How long  was he a monk?3 days to keep mum happy.Waste of money but hey,the wat gets it's cut.What an abuse of Buddism.What a sad thing  modern Thai Buddism has turned out to be.A complete perversion of what it was and should be.And most Thais are brainwashed from birth about the wrong way to go.

I have one, and , yes it is useful. Don't need Certificate of residence any more etc. Get Thai price access to tourist sites, 

Can use it when booking into hotels etc etc .

as for travel, I don't think it can be used in place of a passport for travel etc. And I doubt you'll get free travel pass to Laos with it. 

Do tourist sites include national parks?

The official of Amphoe refused give me the yellow book, because he said I am not married. In a second visit to amphoe, with the owner of my rented house...all documents, blue book, my passport... He refused again.

Then I ask for a simple certificate of resident, and also refused.
I am in a serious trouble, because waiting for buy a car and new motorbike.

Now I feel pretty angry. Don't know the next step. Because I know I am in the right way.

Thanks detonian

I am in the same boat,local amphur making up there own rules.Residency certs can usually be had at your local immi,at a cost.

So you rekon the Laotians are gunna give up a revenue steam just cos some farang has a pink card,highly unlikely.

Yes, I agree with the OP wholeheartedly, westerners married to a Thai girl should not have to put up with all this hoop jumping, even the marriage extensions and all the hassle involved and the 90 day reporting is outrageous.

This carry on with immi is all there for a reason.The previos rorts that went on for decades that made some visas a joke.Slowly they are closing the loopholes but the quick in out money trick still seems to be going strong down by the sea shore.

Probably he doesn't know there is a visa called marriage visa or something like that...

Well he's got over 400 posts already,you think the penny would have dropped by now.Unless he has been hanging out in the farming forum.

Unbelievabily there are 16 who have paid and he is a third of the way to his goal.Where have i been going wrong all these years.

I bought a Toyota Hilux in 2007 and it was 3 years old.The price was 360k baht and 130k on the  clock.I thought that was expensive,your price is a huge ripoff.Wouldn't it be better to go to the mainland for more choice.

ANZAC day is not a day to celebrate.Also it is not cool to try and make money on the association with ANZAC day

Why do so many people say this? Do you think everyone that goes to the nick gets raped? He's a fuckin murderer mate I reckon most people will be giving him a wide berth to be honest.

Agree with you on the "drop the soap"comments that members think are funny.The murderer is also unpredictable,he will be left alone.

As requirements vary from office to office,i suggest you go to your office and ask.That's what i do.

If you have one, you simply point to it and politely, firmly note you have one already, so you don't want another one. It's a good excuse. 'Course you might have to do this a couple of times but you've gotta be careful not to show the slightest interest his.

 

Sellers can vary. One sunglass street vendor on Beach Rd. (Pattaya) always recognizes me because--to his credit--he can tell that my sunglasses aren't fake like all those he sells. So then he always exclaims, "Genuine!!!" and asks me how much I paid. Then he wants me to take them off so he can try them out. I refuse and keep walking. It was kinda funny the first time but got old, and I suspect a scam in there somewhere. But I really liked a street vendor in Vietnam and bought a few things from him. He worked really hard, riding his bike in the hot sun all day.

 

Not while i am eating,mate.I stuck my arm right under his nose,he must have seen it.Your Pattaya mate was gunna try the ol switcharoo.

I always get it ia builders merchants. I know what i am looking for, but i get some kid, who has no idea, and his boss has just told him to follow us around. I can usually manage to get out with the least amount of hassle from the kid. I usually tell him that when/if i see what i want, he will be the first to know and i will call him.But I'm sure the manager tells him to follow me about, because "all felangs are  thieves. But Saturday was the last straw.

I wanted to change one of our shower heads into a drench head' its simply a shower head but its like a big disc, that literally drenches you in water.

I found the one i wanted, and my wife told him to get one from the store, as we wanted to buy it.He was gone 15 minutes and came back and said that it wasnt in stock and they weren't getting any more, as they were not making them.I said "ok, i will buy the demonstration model"

"cant sell you that one, its for show"

Ok, why do you have something on show that cant be bought?"

"its for show"

Yes, i know, but if some one wants to buy one, you cant sell them one because you haven't got any"

"its for show"

I understand that, but if you haven't got any, and you cant get any, why do....oh never mind i will go to Home mart"

Went to speak to the boss.

"its for show"

"have you never heard of false representation?"

'Its for  show"

"oh, stick it up your......"

These kids become good carriers when you are buying multiple items,nothing fazes them,they only want to help.Some of you grumpys should think about this and they do 12 hour shifts for little reward.

Not clear what goes exactly, but after all the Indian tailor salesforce is in a whole different category, comparable to the itinerant watch/sunglass/kamagra street vendors. Feeling annoyed w/ them is a newbie reaction, I'd say. After a while, they're just part of the scenery. A polite but firm "No" or "No, have already" with absolutely no interest shown quickly brushes away those pests.

The ones that get up my nose are the watchsellers trying to sell me one,when i clearly have one on my wrist and this is whilst eating a meal.These ignorant pricks get the full on louse tirade.The people that know me on Sukhumvit are shocked,never ever seen me like that.Needless to say the watchsellers give me a wide berth,these days.I always dress the same,so i am easily pointed out by others,knowing Induans,they would know where i come from also,a fellow Commonwealth country.

Agree with the OP - hovering sales people are a complete pest. The most annoying part is when they state the obvious, like telling you that "these are air conditioners" when you are looking at air conditioners. Most of the advice they give you is plain wrong, and they'll tell you any lie they can think of if they believe it will con you into buying from them.

 

I just tell them that I want to be left alone to choose for myself, and if they refuse to go away I walk out.

And who do you hurt by doing that,Thai staff couldn't care less.You have lost the game my friend,not them.

Take them up and down the isle and then to the other side 5-6 times, it is good for them to exercise: keeps them fit and away from the phone for 10-15 minutes  

When i am a playful mood i will move a few pvc fittings around,maybe lay one over.Circle around and come back and they are always straightened,always.This is at Global House.Lovely long rows of inline fittings.

No, a minor inconvenience and cutting down on the pilfering helps keep prices low, hence worth it.

 

 

Which is just awfully childish, reinforcing negative stereotypes Thais have about farangs.

 

 

But they aren't treating you like a shoplifter; you're simply choosing to think they are in pursuit of victimism. (Not to say that farang don't shoplift.) They check everyone, not just you, and besides the other ways this is an additional way that also offers some efficacy. Me, I might joke w/ the checker and get a smile--which is a real challenge at Makro. WHAT a boring job that is.

 

Some of the poor buggers even have back braces from bending over so much.I get in the dedicated Cambo line and speak a bit of local Khymer,that always gets a laugh.
