Laos tourist VOA cost at Nong Khai Friendship Bridge

I appreciate that it may depend on who you get, what day of the week it is etc., but can anyone confirm the cost of a tourist VOA to Laos for a UK citizen , if there's a preference for a particular currency, or if dollars, baht or kip is accepted? I try to be prepared for any eventuality. Much of th...

Re: Waiyapat

Nong Prajak Rd seems a significant clue, but perhaps over time, a name change , or a name the locals used without it actually being the official one. I'm not certain how local administration works in town, but more rurally, areas/villages are led by the Head Man, who would certainly be aware of hous...

Re: Essentially Monthly Income Credit Issue + rant

Change the payment day to avoid future issues I didn't forget your suggestion. I've received a reply from my main pension provider, the one usually paid at the end of the month. Whilst they do pay early at Christmas, UK bank holidays, they won't vary the payroll payment date otherwise - as I expect...

Its only small change... Let it go...Just go with the flow... much easyer because you can never win...

SCB would not pay me any interest on the 800,000 baht in the bank..... ....... but still no interest from the SCB because I am a US citizen. How strange. You know any reason why there's a problem because you're from US? I'm with the SCB too, British and maintain at least 400,000 baht for marriage e...

After all the heavy stuff, how about some humour. On the subject of 'thinking outside the box', this clip reminds me of somewhere.

Re: Essentially Monthly Income Credit Issue + rant

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 t...

STWW. A response from you was inevitable. There’s no doubt you are a fountain of knowledge about Immigration and its’ procedures. What a pity your replies have that arrogant, know it all, put down style. You should take a leaf out of the Bob Helm book. This unnecessary sentence rather sums you up – ...

Essentially Monthly Income Credit Issue + rant

I feel the need to get something off my chest to somebody and ranting at my Thai wife probably doesn’t achieve much in her understanding, or appease me. If nothing more, this may be a heads up for anyone using ‘monthly income’ to apply for an extension. Some background first. I’ve been here over 20 ...

Yeah, very much of the same opinion.
Just wish I could come out of Makro's (and Tesco's, Phen for that matter) without my clothes smelling of the openly-sold fish and meat.

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

Thanks for pointing that out. Perhaps I'm being naive, but I would have expected that an agency allowed to operate under that name, would have accurate, updated information.

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

A friend of mine has pointed out this FAQ and answer still appearing on the Thai Embassy website. I appreciate that nothing is clear at present, but can I presume this would have to be negated by this new tax legislation if it did end up affecting pensioners? Whilst I’ve suggested to my pal to ‘hold...

Well, the sites up again, after I deleted various data. I appreciate that was a wealth of info on what to do, but I wanted to also see if it was a general problem, or just me.

Website Blocked

I'm suddenly blocked from accessing the Bangkok Post website with a message "403 WAF protected. Sorry, you're not allowed to access this page or file". Originates from ByteArk. Can't think of anything I've done for a website I regularly look at. Anyone else?

Excuse me, but is there a requirement to register a will at the Amphur? Perhaps you've done that because land or property(building) is involved, or for extra 'peace of mind' that your partner won't be given a runaround?

The Naga Heart Clinic, a specialist, quality centre, which was located on Udon Dutsadi Rd, a few doors up from Udon Christian School, appears to have closed down completely. Its’ premises have been vacated, the building is being refurbished to, it seems, become ‘something else’. Must have been a maj...
