  1. The direct debit is a nuisance to set up, but once it's done and after a month you've checked that it's working, then you can forget about it. My water bill is payed the same way. IIRC you go to the electricity company and get a form, take that to your bank, they stamp it and you take it back to the electricity company. Obviously ditto the water company.
  2. It's still more than the present incumbent has.
  3. I have never hears of a farang receiving a tax form How did you come to their attention?
  4. Thank the god of your choice that social media was not around when a lot of people thought the earth was flat.
  5. And why would a Cromwell dynasty be any better? Oliver's son was useless.
  6. Khon Kaen did this to me last September when I renewed my retirement extension. I haven't left the country for 8 years and haven't had a new address here for 20 years, but they were insistent.
  7. Remind me again, how many women have been Secretary General of the UN?
  8. So when can I stop wearing this bl00dy mask?
  9. After the first digit, usually a 6 for foreigners, the next two digits appear to be the changwat number as used in the postcode. I'm in Khon Kaen and my first 3 digits are 6 40. So 610 would be Bkk, 620 Chonburi. Perhaps the next couple of digits are amphur within the changwat.
  10. They've got a long way to go to match Thai bureaucracy.
  11. The one thing all these diplomats had in common was the US embassies. perhaps there's the source.
  12. Thai nationality or not, you'll always be a farang to them.
  13. Was this the one who reportedly said "I can't breathe" as they put handcuffs on him? And will his arrest promote a little after-hours shopping?
  14. What amused me was that the censors replaced the word 'fat' with 'enormous' which to my mind is far worse.
  15. Do you realise that by choosing every 4 weeks. ie 28 days, your date of payment will decrease by 2 or 3 days every month until once a year when you will get two payments that month. eg if your July payment was payed on 2nd July, you will receive your next payment on the 30th July. You will receive 13 payments a year.
  16. Why should British charities do anything? Where are the charities from the rich regional Muslim countries? Or was the earthquake the will of Allah and not to be interfered with?
  17. 6 Christmas cards sent from UK not yet arrived.
  18. Regretfully Blair removed the death penalty for treason.
  19. They can't even live with themselves nevermind with other religions.
  20. And to be even more pedantic, the spelling in Thai and the pronunciation of the two names are very different.
  21. Irish, are you?
  22. Like the Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe this man wasn't British-Iranian, he was Iranian-British. Iran does not recognise dual nationality. Like Zaghari-Ratcliffe he entered Iran on an Iranian passport and so was an Iranian citizen in Iran and thus nothing to do with Britain at all,
  23. I suspect it's purely because of who the owner is.
