  1. Wondering if you had seen this Owl or know the guy ? Ban Dung , presumably the one you mention occasionally ? I didn’t read it as this sort of topic usually attracts a great load of tripe comments !
  2. Because, as stated 5 minutes earlier: ” DWP issue "proof of life" forms on a random basis, people and timeframe, if the only postal address they have for you is outside the UK. “
  3. I started using the Brave Browser on iPad and iPhone because of this annoying video. Cleared it immediately, still get the occasional pop up reminder about the newsletter ( despite having subscribed ) but the bottom right hand video annoyance is a thing of the past !!
  4. On my previous trip they also requested a utility bill for the address on my U.K. license ,which I didn’t possess. I managed to wriggle out of this lack of documentation before producing my 5 year Thai license which I was worried might have complicated matters. So next time, around Aug time, i will forget the U.K. license rigmarole and go with the Thai license.
  5. You may be surprised at the prices now for U.K. car rental, seems like there has been an almighty increase. Seems like picking up the car from the airport is a premium price, I shopped around last August and found a car rental place ( also Europcar ) in a city location. Meant I had to travel from the airport downtown but cut my rental bill from £1,436 to £747, this still a lot more expensive than my previous trip 3 years earlier ( pickup at airport ).
  6. My Makro has the Horeca Cheddar, 2 kg for 659 baht, as stated earlier it is a bit bland but I cut it into 8 and freeze it and it seems to bring the taste out .
  7. I wonder if that’s the reason that Thailand only get 2 LFP versions of MG4 , while in the U.K. they get 2 NMC versions and only 1 LFP ??
  8. Not my experience at all . Will admit when my gf’s grandmother died aged 100 few tears were shed and the funeral was more a celebration of her, long , life. But, when my gf’s sister died suddenly and unexpectedly ,aged 53, there were plenty of tears from the mother, remaining 9 siblings, children, grandchildren and close friends . All in all very similar to reactions seen in the west.
  9. While some posters are questioning the necessity to reveal the deceased sexual orientation this poster has chosen to use it as cause of death !! Only on ASEANNOW ????
  10. I only ever wai my mil, when I can remember, i certainly don’t wai immigration or police . Why would you wai someone who is only doing their job , or not ! as is often the case .
  11. Well hopefully it doesn’t come to that Owl, but i can foresee you paying an extra couple of payments to avoid the salty cuppa !!
  12. Luckily you are adept at building dog houses Owl, I should be preparing a 3rd “ extra large “ if I were you !!
  13. Well the Honda HR-V EV seems like a very good price , roughly a 100k cheaper than the HEV ? But according to this report from: autolifethailand.tv the price in Thailand might be more .
  14. BYD coming fast and strong with their range of EV’s, as well as the Atto 3, Dolphin and Seal which are already available/due here’s a larger SUV and a stylish sedan.
  15. According to a google report from 2 weeks ago it is still closed.
  16. You are correct, i use an iPhone and although I had installed Brave browser i hadn’t tried the forum on it until now. 20 minutes without the pop up newsletter or right hand bottom corner video annoyances. Happy ????
  17. My experience: Pathum Thani IO: residence cert 500 baht , no waiting, no receipt. Ayutthaya IO : residence cert 0 baht, no waiting.
  18. Agree, i too am grateful to be able to use this forum for free , and all the laughs, information and anger that goes with it ????. The static ads are accepted as we all realise how the forum works but the pop up ads are detrimental to the function of the forum, can the owner not see that ??, and surely are making posters spend less time here, I know i am. We are reminded occasionally not to use an Adblocker on the forum to gain revenue but that request has become an empty vessel as the forum becomes more and more unusable.
  19. Likewise, got a home visit for a new non imm O visa, based on retirement, back in November, Ayutthaya immigration.
  20. In a similar vein Roger Waters is releasing his version of Dark Side of the Moon . Imho both events are going to struggle to attract the approval that the originals received 50 years ago. The world is a different place nowadays.
  21. Who’s cleaning their ar$e with sliced bread ??
  22. Actually 3.6 on IMDb now. Was going to take a look but think i’ll pass now.
  23. So, another Bjørn test on the MG4, this time a range test . A mixed bag , thumbs up for the suspension and wind noise, thumbs down for the sound system, adaptive cruise control reactions and some questionable inboard range figures ( another dig at Chinese software ). This time he does throw in a couple of Tesla comments though ! Range appears to come in at 330 km at a steady 90 kph on the highway and down to 226 km when up the speed to 120 kph, a long way from the 425 km range (NEDC) quoted by MG, of course with a mixture of highway and city driving 350 km should be possible thanks to regen and some careful driving. All in all, this is still, imho, a great little car at a great price, the driving experience has to be the best in its class, again imho ????.
