Was renting out my house in Oz before i got a state pension, the ' Maintenance' costs were draining my income considerably, when you have to use licenced tradesmen via the agent, (it depends on the tenant) changing a tap washer $ 200, they tried replacing a bulb and managed to rip the fitting out of the ceiling, blocked the toilet, blocked gutters, apparently all my fault the list goes on. Warning when making a tenancy agreement specify what you will pay for. Edit; when i sold it a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Nah they do it as a way to not have you produce documents to open an account like residency letter from immigration etc. Scam !

I think Bank Of Thailand is the main clearing bank.

That old one must buy insurance, they tried that on a mate of mine 2 yrs ago (not Russian ) when he wanted to open an account with them, after contacting BBK on line, he found out no its not necessary, get the tellers name and their position and report them I would call it a scam but TIT so i won't.

I would take new photos, we get a friend to take those forced photos, last year when we gave in the photos the officer said "Oh you have new fridge'' eagle eyed they are.

This is about picking up your extension when it has been granted, not when applying.

I had this idea of forming convoys on the main roads say 2 cop cars in front of say 200 cars driving to the speed limit with a cop cars or M/C driving on the left mingled in any one overtaking is nicked. sound stupid but 'could' work.

That is to check Emissions nothing to do with the decibel reading.

''Thanks for registering your hemp farm We have tested your Hemp flowers and they are 0.21% so we will confiscate it and will arrest you'' said A Nut In government soon.

Sell the hemp flowers to Them, your left with stalks and leaves good for rope and fabric. Add hemp oil to your list.

They are just trying to Rope in tourist here.

It was CCTV footage ????

There was a problem with their CVT transmission which ended up in a class action, in Thailand also.

The school director should also be arrested for Collusion.

Unwary= bad driving skills

Durian will ripen off the tree but are not as 'tasty'

I think eating food from shared dishes is more of a problem than alcohol. Least we forget.

Can children get work permits LOL regards Old Falang.

So about to open a SCB bank account up to 1m, any recommended ones ? I see on their site 'personal EZ savings account' is paying 1.5 % but what confuses me it also says '' Non resident 0.00%'' I am married with married extension, so am I a non resident or not for banking purposes ? Thanks.

I don't understand this, it sounds like she hasn't registered in the 'Tesssaban' where you live, as its normally no problem for Thais to change their name, it's normally a simple quick process, as stated they keep the same ID number costs about 20 baht. There is no need to mention about getting married again. I was out doing some shopping with a mate of mine, he gets a phone call from his wife, turns to me and says " I have a new wife'' ''What !'' ''she has just changed her name'' true story.

Haven't read all comments coz the solution is simple as above, but are you under 50 ?

She can change her name in 15 min, their ID number stays the same, once you are married she could change her name back again.

Undercover Agent ! jeez sounds like the KGB ????

A very well lit truck, on a lit road, she died of severe head injuries 11 pm Maybe she had been working, 11pm is not that late at 16yrs old. but seems she had no helmet on a lit road then hits a well lit truck.

Dawn is one of the worst times of day to be driving The Police are investigating if the truck was legally parked as the driver had pulled over for a sleep, going by the photo he was not and my guess is without lights on,
