Looks like it's going to be taxi or private car. After a few weeks back in Oz, the 1,500 or 2,000 baht won't be a real issue.  Thanks all  ????

Howdy all  ????  Later in the year I'll be flying into Swampy. I'd like to go to Hua Hin for a few days. Never been. I see a car, taxi, is about 1500 baht. Any first hand advice on bus or train ? I'd prefer non stop from Swampy to Hua Hin if possible. Thanks in advance.  Cheers.....     Mal.

Cheaper than going to bkk

And I'd guess much cheaper than having signature witnessed at Aussie embassy. Now about $80 for a basic witness.

Have contacted lawyer who is currently attending to for me.

Two totally different Wills .  Living Will makes it clear whom will make decisions , have access to money on your behalf when you are deemed incapable of making those decisions yourself ( ie if hospitalised and in a coma ).

So a "Living Will" is one that applies whilst you are still alive .

The normal "Last Will and Testament " applies after your death . 

Thanks for that.

???? and what is the difference between those 2 ? 

I'd also like to know. My original post relates to making a "will". Who I wish to receive my assets & finances. I'll include my wishes re what happens to my remains. Advice appreciated.

Yes they can be as long as they are not a beneficiary... 

Thought so. Thanks for that.

Hi all  ????.  There is probably a more appropriate forum for this. Mods, please move if so.

I wish to write a new will. I have a previous will made some 6 years ago, by a Thai law firm. I can use  this will as a template for the new will, changing relevant details. 

My question. Can one of the witnesses to my signature be the nominated  trustee, executor ? I'm thinking so, but like to be sure.

Thanks.....     Mal.

For the past few years, I've been getting all my  meds (generics) from India, at substantial savings.  My experience with the following company has been trouble free.  Query them for any drug, and they will give you a price:

I've sent an email requesting costs & supply info. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.

I was referring to the OP, @malt25

 

He should name the medication in case there is an inexpensive local alternative. Just because he has been getting at local government hospital does nto mean he has been getting the least expensive brand.

 

(Re Rivaroxaban  which you are on, there is now a local generic called Rivoxan. I don't know the cost but bound to be less than Xarelto)

Thanks Sheryl. Genuine is Effexor. Currently getting Valosine from local govt hospital.

Cheers.....     Mal.

Hi all  ????  There maybe a more appropriate forum for this topic. If so, Mods, please move .

I've been taking a daily medication for over 24 years. Will be taking until the end. For the past few years have been getting via local Govt hospital. The cost has been increasing lately, like everything else. I'm "considering" looking at trying overseas, online suppliers. The meds have several generic options. My main question. Has anyone purchased meds online ? If so, any issues with customs ? Thanks all.  Mal.

I've been through the green, nothing to declare lane, over 50 times. Never been stopped. You could bring a corpse into LOS, as long as you don't declare it.

Hi all  ????   My 2011 Mazda 3 dash instrument shows fuel consumption as litres per 100k. Is it possible to convert to kilo per liter ? I recently changed my Yamaha Aerox bike as discribed. The bike conversion was easy. Not so sure about the Mazda. All advice appreciated.

Update. I submitted my Thai Pass application on Friday mid-day. Received the approval yesterday morning. It's all good.

For future, download the "lens" app. Problem solved.

I know I'm nit-picking, but it should not be capitalised either. 

Yes it should. I'm SHOUTING !

If you tick "Returning to Thailand", the box for "Estimated Date of Departure from Thailand" will disappear so they won't know how long you're staying and your 30 days insurance will be fine.

Thanks for that  ????

Good morning all.

In the next few days I'll be applying for my Thai Pass. I'm on a retirement extension. Travelling back to Oz to visit family. The TP application asks reason for vititing Thailand. "Travel" or "returning to Thailand". It also asks how long intended stay. I have purchased the required insurance.

This may appear a basic question, but I want to make sure I get it correct the first time. What concerns me is, only purchasing a 30 day insurance policy, should I tick reason for entry being, "returning to Thailand" or "travel" ? If I tick "returning to Thailand" it's obvious I'll be staying longer than 30 days. Trust you will see what I'm getting at ?

All advice much appreciated.

Thanks.....     Mal.

Most "shop" Vacs are wet/dry and the water squirting carpet cleaning nozzle is an add on. 

If in store checking they usually have a ball to stop over filling the tank. 

 

 

"If in store checking they usually have a ball to stop over filling the tank"  Over filling the tank might be fun, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a ball.

Suffered similar issues. Messaged that they would deliver next day. I live alone. Wait at home all day & NO delivery. Happened several times. Phoned Kerry head office, 02 number. I was lucky to get a very plesant operator who spoke perfect English. She understood my issue. Instead of me holding she suggested she call back after investigation. I thought that would be the last I heard. Good to her word she called back in about 20 minutes. Said she had called the local Kerry officer manager. Item delivered first thing next morning. Not one problem since. Oh, I now always tip the delivery guy.  Cheers.   Mal.
