  1. Some book shops and others have booklets for sale, not expensive with the driving test / signs explanations etc., good luck to the lady.
  2. Maybe on auto deduction from bank payment system, bank account not yet depleted...
  3. One more time and I'll frame it as a complaint from society(however some Thai folks don't see the generals actions as a serious crime). Why Because in the tenure of the generals there was relative calm on the streets in the view of many Thais. No I won't be engaging you on this point. Yes the generals should be charged, tried and punished, but I cannot personally do that, maybe you can??? Bye.
  4. And you obviously haven't read the response I've given numerous times to your point, which you have submitted more times than one can count. One last time: Yes the generals should be charged tried and punished.
  5. This is an important point. You mention 'villa'. My understanding is that this means land and house. Therefore the owner (as stated n the back of the land title - the chanut) can only be a Thai national. Using a usufruct doesn't mean that the land title (the chanut) will / can show your name as the owner. A usufruct is a document added to the chanut, the usufruct must authorised by the owner of the property (a Thai national) and it gives some rights to another foreigner . I will us me situation as an example: - The house (house and land) where I live is owned by my Thai adult son. His name (only his name) appears on the back of the chanut as the owner. -My son added a usufruct showing: I have the right to live in the house until I die. The usufruct obviously shows my full details, passport number etc. I must sign to approve my son or anybody selling the house and land. I am the only person who can cancel the usufruct. Son cannot cancel it without my signature to cancel. Family lawyer (in Chiang Mai) took a document showing the 3 points just above (in Thai and in English) to the CM land title office, she spoke to the land office manager who agreed that a usufruct stating the above is totally level and agreed to create / process a usufruct as above. A few days later all done.
  6. Why? 'De facto party boss-cum-convict on parole' is an accurate title. He committed real / serious crimes and was convicted and sentenced to jail. It wasn't a kangaroo court in any way.
  7. How can anybody give advice (but the advice should be from a divorce lawyer, not a community web board). Where is your wife located and what is her nationality. Have you been living apart / in different countries for the 11 years you mentioned?
  8. I had issues with NAB when I returned to Oz, I went into an NAB branch, said I wanted to open an account. Less than helpful, not welcoming in any way, never any clear explanations, ATM issues. I moved on.
  9. Agree. If you have a live sim card for the other country, insert that sim card then try the transaction. I was in Australia for a while I kept live sim cards for both LOS (AI) and my Oz tel. provider. I swapped cards in my phone as needed, got the OTP every time. But when I decided to return to LOS permanently I called my bank in Oz and asked how can I keep in contact* with the Oz bank and get OTPs? * The aussie bank needs at OTP to get into their website / open my account details. The Oz bank call centre said 'we can arrange that' and they asked me for the full address of where I would be living in Thailand and my full telephone number in LOS incl. county code etc. Call center man said 'this will need approval from a supervisor, should be all working in 24 hrs. A few days later I was back in LOS, I tried to pay a bill in Oz using the Oz bank account, instantly I got a message 'click on the country where you are right now' I clicked on Thailand, then 2 security questions then I got a drop down OTP code on my phone (phone connected to AIS). inserted the OTP code and all working.
  10. I'm aware of hot boys from Bkk gay massage parlours also being lured to the ME and making big money. Same in China and in Macau, many Thai boys. Heard of one expensive venue in Dubai and gambling hotel in Macau which organizes gay sex shows in guests rooms.
  11. An ongoing issue for Thai Uni's for many reasons. I lectured bachelor, masters degrees and coached doctoral students for many years at several Thai unis. - Bachelor degrees - no theses needed. - Masters - thesis needed but no structured quality / grading methodology in place. - Doctoral - thesis needed, grading not well structured. Three years back I got an e.mail from a lady who claimed to be the 'registrar' for all thesis submissions for her uni (name of uni not mentioned). She asked me to correct the several thesis documents attached to her e.mail so that they would pass with a high grade and on receiving a pass and high grade she would transfer 250Baht to me for each thesis paper. She mentioned that each student had paid a 3,000Baht 'fee' to register their thesis with the uni. She claimed this is required by law. I checked - there is no such law. I read each thesis paper, none were anywhere near acceptable, contained no research and no insight whatever, let alone be suitable to put to a committee. I ran the 3 attached thesis papers through a plagiarism app. All three were stolen. none had 'passed'. I shared the above with the 'registration' lady. She responded that I had no right to make such comments and tried to insist that I change / add more detail so that each paper would be acceptable and would get a high grading. (Reality is that 'acceptable - meaning pass, and high grade is up to the committee of each uni.) I responded that if i did change / add then the work would not be original work from the actual student therefore I would not do it. She responded that I was too serious. I also asked her if she really expected any person to do such an exercise for 250Baht. She responded that I was stingy and should do it free. I responded by asking how many Baht she personally pocketed when each student paid the 3,000Baht fee and I requested a copy of the receipt with the uni logo for each 3,000Baht fee paid by each student. She never replied.
  12. Have a look at the numerous Thai TV channels which feature many driving incidents / accidents, o farang atall, only Thai folks.
  13. Because she's got the degree doesn't mean an instant / good job.
  14. Think it's May. But waiting to see what new games / twists have been invented.
  15. Maybe the PM could take his children / grandchildren and all the kids could play together. Under grandfather taksin's expert supervision of course.
  16. Your priority is to build and protect democracy without corruption and without games across parties.
  17. And around that time trump goes to jail and all his assets liquidated to pay his fines.
