My sister who cannot have children wants to adopt a baby from my Thai wifes sister. My sister does not live in Thailand. Can anybody tell me what the procedure is for this and would it be the same as if she had gone to an agency to adopt a baby for instance. Many Thanks

One is in carrefour but rarely works although they have renewed it so its not so bad,but the other day i did see a Thai man get his card eaten by it and was on the phone to the bank complaining. There are 2 in north Pattaya Tesco but everytime i have been there they were shut. The only one that seems reliable is the atm outside Homeworks in south Pattaya.Its so old that you cant see the screen very well but it has been working evertime ive been there.

Just looked on their website.Cant see any promotion that gives you 1 years validity with a top up

Are the banks still charging 150bt for international withdrawals?(except Aeon)

I didnt know that but just tried Krungsri atm(my bank is Siam) and yes you are right.Thanks for that info will save me looking for SCB atms in future and leave me more time for drinking.Not tight fisted but just hate giving banks any more than they already steal.Lost £25,000 in a bank collapse 3 years ago.Hate them all with a vengeance.

Dont use my phone much as i make most calls on my pc so dont top up much.I have had the same number now for 10 years so i dont want the sim to close but it means i have to keep topping up when i dont want to just to keep it open.Is there any way to increase the validity time on 1-2-call?I put 100bt on and it only lasts about 2 weeks. Thanks P.S If i change to Dtac simple you can get 1 years validity with the first top up. Does anyone know if you can carry your old number over to Dtac? Thanks Again

Numchai on Suchumvit did mine 6 years ago and all the cables running from compressors inside the house had rotted in the rain where Numchai hadnt done their job properly and just wrapped them in masking tape.Just had another company round 2 months ago to do it all again,cost me another 5000bt.Dont go to Numchai. The guy told me they just couldnt be bothered and had just done the easiest thing.I was surprised because i always thought they were good but i wont be going there anymore.

MM,thanks for understanding exactly what i was talking about. Joekicker,i have had 2 visas running at the same time in my passport before as i returned to the UK for a few weeks a couple of years ago and i knew when i returned my visa would only have 2 months to run so bought another non o multiple entry while i was there.When i returned the guy at immigration just looked a bit bemused for a couple of seconds then i was on my way. This visa is good for 15 months approx(if you make last visa run the day before it finishes) but with 90 day visa runs of course,which i detest. I would just love

I currently have a 1 year spousal dependency extension to my non imm o visa that runs until March 2012. I am planning to go to the U.K for a couple of months at Christmas but dont know whether to get a re-entry stamp to keep my visa open or just get another non imm o in the U.K. The reason being is that i will not have the 400,000bt in the bank to renew the marriage extension come March 2012.I know i can still keep the 1 year extension running should i wish as my friend knows someone in immigration, but they charge 19,000bt if you dont have the 400,000bt in the bank. So my question is can i

Does anyone know where you can buy a bathroom extractor fan with delay timer? I have looked everywhere but to no avail.A few years ago i did manage to get a small one in homeworks that was made in Spain but doesnt extract very well and is nowhere near as powerful as the big ones without timers.The guy in homeworks told me back then that they were going to stop selling the Spanish ones as they kept breaking. Also about 6 years ago when i was looking for the same thing a Thai man who was working on my house managed to get hold of a delay switch that he fitted to a normal extractor fan so that

A guy i know has already had an accident in his pickup by crashing into 2 separate Thai men on motorbikes within 10 mins of each other,while he was pissed out his mind.They nearly killed him after they caught up with him.Thought that might stop him drinking and driving but no he still regularly gets behind the wheel after 9 or 10 big bottles of leo.Asshole!

Mine went off on Friday last week for 24 hours.Rang them and they fixed the problem without coming round the house.Last time i had a problem i rang the call centre and they promised to come and fix it but after waiting in for 2 days never turned up and when i went in the shop to complain she said they had no record of me ever ringing and its better to go in the shop and sort it.Yet this time when i went straight in the shop to tell them it was off the guy said no you have to ring the call centre. They want to make up their fuckin minds.
