I have a Desperate Dan chin and also partial to cow pie..... Over a year back now, the hospital Doc put me on the anti-coagulants. The NHS in UK advise you to take up using an electric razor for shaving. Good advice , as nick yourself with a blade and you have a blood bath on your hands .... I bought a reasonable Phillips shaver from Lazada. It takes off the stubble but not as good as the wet shave. Two shaves a day are required........

They are on Line and FB messenger. I use their services and I have a heart condition. No need to physically attend their office. Start comms with them, they are very good.....

Buy a Toyota.....

Let me guess ...there all on sport.....

Agree with the Kasikorn suggestions. They don't ask too many questions......

its a she, but, but. Looker too.....

What's illegal???, my agent assures me everything is just fine. You can do everything by the Line App now. No need to even visit the office or immigration. Still require a couple of photos/ bank book and passport sent by post. Long may it continue.... I'll keep my 800K elsewhere thx.

long way to travel to get your money then! No Thai banking involvement at all??

reminds me when I asked a well dressed girl who was dining with an elderly gentleman if he was her boyfriend. No she said, 'he just customer, boyfriend come from England next week'.........

Why build two kitchens?. Never understood that as it was told frequently to me when I arrived here . Built two houses one in 2007 and second one in 2010, both just one kitchen. My wife cooks her fair share of stinky food and likes to eat fish a lot. I bought her a sturdy BBQ and she cooks out in the fresh air......

Just got one in the post and so did another Brit I know get one too. He got his state pension in May last year and myself in August. Both young OAPS's 55. I will get the manager of our local Bangkok Bank to sign the witness form. Don't know any teachers......

https://paultan.org/2022/08/09/2023-toyota-vios-debuts-in-thailand/ OP is asking about the new Yaris Ativ which is replacing the Vios here. I have the old model bought in 2018, good cheap motor to run and get serviced anywhere, unlike Honda's

'Foreign passport holder' is the new phrase in town. Brought in so as not to upset the 'I live here , married a farm girl, gave her everything' brigade who quite possibly make up the bulk of forum membership.........

We had a ISOC personnel at our golf club a few weeks back. Its on an Army base - 36th Military Circle... Looked like the type of bods you don't mess with.......

you seem to have a lot of time on your hands, maybe drop an email to all the Immigration Offices informing them of the rule change. You can add Phetchabun to your list of rogue offices. Still 1600 Baht fine for not doing a TM30 on return to your residence after an overseas trip.

Infantry Training Centre is at Catterick Garrison. Grunts are still the bulk of the Army I believe........

Real colonials wear KD when going out. My Big C and PM drinks rig. NB: bought six Chinese Army shirts from Lazada and just rotate them, Shorts, good old M &S and just replenish on UK visits........Standards old boy

keeping one step ahead of my young, high spending wife is all the excitement I need........

I'm in UK at the moment but will be flying into Thailand next week. I was looking at the mobile app and noticed there is a space for TM6 number. As they are suspended at the moment will this make any difference to your application? I live in a province where Immigration still insist on reporting within 24 hours of arrival at your residence. I have had previous with the IO's on this.....

Kenny hopefully I can provide some suggestions and advice on your baking woes. Keep your yeast in a container/plastic bag in the fridge once you have opened a new packet. Modern yeasts are quite powerful now, with the British company "Allison Easy bake yeast" you can get away with just one rise. Mix, shape , proof, bake. Unless you have UK buddies who can get you that we are all stuck with the made in Vietnam stuff over here which is all good too. Have a look at your water content in your recipe, if it is a very slack dough and you are not an expert shaper they will spread out before going in the oven. Baking tins, and plastic round bowls are good items for keeping a bread in shape. For fermentation time, watch the bread dough as it rises, in the temps here it will do that quickly. I keep my doughs covered in plastic bags for about 1 hour, give the dough a quick stretch and fold and put them in the fridge for about 1 hour. This keeps the bread dough quite cool, you don't really want dough over 25c. Those internal temp gauges are good for this. Bench rest/pre shape and a quick rest before final shaping and again with the temps here a second rise for 45 mins to 1 hour. Again watch the dough, that's the secret with baking.... The poke test is still a good test to see if the bread is about ready for the oven. Oven temperatures for baking bread is a hugely debatable topic, along with steam for ovens etc. I like to get the oven at a very hot temp 220C/230c. Spray the loaves with water and in oven at that temp for 5mins or so. This gives a really good oven spring. When you see the loaves almost doubling in size, you know you've cracked it. Lower the temp to about 190c and bake to done. If in tins I take them out just to get them baked all round. In the bakery I worked in we never had those bright shiny tins. All the trays and tins were black metal types. The meisterchef said the shiny ones reflect heat and the bread takes to long to bake.... <deleted>, but bakers have many such secrets and rarely give much away in advice...

oldgit has edited his post accordingly. He originally said NHS number and I queried if he meant to write that....... end of. Ancient history now...

you need to visit spec savers..... read my post again.... slowly

Old Git, is that a typo error?? National Insurance number, surely.... NHS is for hospital treatment.

That was the case at our IO. Only takes a few new up starts posted in and voila ABC kicks in. Fee now 500B and our office still insists on new TM30 when re-entry here and arrive back home.... Phetch....
