  1. So go do the same as you? At least I take some satisfaction from the fact that you are annoyed.
  2. Just a question from a relative outsider: do you dump your garbage here 24/7? At least it looks like there's not a minute of rest behind it. Take a break!
  3. Yes, I remember this. It was inevitable to do as a country in between others that have right-sided driving. As opposed to wrong-sided 😉
  4. Then please say nothing.
  5. For bank: you can do it one day earlier if necessary, but make a small withdrawal from an ATM the same day and keep the printed slip. It has date and balance and in my case has always been accepted together with the bank letter. Twelve months by the way.
  6. There is a medical center in Hua hin that is exclusively GP primary care. BeWell.
  7. Since 2007 I have been going to a dentist with a small practice, very gentle hands, very good explanation, never over-treats and has visiting specialists for endodontology and implants. I had quite a bit work done over the years. No one else to work in my mouth. Pornsak Dental Clinic. Sukhumvit soi 49 Bangkok.
  8. Completely agree. I never told them I was married and just go for my previous extension. So unless 800k is a problem as opposed to 400k leave everything in place and don't stir things up.
  9. Very instructive video. Great camerawork and detail....
  10. I don't know about Thailand but in Europe they issue three different models of international driving licenses. 1949 and 1968 if I am not mistaken, the older one only works for Somalia or so. Japan is 1949 model, but e.g. Korea 1968.
  11. A gift is a gift, whatever the wife does with it. And there is no obligation to give anything in return.
  12. Our money, or at least part of it is in a bank account in my wife's name. I have full control and a credit card for this account, so I can almost use it as my own. I transfer from Europe to this account with Wise. There is this wonderful rule: If the value of the gift does not exceed 10 million Thai Baht (THB), the receiver does not have to pay personal income tax for the received property. So the money is a gift to my wife. I can manage to keep my spending under 10M baht per year.
  13. Thai wife (many years already), weather, food, quality of life that I cannot get in Europe for that price. And for now also a sense of safety with mr. P. from M. rattling at the doors.
  14. They love copies of everything. The more paper the better. Ever noticed the stack of forms that piles up over the day at any office?
  15. I use Agoda a lot (for hotels) and am very happy how they handle changes, refunds etc even during Covid time.
  16. Are you serious? Offering a choice after murdering his most strong opposer (Navalny) and locking up the rest?
  17. VISA alerted me that my card had been wrongfully used before I even noticed myself. They canceled the card, sent me a new one and refunded the money (around 100 euros). It was used for Uber in Dubai. Credit cards are skimmed all the time and the details are for sale on the dark web. We all know about this, but card companies have fraud detection in place and know how to deal with this. Just relax, no need to get so worked up about this.
  18. In a soi off Sukhumvit Road at Phloen Chit BTS (south side), about 20 meters into the soi, on the right side, just past the security barrier is a shop where they make the photos as required by the Dutch Embassy. Go up the stairs.
  19. The shop I recommend makes the photos for the Dutch Embassy all the time and they also know the exact requirements for any other country. Very professional guy.
  20. PS I recommend that you choose express service for your passport. It costs only about 10 euros more and you will have it in about 5 days. A small extra on the total price of the passport.
