I guess you mean exchange rate, go to their website and you can see there, it's peer 2 peer system, almost mid market rate, their GBP to USD is amazing with just 0.5% charge. ... 

Just wondering. . . I don't drive. but my wife has held a driving licence for 18 months. We hoped to take a summer holiday in the UK and hire a car so she could drive us around.
 
However, she is adamant that she cannot legally drive in Britain until she gets her "full" Thai licence after holding her licence for two years - which won't be until the end of October.
 
Is she right - and if she is, does anyone know a get-around to avoid us having to put off our planned UK trip until next year?

This must be a dilemma for some TV posters - a Thai fighting a Chinese, which one to side with? Can they make out-of-context racist statements about both and get away with it?

RIP Anna Maria
Sounds like the poor old lady died doing something she loved doing, helping out at the temple.

Look at Transferwise, they charge about 1.5% for GBP and send Baht directly to your Thai bank, no other charges.  Their exchange rate is far better than any bank or forex...

Tell that to the last one I gave a Dutch Oven...

Is it an absolute that one must have a letter from your consulate stating your drivers licence (in my case Australian) is a genuine and not counterfeit?

Funny.
Alcohol is one of the many things that make life pleasant / bearable (your choice).
But perhaps "drinking in moderation" is a concept that is difficult to grasp for certain nationalities.
 
 

Well he shot himself in the foot there !!
Not literally of course, but probably a better outcome for him if he had done !

American complaining about the lack of transgender facilities ?

BTW: is your French license valid for car and motorbike?
In Thailand you need/get two separate licenses (plastic cards) for each.

I got my 1st Thai driving license in January 2017, I had a valid uk license and an IDP , I had a simple medical certificate, residence certificate and did the 3 tests ( colour, reaction and depth) .

If your home country license is expired or not in English ( + no IDP ) then you will have to do the practical ( driving ) test and watch a video.

Which province are you planning to relocate to?

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 ☹️

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 !

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
 

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.

"redirect traffic to the right side "

The consensus re: bank account seems to be;
Yes, open a new account at local branch, transfer existing funds, close original account.

Thanks guys.

Okay thanks Charlie and Ben have done just that for 1).

Will be relocating to a different province shortly and would like some advice.

TM 28 and TM 30:

Can I present at immigration in new province at the same time ? and what documents do I need.

Thanks in advance.

Whackos on , whackos off !!
