That was the case late last year and early this year regards TM30.

Not sure that's the current situation.

Someone dealing with Jomitien may update. 

A TM30 should not be required 

 

It is and my wife and I specifically asked about this at the TM30 desk.

This topic has been covered many times on the forum.

slightly off topic , but once a business has been set up and registered  , have users found it fairly straight forward to get a business bank account ? 

I had no problem opening one 2 years ago with SCB, who I have held personal accounts with for 17 years. However, the will not give you a company debit card which complicates things when you need to make a purchase. I therefore have to use my personal account debit card and claim it back, then present the receipt to the accountant. The bank required a copy of my company registration and stamp

Yes, it is a risk factor for gastric cancer. 

Thanks Sheryl, he also stated that it is common in Thailand as was transmission by food.

My wife suffered from this and it was discovered with an endoscopy procedure.

The specialist told us that when left untreated it can lead to cancer.

Perhaps Sheryl can confirm?

tried 3 times - rejected every time. what is wrong with this system? Some people OK'd in few  minutes some - not?

Same with me - rejected 2 times even though I have put the correct dates. I did it the previous time with no problem.

Will try again tomorrow.

I buy both Typhoo and Tetly tea bags on Lazada or Shopee Both are around 200 baht for 100 bags.

No complaints, and delivered within a couple of days.

Thanks for that Jai, I have also seen Thai grown Ceylon tea on there which I am going to try, but I have enough right now🙂

I'm an American and I used to drink Lipton, then I tried Twinings Earl Grey, now I know why some people say Lipton is just brown water.  

Twinings is my favorite, available all over Thailand.

I do like Earl Grey, but I am looking for an English Breakfast type tea and could not find any amongst the Twinnings selection. I agree regards Lipton, it's just about palatable if you use 2 bags🙂

Google Nookies Thailand , go to website ,he has 300 bags of Typhoo tea for 350 Baht,

maybe you can order some other goods he has a wide variety ,and shipping is very

reasonable compared to other sellers 

 

There is a shortage of some Farang goods ,Beans been one ,it's all because of whats

going on in the Red Sea area , the shipping has to now go around the cape ,takes longer

and is more expensive ,so importers are holding off importing , I could see that scenario

happening so i stocked up with a lot of goods before prices went up , better than money

in the bank at 1 % interest. 🙄

 

regards worgeordie

 

 

Thanks for that Geordie. Same scenario with coffee last year and i now get excellent coffee from Hillcoff (lazada) which some helpful posters on here had recommended.

👍

Can anyone recommend a Thai tea which is roughly equivalent to English breakfast tea?

A lot of the options seem to have disappeared off the shelf ie Lipton, Ceylon, Typhoo, Tetley etc.

The few available have also doubled in price. just bought some in big C extra Pattaya for the equivalent price of 6.50 GBP and there was a large sticker on it with the price of 1.79 GBP😖

Now, I don't mind paying a bit extra - but combined with the fact it is getting hard to find!

So, Thai tea anyone?

Do you grow them in full sun or in part shade?

Are you planting them in pots or do you grow them direct in the ground?

 

Ours get full sun in the morning then part/shade in the afternoon Encid.

A lot of internet information suggests they like full sun, but full sun in Scotland (where I used to grow) compared to here is a lot different!

Thank you for that reply. And appreciate the suggestion to take them out during the wet season, I actually did not know that but it does make sense. I will look on Lazada. but if you see any that you think would be nice, please send me a link.

https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/jpplantgardens/?spm=a2o4m.pdp_revamp.seller.1.573c64b9BIvPcE&itemId=4703850033&channelSource=pdp

If you go to that link you will find the shop we have used, browse for what you like and note that if you get good tubers you can divide them and get many more plants in the future.

Good luck, let us know how you get on!

These look fantastic , where did you get your tubers?

We are in Khon Kaen

PS: I thought Dahlias are grown from seed but I know little about them other than that they look great and my Dad used to grow them in the US, so I would love to give them a try. 

Hello Sirineou

We bought them (tubers) in Chiangrai  then more from Lazada and there are many to choose from on there. Do some research on Youtube, but they are easy to grow.

You will have to lift the tubers and store them in a cool dry place during the wet season. Sorry for the late reply as I was away and this site was down.

We have just planted some and they are sprouting already.

I collected my passport at DHL Express Suvarnabhumi Airport on 6th Nov.

It took less than three days from UK and that was over the weekend.

Called to arrange the pickup instead of it coming all the way to my home so I could go straight to the airport. Found them very helpful and no glitches.

Same applies to when I sent it to UK.

I have just had to do it and I am on a marriage extension, they want you to do a TM 30 report.

I have lived in Thailand for 16 years, travelled in and out on a regular basis and now they want it after telling me years ago that I did not have to. It took me 2 hours to do it at Jomtien and I noted that so many people are going to the counter (10A) and getting rejected -wrong counter and paperwork!

There are other threads on here but I don't have time to quote right now.

I have not seen it mentioned here but OP should consider getting blood/glucose level checked for daibetes

I hand carried 4 at different times coming through Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Two of them were nearly new, and I only got asked once what was in the case and never stopped.

I had receipts with me in the event they tried to charge me.

Bangkok Pattaya does the OGUK (expensive)

Never had to do the step test there, so not sure about that.

There are some members on here that have done the medical in Bangkok who will hopefully reply

Two part epoxy available on Lazada, paint and spray varnish to seal.

I have bought all the materials here in Thailand
