya province plates ?

     

    4. Bank Branch Office

    As I lived in Pathum, opened a Bank account at Bangkok Bank in Rangsit ( Bangkok ) I imagine a move to Ayutthaya province will not need a Branch Office change ?

    I never needed to visit Branch office after opening account anyway and will be only 38 km away

     

    Anything I have forgotten ?

  6. Got one in the apartment, pay 100 baht a month, I've never used it, don't even know the number !!
    Only rang 3 times in last year, from apartment reception to tell gf she has some package from her internet wheeling and dealing !!
    Frightens the shinola out of me when it rings [emoji16]

  7. I'm on the lookout for a house right now and if there isn't one I think a spirit house will be on the shopping list , maybe give me a bit of respect as " the only farang in the soi " and will keep 'er indoors happy on the spiritual side !!
    Plus, I think they look pretty cool, a win , win situation ! [emoji4]

  8. OP
    It is indeed an urban myth that there is more value in the tab than the can . They are both made from the same aluminium, virgin or recycled.( I worked in the canmaking business for 31 years ).

    But that should not stop you from donating these tabs , my gf also collects them for the same reason.

    Well done, even though they are the same material as the aluminium can there is still value in them and your donations are still helping someone in need.
