A point to note is that Life Certificate forms were not issued at regular 1 year intervals. Sometimes they were sent after 18 months or 2 years + . A widow I assisted and who received Widowed Parents Allowance actually received 2 in 1 year!!!

Of late passport renewal is taking up to 11 weeks, whilst standard visitor visas for wives and partners are taking considerably longer than the indicated 15 working days.

Can the Embassy put pressure on tjhose involved in the UK to speed up the process.  Especially with passports, many expats are finding their passports have expired before the new one is returned causing havoc with Imigration depts

That loophole changed in 2015 when even wholesale purchases during these hours were stopped.

Get an alcohol licence from your local amphur  (330bt) and then you can buy 10+litres of alcohol at Makro at any time they are open (apart from specific no booze days).       

No respnse to my email to K bank, but today the detail of transactions re-appeared on my online statement on my PC ????

Wouldn't be quite so bad if they said "Thank You" when people made donations!

I am looking on my PC. Deposits and credits showing, but not details (ie who from, to whom paid)

I just requested a statement, which has  quickly arrived, and all detail is showing. Strange that it does not show up on my PC as previously

I am looking on my PC. Deposits and credits showing, but not details (ie who from, to whom paid)

Since last month it is now necessary to download a statement instead of being able to view  transactions.

Now since yesterday, all the detail regarding transactions is no longer being shown.

Have contacted K bank to no avail as yet  Any ideas?

My cat has been quite active of late catching a few small  mice

Thanks for your feedback. Looks like mice is the answer. Will somehow have to thread a new cable from the circuit board to where the junction box is likely to be in the kitchen.

My kitchen extension has 4 fluorescent lights and 2 double power sockets - one circuit 30 amp breaker.  Been there probably 8/9 years..All cabling hidden above the ceiling

In the past few days power has stopped for an hour or 2, then comes back on and goes off again a couple hours later.

If I switch the lights off, they do not come back on for another hour or 2

If lights are off, sometimes when I turn on, they light for a second and then go off. Power to the sockets is lost too.

I have replaced the breaker to no avail.

Any ideas?
 

Advised Wednesday at 4pm. by VFS that renewed British passport back.  Can only collect Mon.Wed and Fri between 2-3pm   What total nonsense!!!!

Heard this morning that earliest appointment for applying for a British passport is now early December!!!!!!!!!!!

HMPO UK have problems, but cannot understand why VFS  cannot get their act together.  Add 4 weeks to HMPO 11 weeks and that makes 15, well beyond Immigration,s requirement for 90 day reporting.  Forget online reporting in most parts of Isan! Also plays havoc for many farangs who need to extend their permission to stay!

Don't expect Immigration or the British Embassy to be sympathetic and assist!

They don't. 

 

You can always enter the UK as a British citizen, even with an expired passport.

What about a Thai with dual British/Thai nationality. Whilst as you say they can enter the UK with an expired British passport, what problems would they encounter at the Thai airport when leaving on their valid Thai passsport, since the British passport which would ordinarily suffice instead of a visa has expired? I can imagine that would cause considerable confusion with some airlines.

Great news. I have a 300km journey planned for Monday 1st. Be good to have many trucks off the highways- most of whom stick rigidly to the outside lanes of dual carriageways!

My Kasikorn "Shopping Card" had some 67baht debited 3 weeks ago. A scam outfit in the US.  coolgames4u.com

I have since changed the daily limit on the card to zero, and only activate it when I need to make a payment

Don't know where you are Mommysboy, but I had a first Pfizer shot in Khon Kaen last Sunday, and am lined up for No 2 on 1st Nov at Bangkok Hospital Khon Kaen  Arranged by the British chamber of commerce (Thailand)  Also worth noting is that Buriram hospital are vaccinating teenagers this week.

If your hospital messed up, and either Buriram or Khon Kaen are convenient to you, I am sure they could pull a few strings to get you your second vaccine.
