Moonrakers

About 2 months and 5 kilos

Thanks folks.

There's no way I'll be doing it myself. I'd rather pay a professional to do it to help ensure the litle fella comes to no harm (asides from having his bits removed, obviously).

We found a BKK vet that'll do it for 5k. A bit more than I thought it would be but OK. 2 other places quoted 20k. Ouch... 

Thanks.

Do they operate in Bangkok? My wife's tried a few vets so far without any luck

Hi.

Does anybody know where I can get 'the op' done for a mini-pig in Bangkok and the approximate price? I'm not sure a standard vet will do it (I'll be asking in the pet section as well).

Thanks in advance.

Chanote is a translation of the word deed, there is no Condominium title document as such (still referred to as a chanote). Same document but refers to a building not land.

Hi.

I wonder if you kind folks could help me with something. I'm looking for the Thai (written) word for certain documents.

These are Or Chor 2 (The condominium title), chanote, tabien baan, and moo baan. (I know the last one is not a document)

I have tried to find these online myself but to no avail. Perhaps even better is if somebody knows where I can find these, because I'm probably going to need to know some more as well.

Thank you 

I'll hijack this thread instead of starting another one. 

Am I right in thinking photocopies are OK? (Asides from needing an original wedding certificate, which I have). 

Thanks

Applied for a new passport at trendy today. All went quite smoothly. I did have to re-write the forms out because I used blue ink instead of black, which I found a tad anal but it wasn't a big deal.

I so hope there are no delays and I get my new passport in good time. I have almost 3 months remaining on my current visa so fingers crossed all should be OK.

OK, great. Thanks for the advice ubonjoe.

When you say it needs to be signed by 2 witnesses, is that 2 witnesses in addition to my wife and the landlord?

Seems a bit of a pointless exercise on their part considering how easy it would be to just make it up.

What they are wanting is proof that your are living in Thailand The exact address is not that relevant since nothing is mailed to you now.

Oh, I see. That makes more sense.

It might be easier for me to just change our rental agreement so my name is on it. Does anybody know what requirements they have for rental agreements? Will a private rental agreement suffice?

What is the person to you that has the name on the rental agreement.

Just a basic rental agreement will be accepted. You can buy blanks of them at stationary stores. Fill it in and have two witnesses sign it.

My (Thai) wife's name is on the rental agreement.

The rental agreement with her name on it and your marriage certificate should be enough. You are living with you wife.

Great, that makes it much easier. Thanks for the help.

*Bump.

The only official thing I have with my name on it is (Thai) bank accounts. Will a statement from a bank with my address on it do? And what would happen if I had nothing at all with my address in it? Surely I wouldn't be left unable to get a passport?

The law of the land say that as a foreigner you MUST carry your passport. No ifs or buts, no copies or excuses. Stick inside the law and you won't be risking a fine. Simples!

Unless your lose your passport or it is stolen and then you have to apply for a new one, Which takes time, and money, and by the time your passport comes back you may well be on overstay. This would mean that you have to pay a fine PLUS all the additional costs and hassle of having to replace your passport. 

 

 

 

Jeez, what is wrong with you people with these negative comments. It's the law and has been for a while. Plenty of western countries were it's mandatory that you carry a photo id. Get a grip f f s

Passport. Not just any photo ID. 

Again it's the law to carry it. You don't trust yourself not to lose it?

What a silly question. The vast majority of people reading this thread have never carried it with them regularly and won't now. 

 

And they have not carried it with them because taking valuables is usually considered a very irresponsible thing to do. Tourists and residents are usually advised to keep valuables, including passports, locked away safely.

And no, I don't trust myself enough to not lose my passport. But I am responsible enough to leave it at home. 

 

 

 

 

In every country the rule is the same but who is really going to the beach with his passport and which country is really enforcing this to a fine? How much worth a stolen passport for criminals and have you an idea of the hassles in case a tourist loses his passport? Which tourist really want to lose his passport in Thailand? I hope the police force will be flexible with this rule (as all countries are) especially regarding the fine or is this measure to extort the tourists money ? By the way is extortion not criminal offence? You, who make the rules should put yourself at the position of legit tourists and not treat them as criminals at first... We see that Big Generals are in power... What s the next measure?

 

"in every country the rule is the same"? Utter nonsense. I assume you are Thai or you would know better.

 

 

I am not Thai but can you point me a country where you can theorically circulate without a valid ID ?

 

The US.

 

And the UK.

I've also been to a handful of European countries and was never told I had to have ID. Nor in Malaysia, Laos, Singapore or Cambodia. It's possible that I missed such a rule in one or two of those countries though. 

For all Brits, when applying for a new passport the only way is by post and you need to send the original.

You do not need to send the original, they make an exception for Thailand. The stipulation on having your passport with you at all times is not a new thing, it just seems that they are now choosing to enforce it. 

So they expect my to take my passport out with me when I'm on the piss?

LOL. 

I work online as a writer. At least I usually do, only now I have taken on the role of looking after our 1yr old son.

As a writer I can expect to make 40k/month with an average workload, that can double if I get enough work in.

To qualify for a work permit I will need to employ staff, hire premises, pay additional overheads..... and so on. To cut a long one short most, if not all, that I earn will be spent entirely on meeting the requirements to make myself legal where working is concerned. I know that 40-80k a month is hardly a spectacular amount yet is is still more than many others make, but still not enough to afford working 'legally'. Also, workloads are quite irregular as a freelancer so it is quite likely that I will end up Losing money some months despite making an income which is more than most others will make.

I can stay here legally because I qualify for a Non-O as I am married to a Thai. As things stand I am not overly concerned about the work permit situation as I doubt somebody writing articles from home is high on the list of priorities, but they may decide to ask more questions about one's income at some point in the future. If that were to happen, then a scenario could arise where it would be more beneficial to the wife and I for me to not work at all. That would be a tad counter-productive.

Personally, I would like to see immigration and the department of employment recognise this situation and make it possible for those that are doing honest work online to become legal, and to contribute. Working online is a relatively new phenomenon, at least where its popularity is concerned, and I think that the rules need to be updated accordingly.

This could all become irrelevant to me in the not too distant future anyway as my wife and I are trying to get a business off the ground and once (hopefully) established, I shall be joining with a work permit. Still though, I think the relevant authorities could be missing a trick if they don't address the situation as there are plenty of people in Thailand that might be forced to leave, whereas they could otherwise stay and contribute.

To stay here legally is easy because you are married to a Thai.

You can get an extension of stay by having 400k baht in the bank or proof of 40k baht income.

You can also get a multiple entry non-o visa that would give you a 90 day entries for a year.

You can set up a company and get a work permit with either of these.

If you are writing it is possible to get legal to do that if you are doing it for a company that publishes them.

Sure.

The problem is though that after the cost of renting premises, paying the associated overheads and hiring the staff I need to qualify for a work permit, I'll be left with little or nothing for myself. Cost isn't the only factor either as I simply just don't need any staff, anybody that I hire will be sitting around doing nothing all day long.

If there was an option that would allow me to operate as a one man band then that would be great. Having to hire staff so I qualify for a work permit, however, makes it unfeasible.
