All the new post's and discussions about problems and suggestion of Windows 7 started by Richard-BKK have to be continued here.

Thanks for understanding.

Why is that?

It would be nice if somebody wrote a thread on whats nice about w7..that ain tnever gonna happen

If you are using anything but port 25 for smtp, you will be fine.

All these work-arounds only really apply when using ISPs that are blocking port 25 to all other servers than their own.

Not really true!

Indeed many ISP's block port 25, unless you use their SMTP server.

The OP's problem, is his own NZ ISP blocking access to their smtp server when online using any other ISP, regardless of where you are.

Even if the Thai ISP the OP would have in the guesthouse would freely allow all smtp servers, he still would not have access as his NZ smtp server blocks the inbound traffic on port 25.

His only easy solution is to use the smtp server of the ISP used at the guesthouse (or use webmail).

I would use gmail he can set it up to collect his external email and then send it as if its come from hi sopther email..

Seems like a lot of cheap charlies here....

I give my wife about 250,000 baht per month just for her own spending and all other expenses I pay

at the end of the month if she needs some more money, she can withdraw from our bank account

on average she spends around 300,000 - 350,000 baht per month.

Come on guys, stop boasting......

P.S. I am not in Thailand, nor I am English teacher.

Come on mate what a crock of <deleted>.... you givin your missus nearly 8k english a month and if she needs more then she can just go to the ATM and get more.....you may not be in Thailand or a english teacher but you are definately stupid

Thanks Guys,

What about the dates? My extension expires in April 2010 - will this have any impact on the length of the work permit? I'm not sure how that works?

Cheers, J

You should get a 1 year work permit because work permits are not tied to permit to stays any more. Or it could even be a 2 year.

When did this happen..i had my extension stopped in january because the company phoned up.. you can only work on a NOn-O if you are married..when you get a extension based on marrige they give you a NON-O..

I would reccomend that the OP gets a NON-B as he is still in UK and then once he has been in the job 1 year then get a extension of stay....

We are not talking about extensions of stay. Yours ended because you lost your job. They don't give any visa when you get an extension of stay.

Visa entries do not matter as long as it is a non immigrant visa entry, There is no difference between an O and a B in that respect.

Marriage is just a reason for the visa being issued and is not written in the visa stamp. You can even get an extension based upon marriage or retirement with a B visa entry.

He does not have to wait a year to get an extension if the company has been in business long enough and can meet the requirements.

Hold on mate you have just written a post saying work permits are not tied to permits to stay anymore and they are if it is based on work. also if you apply for a extension of stay based on being married then they give you a big whooping NON-O stamp in your passport which then is written 'thai wife' simiraly if you get a extension of stay based on work then they give you a bog whooping NON-B stamp in your passport with the name of your company that you work for in their..

Lets put it this way if the OP gets a visa in the UK before he leaves then that visa is his he can come over and apply for his work permit the day he lands...if he arrives on a NON-O then he cannot work straight away as only people that are married can work and apply for a work permit on a NON-O..there fore he will have to go through all the hassle of getting an extension which they may or may not give him and then apply for a work permit..on top of that if he gets an extension based on work and the job doesnt work out for 1 reason or another then the extension will be invalid and he will have 7 days to leave thailand..if he arrives on a NON-B then he will not need to do that as they cannot withdraw a NON-B that has been issued outside of Thailand..

Given all that i would definaltely say that getting a NON-B before he arrives would be far far better..

Use your non-o.

There is no conversion needed because you will have a non immigrant entry. That is all that is required to get a work permit and an extension of stay if the company can meet all the requirements.

Are you sure on that?? i thought that a extension of stay is based on the visa you have so if your not married etc then you need a NON-B in the 1st place before you can apply for a extension of stay???

Either way i would say get a NON-B in the UK..for one thing if you get a extension of stay then when the job finishes or if it goes sour then your have 7 days to leave..at least a NON-B then its your visa and not works..

Never do drugs Zorro, not my thing... the guy is an idiot and yes he should know better but the punishment should fit the crime...look at this guy here http://www.usp.com.au/fpss/news-thailand/n...hailand130.html who got 2 years for shootin dead somebody else yet somebody who sells drugs to others qho want it will get considerably longer than that...... fair??? you tell me.

yet again i ask myself if all those people slaggin him off and sentencing him instead of the courts have even taken any kind of drugs or done anything illegal.. if so SHUT IT....

Poor man's gonna spend along time in a rough place..i nor anybody else should wish that on anbody just for drugs

You gotta love it just the mear fact that if i want to listen to music i just download via torrent..if i cant get torrent i pay 100 baht..its just easy..hear i am downloading the latest lost there is no way i can watch it legally for the next donkeys years..so i download it and me and mrs will be chompin on banna cake later watchin our favouirte programs
