You don't seem to be able to read and comprehend what the op writes. Please point out where the op writes about the other teachers breaking things, I can only find reference to one.

What a coincidence, I plan the same in a few weeks time and wondered the same. Thanks KhaoYai and InThailand

Nothing compared to China. Ok, not abandoned there, never even moved into but 100 million empty apartments is a lot. They don't look nice, no one will ever move in and they will be knocked down one day without ever having looked nice or lived in

He probably doesn't but site hits do show a clear trend, shopee is going up, lazada doesn't, dropping a bit even

You should post evidence on https://pantip.com/search?q=Lazada Lazada doesn't care about the small irrelevant foreign community, I bet they don't check here. I have read where a lazada representative suddenly posts in a thread at pantip though so it seems they check that. All of you with scams should post there. Then, at least Lazada would know you're active with your complaints

Easy. It is not legal for everyone. It is legal ONLY for people who have reached a certain age and online businesses cannot guarantee the age of the ones they ship to. Delistings will continue.

Opposite story of days gone. In 1991, my ex wife posted an ems letter from the post office in bangkapi at 3:30 in the afternoon and it arrived at my door in Sweden 17 hours later. Including time difference = 17 actual hours of travel time. Unbelievable

Fan unless temperature is above 27

Nope, land department refuses to put anyting on a title deed if owner is a minor. The workaround is to put it there before transfer. I have tried 30 year lease. Was refused. Any change to a title deed where a minor is the owner require court order.

Yes, my daughter owns land in huaykwang in Bangkok, she was 2 years old when transfer was made. It is easy to give to children but difficult to take away. The land department will not put a lease on the chanote if owner is a minor, I tried. Must have court order was the stern answer. so, Juvenile court will have to order. That's difficult, must prove that's its good for the child and still very very unlikely to happen.

Fan of course, except in the hot season, say 3 months per year

By getting a residency, also easy if you qualify

Thanks for that information. Don't have a wife but I have a daughter, sole heir. Do you know if the same thing apply wold apply there?

You should be safe indeed. But I wouldn't say no risk regardless of if you have shared custody in both countries and have the "permission to take the children out" letter from the mother. if the mother decides she wants the kids back one day, there are 2 laws at play: habitual residence of the kids and latest court order date. She'll quite easily and cheaply get sole custody in Thailand but a French court will hardly enforce it if you have clear video evidence that the mother wanted the kids to stay with you in France, several videos better. That and habitual evidence Then, unfortunately, don't take the kids to Thailand until they're 12 or so and can speak for themselves. They need contact with their mother so not easy. I'd pay for the mother to visit them in France if they want and you can. Beware of cutting the mother off from them, not unusual that the longing for the mother creates an opposite reaction later in life. No bad talking the mother ever. About going to Thailand? Only risk would be that there's an arrest warrant registered with immigration, highly unlikely. Don't tell anyone and no "old" places of course Should be fine, you're lucky ????

Marriage doesn't need a lawyer but you should bring an interpretor (so that you don't sign any other papers "by mistake"). Doesn't have to be much, but must be someone that ONLY YOU know. The to-be wife should meet the interpretor the first time 1-2 hours before going to the amphur.

31 years now, I mostly agree. The only ones I've seen watching ch5 are military personnel and families / relatives and some farmers. But there are 2 noticable exceptions: Ch5 was IMO good (the best?) during both the Tsunami and the flooding.

Your colour copy is still only a non certfied copy. Will never be accepted. Try the "legal copy" of the birth certificate. The birth certificate is called TR1, can't remember the designation of the copy. It's printed on a form directly from tabien raat (house register) and the printout contains everything except the signatures at the bottom. Then they sign and stamp it at amphur. Get it translated to English, then go to the Consular affairs department at MFA (used to be on the second floor of the "passport building" close to MFA, don't know if it's there any longer). Maybe they only have a bad photo copy of the original birth certificate with signatures scanned. It could be impossible to get a better original. But: One good quality legal copy signed and stamped, one signed and certified official translation, I would think that's accepted. Consular affairs department(s) don't certify copies, only original documents. That in itself is also a confirmation that the document is a valid copy of a birth certficate

I thought the same, mummy came back with an original in May last year though. Have a look https://aseannow.com/topic/1255120-thai-birth-certificate-inquiry-how-true-or-any-one-gone-through-the-same/ Age = how recent matters of course. Michael

Hi, I needed one more birth certificate for my daughter (born 2004) when I applied for permanent residency some 10+ years ago, not possible, could only get a copy. BUT!! I asked my daughters mother to go and get a birth certicicate when we moved 600 km away from each other in May last year (2021-5), Wang Thong Lang in Bangkok where our daughter first was registered. I fully expected her to come back with another copy but she came with an original. Absolutely identical. We now have 2 originals and 2 copies ???? Copy is not quite the right word actually, the ones we have are the legally valid substitutes, printed on the correct "copy" colour form paper (looks slightly different from the original birth certificate though) I don't know if something has changed, or if the reason was better. Mummy said she had lost the original and mummy and daddy was separating. Here's a photo of both side by side as proof. Michael

Have bought quite a bit from aliexpress over the years, generally pretty bad quality but can be good too, many scammers so never buy anything without checking ratings and especially!! Always read the one and two star ratings before buying. Check shop ratings and never buy from a new shop. Delivery 2 weeks to 2 months. I've had several cases where seller doesn't care about color / type or size ordered, they just send that they have in stock. I always open up a case with Ali for these cases and the normal is that i get 40 percent discount, expensive for a useless product you can just throw away. Some things are actually more expensive on aliexpress than shopee and lazada, others cheaper. Must always check all three. Don't trust what they write of course, false advertising is rampant. I've never had to pay any taxes. Some buys from aliexpress have been great, very happy with my 66 inch ceiling fans (feel sorry for the Thailand Post workers delivering them on motorcycle) ???? I've never had to pay any taxes And last, don't select product and then look for the cheapest shop selling it! Check ratings and pay a bit extra if you have too.

I have both bought and sold motorcycles in other provinces. You're selling so you need to provide: Signed "Bai Own" - transfer paper, signed letter of attorney, 2 signed copies of your ID card (both front and back), signed copy of your (blue or yellow) tabien baan (address page and your name page), and the blue book. That's all. I have bought 2 bikes without checking them the last 6 months and that's what I get every time (well, the green book in my case), it's always enough. Now, they say 2 signed copies of ID card but they only use one at DLT so I suppose one should be fine. They also say signed tabien baan but I didn't have it once and they transferred anyway... And most Thai's give 2 signed letters of attorney, always blank! (except the signature). I have no idea why, one is enough. And I'm sure all this can vary a bit ???? I have no idea how people who don't prepare for an easier life do, i.e., foreigners with no thai id card, no tabien baan but most of them have themselves to blame. It's so easy to do. And you're Thai so no problem ????

There's a lot of misinformation here. Perhaps you and some others spreading it should learn a Thai saving that translated to English goes like this: Those who don't know speak easily. Why don't you keep quiet if you don't know. We are talking about children here

You don't need full parental power to take a child out of Thailand. You need formal permission from all legal guardians issued by the amphur. Immigration only checks that paper.

A kerry driver just dropped a package I bought at lazada containing a 9,000 baht Sony headphone over my 2 meter high gate a month ago. I was standing by the window putting my mask on and saw it. 2 meters straight into the ground. I videoed walking to the gate and talking to him, video 30 cm from his face ???? he did not deny it but was otherwise not apologetic. Issues like this are no problem though, the delivery company will pay and deduct money from the salary, I have forced that once 2 years ago (3,500 baht). I didn't have to this time, the head phones were really well packed in bubble wrap. . I think service is slowly going down over time both on shopee and lazada and clearly also with the delivery companies. They get quite a lot of bad Thai reviews on the Internet now a days

Not at all. Please Richard.
