  1. Yes, you can ignore this email. The 90 day email reminder system doesn't know that you re-entered Thailand.
  2. Do you currently have a permission to stay directly from a non-B visa, or did you get an extension for working?
  3. There is a video which shows that what you say is wrong.
  4. 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):
  5. They were just standing there and got hit, them being drunk or not had no effect on the accident. If you would look at the evidence you don't have to speculate.
  6. Your priorities are just different from Thais staying in these luxury condos. Driving a car through small sois is annoying, and being stuck in traffic even more. By being right next to a big road you avoid this, it can also save you quite some time every day.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Checkin at a hotel that will do a TM30, then ask for a printout of it.
  10. The foreigner is renting the place, making him the householder/possessor, so section 38 of the immigration act applies to him. The article is portraying this wrong.
  11. Most of these are optional, required fields are marked with a red * on their website. Visa type is optional.
  12. You need to pay attention to the measurements, this is not the typical guest house size. His car parking area would easily fit several cars, so turning around on his own property is no problem if there is only one or two cars.
  13. The visa field isn't even required to fill in, did you make this up yourself?
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. It's also OP's responsibility as possessor. Just write monday as arrival date on the TM30 then you certainly don't have to pay a fine. Nobody will ask anyway, but if somebody asks just say you stayed with a friend in Nong Khai in the last few days, nobody will try to confirm this.
  17. No green book means that in 99.9% of cases the bike is stolen.
  18. If the person issuing the IDP in his home country knows what they are doing the motorbike box won't be ticked.
  19. 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.
  20. A 250sqm "guest house" and you worry about where to put a laundry machine? How big is your main house, 1500sqm? You should just look at some regular houses (most houses are smaller than your planned guest house though), then you get an idea how to design the layout.
  21. 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.
  22. Somebody with a pickup comes most likely from a village, and people from a village are considered lower class than people who live in the city, so that's not surprising. In case of a foreigner with a pickup it most likely means he is married to a village woman (probably from isaan...)
  23. 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.
