Re: Essentially Monthly Income Credit Issue + rant

I do have to add when the IO who took my application had completed the paperwork I was asked outright for 2,000bht, I handed over the 1,900bht I'd prepared, nothing was mentioned but the glare, I think, said it all.. Its only small change... Let it go...Just go with the flow... much easyer because ...

Brian, can I just say, being there when you were ‘discussing’ the predicament you didn’t do yourself any favours saying in a somewhat loud, irate manner with outstretched arms “Why can’t you people think outside the box” heckles were up behind the counter straight away and much whispering between th...

Re: Changing from Retirement to Marriage Extension.

My last extension was based on retirement. Any special requirements to change to marriage extension? I should think the paper requirements would be the same, I’ve been on a marriage extension for 12 years, there is more paperwork than a retirement extension but once you’ve done it the first year ke...

Re: Wholesaler in Udon

Being a satisfied customer of Thanapol Pharmacy for both gout and hypertension meds, I would be more sceptical of your local THB740 pharmacy, Chriss. Sounds like they are ripping you off, as I found was the case with the pharmacy opposite Krungthai Bank near the Ban Huay market. I would usually agr...

Re: Toyota Vigo Dash

From the OP's photo, it looks like 2 screws at the back of the bin - a good place to start. Then if you look here https://www.ebay.com/itm/185850040391 there doesn't appear to be any more attachment points. Hope this helps. :D Removing the 2 screws doesn't release the box on any of the sides. I'm g...
