I transferred $10k AUD at 10:30 am today - in my Kasikorn account at 4pm this afternoon - no complaints from me.

Since I have started transferring to Kasikorn (rather than Krungsri) is mostly same day. Was 2 to 5 days with Krungsri if a weekend or holiday got in the way.

I have never noticed any difference due to ‘time of the month’ with my money transfers. Marked difference with other people in my household however. 

Have you considered amputation of affected thumb?

We bought a new PCX a few weeks ago.

Wife is very happy with it.       Feels a bit lifeless to me , but at 95kg & also being used to Big bikes - I suppose that is understandable. 

It is comfortable to ride, both 1 or 2 up. 

Nice review!

SWAT officers don’t use guns or batons - apparently will subdue criminals with shock absorbers.

Bugga!   Check for blocked drains in the cowl behind the bonnet - leaves often the culprit there.

to dry the interior - will need to remove carpets, probably requiring removal of the front seats as well, and remove the underfelt and dry this completely.  If not dried properly , the car will become an unpleasant place to be, with a strong mouldy/musty smell after being locked up for any period.

Kanchanaburi - bucket loads of the wet stuff today , 2 days ago and a week before that. More forecast for next 5 days. 

Definitely an early ‘break’ here.

I am sorry - but this thread still seems suss to me.

Top floor condo.   2 cars damaged downstairs after a bit of wind. (Pardon me)

One key document....   Proof of Address...

 

This comes in the form off any of the following: 

- Affirmation of Residence letter (from Embassy)

- Certificate of Residence / Address (from Immigration)

- Yellow Tabien Baan house book

 

Simple method. 

Pay cash for the vehicle / bike.

Give the dealer your Proof of ID and Address document - they do the rest. 

 

 

Exactly what you need.   

BUT.  This could be difficult because you only have 90 Day Visa. You obviously will not have Yellow Tabien Bahn house book.

Immigration will not give you a Certificate of Residence unless you have done at least one 90 day report.

Not all Embassies will provide an Affirmation of Residence letter - I know that neither the Australian or German  Consulates will do them. Hopefully you are from somewhere else and your Embassy can help you. 

Good Luck ????

Trouble is they all watch too much Thai 'soap' series garbage where shouting, screaming, attacking and shooting each other is a thing they believe is actual reality!!! ????????????????????????????????

This can’t be the reason.   All those Brits & Aussies watching Midsomer Murders or similar programs do not think that is reality. Nobody is that impressionable or gullible.

No Italian style restaurants near me.   Had a craving for Lasagne recently - so bought a frozen 'heat at home' job from Tops Supermarket.  When 'cooked' it was vaguely reminiscent of calf diarrhoea - and its flavour was not far off either!   If you do find a decent venue for a classic lasagna - please let us know where to go to quell my cravings! 

I think that these re-enactments are to show the public that the Boys In Brown actually do something..

Don’t think too much!

Expensive cars are not a problem in Thailand - and in my experience not Police magnets (911). I have never had any police issues here.

Driving in Thailand is fine , but if I was planning on spending all of my time around Pattaya - an expensive car would be ok - just not a sports car.

Not a particularly experienced one it would appear.

Apparently   

I am in awe of your vast knowledge, your open mindedness, your respect and humility. 

Are you able to ship? Kerry? 

I live near Kanchanaburi, and have a few Avocado in already (Reed & Lamb-Haas) - but I may be pushing scheisen up hill here - because it gets so hot here.  I would welcome your thoughts.

You are free to believe what you want,  we will stick with what the vets tell us.

FYI.  I am a Veterinarian.  Graduated 1983 - retired after 37 years of practice. I do have some idea what I am talking about .  You , your tame vets, and your 60 feral cats can believe what you want.

Incidentally - if you are so sure of this - feel free to explain the moral and ethical decision you are making to perpetuate this locus of rabies infection in your 'feral carrier cats'. 

Sid James.    Your link confirms what I have been saying about rabies in cats.

They become infected , and will eventually die.

They do not become (asymptomatic) ‘carriers’ as has been suggested by .sandyf

I actually nearly drove into the back of a truck because of those tints. It was an unlit road, and the truck had small tail lights that were barely visible  - a combination of hardly working plus they were dirty. It was going up a hill and barely moving, probably 10 km/hr at best. We approached it at 70 km/hr I guess, not really sure, and suddenly there it was right in front of us. Jammed on the brakes, thank god for ABS and a dry road, and we stopped millimetres before the back of it. A small miracle. Even that was not enough for my wife (who was in the car also) to get those dark tints removed and replaced by something lighter. From that point on, I drive slowly at night unless it is extremely well lit and there are other cars around as well so their headlights are a guide as well

I feel your pain . I have had the same issues , but normally with slow moving motorcycles or motorcycles with side cars. These invariably have no tail lights.

I will never have tint on my windscreen again.  

Tint is good to help keep car cool & to maintain anonymity from others road users - but make sure you can see through them windscreen for night driving!

You are wrong, cats can carry a virus and many do and throughout their life. I am talking about feral cats, bit of a different situation to domestic.

We have had cats born with a virus and then died of old age.

My wife and her sister handle around 60 feral cats on a daily basis, they have had more than enough advice from medics on the risks involved.

No. Sorry.  You are wrong.

Cats do NOT 'carry' Rabies virus - a Lyssavirus

Cats however can be infected with other viruses - eg FIV , or Coronavirus and not show signs for many years.  They harbour bacteria , like Pseudomonas, in their mouth - which can cause infections to critters or people they bite.

What many do not realise is that there is more rabies among cats than dogs, it is just that cats normally carry the virus rather than becoming sick like dogs.

Not actually correct.   Cats become symptomatic just like any other mammal - however the time from becoming infected to showing clinical signs can vary greatly (in any species).  Cats do not 'carry' the virus.
