Can anyone please tell me how long it takes to get the letter from Immigration (Bangkok) that you take to the LTO

 

Last time I got one from CW they told me two weeks, it arrived in just over one week.

Yeah, right, easy peasy if he has an international transfer facility on his BBL account but, as he's retired and has no work permit, that won't be likely.

I have no problem sending wires. With BKK bank. Never had a work permit.

Good for you, you must have a special arrangement with BBL to send money out of the country online.

Go to your branch and send a wire to your US bank, easy peasy

When you get your Deutche Bank set up send another wire from 

the US to Spain

Yeah, right, easy peasy if he has an international transfer facility on his BBL account but, as he's retired and has no work permit, that won't be likely.

Can't you just transfer the money to your bank account in the USA for now?

Not unless his BBL account is set up for international transfers and, if he doesn't have a work permit, it probably won't be.

I am setup for iBanking and mBanking at BKK Bank.

Your account needs to be set up to allow international transfers and that's not an automatic facility.

I've heard horror stories of people who've been caught with too much cash on them - undeclared - and all or most of their money was confiscated. What do they do if the limit is say $10K USD and you declare $25-30k?

As soon as those people prove the legitimacy of the source of the money they can get it all back.

Have you ever tried to transport more than the allowed amount via declaration? I'm not sure what that entails.

It involves proving where the cash came from.

She was doing what many people in lifts do these days, turning away from other passengers, for obvious reasons.

If she had her back to you, in order for her to spray herself, the spray would have to come in your direction.

That chances that she was being racist is next to zero and, whatever it was, it sure wasn't an assault!

Try in the UK to spray on a black person? What happens? You go to jail

Are you saying that you're black?

..can you recommend a muscle relaxant?

Sounds exactly what I suffer with if I'm not careful about getting out of seats, slouching too much,  unexpected exertion in the wrong position, etc.  I put my back out just gagging while being too enthusiastic brushing my teeth on one occasion.   

Arcoxia helps me with the pain, Myonal, a muscle relaxant, relaxes the tense muscles.   I've used both for years and they do help.   

Once I get straightened up I find that walking around helps as opposed to lying around in bed which can be a b ugger getting out of if there's no one to assist, there isn't in my case.

As others have said it should ease a little each day and in a few days it should right itself.   Good luck.

There was an article in the English language newspaper, not the Nation, that said that in Yellow classified provinces which Chiang Mai is, as from Monday, there where no more restrictions on service.

"In yellow zones, crowd activities must not gather more than 200 people. RESTAURANTS, schools, shopping centres and department stores can operate as usual. Sports facilities can open with limited spectators."

Yes, from the 21st you can have a beer in a Yellow zone restaurant. 

The Bangkok Post's infographic today specifically states that only in Dark Red, Red and Orange zones alcohol cannot be served.  The next column, for Yellow zones, specifically states that "Dine-in is allowed as usual", i.e. no alcohol restrictions are mentioned as in the other three more dangerous zones.   If alcohol was also prohibited in the Yellow zones that would have stated.

I wanted to sign up anyway because there was a big discount

 

You are saying the LTO is having a sale on the cost of a driving license?

 

How much is the  savings?

Obviously, he's not saying that, it was very clear what he was saying.

Cheapest improvement solution would be to fit a 'premium' tire. Next would be to fit a 'premium' tire with a lower profile, which would require a larger wheel.

How would the quality of a tyre reduce the way his car "rolls around at speed", something that is controlled by the suspension parts?  Tyres, "premium" or not, do not control body roll.

Thought it sounded like a good deal, makes it a bit easier looking for one than looking at all of them.   Sorry I asked.

 

It is the Riviera.

Thanks, appreciated.

friend of mine recently moved to Pattaya. He looked at condos in Jomtien. He walked into one of the nicest towers, looked at a 36th floor unit with panoramic views, and when he was quoted 28,000 a month, he offered 10,000. They settled on 13,000. He said the agent more or less admitted the building was nearly empty, and they could not rent or sell anything, at this time.

Which condo building was that?

Then how would you get the cash out of Thailand..

The money that is brought into Thailand for a condo purchase can be sent out also!

Is your tire pressure is per the specification in the door-jamb? This is the first culprit as over-inflating tires is common here. 

Incorrect tyre pressures do not cause excess body roll, the suspension does that.
