A lot of the guests at my wife's guesthouse go to Satva Yoga and they have all said good things

you can find them by googling Satva Yoga Chiang Mai

Save the aggravation and get yourself a "Yellow book"

That's what I'm aiming to do but to get the yellow book I need to get a residency certificate

Still I guess that's only one trip to the consulate to help fund their Christmas party

Centara Duang Tawan Hotel?

In that area it's mostly going to be hotel-based gyms.

Been A while but I think the daily rates are high. When my boy was here he found it best to just take out a monthly rate.

Thanks for the tip - I'll be sure to pass that along

Cheers - it's for a mate who'll be staying over that way later this month

... Anyone know of a decent one with free weights that has a daily rate in this neck of the woods?

Cheers,

Narked

Is it possible to get the residency cert without a lease agreement - I live at my wife's home and I don't want her getting the idea she can charge me rent

Almost a googlewhack if I remember the term correctly

Being able to work from home today

It meant I got a lie in as I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to the office and my wife brought me home a huge slab of the cake her and her friends couldn't finish at lunch that would normally have gone to my nephews

I'm a bit out of touch with the facilities offered by new tvs - can the Samsungs play all video formats - divx, avi, mp4, mkv, etc?

That poor grouper must have really bad karma - every time it pops its clogs it gets re-incarnated in the Airport Plaza Aqauarium

Judging by the drummer pictured in the centre of the picture at the bottom maybe not all the bands are aimed at youngsters

The certificate of residence makes sense

If I can anonymise the example we were given I will - failing that there is a space at the centre of the bottom of the form for my picture if that sounds familiar

Despite all the extra paperwork required I was happy to be told that I was (relatively) young and that the majority of the people they process are retirees (hopefully in 10 years that will be me too )

Not quite so easy as I had hoped to sort the yellow book out - have to get a few more things sorted

They want a copy of my work permit (no problem), a form from immigration that has my picture on it (we have a picture of what the form should look like so hopefully the only issue here is the wait in immigration) and then my wife and another witness who knows me to vouch for me

Oh they also want my wife's tambien baan (expected) and a copy of the chanot for the land our home is built on ( not expected)

More trees to be fed into the Thai photocopying business

Thank you for all the help

Our marriage has been registered (after some toing and froing with translations) and we have a couple of copies of our KR22

Next stop is to get a yellow book and then apply for my driving licence

For me a deal that includes hassle, and ends up still costing more than that I would pay back home for a pizza isnt really a good value in my books.

So pop home and get one...

Indeed. Besides you won't find a pizza in Europe or America for 350 THB. I recently checked a number of places I used to go to in both Europe and USA and the pizzas were around the 15 Euro/USD 20 mark.

It might be possible to get a pizza cheaper than this in the uk but the quality certainly won't be as good as Duke's nor will there be a charitable donation involved

With regards to the size of the US consulate I believe (but could be wrong) that it is possible for a Thai citizen to obtain a US visa at the US consulate but it is not possible for a Thai citizen to obtain a UK visa at the UK consulate (my wife has to go to Bangkok for this)

The British Consulate has a vice consul and an honorary consul and whilst I have found the staff there friendly and professional I wonder what they do all day apart from charging £50 to stamp and sign forms I fill in

I've had it many time in southern US states where it was covered in white gravy that is made by adding milk and flour to the grease that remains from frying. Usually served with biscuits. Nothing healthy about it but it is very tasty.

What type of biscuits do you serve with it - Rich Tea, Digestive, Hob Nob?

Sorry - couldn't resist - I love the differences between the English and American languages

Go to Beer Republic, soi 11, nimman - start at page 1 of their beer menu, order beer, drink, beer, move to next page - repeat until you find a beer you like or you slide under the table alternately order a taster tray

Hopefully the second leg is 1 : 1 as well and it ends up with a penalty shoot-out

Flower delivery may be a Western concept but it has been keeping my wife busy for the last 15 years or so and I'd say that 90% of her deliveries (even on Valentines day - which is most definitely a western concept) are made on behalf of Thai customers to Thai recipients

My wife is a florist in Chiang Mai but unfortunately she does not have an online shop

She does do deliveries in Chiang Mai on behalf of cattleya.com as well as for her own business

Pm me if you need her shops phone number

Thank you for the clarification - one final question - will the yellow book count as proof of residence or will I still need a letter from the amphur / police station / consulate?

Thank you for your help guys,

I am a little confused about the Kor Ror 13 and the Kor Ror 22

I will be given a Kor Ror 22 and immigration will need that and the copy of my uk certificate but I can ask for a Kor Ror 13 and if I am given that then I will only need the Kor Ror 13 for immigration (or does this change depending on the immigration office )
