  1. I deal with Jomtien, and they don’t care who takes the papers they require down to them. They don’t want a bank statement, just copies from your bank book going back three months with the account book front page showing account details, and the relevant copies from your passport of last extension applied for etc etc. who ever goes, take the originals with you. It’s a really quick process.
  2. Just tell the landlord that the withheld deposit is the full limit of your liability per the contract, and you will be contacting the tax people to ensure that he's declaring all his rental income. That may make him back off. Nobody wants the tax people looking at their affairs.
  3. I find it useful to keep the ID card in my wallet for Hotels, Post Office, Hospital etc. Sometimes get the Thai rate for entrance to some places. Worth having, definitely.
  4. If it's obvious you are travelling together the people directing the traffic normally direct you both to the Thai immigration desks.
  5. Look near the universities. Plenty of condos for rent in those areas. Mostly student tenants though.
  6. We used EVA from BKK to LHR return, back end of last year. Don’t recall what aircraft it was, but it was comfortable and the level of service was OK. Only issue was having to wear a face mask during the flight but that I understand was a Taiwanese rule, that the airlines had to comply with.
  7. I hope they keep a few in museums, because I don’t think many will survive against modern warfare equipment. Would be a shame to loose part of history on a battlefield.
  8. I guess the easy answer is alert security or the police. That’s what they are there for. Tough call to make though.
  9. We used to take ours to a guy that does recycling in our area. For the 1 Baht a bottle you get it's not really worth the effort, so we leave the full boxes of empty bottles out for the rubbish collection team, who I'm sure store and sell them on in bulk after a while, so they are recycled via that route.
  10. I think I’d be too busy to pay the rent until he registers the TM30. Just a thought.
  11. We’ve flown in ( I think Canada was the originating destination) and we had 7 large to medium suitcases, plus hand baggage and there was no interest from customs at Bangkok as we passed through.
  12. I think the contractor used the finest balsa wood available, however lack of maintenance has also had a role to play !! ????
  13. I transfer money into my Wise account….maybe an hour to do that, then a few seconds generally to make the home currency transfer to my Kasikorn account. Seems pretty efficient.
