Hi all, my wife's son works near Chiang Rai and she wants to visit him there later this year; in addition, she wants to pop across the border to Myanmar for a brief visit (returning to Thailand the same day). WHat is the nearest border crossing fro, Chiang Rai? and how easy is it to get a visa on arrival or do I (UK passport need to get a visa in advance? Similarly does my THai wife need to get a visa in advance?

Due to a stroke 2 years ago, I am now disabled though I do have limited mobility.

Thanks.

You don't need to be in the U.K. to file a will. Select a U.K. lawyer and it can be done from here.

Correct, but please be very careful if doing a UK Will, that you don't inadvertently revoke your Thai Wil. It's very easily done. Also your UK Will should specify that it on;y relates to your assets in the UK or outside Thailand.

The same happened to a friend's cousin a few years ago. A Catholic priest p-aid his overstay fine. Th UK Embassy then arranged his flight home but confiscated his passport until the cost of the flight was refunded This guy is a total ar*e and has been disowned by his family

Correction to Kuma, he grew up driving on the wrong side of the road. Until I came to Thailand, I had never driven an automatic but now would never go back to a car with manual gears

Hand drawn map to your residence too. Though I was given pen and paper and asked to do one on the spot. 

Never been asked for that but i apply on basis of money on the bank for 90 days

aLAN.

I had no 7 once in Bangkok but a simple phone call to my wife solved the problem and resulted in a lower fare than was on the meter.

There was no requirement to do 90 day reporting,but I believe

it was a law,they did not seem so paranoid where you were and

what you were doing, but before leaving the country you had to 

do a tax report,which was a joke,as all they required was 200 or

300 THB,

regards worgeordie

I've been here 13 years and there has always been a requirement to report my address every 90 days since I last entered the country

( at Jomtien).

No surprise Thailand is so low in the rankings

I try o back up ,y important files etc on a weekly basis. Have a calendar reminder to do this, which reminds me I must do do this now.

Alan

Would that be 2 out of 2 perhaps?

I had to check my calendar to ensure that this wasn't 1st April!-) ????

I've taken generic Ciallis on both domestic and international flights though it was in my hold luggage - no problems.

There has been a huge amount  of rain in Ban Chang already this month so warning of more heavy rain is not a surprise surprise for today.

Think about what will happen if you nave a stroke and no-one to look after you

It makes a difference for the internet banking. Especially if your passport has expired. It happened to me. I was not able to login. I called the bank and they told me I need to update my passport informations to be allow to access my account online. Also, for the bank book.

Same happened to me as well so those saying do nothing don't know what they're talking about

Thank you to all kind responses so far. Obviously I will contact my lawyer to write this all up properly in due time, I am stage 4 C and must prepare so make it easier on friends and family. So, "forgiving that debt/mortgage" would hold up? I will also instruct my trusted brother who

is the main heir and will receive all residual Estate about my wishes separately. Anybody have experience with such a specific case? How detailed does it need to be written down, spelled out? Any danger the probate court does not understand, I guess the administrator is the final "force", but will the Land-Office act on his behalf and revoke that mortgage. Sorry, about the many questions, but this all comes to mind preparing for what is to come. Thank you and nice weekend.  MS>

Simoly bequeath any balance outstanding on the mortgage to he person you lent the money?

I renewed my UK passport  a few years ago. (i think I used my internet bill to prove my address( and found the people at Trendy to be extremely efficient.Somewhat surprising maybe but can't complain about the service I received.
