  1. Thanks all, some good info there. When I looked in my local Homepro they only had the spray cans for spot spraying, not the big bottles for diluting but buy online is the way to go. Homepro or Lazada, may try the Fipronil but looking at Google translate it seems more for protecting vegetables ? I want a harmless spray to spray in the house, around the laminate flooring edges etc
  2. Anyone know where I can buy termite spray that you mix with water to spray a house regularly, the type termite control companies use ?
  3. I had a rare walk around the night market last night as I was looking for something. Many stalls had vests exactly as your photo.
  4. Shouldn't be a problem. Offshore savings accounts - Residency limitations | Skipton International Ltd Proof of address is required so a bank statement etc They have a basic online enquiry form, start with that, only takes a few minutes. Offshore savings account application | Skipton International
  5. Skipton International Bank. Offshore so no tax on interest. I limit my investment to 50k per bank as that is the maximum for offshore protection. Edit : Conister bank usually have high rates also.
  6. I think there is enough redflags pointed out by the avove posters to avoid them. And as I mentioned above I dont need high risk high benefits, one of my fixed term accounts has just matured and rolled over into a fixed term bond paying 4.5%, that will do nicely for me, secure and guaranteed.
  7. Look on FB HH Buy and sell groups. Put your dates and requirements and wait for the replies.
  8. OK, thanks, I will probably drive up for one night, Friday, for starters. Any accommodation recommendations? Only one available on Booking.com this weekend which is Vipha Ville Resort. I see on the map there is Ngae pizza and bar which I presume is the place you mentioned.
  9. Any small bars in Huay Yang or only restaurants?
  10. Same for me, Barclays will close my account in a few months, I think they said end of June. I do have offshore accounts with Lloyds and Santander but I will lose the debit card I held with Barclays. Not used the card a lot but it's useful to have just in case.
  11. Your a jolly optimistic guy to be around................................ Besides, the bank collapse was days ago.
  12. I live in Hua Hin but will change ownership in BKK so to keep the desirable number plate so not really feasible, however I will ask at one of the agents although the one I went to to get a transfer form struggled to understand what I wanted.
  13. Actually done the deal with her Farang son in law but car is registered in her name............I discovered later I think she wanted a commission for her part in it.
  14. I'm buying a car registered to a Thai national, she insists I only need one copy of the front of her ID card. Another thread on this forum says you need two copies of both front and back of the ID card. Anyone got a definitive answer please as I hope to do the transfer this week.
  15. 42 last night and this morning. Didn't take long.
  16. I thought they had an enquiry desk where I wouldn't have to wait but I know I can't go until Tuesday so I thought someone else may have tried it.
  17. Hi I live in Hua Hin but I'm currently in Jomtien with a car I bought recently. I need to change the ownership in BKK as thats where it's registered and I want to keep the same number plate so I would like to do it on my way home. Will Jomtien immigration do the residence letter anyone know? I have the address slip from HH immigration.-
  18. Yes, thanks, although I wouldn't have left it to the last day to transfer the money back to top up as I would be at the whim of the banks, wise and immigration and if the exch rate hasn't improved in the next 6 months I doubt one more week would make any difference. ????
  19. Yes, a few days, less than a week and don't understand why anyone would want to do it 30 days early. Never had a problem in 11 years.
  20. I don't understand. Prior to applying to renew my extension? Which will be the day before expiry date so it will be the same or what application date do you mean?
  21. October is 3 months ago, not 11 years you muppet. Ditto Digitalbanana.
  22. Thank you, but I don't remember having to leave a balance of 400k 11 years ago when I got my original visa. Here's hoping the exch rate rises in the next few weeks so I don't need to bother.
  23. Good day Looking for an expert to clarify this rule, I can't find any info on the immigration website. I deposited my 800k 11 years ago and never let this account fall below 800k, I have other accounts for daily useage. Early next month I need to buy a car with money transferred from the UK, however, when I transferred cash in Oct I got 43.4, now its 40.4 which is about 1,000 GBP difference on 800k car. So if the exch rate does not increase by 1st February, rather than take the hit I thought about using my retirement visa money and top that back up if and when the exch rate improves which will give it longer to increase from 40.4 ish. I know the rules have changed since I first moved here but not taken much notice as I had the 800k permanently here. One website has stated I need to leave the 800k for 3 months after my latest extension, 28th Oct, so can withdraw 29th January, but must not fall below 400k and be back to 800k 2 months before expiry so 27th August . Can anyone confirm these are the Thailand immigration rules? I don't want to make an error and fall foul of the laws after 11 years here. TIA
  24. Yes Steve, I've already mentioned that my local tax office doesn't deal with reg change, I had to go to PKK, not Pranburi where I tax it. This article states the car reg change has to be done at the DLT where the car is registered, which I did with my last/current one and it still has it's BKK registration and I can tax it in local/Pranburi office.
