Incomprehensible stupidity.

Thai male. Nuff' said.

Hi so this hot weather has got the missus grumbling. We need an AC in the living room.

We need 24,000 BTU. We live Klong Sam Wa. I don't want to buy from HomePro.

Does anyone know a good brand - so many to choose from! Samsung? LG? Mitsubishi? Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know a good place to buy from (with installation) near where we live?

Thank you for your help!

Cheers. J

In Thailand? No. Here people care for one thing only.

Let me tell you a quick story..... 

 

I have lived in Thailand for a long time.

I was married in the early 1990s at age 25 to a Thai girl, a lawyer (one yr younger than me), with degrees and a nice family. Thought I was set for life.

But she was a nightmare - and we divorced 12 years later (in December 2005).

I married another Thai girl in 2007. She was a bar girl from Central Pattaya Road, opposite where Tops used to be.  She is 12 yrs younger than me.

We have lived together (in BKK) since 2007 and have two beautiful kids. And (generally) we have a very happy life (I work in BKK).

Yes, we have ups and downs, of course we do. But I am way way more happier than I was with my life with my ex-wife 'good girl' lawyer.

My bar girl wife is not perfect but she is hardworking, generally honest and most importantly, very loyal and loving towards me.

My 'good girl' ex-wife was lazy, only devoted to her family, and didn't give a shit about me.

 

So, yes, I'd say give it a go.

Unsure why they would "interrogate" the Brit before deciding on charges. God knows they wouldn't do that if the stabbing was the other way round

Indeed. Just imagine if this was the other way round!

Just hope the children manage to be protected from the all bad karma of their parents.

God bless the two children.

The bottom line is no one knows how much anyone can drink safely. In my book moderation is good.

Need to get a five-year licence. I did the two-year in Pattaya, can I do the five-year in Bangkok?

Also. Please, does any one know: how long after a two-year licence has expired can you upgrade to a five-year licence?

My two-year licence expired in February (I've been away for work).

Please kindly advise! Thank you!

Thanks, Ubonjoe. I have done some 90 days reports at CW Immigration, but I'm often travelling for work so haven't done many - Does that matter?

You have to of done at least one 90 day report to them.

 

I also need to get the proof of residency. Can anyone tell me what documents are required to do this at Chaeng Wattana Immigration?

Thank you!

Ubonjoe, just wondering where else is it possible to get a certificate of residency in Bangkok. At CW Immigration? Getting something like this from the UK embassy is a nightmare so need an option. Thanks for your help!

Hello. I think I need an Affirmation of residency letter from the UK Embassy. I need to renew my 2-yr driving licence (which has expired by six weeks). I'm from the UK, aged 50, and hold one-yr extension based on marriage.

I have a couple of questions..,

1. Does anyone know if the Affirmation of residency letter is definately needed to renew the driving licence (Please note, I didn't use one to get the original 2-yr licence from Pattaya Land Transport)

2. If the above is definately needed, can I get the Affirmation of residency letter from Pattaya immigration?? I have lived in Bangkok for the past two years (but used to live in Pattaya). The reason I ask is that UK Bangkok embassy has no available slots to attend the required meeting to obtain the letter (their next 'available' slot is at the end of May!)

Any comments would be helpful. Thanks. J

If on a tourist visa you can only get a 2 year driving licence. I needed doctor cert, res cert, copies of passport. If you are getting 2 licences, you need 2 copies of everything

No, I have non-imm one year extension

Hello. My two-year driving licence has expired (about six weeks ago). At Pattaya, can I apply for a new five-year driving licence or must I start again with another temporary licence? Does anyone know?

If so, what documents might I need? Will I need any immigration letter from the UK embassy? (I have a UK driving licence.)

Thank you!!

Hello. Can someone please advise (have tried looking for this info but cannot find).....

I've been working abroad and my two-year driving licence has expired (about six weeks ago).

I will go to renew at Pattaya in April after Songkran. Can I apply for a five-year driving licence or must I start again with a temporary licence?

What documents will I need?

When I got the temporary licence two years ago I did not show any immigration letter from the UK embassy, is that now required?

(Just to add, I also have a UK driving licence.)

Any advise much appreciated! Thank you!!

They never have been popular

Yes. Wife has credit card. But she only uses it for fuel for the car. Always tells me when she plans to use it. And looking at the statements, she’s never lied once.
