  1. Crime figures must have gone through the roof whilst they were all parading up and down. I remember being on Khaosan Road....1996?.....there was some fuss about car bombs....the police were all stood to attention in the street, about 50 of them.....when four men rounded the corner pushing a broken down car.....the police made way and let them push the car through their ranks and down Khaosan.....you couldn't write this stuff.
  2. No idea....haven"t met her....wife is 40...so under 40 I guess.
  3. Last one was rejected.....told to drive to immigration to resolve an issue (three hour round trip, not five minutes)....refused point blank and just did it by post.
  4. Hard to believe....but it is a very young lady...????
  5. Well, I hope I'm done for the next 11 months or so........but it does seem to come round quickly....5555......oh wait...b****y 90 day report to do...damn.
  6. .......maybe with this guy they could be looking at 510,001
  7. Just asked SWMBO.....and apparently in addition to all the hoops mentioned, we have to take the head of our village to the Amphur....???
  8. Think I"ll stick with the yellow book....if I end up doing anything.
  9. .........don"t forget, your average Thai have to suffer the same as us.....the MIL had to drive for three hours last week to fill in a form to claim some money....some kind of welfare.....ludicrous.
  10. Yes that was my fault for not listening to the wife.
  11. All I can think as an argument against that is that it is due to their total, undying love of paperwork and convoluted procedures.....in triplicate....... and we just happen to be the victims
  12. Someone might have answered already....but I read it was a car financier (second hand car dealer?)...said he was thrilled to be able to help.
  13. I think you are correct.....but until the wife had 'our' house built (without telling me) we have always rented or lived in hotels.
  14. I have no idea what evidence we presented before.....I guess it was based on the extension application....but you could put any address for that.....assuming they don't visit to check.
  15. The TV market is cut throat and innovations abound......as a consequence once the novelty value of an innovation has worn off deflation is the name of the game....hard to imagine what the next step-change might be.
  16. I think we were living in BKK at the time and it came back in a day or two....no idea what we paid.....and we never used it....covid hit, then the passport ran out...!!!!
  17. I've often wondered about those amazing tailor's shops all over BKK....prime spots, all decked out in marble......never seen a single customer.....are they all laundering money?
  18. I had my old passport done by, or through, a little office on Sukhumvit soi 13....... near the Trendy Building......
  19. I reckon if the Thais want to go ahead with this they should contract the Las Vegas and Macau mafia to run the casinos....they know exactly how to control and manage everything.
  20. Yes..... that is probably down to me not paying attention to what the wife is telling me.....yellow book here we come.....
  21. My worst one was like two days...six hours of driving.....we had to take three sets of neighbours to be interviewed before a they would issue a marriage extension.....and we had been married for 14 years...????
  22. My first one was for my licence....took five minutes.
