Go past the turning for Immigration (on your left) and the BBK Bank branch is around 5kms further on, again on your left. Might be a bit further, but not much. I've been using it for the last 5 years and never had a problem.

I come up from Pakchong too. I get my letter from the BBK Branch about 10 mins from the Imm Office in Korat. I try to get there for 8.30 and depending on queues I can be out of there before 9. So 9.15 is probably a good time to get there.

Thanks. My renewal is due end of Feb so I'll give it a go. As an aside, does anyone know if Korat still requires the Bank letter to be dated the same day as application? Bit of a pain as it means the earliest I can get there is near 9.30. Getting the letter the previous day would mean I'd have a fighting chance of getting out of there before lunch!

I went on an island hopping boat trip off Rayong a few weeks ago. We stopped to do some snorkeling where the Thai guy in charge of the boat was encouraging people to stand on the coral so he could take pictures. My wife asked him if it could damage the coral, he just laughed and said never mind! I didn't participate.

COD sorts everything. Even if they have the "packed" malarkey, just refuse delivery 10 weeks later!

Renewing 2 licenses at the same time.

Here in Pakchong the yellow book is somewhat useful. People without one need to go to immigration or their embassy to get a residency certificate. Sounds like there are many different interpretations of the requirements depending on where you live. -

In Pakchong last year they would not accept the yellow book. I needed to take the yellow book to the amphur and get a residence certificate - painless, 5 minute job. They also didn't care that I had a pink ID. My licenses have always been linked to my passport, and I was told that if I wanted them linked to the pink ID card then I would need to start again from scratch. Maybe just here. -
I've had a basic Philips for almost 6 years. Bulletproof. The detachable basket aids cleanup as does using wax paper inners. As far as cooking....chips come out great, frozen and homemade, just spay some oil on first. Chicken pieces cook quickly and are perfectly moist. Sausages, bacon fish all come out perfect. My Thai wife loves it. All just my opinion, of course.

Another good online option is EYEBUYDIRECT. I've used them a few times. Way cheaper than 20K for better quality. Last pair arrived 8 days after order.

You need to bite new shoes. Or they will bite you by giving blisters.

Using same pics for marriage extension again?

I've used the same ones for the last 3 years at Korat. No problems. Will probably get a new set next year as my son will be decidedly bigger....and the chihuahua no longer a puppy! -
Question about Internet Simcard 1000 baht per year

I've been using this one for the last 3 years. It's perfect for every day use. Speed is good - even streamed live sports on occasion. Never got close to using the monthly limit. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i1197528705-s2854048248.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1 -
I have a 9 year old son. From day 1 (hospital) he has been in a child seat. This is the third one. I cannot fathom why parents would not protect their kids... He goes to an OK private school. In all the years I have dropped him off I have only ever seen 1 car seat used by a Thai parent.
