Annual Marriage Extension with new Passport question
So If I understand you correctly this is the first marriage extension on your new passport, do you have your old one??? with the same stamp as the one I posted? I just put in the new PP number myself. having said that I have never had to have a "verified translation" ever, I don't even understand why they need it, can they not read English as in your PP ? But when I renewed my OZ PP back in Sept 22 you had to go to the OZ embassy in person, to apply, I understand now that is not necessary so maybe that has changed the goal posts. But personally I would try with your old translation, how long before your extension date, can you apply? 45 or only 30 days.?? First you need to find out how long it takes to get a translation, (if needed) and if they can do it by post or you have to attend the embassy, which may need an appointment. I would e-mail them first or maybe check out there website, in Thailand. Sorry I can't help more.

Annual Marriage Extension with new Passport question
I don't understand how that is possible, your extension only lasts to the expiry date of your old passport. no need to get stamps transferred until apply for new extension. What PP do you have from which country? Many PP do not need translations. As with the OZ one. What IO is important if you want answers.

Any 7/11 most pharmacies, almost any shop as I said, even Ma&Pa shops, around 20b They come in various aromas. You can use them just as an inhaler, unscrew the end dab it on your upper lip or on your chest at night, on mozzie bites. around 3'' long. Thais use them a lot. I also have an umbrella/walking stick I got from Lazada strong and really cheap.

Consumer council demands inspections of Yellow and Pink train services
Yes, You could get hit by a falling workman with a big hammer in his hand. Meant add also bearings should be pressed in with a bench press, not with a big hammer. BELOW !

What Car would you buy now sub 800k Baht
I said it is 24 yrs old and no conversion except an LPG conversion, it is a sport with smaller wheels, on gas with A/C on 0-100kph 8.3 sec. Yes the original car was Datsun sunny, not sure where Renault comes into it unless that is the diesel version. The newer Nissan sunny has the same running gear as my old NV.

No shat Sherlock, No split pins were fitted, Nyloc nuts can be fitted but can fail at 120c all stub axles now need to be remove to have split pin holes drilled and castellated nuts fitted, not someone trying to drill through standing up on a work platform, a bench drill is the only correct way, all bearings need to be replaced and greased properly, seals fitted and with the correct pre-load applied with the correct torque. come back to me in 3months when that is all finished. VERY Basic engineering that a 17yr old apprentice should know.

No offence taken, took a new hybrid for a test drive, I found it awful to drive no real gearshift/auto lever you could feel, just a switch, I had to glance down for when driving to change modes, no spare wheel just a chemical repair kit, so if you got a real blowout you'd be stuck, the sensors were overbearing, just reversing out of their yard side sensors were going off, putting the brakes on when someone made a U turn and correctly across the fast lane I was in, to the slow lane, making the steering wheel shudder, I consider my eyes are my sensors, indicators unable to just hold for a second or two, either on or off only. plus being offered only 165k for my car in perfect condition with only 71,000 on the clock, That's when I made my made up to keep it. I find the juke a dream to drive.

Kor Ror 2 for Non-O Marriage Extension
My bank only takes 20min Max. It took me 2hrs just to, fill in and sign the mirade of paperwork which includes sticking all 6 must have glossy photos to their A4s , With their TV blasting out, then an hour for them to process, with complaints from them it's to much paperwork, I did point out it's them that make that problem not me, With a comment from them "don't get angry" I assure you I was nowhere near angry, then they tried to tell my wife for me to get a retirement extension instead next time, yet AGAIN. Forgot to add we have to drag along our witness as well, and I have to sign whatever paperwork they have. Thailand 0.00000000004

Or a crossover/SUV if you prefer a saloon/hatchback, as I do, my preference is NISSAN. My newer car is a JUKE 1.6 7yrs old, goes like sheet of a shovel when floored, my missus has a March 1.2 3cyl if you need power you have to turn of the A/C even in "sport mode" , my very old car is a 24yr old NV, same engine as the Juke, engine still bursts into life, but now sits idle as the Auto box is forked up, no reverse.

You can Get a new one from any Amphur anywhere. Yep 20b and that was with copies and a receipt, 5-10min we even got ours at "Lunch time" when Immigration are closed, without even skeleton staff. Not sure where you are but there is an Amphur very close to my IO. Edit: I just checked and there is an Amphur office on Highway 3 about !k from On Nut station. Google is your friend.
