Why have a paper bill come to the house for local services? Hopefully some day PEA will step up to the modern times and submit monthly billings online. -

You could be right. However, everything I sent for many years from the USA to Germany and New Zealand always arrived....... and in a timely fashion. I don't recall any missing mail or mail delivered extremely late to those two destinations. Hmmmmmm........ -

Is Hangdong in Chiang Mai "out-of-the-way sticks"? ......and it wasn't a 'generalization', it was fact based on personal experience. -

The decision is YOUR choice, not the bank's. If a bank would not abide by where/how I want the card delivered then I would be choosing a different bank. -

I just posted more details regarding my original post, I was referring to international delivery of a credit card. For a local credit card (or debit card) then I understand but even so I would personally pick up the card at the bank and get it myself. NOTE: I have just 1 Credit/Debit card from my home country bank and 1 debit card from BKK Bank. My card from the USA was just recently re-issued. I had my bank send it to my brother's house in the USA and then he forwarded it to me using DHL. My BBK Bank debt card was handed to me personally at the bank........easy peasy......safe and secure! -

To be more specific I was talking about credit cards (or debit cards) issued outside of Thailand (like from your home country). International mail deliveries to Thailand has a 'hit or miss' result. I would never trust standard delivery service for something so important. I have personally sent items in the mail from the USA to Thailand that never arrived at the addressed location. And just last week I received mail from the USA SSA (Social Security Administration) that arrived a little over a month later than the date recorded on the letter. I would never chance it but, 'to each their own'. Hmmmmmm... 5 credit cards... wow! (So far this year!!!!) -

Who in their right mind would have a credit card delivered by regular post...... It's DHL or FedEx..... The only way! -

Requirements for a Retired expat to buy a vehicle
dingdongrb replied to dingdongrb's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Surin - Kap Choeng office -
I have never purchased a vehicle in Thailand before as all our previous vehicles were purchased in my Thai wife's name. However I am now wanting to buy a vehicle in my name so I would like to ask, what are the requirements and things I must do to make that happen? I have read somewhere that I must obtain a Certificate of Residency from Thai Immigration, is that true? I ask this because when I did my 90 reporting the other day I made a request about getting the CoR to the IO stating that I was wanting to buy a vehicle. The IO said that I first must go to the Thai division of Transportation and obtain some sort of letter from them and then take that letter to Immigration to get the CoR. I guess I am confused as I never heard about this or perhaps the IO misunderstood what I was wanting to do. What is this letter all about and what does it state? Can someone who has bought a vehicle before please reply with the exact things I need to do in order to buy a vehicle? Thanks in advance. NOTE: Financing is not needed.

Divorse or not.
dingdongrb replied to rutteketuut's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
I don't want to go back to the USA and create a residence there just in order to get a divorce. I have spoken to a couple different divorce attorneys both here in Thailand and the USA. The easiest and quickest way to get a divorce (uncontested) is to get one here in Thailand but in order to do that the marriage needs to be registered here. I never said anything about needing to register the marriage here in order to get a divorce in the USA, you were making assumptions. -
Let me add something as I forgot to mention it in my earlier post. In my wallet I carry a contact paper identifying myself as well as providing contact information in case of my death or an accident. That paper not only identifies my choice for 'DNR' it also states to take me to a government hospital and not a private one.

Yeah, just like the need to wear a mask while on a scooter but neglecting to wear a helmet. I would also like to say that my experiences between a few private hospitals and government ones, I'll be completely satisfied using a government one.

Man falls 4,000 feet to his death from Grand Canyon Skywalk
dingdongrb replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I think I used the wrong choice of words and you were more correct with saying 'pass out'. That is more of what I was thinking, pass out as not having any awareness as to when the impact was to occur. I know that the body just wouldn't completely shutdown and lose all signs of life. Wrong choice of words on my part. -

You sure? Perhaps the body recognizes what is about to occur and goes into immediate shut-down mode. -

What other choice is there? I have a similar situation. We were married in the USA and never registered the marriage here in Thailand. My understanding is, in order to get a divorce we would need to first register our marriage here in Thailand. My wife will not register our marriage here. So please tell me how I'm supposed to get a divorce.... -
