No Sambal Goreng is correct, as is Nasi Goreng but they're not the same thing. Sambal Goreng is usually made with tofu, green beans and chillies all fried in a sambal chilli sauce.

That's a stretch

Yes you can transfer using Wise and Turkish lira. Note you don't link to your bank, once you set up an account with Wise you can organise a transfer and make a bank transfer to their local Wise account, once they have your money their Thai partner bank will deposit the Thai equivalent you accepted. I have no idea how quickly transactions are completed from Turkey.

I wouldn't dispute that, indeed I haven't, I'm just one of those annoyingly organised people who like to prepare everything in advance, and everything is in duplicate in the provinces.

Did I say it was an issue? I just prefer to download and complete ahead of attending the appointment, it saves time.

Yes. I submitted the paperwork for my 1 year marriage extension yesterday (Songkhla Immigration - Hat Yai). I have digital copies of the forms that I update each year, this year 3 documents were returned and 2 replacement forms given to me and my wife for completion. The 2 forms the wife previously completed 'wife document 3' and the 'certificate from host' are replaced with a single document the OP's 'STM.10 Affidavit of Family Relationship to Thai National' . Additionally, previously 'document 5 - consent to disclosure of information' is now 'STM.11Consent form for Fact Checking' Songkhla Immigration forms are available here, their LINE account GDrive link, their website is out of date. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1-1MyRNP_GH6UK_ZmQPkrXBvIeDKPehJ4

SS Hoodies - awesome

No such thing as a free lunch

Renewal today took 2hrs 30min, busy today and they look a little understaffed, all very pleasant, no problems just rather slow.

Protection from what? It's Thailand not America.

Hanging's too good for him, throw him under the train - twice

In person, just before I took the family to the UK, about 6 weeks ago, but I chat with 'farang' friends in Thailand daily via Line or Whatsapp. These are people I've known for years and have met, I don't include 'virtual friends' on forums. It's unusual to see westerners here in Hat Yai, and certainly not to talk to, so it's only when I go up to Bangkok, which is about every six weeks, heading off to work.

Phuket 28 years ago.

WTF - your keyboard set-up doesn't change when you go to a different country, if you have a Thai keyboard, as I do on my laptop, if I'm in the UK it's still a Thai keyboard! Just enter the password as you did in Thailand, nothing has changed unless you've damaged your keyboard during travel. If your keyboard is damaged and shift+3 no longer gives you a hash, use the magnifying glass and search for Character Map and open, select the hash sign and copy.

I've lost a credit card one, and I've had fraudulent use of a card once. In the instance of fraud the standard bank transaction notification SMS alerted me and I was able to cancel the card, the money was refunded. There was no cost to replace the cards as HSBC Singapore always use DHL to courier replacement cards to my address in Thailand.

I'm sure he's had it upgraded

So the Batcomputer connects to what to gather all its intelligence?

Batman does!

It has little to do with 'empire', you would think if the Dutch, with a GDP a third the size of the UK, can resist selling up and moving into a condo the UK might show a little more mettle.

That's your interpretation, however a hermit is simply a person who chooses to live a solitary life, a withdrawal from social interaction and worldly life, possibly for spiritual reasons (mental health). That could equally be living in a caravan half way up a mountain as retreating to a bedsit in Luton, personally I'd prefer the former, your situation is obviously the latter.

So long as the hermit isn't an anchorite they can do stuff out doors, just solitary, not social stuff.

Does the hermit job description preclude doing stuff?

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." Of course it was a mammoth loss of prestige having to flog off the old embassy compound, you can paint it whatever colour you wish

No ways he would stray that far south, no further than Krabi

Yes, Brioni made in Italy (now +20% tariff)
