I can't remember the name but it was in the building opposite side of Sukhumvit Rd to Robinson's at Termimal 21 and I walked through Robinsons and across the skywalk to the opposite side building to get there. The dentist was on the same level and down the back left side and there was a Botox Clinic on the same side. They also did general dentistry and whitening ect.

I had been going to that dentist in Times Square (Thai Smile) over the past 5 years. I had a tooth ache earlier this year so made an appointment to return however discovered that their Time Square branch closed late last year.

They now operate out of Gaysorn Plaza (click on website in the Google search that another poster on this thread provided) , so that's where I went in Feb this year, and had  'deep cleaning of the roots' done. Same staff that were in Time Square branch are not at the Gaysorn branch.

Renew it at least a day late and you get six years, strange but true.

Indeed, has been the case in most DLT offices for many years.

Back in the day when I was looking at investing into things as I did such as property and shares, I wanted something more so I looked at buying wedding cars and I purchased a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and remember the very first day that I purchased it.

 

I was in William Street, Kings Cross driving away from where I purchased it and pulled up at the very first traffics and had my top (convertible) down, it was a sunny day and I was taking it all in. Next thing I heard was someone saying what an ego and I turned my head to the left looking at two guys in a Volkswagen convertible and they were saying what an ego repeatedly and pointing to their VW, I laughed and drove off.

 

I remember seeing that Rolls Royce in Sydney (mid-1980's maybe) with the 4MYEGO plates, my mum was impressed and had a bit of a chuckle.

Thanks Sheryl. 

My Thai sis-in-law (age 50) was diagnosed this week at Ramkamhaeng Hospital with breast cancer. She's not particularly impressed with the assigned doctor so we're now seeking recommendations for a well regarded doctor/hospital for for better care of her situation.

Prefer proximity to Bangkapi area, but not essential, thanks.

I am thinking of ordering a couple of boxes of 25 cigars from overseas, so I should like to hear about other people's experiences. Is it just a matter of keeping the receipt and paying the tax? As we all know all law enforcement is arbitrary here. 

Two boxes of cigars is more likely to be retained at Thai Post HQ at Laksi for payment of tax and collection. This happened to me a few years ago (for only 1 box) and I received a verbal warning from them against importing cigars. Since then I would only import 'sampler' bags of 10 cigars without any problem. However, I haven't done this for over a year or so as my supplier has suspended overseas sales in covid times.

After all this time, the original grump is probably dead.

You may be right, after the Oriental Cafe shifted location in the Emporium about 5 years ago, I haven't seen the grump since. Coincidentally Mr Toad also seemed to drop off the radar around the same time.

if ATO looks at my activities it does look like I'm just temporarily away from Australia

I'm curious as to the circumstances that might prompt the ATO to look at your activities. Would it be solely in the context of annual filing of ITR's and consequential income tax assessment for yourself and the SMSF, or, is it a great overall concern that the ATO has become more like a 'big brother is watching' with the capability to track whereabouts with passports / passing through borders, bank account transactions etc.

Unsure why the Pattaya dealer is lacking more recent stock. However, I have previously dealt with 2 Mazda dealers in Bangkok, one appalling dealership in Minburi and one excellent dealership in Ekkamai at Sukhumvit Soi 65. If buying again I would definitely buy from Mazda Sukhumvit 65 again.

11.3M was for just the house? not land? Threshold for land and house is 50M

It's a condo (not house) between Asoke and Phrom Phong in Amphur Wattana (i.e., relatively high prices/valuation) so unfortunately the 10MB thresh-hold applies.

How else could the primary property waiver be obtained?

I've had a yellow book since shortly after I bought my owner-occupied condo in 2008. I received my property tax invoice from the Amphur last week which includes the 90% discount. The Amphur valued my property at 11.3MB so therefore primary property waiver does not apply as the value exceeds the exemption threshold of 10MB.

My story.

 

I went on Wednesday to the hospital to get my medical certificate (510Baht).

On Wednesday, I got my "Certificate of residence" through my Embassy.

I went to get some passport pictures.

I took all the necessary photocopies.

 

Armed with all the necessary documents, on Friday the 09th, I went to Bang Chak to renew my Thai DL from 2 to 5 years.

 

Arrived. 

She said that I need a booking.

She gave a book and I had to write in my name and phone nr and got a slip handed over with the appointment date.

Next available appointment for foreigners was: 22nd of June.

She informed that I need a new medical certificated as it is only 1 month valid.

 

Back on the 22nd it is.

 

My license expires on 15th of May.

Although your DL expires next month, it seems you might be excused until 30th June following yesterday's announcement by the DLT, i.e., "but will continue extending licenses that don’t require testing and will allow expired licenses to be used until June 30".

What brand cigars have you been buying from Slowlife 420....since they currently only show 'Backwoods' cigars in stock, nothing premium.

Suwat Law in Glas Haus building (9th floor) on corner of Sukh. Soi 25.

Aren't most foreigners restricted from going to Thailand at this time due to quarantine, difficulty in getting jobs etc?

There are tens of thousands of foreigner that reside in Thailand on a long term basis (some on non-B extensions/WP's others on Non-O extensions with external income sources). They need to renew their DL's. If Mochit and Bangchak DLT's are too crowded they can either make an appointment which requires waiting for a month or so, or if urgent they can got to the less busy DLT branches in Ladkrabang/Minburi or Rama 2.

I just noticed it is jumping to the place in a topic where you left off. 

 

thank god all mighty. 

indeed He moves in mysterious ways.

Thanks for the heads-up. As Sawang is one of the approved golf quarantine resorts I'm not surprised they need to close to non-quarantine players.

Should post is here I think: https://forum.thaivisa.com/forum/94-golf-in-thailand/

It's censorship, and regularly happens to the BBC in Thailand also when they broadcast about politically sensitive topics.

So the gap in the partition cannot be closed during the trio3? 

It wasn't noticeable for me, although it was not something on my mind during the brief trip.

Edit: The Drunken Leprechaun, now The Irish Pub, part of the Marriot, Soi 15.

"in the next Soi, 10 minute walk to Trendy, it's an Irish type pub with very nice accommodation above, lift to upper floors." - the next soi is Soi 15 where there's an Irish pub on the ground floor of the Four Points hotel (which is within a 10 min walk to Trendy).
