Changing Schools, Changing Visa?
FriendlyFarang replied to Robbkk's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Do you currently have a permission to stay directly from a non-B visa, or did you get an extension for working? -
What else does she bring to the table? What's her monthly income? Does she have a house or land? A car? If the answer to all of this is "none", then maybe 50k? 100k if you want to be generous. But taking into account that you are most likely a Farang, she (or her family...) will probably tell you that you have to pay at least 1 million, which is of course nuts. Here a similar topic from my experience (still not married):

Without facts? There is a video in the linked article showing exactly what happened. They were waiting on the middle line of the road to let traffic from the left pass. While standing there they were hit by the car coming from the right. The car also drove on the wrong side of the road, so would be surprising if the driver wasn't drunk.

Extra class after school possible?
FriendlyFarang replied to Joe32's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You could just open another bank account. Does your regular teaching job pay you over 80k baht per month to be over the threshold for PR? You probably can't declare illegally earned money from your side gigs to add to the 80k requirement. The only way to do it legally is if the parents pay the school and the school pays you, or you would need to have your own company and bill the parents through this. -
Free wi-fi in arrivals hall / at baggage claim?
FriendlyFarang replied to mstevens's topic in Suvarnabhumi Airport Forum
Yes, they have free wifi, and for me it has been working in the past, sometimes quite slow, but good enough to send a message to let her know that you arrived.- 1 reply

Definitely Germany, and I assume basically every other country as well. If the motorbike box on the IDP is checked it implies that the holder my ride any size of motorbike. If OP may only ride bikes up to 125cc in the UK, why should he be allowed to ride a 1000cc bike abroad?
-
No green book means that in 99.9% of cases the bike is stolen.
-
If the person issuing the IDP in his home country knows what they are doing the motorbike box won't be ticked.

I've experienced everything from nothing (my word was good enough for the landlord) over a few thousand baht, to one month of rent to guarantee the lease. Considering that you want him to keep the room empty for a whole month I think it's reasonable of him to demand a month rent as guarantee, but if you offer him half he might as well accept it. Upon moving in you pay 2 months deposit and one month rent in advance, minus whatever you gave him as guarantee. Maybe there are some landlords who would accept one month deposit as another poster here claims, but from my experience they want two. You could still break a window, or damage the walls etc. I rent a warehouse, bare walls, no windows, even there I had to pay a month deposit. But mostly it's to cover outstanding electricity or water costs in case the tenants makes a runner.

Online Report . Room number.
FriendlyFarang replied to DrJack54's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your house (condo) number is then actually "4/212", so in case of the 90 day report, or extension, or anything else official, that's what you put on the form. -

Just because they accepted it 4 times doesn't make it right. They want the address in the official format, as I described above, or also explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_addressing_system You can also just look in the house book, that's how they want it, no additional stuff added by yourself.
