    Clearly you didn’t bother to fully read the report. 

    Homicide investigstors are trying to determine what happened and whether there were other people involved. 

     

    RIP to the 2 young girls and condolences to their families. 

    My comment was based on what the RTP would have said in a similar situation. Clearly lost on you.

    are women allowed to drive cars in your male dominated world, it's like something you might hear from the middle east - you can swing it whatever way you like but it is discrimination

     

    The stupidity of the uneducated  raises hits head again - it really is time this country gets rid of the buffoons and starts to put in place educated people 

     

    Lets do a roll call - how many people currently (or even in the past) running this country  have a university education...……………….……?

     

    IQ

    A Thai University or a real university ?

    Buying a car which is on Rent-to-Own/ Hire Purchase

    Same as a bank/finance company having the blue book.

    The vehicle is in the name of whoever holds the paper on the loan/rent to own/hire purchase agreement.

    Go see them to determine the amount required to pay off the contract in total.

    Come to an agreement with whoever rent/hired the vehicle as to what compensation they want for the money they have already paid.

    Both of you meet with the blue book holder, who should go with you to DLT to assist in the paperwork.

    When transfer complete, pay the funds.

    Many thanks for the information.

    Outpatient costs - Bangkok Hospital

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    I had a minor operation at BH earlier this year and was very happy with everything there.

     

    The initial estimated cost was 13,000 to 15,000 baht and the bill came in at 13,000 baht.

     

    The operation was carried out on time, everything went like clockwork.

     

    The follow up wound examination was also included in that cost which surprised me, i was expecting an additional charge.

     

    All communication was made via "Messenger" with prompt replies every time.

    Buying a car which is on Rent-to-Own/ Hire Purchase

    Looking for advise about the safest way to buy a vehicle from a Thai which is on Rent-to-Own/ Hire Purchase.

     

    How does the seller pay off the loan and get ownership via the Blue Book in order to make the DLT transfer without funds from the purchaser, I am assuming here that they don't have sufficient funds of their own.

     

    I don't want to be paying off the loan on their behalf to find that they then disappear with the Blue Book.

     

    Any actual experience of this type of purchase would be appreciated.

     

    Many thanks.

    Where is all this money coming from?

     

    Billions and billions and billions have been spent in the EEC.

     

    The defense budget has at least doubled in the last few years.

     

    "...The Cabinet on August 7 approved a three-year moratorium on farmers’ debts, continuing through July 2021...A budget of Bt2.7 billion was approved for debt-interest compensation to the BAAC due to the suspension of debt repayments..."

     

    "...The Cabinet is also set to consider restructuring debt that farmers have owed to the BAAC since 2000. This project involves combined debt topping Bt6 billion and interest of Bt4 billion..."

     

    "...In the second phase of this undertaking this year, monthly handouts increased from Bt300 to Bt500 for individuals earning less than Bt30,000 a year and from Bt200 to Bt300 for people on annual incomes of less than Bt100,000..."

     

    "...The Cabinet also gave the green light to an Interior Ministry scheme to help boost the rural economy by injecting Bt200,000 each into more than 82,000 communities throughout the country...."

     

    "...There is also a Bt40-billion project to offer cheap loans to homebuyers on low incomes. .."

     

    These are just some of the expenditures noted from this particular story; members who read the news regularly know that there are many, many, many other spending announcements.

     

    Where is all this money coming from?

    TIme for the annual pilgrimage for my extension of stay, so took all my documents to the visa agent upstairs at the Prom. They did ask for documentation to back up the income verification letter. Said the "new" boss requires it. Provided them copies of of each of my retirement income statements. I also had copies of three months of bank statements showing the deposits into my account, but they said the other documents were enough.

    Are you from the USA ?

    Made a transfer from my Wallet (which had been credited with a returned item) to my Thai bank account. On inquiry after 4 days with nothing being credited I was told it could take up to 12 days. Suggested they use a computer for the transfer instead of sending a letter.

    How were you able to isolate determine that it was a faulty pump? by the error code?

     In my case when the pump stopped working I checked for continuity across the motor's + and - terminals. No continuity suggested that the there was a break in the motor wingdings or the brushes were shot.
