Thai National Entering Thailand Passport Validity
marin replied to GinBoy2's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
She will have no problems just coming in. My daughter just came in on an expired Thai passport and Thai ID. It was a Friday two weeks ago. We went from the airport to the amphur office and got a new Thai ID in 1 hour. Then to the passport office on Changwattana for a new passport. 1 hour there and the passport came via EMS on the following Tuesday. -
Done that with the wife and kids. But any liquor is frowned upon now. Had some Scotch and water in a "tea" bottle. Not the same at all as having beer or whiskey along with great Thai drinking food. Yam Wu Sen, Fried died beef, plates of cashews and the such. 30 years ago I worked near Hualumphong and we had bought a house way out in Laksi. No worries I would jump on the 6:45pm train for Pitsunolak get to my seat in the dining car and the chef would have a cold beer right there. As I said the good old days.

The good old days. But a number of years ago a 13 year old girl was raped on a overnight train. The culprit turned out to work for the railways. Goodbye bar car, and now even the restaurant car is gone. Only bad food ordered and delivered in styrofoam. Such a pity as it was good food and in general good company.

You are doing some serious trolling here. Our nice house in the Bangkok suburbs is about 1/3 of the cost of the same house back in the states where I come from. Yes it is in my wife's name but we have been together 33 years so I feel reasonably cool with that. In addition look at what you post with reference to expats in Isaan or Chiang Mai being delusional. You seem to be the one who is delusional. What caused this bitterness?

Sudarat is always on the lookout for money. Thought she could pull off a new party, yet in the governor elections for BKK she and the party were wiped out, getting only one seat and their governor candidate getting wiped out. She has always been closely tied to Karun "Gang" Hosakul the most corrupt MP in Thailand. Glad to see her fading away.

Marriage In Thailand. How to keep myself safe?
marin replied to kingofallasians's topic in Marriage and Divorce
Wow, with your style I would bet your name is Romeo. -
Don't post if you dont know. 30+ years here and for all that time we have used filtered water and nary a problem one. I dont know one Thai house in our village that buys bottled water. Don' forget to brush your teeth with your bottled water. ????

I think, and do mean think it would cost a lot more than that. You cant get any decent labor done anymore at that price. Its going to be backbreaking and you need somebody who knows what they are doing or you are going to end up with a shattered mess. I do admire your initiative and hope you can get it done. I do know that 22 years ago I paid a crew more than that to get a 500 kilo handmade desk up just 2 flights of stairs.

How to ascertain ‘genuine’ extra virgin olive oil in Chiang Mai….
marin replied to mikey88's topic in Chiang Mai
Correct, from a foodie website. At about 45-50°F, the olive oil can begin to solidify, making it look cloudy or crystalized. As the olive oil gets colder, it turns into the consistency of butter. When completely frozen, it becomes a very hard butter. That would be just about 10 as said Centigrade. -

Using agent to renew child / parent visa
marin replied to Kenny202's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That is exactly why I use an agent for my retirement visa and extensions. At CW this is just what they do. One and a half hours to convert a work B visa to an O for retirement. Simple. I was there and it came down just as I stated. No under considerations stamps, nothing. Good luck in your quest. -
Noodle soup mate, Tom Yum is not served with noodles.

Why? Thai's dont eat sliced chicken sandwiches very much. Plus an easy solution. Buy some chicken breasts as I do. Take them home and season them. But them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 180. Take them out and slice them. Hopefully you will have mustard or mayonnaise along with some lettuce, tomatoes, perhaps some thinly sliced onions along with the bread of your choice. Make your sandwich up enjoy and save some money.

is it time to go live in a wooden shack on a deserted island?
marin replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Koh Chang is in no way deserted. In fact it is overbuilt. Next time go to Koh Kut same area but no cars. Only song taew trucks and motorbikes. -

marin replied to Finlaco's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes Laksi, Changwattana, straight easy shot to immigration. 5 minutes if not too much traffic. -

Why not the Red line? 50 baht in a taxi and less traffic? -
Nobody is accusing you of lying, in fact most have bee n quite nice. In reality if you left the country and returned on June 13, you will have to report in 90 days. The computer system does not know you left and was giving you a 90 day report due time with reference to your last 90 day report. The system did not know you have left. Its all good but you did not have to report until 90 days from June 13 by law.
