Yes, the 20bt is for parking and it's hit and miss, sometimes you get charged and other times not. I don’t go there all that often but over about 15 years I’ve been there a dozen or more times and never knew anything about a 20 baht entrance or parking fee. I always just drive slowly as I pass the ...

Several years ago I stopped getting the formal bank statement from Bangkok Bank (the one that takes 7 days because it has to be printed in Bangkok) and instead started making copies of my Bank book. On these copies, I use a yellow highlighter to highlight the transactions coded FTT ( foreign transfe...

Buss also repairs electronics and circuit boards.

My electrician, Buss, works on commercial refrigeration / freezer systems. Not sure if he does home systems but assume he does. He speaks good English and his prices are reasonable. His number is 082-004-8532.

I find it a confusing place to walk around. Not well organised. I agree ! And it certainly doesn’t help that for some unfathomable reason they chose to number the floors in a very strange way. The bottom floor (the one above the basement) is labeled G for ground, I guess. The next one up, normally ...

My extension of stay expires on 22 April and for the last fifteen years or so I've always renewed in early April to aviod the Sonkgran breaks. We are visiting the UK on the 12th of March and won't be returning until May, so I'll need to obtain a further extension before our departure, to aviod the ...

I live in Hua Hin and like you, I’m very curious about updates of when the new Hua Hin Train Station and elevated dual tracks will be in-service. I'm pretty sure that the last official sounding update I saw indicated mid-January, but that is obviously not happening. I’ve recently walked all around t...

Probably the best bet is to call into the Immigration Office and ask them? Three years ago my brother and his wife entered Thailand on 30 day “tourist visa’s”, then decided to apply for Non-Immigrant O visas (based on retirement). Both were over 50 years old. We went to Hua Hin Immigration to confi...

I'm usually charged when I use a K-bank (or other) ATM in a different province than where the account was opened. Same for me. One time I had to make a sizable deposit of cash, forgot to stop at my Hua Hin Bangkok Bank when I started my drive to Bangkok. I remembered when I was driving though Samut...

I used my Bangkok Bank debit card in a krunsri atm today, no extra charge. That matches my experience with krungsri card in Bangkok bank ATM. No charge. My guess is that certain banks have entered into and maintained reciprocal agreements with each other to allow the other banks customers to use th...

VincentD, obviously it's your choice. Whilst it's a pain in the butt, and seems OTT, I've done it several times and it works very well. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: They are making it very difficult to get a 326฿ refund. It must have taken me 15 minutes to get past the rob...

I’ve had a Non-OA which I’ve been doing annual renewals for the last 10 years. Several years ago they started requiring Health insurance from a Thai insurance company to process Non-OA renewals, with minimum coverage of 400,000 baht inpatient coverage and 40,000 baht outpatient coverage. The last 3 ...

According to ThaiMet.... the Daily breakdown figures for November totals up to 131.4 mm. This is against a November average of 103 mm (according to weather and climate.com) That would suggest that we had 28% percent more rain than the HH average for November. I'm sure there are a couple of people o...

We’re certainly getting more than our share of rain the past few days and at the moment it’s coming down fairly heavily!! It sure seems like we are getting a LOT more rain than normal, but I wonder how true that is. Does anyone have quick access to the statistics of how this rainy season compares t...
