That has me thinking. I recieved my OA retirement Visa, went to Thailand for 2 months, left the country planning to return in September. I got nothing when I left the country. Is my OA still valid?

Thanks

I brought several thousand dollars in Amex travelers checks to deposit in Bangkok Bank. BB want 30 baht per check service fee plus a not great exchange rate. They were nice enough to tell me to go to a nearby AMEX office where there is no service charge and a better exchange rate.

I find cholchicine twice a day to be great! Your stomach will get used to it after a while. allopurinol causes me severe hive reaction. The beauty with cholchicine is you can up the does if you feel something coming on and it is inexpensive

I did not see any Whirlpool's where I looked. Any suggesttion besides the "big box" store on where to purchase. I was not aware ther were self heating models, so that is good new news.

Thanks

I an thinking of purchasing a medium size washing machine for my apt. I have looked at Big C, Carrefour and Lotus. I think I would purchase a Japanese brand such as Panasonic in the 6 -12 thousand baht range. They are a bit different that ones we use in USA so I am at a bit of a loss on things I should consider.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

I have been using the free AVG for several years on my and many other computers with absolutly no problem.

Most Americans feel that way about Dick Cheney!! At least the ones I know and myself!

I deposited several thousand dollars in travelers checks with no problem, no hold back. The BoB wanted to charge 33 baht per travelers check, but they did tell me I could go down the street to the AMEX office and do with no commision and a better exchange rate.

Flying from BKK the 18th to Ubon and hopefully rent a care there for the drive to my GF village. Will be in the area until 21st.

Is there such a thing? Expat hangout?

Thanks

What are the requirements for the mentioned residency permit. I know there is a permit that requires 3 consequtive Visa renewals. I recently arrived. Can I get a drivers license now?

Well I got the bag at Bangkokbank but not the Ibanking. Per suggestions here I will get the document at immigration and see if that helps.

Thanks for all the responses

I have a retirement Visa and started an account at Bangkok bank. I was suprised to learn they would not let me have the internet banking option. They said I could not have with a retirement Visa, a work permit is required.

Is this a goverment rule, bank rule and is there a way around? It severly limits my ability to transfer funds.

Thanks
