  1. You should take more care of where you slip your finger
  2. Why is that, you can retire at 50 if you have the funds, I did at 52, I don't need to work or run a business.
  3. If only I had enough teeth
  4. "coz the loan sharks are out for blood.
  5. There certainly is an Issue, the loan sharks will come banging on your door looking for her to repay, If you are with her in Thailand no matter what province you are in they will find you.
  6. Yeh I got caught out last year and had to do the whole process again 5 months later. I presume your extension finishes March 1 24? You will have to re-apply in Dec 24/Jan 25 it will change your renewal date, from then on. You do not have to show your new PP to Immigration until the renewal date, as they have no idea when you got it. I got my new OZ PP 3 months before, it took 3months and 4 days to arrive. For me it was a bloody nuisance for me as it is high season at that time, and so many doing their 30 day extensions it was packed at my IO, I used to do it in July/Aug with just a few others there. Relax you have plenty of time to get a new PP.
  7. Order a new passport ASAP. otherwise you It does not get made in Thailand it will come from OZ.
  8. Even procedures as far as I know I did not get a 50% discount for being married, but they where still a lot cheaper, 10k for MRI scan, for a night and a bum cam the next day. When I was not Married 5 weeks all up in an Isolation ward, with TB, my GF at the time stayed with me 24/7 (Her shop was closed for that time) 'Falang food' about 6K USD, after that, I asked my GF to marry me
  9. Simply not true IME but they are not that expensive anyway, 100b to see a doctor, BKK hospital around 4K! just to see a doctor I have been told.
  10. Why do people find that confusing? there is a standing charge whether you use any electric or not even at 54b which I believe is the normal charge, its still only 700 baht a year.
  11. Why aren't local vendors selling the snacks, like every other school I have seen? She teaches just 15 hours a week, hang on I better just check my maths , just 3 hours a day? Gives her at least 5 hours a day for other duties. My heart bleads
  12. None 'Coz they wouldn't live there in the first place. There is an Island just smaller than Pooket and way way much better.
  13. At 26 baht a month why get rid of the meter? To save 312 baht a year? Have you explained to PEA why your readings are low, to stop them replacing the meter, have you e-mailed there head office with photos attached?
  14. You can get the OZ pension paid into a Thai account but If you have assets in OZ then you could lose money as I understand it, it is means tested?, you can also get a disability pension paid into a Thai bank account if your wife/family live here. As for insurance if 3m baht in a good govt. hospital don't fix you then its all over IMO
  15. What a shame they left his wife to go through immigration alone, she should have been helped through with ground crew. Poor woman, my condolences to you.
  16. So how many water dumping choppers does Thailand have? Send in the fighter jets Oh wait they are no good to stop fires, but lets buy some more anyway. Are the water cannons still in Bangkok? they should be stationed over there in the first place.
  17. By a draconian government run by dinosaurs, used to get rid of any opposition they have.
  18. Yes the British pancake is the best, thin (other wise called Crepes), lemon juice, sprinkled with sugar, then rolled. Not like the thick ones that Thais and the Americans seem to prefer. YUK and we only had them one day of the year, not for forking breakfast everyday.
  19. It's unclear whether its just the render that's cracked or the blocks themselves, a portion of render would need to be removed to see that, say about an inch wide.
  20. Agree but if you do one side of the 'corner' first then when its set, do the other side, that can work.. or just use silicon.
  21. Passport showing visa/extension page, and copies, the green book, LoR, or yellow house book/pink ID card. Power of attorney form if not going to the office yourself, and the transfer form. power of attorney form Transfer form. If it is not taxed for 3 years then the reg. number will be automatically cancelled
  22. I have found just holding my breath for as long as possible worked.
  23. I realize the answer is probably no, but if you have a full M/C license from your own country like the UK, and wore a helmet would insurance pay out if you didn't have an international driving permit?
  24. His Grandmother looked very beautiful, obviously no inbreeding there, unlike some I can't mention. 🤐🤐
