Re: Thai Baht hits highs, BoT to take measures

Not having a government can be a lot less damaging than having one!!

Re: TM30 Slip in Passport

I hope this isn't off at a tangent...but if I am staying in my own house (company name, with a blue book) on a tourist visa, do I need to do a TM30? And will I need one to get a 30 day extension?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates

Just a quick note about international Big Brother I needed a new International Driving Permit, so got some photos done at Boots (here in the UK), just in the usual DIY photo booth. 2 days later, getting all the stuff ready to apply for Thailand Pass, I thought I'd check if the Morchana app was still...

How will they get here? By horse? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: 'Tis a good question. Stuck here in Blighty since dashing back from HH last March, we're grateful for any glimmer of hope to be able to get back to see if the house is still standing.

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

I'm sure this will be a silly question, but does anyone know whether it is actually possible to get Hua Hin, as a "tourist", at the moment? If I go to Phuket and quarantine for 10 days, can I then get up to Hua Hin?

Re: Electricity and Water Charges

Can I ask a quick question here (actually two)? I'm stuck in the UK at the moment, with little obvious prospect of a return anytime soon. We have the utility bills on direct debit - which usually works very well. But...PEA hasn't billed for July and August, although I can see online that they have r...

Re: Hua Hin dual-track rail project to go ahead

My understanding was that China was funding the northern link (ie BKK to Lao). The southern link (HH and down to Singapore) is funded by Japan.

Re: Bars in or near city still open?

Happy to report that most restaurants appear to be open still. As quiet as October, but open. And thanks, we had a really nice pizza.

Re: Bars in or near city still open?

We're out in Soi 6. Are the restaurants in town open or have they closed too? Just fancied a pizza this evening, that's all. Thanks.

Re: Tessabahn annual property tax

A house registered in company name is liable to quite a lot of tax. My annual bill is 15k. Please, does anyone know if this can yet be paid online?
