Eissan,,,,is this in germany ?

not unless you got rice fields!

stayed in tom thum and utomphorn pisai..................only falang i saw were teachers from Si Sa Ket.Great area to visit though..................lots of Khymer ruins/temples etc.

I will be receiving SinSod from my Thai man when we do the traditional ceremony in January. Although neither of us have previously married we are a bit older than most (mid-30s) and have been living together for a while, so the amount will be modest, somewhere around the 200k mark. Although his parents were heavily involved in the negotiation of the amount (MIL wanted it to be much higher ) we will actually provide the cash on the day. They can load it up on the trays and return it to us in style and impress all the neighbours. They get to keep their status in the community and we get to keep our money. After all, it wouldn't be an auspicious start to bankrupt the in-laws.

Does that mean a farang man could provide 3,000,000 baht on the day & get it back sneakaly at the end of the reception???..3mil would definatly give the family good face...

but would you actually get it back?

would n't want thailand to change,love it just the way it is,so lucky to live here.

yes i know what you mean,maybe ask her to find the largest law firm in town there will be someone who will speak some english to understand the form and they will have at least one solicitor in the firm who has authority to sign and stamp notary public.Why not google yourself Kon kaen solicitors and see what comes up.

maybe the thai solicitor/notary public could help with the filling out or maybe if you both had the form in front of you you could help her fill it out via phone call,let her have a few copies incase of error in filling out

for the last 2 days i've been having problems loading different Yahoo websites. sometimes a page will load incomplete and none of the links will work but most of the time i get nothing.

anyone else having this problem? any ideas?

i'm in Bangkok using True adsl.

I use true ADSL too,and yes i do find yahoo slow,and sometimes have to switch yahoo mail to receive emails and to send but that's all..................sorry i dont have any advise as to what to do.

ok i have seen the instructions,it says it can be witnessed by a notary public.That means you just have to find a local thai solicitor in your town/city to witness your signature and that would be acceptable to the australian authorities,but the solicitor has to be a notary public,and they put a stamp or seal in the place where you sign the document.

Does anybody know anyone in Khon Kaen/Nong Khai who can witness a signature on an Australian Notice of Intended Marriage form?

It says that an Australian Diplomatic Officer, an Australian Consular Officer, an employee of the commonwealth authorized under paragraph 3 © of the Consular Fees Act 1955, or an employee of the Australian Trade Commission authorized under paragraph 3 (d) of the Consular Fees Act 1955 or a notary public can witness the signature only.

Does this warrant a trip to BKK or does anybody know if these type of people would reside out of the capital.

Thanks

if this is a stat.dec.form proving you are free to marry(i.e single or proof of divorce if you've been married before)then it has to be done at australian embassy in bangkok.

brings back good memories,i used to have an HQ.

go see angelina jolie and tell her

'hello im a sore loser living in dirt and getting beat down by random thais because i chose to drink instead of keeping my body sane.. please help me.. its not my fault that im an asshol_e on alchool and can't stop drinking it'

she'll just get her guards to finish the job.. she's buddhist..

There's places to get help, if you don't do it you deserve every bit of badluck .. its called KARMA.. and guess what, buddhists use it a lot.

why are you so angry about this guy?did he say something to your g/f.

4 - 1 !!!

I'm speechless

I did n't see the game,but that's more like it,may it long continue.maybe true sports 1 will replay today.

What is Pension Busting? Plain English please.

you hand over your pension to said company in Pattaya. it is busted, handed back to you and you pay a 25% fee. as simple as that... the OP thinks

Naam,i still dont understand?are you talking about someone's private pension,say lump sum,cannot mean govt.pension can it?

Very good post HH.My team is Wolves and i was wondering is there anywhere on true sports that show championship league games?

Andorra 0 England 2

A win is a win is a win.Erickson got them through too,but they never got much further.always a disa ppointment................the question i always ask is why?

but why would you bother watching england,such a crap team!

Pray tell, which football champion-winning-nation do you hail from?

ENGLAND!

when football in the UK had some passion.I used to love the home championship between england,scotland,wales and northern ireland.Players really wanted to play for their country.Remember the scots coming to wembley or england having to play up at hampden park in front of a 120,000 fanatical scotsmen,no women at matches then,just fathers and sons.

And today,there's little allegiance left,players dont want to commit to playing for england anymore,the premier league has become too important(champions league too)afraid of injury and losing their place in premier league side.

For me passion for playing football for the love of the game has long since gone.

So it seems that newcastle's problems are:

(1) the owner

(2) dennis wise

so get rid of 1 and 2.

but bringing back Keegan?when things get tough or dont go his way he'll always do a runner.Shearer?too scared of being a failure!maybe bring in a foreign manager is the answer.

yeah england are a sad excuse for a football team,always have been.I can think of only 2 games where they have excelled..........1966 world cup final,and more recently when they beat germany 5-1.

interesting news clip,but where is Nan?

the pubs have it down for 1am,but why would you bother watching england,such a crap team!

probably to much beer on top off heart pills,happen to anyone,so i guess its a warning for us all,

although the lady did n't look too happy at missing out.

how about their phone no.

where exactly is "beautiful world" furniture located please.

It is in Samui town center Bophut beside the Bangkok Bank on the ring road

ok thanks i will try there.
