  1. I recently received a 3 month non-O visa which I will be converting to a one year retirement extension. The visa expires on Dec 22, when can I go convert the visa? Can I go early--say one month before, or do I need to wait until closer to the date it expires? Thanks in advance.
  2. More shortsided thinking from an inept govt. They never look long term, only, get all we can TODAY.
  3. They'd have an extra 300 baht to spend if it wasn't going to be used as a "tourist tax" upon entering!
  4. Exactly! I hate when you apply with documents that have worked somewhere else--and for years, and the requirements have changed. More hoop jumping required.
  5. Once again, short term thinking. Instead of, "Let's make it easier and cheaper for tourists to come here", which would increase numbers in the long run. They only think short term, get the money TODAY forget about tomorrow!
  6. Exactly, just like with the double pricing, it's the principal.
  7. I tried WD, always works on most things but didn't even touch the mango juice.
  8. My neighbor has a large mango tree--the green type, that overhangs into the street. I don't park under it directly but I still get mango juice on my car. Does anyone know what will take this off the finish. I've tried various penetrating oils, waxes and other things and all have failed to take it off. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions..
  9. I guess it'll be easier for the Chinese now to infiltrate; all they need to do is either wait till he's asleep or offer him some wristwatches.
  10. Free watches for the masses!!!
  11. Hunt in another country. The stories are endless of people getting ripped off here.
  12. Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
  13. I know what you mean; I've had numerous covers for cars/motorcycles and none of them lasted very long. Like you say, they seem to get thin--and papery from environmental factors. Same with some plastic items over here, they just get brittle and turn into a powder over time.
  14. I had the same issue with a car I stored for two years. I thought I was doing the right thing by covering it up, but like you say, mold started growing on the leather upholstery. The paint was in good condition though. If I did it again I'd definitely have someone start the car at least every couple of weeks and run the AC.
  15. Yes, more than enough and has been in there for years.....just for the visa. Thanks
  16. I entered Thailand on visa exempt; just curious when I can apply for Non-immi O visa. Can I apply anytime within the 30 days or do I have to wait until closer to it expiring? I know when renewing the Non immi O they want you to wait until 2-3 weeks--depending on the office, before it expires. Sorry if this has been asked before; couldn't find it in the search. Thanks in advance.
  17. I didn't use to wear one riding either, then as I started going in and out of businesses it turned into a matter of convenience. Helmet off, mask on, shop, mask off, helmet on, just easier to leave it on if multiple stops are anticipated.
  18. They JUST don't get it, do they?! TIT!
  19. IMO, If you're a rich, well connected Thai you can probably get away with it, anybody other than that, not advisable.
