I would go speak to Johnny Borang, he is the big shot farang near you, just look for his mansion. His wife is Mrs big shot , represents several villages in the area. Check if you actually come under WB amphur for maintenance issues, the Tessabaan in Phu Toei looks after several villages around you.

Johnny B slurps at the Swiss blokes restaurant in WB town, Soi 1.

Seems like she would have no problem. She was removed from office in a military coup.

Well she wasn't, but let's not go there or the junta fan boy club will be all over this again. She was removed from office by the CC.

Rumour has it, the cocky colonel has already accepted the long-vacant post of Minister for Internal Affairs and Human Security. Meanwhile everyone thinks the poor guy's got his cummupence for doing what his bosses wanted . . . what a bunch of junta Judases - and the real sweetener is that they'll think this little announcement is making them look good. They are just so far off the boil, this shower.

 

Well, if they can lie, so can I!

PS Their synchronised pointing is pretty good, though; I'll give 'em that. And that dude's pretty brave, wearing a Klopp shirt, after Sunday's rout at WH Lane

 Good post, but you should take the trouble to find out where the Spuds are playing their home games this season.

Look for test centre with this sign, they will do the test,  The one I use will sell you the compulsory insurance and tax the vehicle for you. Our local PLTO sell the insurance at desk just before the tax renewal counter, alternatively, 7/11's sell it too, used to be a funny advert on Thai TV about how to do it.

My truck, two mo-cys are over seven yo, do it myself, no real issues unless the test place find fault with the inspection.

Yes, absolutely. Why would you think Queen Elizabeth would be treated any differently than His Majesty?

Well her Uncle did marry an American, after been told he couldn't reign as King if he did. A twice divorced woman too, perhaps our royals think they owe us.

Quoting the Guardian and the sources of info it uses isnt really serious when it comes to this issue! The rag has been completely unbalanced since before the referendum !

Obviously you haven’t owned a ford. There’s a reason the Ford F150 is the top selling vehicle of all kinds in the states. If you’re an outdoorsman, building a house, etc the fords are on the road years and years after the Japanese pickups. They are great the first few years but not built fir heavy use or the long haul. 

Well thankfully this is not the land of the Donald and farmers are running 20yo plus trucks here, not to mention the fruit and veg daily runners to Bangkok. Mainly all Isuzu's and Toyota's.

"The long haul", 

Don't place all your faith in Google maps either, still informs you to do a right turn at a major intersection on the Sukhumvit. Try doing it and your looking at a few days on hospital food if you survive the carnage.

Using an Asus zenfone max, tank of a phone, 5000mAh battery, 18 months use, no issues, well part from weight.  Probably will look at the Motorola G5s plus, or Nokia 6/8 soon. Wife has an Oppo Joy 3, terrific little phone, all you would need if you wanted a kiss phone.

Dealer informed correctly, case closed.

Toyota pickup trucks sold in thailand are made in Thailand not Japan

They are indeed, at the Ban Po plant , I have driven past it many times. Do you think I am stupid ,made this tale up and either my wife, it was in her name or myself not question it when we went to pick up the 5K Baht. 

You appear to be the Toyota know it all on here, why do you think they cancelled the order?

In Dec 2010 I ordered new pickup truck from local Toyota dealer and give 5000 Baht to secure order. Later in March 2011 the dealer informs the truck not coming, stating tsunami in Japan cause big probs,  come to dealer and get your money back.

Late June 2011 dealer phones and says your truck come on transporter last night come and get.

Still have the truck. 

Tricky one for UK, 50 Apache helicopters ordered, C17 's on lease and the RAF's Chinook fleet.

Just carry my pink ID card and my drivers license. Fly around in thailand, show id for hotel bookings, get stopped by traffic cops, never needed anything else. Never carry my passport with me... absolutely not needed for any purpose when you have the pink ID

Funny thing happened when I wanted to buy a new sim card, prepaid for my son. Could not do at the sales counter at the AIS shop but had to go to their 'regular' shop in the same mall if I wanted to use the pink ID...Only time I was asked to produce my passport and I still think it was the unfamiliarity of the sales lady rather than the ID itself that was confusing....

 

 

Does this ID card have details of your current immigration status?, I ask as when booking in at a Bangkok hotel last week the reception staff commented " you stay Thailand long time", when looking at my entry stamp, TM6 and current permission to stay date in my passport which they asked for.

150 to 170 for a small bottle in Big Dogs for example...So about 6 to 7 pounds a pint. I would never ever, under any circumstances drink draft beer in Thailand.

Pint of the black stuff 230 Baht in Soi 4 last weekend, still good price. If your a Brit I wouldn't expect you to drink draft beer either. We write it as draught.

     Lao cow ,  that will do nicely. 

Plus one bottle red Fanta, Lao Deng, cheap way of getting sozzled.

Yup, ECU shop, you get a free sticker too. Plus have a look in the 7/11, plenty of Thai motoring mags. Got all my info from "Pickup Performance" mag. Bonus,  plenty pics of scantily clad Thai girls draped over trucks, if that floats your boat.

I am lucky i live in a province where it was easy to get yellow tabien baan and all authorities (exempt immigration who luckily dont need to see it)

Accept the book and or the ID card readily. Ive used the ID card all over Thailand with no problems at all for hotels and internal flights and phone contract with Dtac  in my banks. I have had the yellow book translated and notorized by the British Embassy, and have used it as part of a range of papers for matters arising in my birth country UK. I have no idea how much a COR is at KK immigration but if i say 200bht then over the time ive had the book i estimate to have saved 3000bht in COR fee's alone.

So is it worth it YES

Impressive stuff, well just to counter that, this year I have renewed Brit passport, purchased air tickets, renewed 5 year DL for third time, opened BK Bank fixed savings account, approx 3K km driving holiday in the south of Thailand with wife, staying in several guest houses/hotels, being stopped at umpteen Police/Army check points for ID, Passport, DL, where you going/to BS.

If you are legally married to a Thai you can get an address certificate at the Tessabaan free. In 15 years here never had an Imm COR.

Q. yellow book worth it,      up to you.

A visitor to his house asked what he had being doing these last few months, Bruce " I've been  busy - being ill"

Sharp as a tack till the end.

Fascinating topic, covered very well on a radio show I was tuned into yesterday.

In the small town I was raised in Cambridgeshire we still have a statue of the Lord Protector in the market square and a few pubs in the area were named too. Our civil war was a few years before the American one, Cromwell and parliament had a King executed too.

What on earth is the Post Office's interest in this?
Oh yes, they flog foreign currency and travel insurance...

It would be better if they put the effort into ensuring a half decent mail service between the two countries...

 I often refer to our small town post office as Bermuda triangle due to many items going AWOL, this week my online ordered train tickets arrived from UK within 6 days. It did cost a £10 fee but kudos to both Post Offices. 

I asked about this nonsense when at Phetchabun Immigration on Friday when getting a single re-entry permit. The IO informed me it was my wife who would have to come to immigration and report that I was living at our address within 24 hours. I told the IO that she could not drive and I would have to bring her. He said no probs, just you bring copy of her ID card.

Always important to choose that pickup that will get you home nice and dry. Ye gods?
