The washing machine in my rented condo needs replacement and the owner asked me to buy a new one, up to 20,000 baht and deduct it from my rent. I was happy with my old one, which was a Siemens front loader with temperature settings up to 90 degrees. Any suggestions for a new one? The Siemens is no longer available and the few other Siemens models I see online are quite expensive. I would be happy to spend closer to 10,000 baht to keep the owner happy. She has been good about everything over the years. Thanks.

Think harder! It wasn't that long ago.

Anyone have a recommendation for a physical therapist for shoulder issues? I need some fairly specific and experienced guidance on stretches and exercises for recovering from "frozen shoulder". I have heard great things about Ajarn Noi at Chiang Moi Physiotherapy and planned on seeing her on this trip, but she is taking a break for now. Thanks.

I am resurrecting this ancient thread because I happened upon an elephant brand leather wallet of the sort I used to buy years ago. There is a vendor at the Sunday market in Chiang Mai selling them. I paid 200 baht each without much bargaining. After ten years I'm back in the faux elephant skin wallet game!

They have cleverly designed the system so that when the online submission is rejected it's too late to mail it in. And they only return my photocopies every 3rd or 4th time. Frankly, I am starting to think they just don't care about my minor inconveniences.

Thanks.

Thanks. Oh well, I guess I'll have to add the residency certificate to the list of minor bureaucratic annoyances that are part of the experience of living here. ????

All pages on my old work permit book are stamped so I was told I need a new work permit next renewal in Bangkok. I like having the book with my address in it as it substituted for the residency certificate whenever needed. Is the only option for the new work permit the kind without an address? Or can I request a book with address? Thanks.

Anyone know where I can get a key card copied? The juristic office wants 500 baht for an extra card. I have had copies made in Bangkok for a different condo for 150 baht. However, the key card I want to copy in Chiang Mai opens both the common area doors and the condo room door, so maybe it's more complicated then a key card that only opens the common area doors.

Looks like I have a few hours to kill here at Changwattana immigration now. Anybody know if there's a foot massage place here somewhere? Thanks.

I just booked a 700 baht flight from Chiang Mai to BKK. Then I checked and saw that it has horrible reviews and ratings, at least in Vietnam. Just curious, has anyone used it to Bangkok? Any problems?
