Re: Thai passport renewal ... 10 years?

My wife's passport had to be renewed this week, and we just had exactly the same prompt service that Dannie Boy had. It was not a one off!

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc

Has any member successfully used the income + money in bank method to renew a non o visa - retirement not marriage? I managed that one year. I was transferring money from the UK on a monthly basis, but as the transfer fees were high, I switched to the 800,000 Baht in the bank. Immigration accepted ...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Elementary - Jonny Lee Millar (Sick boy in Trainspotting) is Sherlock and Lucy Lui is Dr Watson, set in New York. I found it to be a very entertaining take on Sherlock Holmes.

Web page maintenance

Can anyone reccomend a local company in Hua Hin to look after a web page? There is an existing web site, but we need someone who knows what they are doing to look after it.

Re: Traffic fines to increase in September

The last traffic fines I had were all camera surveilance. I was caught speeding on highway 4 and going through a red light in the middle of Hua Hin, both 500 Baht fines. Paying 4,000 Baht is definitely a bit of a deterent.
I suppose the police personal 'fines' will go up as well.

Something similar was created in a book by Tom Sharpe, called Wilt. This was later a movie starring Mel Smith and Griff Ryss Jones in 1989

Re: Thai national coming to visit farang at home (UK)

Word of warning to anyone undertaking this process - it takes 3 months after the appointment to get the passport and visa back so allow a lot of time and don't book your flights before you get it! Just competed the visa for my Mrs to go to th UK. We started here https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa. Th...

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19

From this I would surmise that due to a few no shows, they have 500 doses left over, and are giving away to walk ins.

I asked the heart specialist doc in Bangkok Hospital, but like most of the docs there they are trying to see as many patients a...
