    You said the Thatcher Government was on it's knees at that time. The IRA was more than a nuisance then.
  2. The Fugitive
    To be fair, the IRA were doing terrible things at home as at that time.

    As per a previous post though, this contravenes Article 6 (Geographical Limits) of the NATO treaty. Also, no mention of the most valuable assistance provided by our very good friends in South America.

    I changed the date (in biro) each time I made an on-line report. My regular IO warned me that's not valid and I should either; 1) Print it out and staple the new one in each time or 2) Visit Immigration Office for my 90 day reporting. That was telling me!

    Especially if your Mrs takes out Life Insurance on you. Mine views it as a funeral plan! I'm indirectly paying my own monthly premiums of course. Determined to survive the 20 year term and collect refund of all my premiums paid plus bonus.

    Interesting. When I went back to the UK last Summer I bought a Smarty SIM which has a monthly contract so I simply didn't pay anymore after I returned to Thailand. Is your UK SIM a pre-pay?
  7. The Fugitive
    Agreed, internet really is tops in Thailand! Even out in the rice paddies it's fast, cheap and same day service if there's any problem.

    It is complicated, to say the least. Stolen by colonials (Spanish), not part of Argentina when became independent, then stolen by Britain and a number of Argentinian inhabitants expelled. Vast majority of present inhabitants wish to remain Brits. Who are the actual original owners?

    Shopee better on delivery. Rang me up at 9am on day of delivery confirming which of my two addresses (home or shop) I was at today.
  10. The Fugitive
    Valid points Richard! At the time we thought 'The Falklands' was going to be a mere skirmish with a very rapid conclusion with Argentina quickly withdrawing when they realised we were serious.
  11. The Fugitive
    Because of geographical location? It's still UK territory inhabited by Brits. We have 'special arrangements' with non-NATO Countries (such as Chile) which proved most useful in 1982. I've personally taken part in a NATO exercise hosted by Chile (USA in command of course). Any more monkey business from those Italians who speak Spanish and think they're English and they won't know what (or who) has hit them!
  12. The Fugitive
    We didn't need any assistance.
  13. The Fugitive
    Population of The Falkland Islands voted to remain part of the United Kingdom. Anyway, it doesn't matter even if UK had no Navy. NATO has to back-up any member nation if invaded.

    Unlimited data, as is the norm for wired internet in Thailand. 12 month contract. Already have 300/300 at shop and speeds are always 'up there'. Can recommend!
  15. The Fugitive
    Many fibre internet special offers appear on my Facebook. Starting price 399 baht per month for 300/300 with free router and installation. I messaged True and received reply in excellent English.
  16. The Fugitive
    Where's Mrs Thatcher when you need her?
  17. The Fugitive
    A good idea. I always carry two phones everywhere. I know there are such things as power banks but a phone provides more functions!
  18. The Fugitive
    Amazing price! Very good service.
  19. The Fugitive
    I never asked, they offered to help for less than my agent charges. Best if you take a Thai person with you as they 'understand' each other!
  20. The Fugitive
    My IO operate a 'book system'. After each extension you can pay 2,000 baht and your name goes into the book for them to do your 90 day reports for you until your next extension. A tip gets you the VIP service i.e. telephone appointment, no form filling or questions, just hand in your passport and bank photocopies and they take your deskcam photo. They're always offering to help me in some way!
  21. The Fugitive
    In my own case that wasn't necessary. The IO asked me how much the agent charged and offered to 'do it for less'.
  22. The Fugitive
    Then your agent will either have to submit your 90 day reports upon your behalf or supply you with the address they've given to the IO so that you can do them. If you can't resolve this you could try going to the IO in the area you're actually living in and explain. If they're anything like my own IO they will jump at the chance to undercut your agents fees.

    Mine told me two criteria; 1) Married 2) Resident minimum 12 months.
  24. The Fugitive
    LatPhrao has provided a most superb solution. You need to obtain a copy of form TM30 from your landlord. 90 day reporting and extensions must use this address. No need for your agent to do your 90 day reporting for you (unless you've already paid in advance for the service). Easy to do at Immigration Office/by post/on-line.
  25. The Fugitive
    LatPhrao has put in into a nutshell. The key is the TM30 by his landlord. When he has this he'll know the address the IO have upon their records. He will then be able to make 90 day reports and apply for extensions with utmost ease.
