No mention of improving the chaotic parking arrangements for the pickup of arriving passengers which is in bad need if an upgrade.

Exercise with a 4-5 km walk every morning. I can spend 3-4 hours gardening or doing other household chores most days. With at least 3 trips to the supermarket every week. Afternoon's are for R&R and catching up with other ex pats that might be around and having a beer.

It's been awhile since marvo the memory man made an appearance.

If you sign up to use the banks mobile banking App you can transfer money to other bank accounts, without paying a fee. Also you can pay your bills, PEA etc without going to the office or going to your bank or 7-11.

If someone is providing you with a service to enhance your life here it only seems sensible for them to receive an acknowledgement because of the service they have provided. A small sum of money is nothing compared to you losing out on living here or obtaining documents that make your life easier. Remember we are all guests and it isn't a good idea to upset your hosts. Be humble and show respect, you'll find it goes along way here.

This guy is clearly unfit for office as in fact he has been for the last 10 years.

Usually the IOs in Roi Et are very helpful and you should go there and talk your situation over and obtain their advice. I was aware of at least 1 agent operating in Roi Et but understand they are no longer in business. This was pre covid. For boots on the ground info the expat bar restaurants around the lake side in the centre of Roi Et and elsewhere in the city, would be a good upto date source of the current agent situation. Good luck.

I got mine signed at Pattaya beach road police station for 200 baht last month. Was in and out in 5 minutes.

My new PC policy has gone from 27580pa to 38412pa for the renewal this month and moving into the 66-70 age bracket. However they have offered a new policy at the same premium which covers some outpatient cover not previously available.

Mine was 15% for this year's renewal. And if no claims for 5 years with the new policy it is a maximum of 20% upon renewal.

Since the release of the report on the institutionised way cricket behaves, I have stopped following it, I don't want to watch a bunch anti this anti that bigots running around a piece of grass, pretending it's a sport.

Sangsom is good and smooth too. About the only spirit I drink here, except the odd tequila when on manoeuvres ...

Luckily I got my renewal done in January, I did have to ask for the letter, it was not offered voluntarily. Good luck to those pitching up with the attachment at their local IO.

The only internal affairs the illegitimate caretakers are worried about is the potential halt to their cash from the burmese butchers who they are intrinsically linked to and often relate to the murderers as their brothers. Nuff said.

As far as I am aware from the list provided with the Life certificate form, bank personnel are not listed. I got mine signed at the local police station, fee 200 baht including the official police stamp.

Why on earth did they do it. This guy shows no respect and as far as I am concerned is a talentless Muppet.

No bars are open in the new build between TT and 2nd road, I was there last week. I believe some may open in the next couple of months. The MiT bars at the Buakhao end are all open although some are very quiet.

My last UK state pension did not arrive 2 weeks ago. Upon contacting the international pension centre, they told me it was stopped because I hadn't returned the life certificate sent in February. I never received it at my home address here in Thailand. It was all sorted out on the phone with a email sent to me enclosing the life certificate. My payment resumed a week later than it should have. I airmailed the life certificate back a couple of days after I got it as I needed the witness statement signed. Ironically the letter saying my payment was going to be stopped arrived a few days after my phone call to IPC, with another life certificate form attached. It took nearly 6 weeks to arrive here.

Sounds like you got off lightly, good bail out. If you smell a rat and become uncomfortable it's always best to walk. Plenty more out there. Also 5k to eat at a Isaan restaurant is a red flag immediately. I feed a dozen on less than half that.

What do these idiots think when they go into these places, it's a freebie. Dumb as **** If your not sure about the prices ask to see the list, or pay as you go.

Hardly surprising as the slaughter of the innocent continues. And the corrupt, so called caretaker government, is inviting the equally corrupt butchers of Burma to a meeting in Bangkok. Well done the other ASEAN members for refusing to attend and poking another finger in the nose of the pathetic Too and his cronies.

Bunch of jokers, how many previous orders to complete the work have been issued, with no effect whatsoever.

All the time

Anyone who gets involved with crypto deserves all they get or don't get...

Oh well, just another blow to the already tattered image of the corrupt buffoons at the BiB.
