shower with them and don't let them out of your sight.

I only do ST with strangers and have dead lock keyed on both sides,

I made a minor change on my policy after many years, same every problem happened between became uncovered

Dominique, the country next to Haiti.

There are certain restrictions on what jobs foreigners can do, suggest you look into that.

Also work would require a Work Permit, although many do work without it, a restaurant is a place where you will be noticed by everyone, and someone might just say something.

No problem if you apprenticed under a famous chef a[ 5 star ]

If you don't want the Thai government to get your assets then don't let a Thai lawyer get them either

Get an English simple will translated from one of the translating companies you see here at Thai Visa

Go to the Amphur in Bamlamung and have them process and register it for you

You will need 1. copy of your Passport (Face page and Visa) 2. A medical certificate available for 100-150 THB from any clinic 3. Original and copy of the Thai and English Will 4. You will need two Thai witnesses (the girls at the Amphur will be most happy to be your witnesses (don't forget to tip) 5. Take your girl so she can show them her Thai ID card 6. 20 THB baht to pay for it all

They will witness everything, place the information in their registry book, and will seal the envelope containing the Will in an envelope, place it into storage, and will give you a receipt

Using a lawyer is fraught with danger since they will not register the Will until you are dead and then how do you know that what you wrote is what was registered

This way you maintain control through the whole process. The only caveat is that in case of any dispute the Thai version of the Will will take precedence

BTW. I did the above process less than a year ago and the requirements I cited are directly from the Banglamung Amphur

Who do you trust the most, a lawyer or yourself ? This is one time where the DYI route is the best and safest way to go

Had mine done recently and reasonably. 089 890 4023

Lao could make a fortune selling citizenships ala St. Domingo.

Jomtien would seem a better bet to me; no real competition, lots of people with plenty of money and fairly poor public transport to Tesco which is the nearest proper supermarket.

Yeah, I'm always amazed at all the wealthy looking people I see riding the baht-buses in Pattaya/Jomtien

For the last 10 years I have wondered why there is no regular bus service on Thepassitt to Tesco..

Transparency is not a Thai virtue, lot's of black money comes here.

Got 2 from 2 banks, just went to the ATM and they worked, someones new scam never give any numbers anyway.

Nothing like fresh fish

Not very transparent...

Most of the shops you see selling blank DVDs and general computer accessories will sell extension cables suitable for earbuds. I've got several, 6mts @90 baht, 15mts @ 200 baht. The longer ones can lose a little volume. Shops will sell wireless headphones but they don't appear to be popular. You don't need an electrician.

I'm not mobile, anyone can come to me or near Soi 7 Jomtien?

Where can I buy earphones, any type but with 2 insert prongs [why do some work with only one?] and a long wire so I can watch and hear in bed without waking my lady.

Can the ones you buy allover be extended? Is there a wireless option? Electrician?

Anyone use HSCB branch in HK?

Had a similar scam twice on my banks here..

Is the Thai poste dependable?

People who are willing to leave family and friend at home to travel far away must be intrinsically self sufficient confident loners

Helpful if you speak German

This comes as no surprise

IMO Thai people have for a long time lived beyond their means.

For so many Thais as soon as they get their monthly salary at

the beginning of the month they rush of to go shopping or they

go out for meals. Then when the last 7 - 10 days of they either

have no money left for food / water and they spend the last few

days of the month eating mama noodles.

They have no concept of saving and budgets, yet so many have

IPhones and Bloackberry's. Priorities are so out of whack, they

eat and be happy today and they do not think or worry about

tomorrow

That's the problem with all warm countries where they do not have to plan for the winters,Greece?

Call 0898904023 forgot his name but he's good and did my entire Will for 2000, he'll come to you, think office is on Thepasit.

For USA citizens,

I know you are not hiding but you still need to report as if you were..

Congress has arrogantly passed legislation to control foreign banks on foreign soil. FATCA, for example, requires that every single bank on the planet enter into an information-sharing agreement with the IRS.

Banks that don't comply will face severe penalties, including being subject to a steep withholding tax on funds sourced through the US.

In the long-run, Congress will have put the final nail in the coffin of the US banking system as the market will simply establish an alternative destination to source, clear, and transfer funds.

I don't think there's any Asian country were it's "easy" try the Dominican Republic if your just looking for a passport, quick but expensive.

Kodak across from Friendship on S. Pattaya Rd. put my slides on a CD, sorry forgot the phone no.

Nationality, Remember the Khmer Empire ? I think they're all Malay.

PM Chalerm Yoobamrung has been very quiet. He must be up to something.

Now that you mention it
