  1. Perhaps I misled you... but I live well out of town to the North and have always preferred getting things done in the A.M.... travelling home in school traffic and the likelihood of being told 'come back tomorrow' being the reasons. I see they are managing to foist the need to pay for 2 certificates on you... a money making exercise for a service that has no official price... it is not so long since I achieved 2 licences with a single residence certificate. I have 2 jobs I will be needing to do there in December and I certainly do not look forward to it.. even tempted to get an agent mys
  2. Usual advice is midweek about 10am..... avoid days after a holiday. I have used a single original Residence Certificate every time for 2 licences, renewed at the same time... although Jomtien try to sell you two..
  3. I think similar issues....
  4. They must be expecting a Christmas rush eh!
  5. I very much doubt it. The flight to Samui will leave from the Domestic terminal and you would be expected to clear immigration and Covid checks in Bangkok. At the moment that includes an overnight stay to wait for the results of a Covid clear test.
  6. I worked in Poland years ago and was attending some function at a Civic building and wandered into a large room where a small kid was playing this huge grand piano with some teacher watching. It was astounding and I stopped to listen for a while...
  7. Ahh , that explains why the Pound is taking a dive!
  8. I certainly have not got a modern water meter here. Even when it stopped working a gnarly old guy just messed with it rather than replace it. Don't see much point trickling water, my usual monthly bill is only around 45 baht and my Mrs spends all day flushing toilets and running taps. Switching the water off if away for several days also protects my pump as I expect the tank could run dry and I have no idea if there is a cut out or other safety feature. Had a snake get in there a few months back and it locked the pump up for a while, got bloody hot, but didn't cut out. Unwound the small
  9. I got a Qatar A380 ex BKK some years back..... the aircraft was brand new and one great flight in Biz Class.
  10. My first thought too....... Yes a trigger level of high consumption, well figured out. The top man being at the Glasgow COP 26 has spurred them into action! Turn the water off when you go away, I usually do, beats coming back to a flood.
  11. I lived under 5 miles from Bury.
  12. Pity you can't straighten it out......
  13. The first book of the writer I ever read...... The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
  14. Heaven knows why I remember this..... Old Yeller
  15. I think the way you do things now is good...... I am expecting changes to the retirement extensions based on a Non-Imm-O entry in the future, to require insurance or monetary guarantee for medical cover.... just an inkling.
  16. Well as we have discussed before, there are a lot of drainage grids one has to watch out for on a push bike with narrow tyres.
