Thanks for sharing all.

It is a hypothetical question, you are spot on!

Why do they look on you with extra suspicion?

I'm not doing anything yet, it was a hypothetical question as I couldn't see any limits on voluntary income anywhere.

Yep, but I think for some visa types you can change within Thailand, others you cannot.

So there is no specific income ceiling so 50,000baht per month income can be on a volunteer visa? I would have thought it would have to be a working visa at such income levels.

Is there a restriction on income levels for a non-immigrant O volunteer visa in Thailand? I understand that you are not allowed to receive a salary and the income should be to cover accommodation, food, and other small expenses. I couldn't see a guideline anywhere. Obviously, accommodation costs can vary greatly so I was wondering at what point approximately, would income levels for a volunteer with a working permit, working for a foundation, become a working non-immigrant-B visa in terms of income levels if that makes sense. LOL could be a bit like how long is a piece of string.

Thanks everyone, I guess replacement is the way forward for this type of item.

There are so many repairs places for electronics,shoes, fans, etc, but is there anywhere that fixes car struts for car boots/trunks? I prefer fixing things rather than throwing away like I we often do in the West. One of the good things about Thailand. In England repairs often cost more than replacements. Thanks in anticipation.

Has anyone done this recently?

Which temple as Google maps doesn't seem to be able to locate San Sai Noi road. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a mechanic who has experience fixing Miras? I got one recommendation but the place looked like it had been closed for some time. Thanks in advance

Yes, as I stated in my original post, this is a person with a Thai and a UK passport leaving England for Thailand, and returning later before the UK passport expires. They have done this several times before and I am aware of the procedure. It is just the under 6 month validity in the UK passport that I wanted to make sure would not cause a problem in this scenario. From my understanding and indeed my own logic, it should be fine. Sadly, people don't always act logically. I know that you can return to your home country with an expired passport as well.

I am not confusing myself, I am seeking confirmation that the scenario I described would be ok for a person who has a Thai and British passport with the latter having less than 6 months left. I know which passports are shown but I thought the airlines might still refuse if they see the British passport had less than 6 months validity, even though to me that would not make sense as the person has a Thai passport going to Thailand. Of course the arrival into England at immigration is with the UK passport and also to depart. The Thai passport is shown and check-in. Likewise the Thai passport is used to enter and depart Thailand. As for a) above, I am aware of this but I was more worried about the departure from the UK being an issue with staff, even though it should not. Regarding b) Yes, it it is the airline staff who check both passports in the UK upon check-in and the immigration staff at departure. Thanks

It does according to the UK government website...

OMG so sad and what a loss. My thoughts are with his family and friends. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped me. RIP.

@ubonjoe maybe you in your wisdom can help on this. Thanks in advance as always.

So, you are saying in the exact circumstances I have described, that there is no issue even though they entered the UK on their UK passport? I such an instance won't why depart England on their UK Passport? In which case, is it their UK passport that is checked for this 6 month rule or the destination country, in which case of the person has citizenship, like in this case, it would not matter as they are legally entitled to enter Thailand on their Thai passport.. Also,upon return to the UK, on a passport less than 6 months its still ok as they are also a UK citizen, of that makes sense?

Yes, and the same here but imam talking specifically about UK and Thai passport holders and UK passport holders leaving the UK with elss than 6 months so your contribution isn't relevant to this specific question.. I understand that UK passport holders can travel to America with an expiry date of less than 2 weeks so long as their return ticket is befoee their UK passport expires.. However, the USA rules are quite different to Thailand and thw UK, hence the very specific question....

When I said less than 6 months it is less than 2.months. Regardless, the question is still a valid one.

I am not sure where to post this as there is a Thailand travel forum but this relates to international travel between the UK and Thailand. UK citizens are required to have more than 6 months left on their passport when traveling to certain countries, one of which is Thailand. I believe if UK citizens have less than 6 months left on their passport at the time of their departure from the UK, then they may be denied departure depending on what country the are visiting. For Thailand, this is 6 months... However, what happens if the person is a dual citizen of the UK and Thailand and their UK passport of say 3 months months but they have a valid Thai passport and they are planning to return to the UK before the expiry of their UK passport. I such a situation, would the said person be refused travel from the UK? To me, they should not as they have a valid Thai passport and a right to live in Thailand. As for returning,I understand that all UK citizens are allowed to return to the UK even on an expired passport. Hence, the question is... Is there any legal reason why in this scenario someone would not be allowed to travel to Thailand? Hopefully, some other TV members have experience in this as I have googled it but not found a clear answer. I do intend to call the British and Thai Embassies to check, but wanted to put it out here to the TV experts first. Thanks in advance.

Badly need rain and nothing forecast for about the next week or so..... 😞

Thanks for all the responses, I will try some out for sure. Maybe I wasn't clear so apologies but I wanted baguettes, etc from a bakery not readymade or eating at a cafe. I might not be able to make tortilla's but I can make my own baguette sandwich if I have the baguette of course! 😉 Now, where should I go today..... mmm

Way too many, shows a lack of business ideas by most people. Some, sorry many I see are empty most of the time.

Does anyone know where to buy fresh flour wraps in Chiang Mai please? I don't recall seeing any in the bakeries I have been to. Secondly, any recommendations on crusty baguettes? I tried one from Nana but it wasn't crusty. I usually buy them from Big C Extra. I find them ok, but prefer something the outer coating to be a bit thicker and crustier, fussy guy that I am. As I am on here I will ask for bagel and croissant recommendations too! Thanks
