I got the aircon on virtually 24/7, i'll just pay the bill whatever it may be, ''i can't put a price on my comfort'' In the 17 years i've lived here i can't ever remember it being sooooooooooo hot.....

What a beauty, well i think they are lol

Making up for lost time mate 😄 but i am a firm believer in us farangs helping each other out where we can. I've got some great farang mates here in Korat living local to me and without their help at times i would be f***** Long may it continue.....

Point taken but the car driver did'nt appear to be exercising any caution either judging by the speed he was traveling at imo.

Mythaivisa Ltd, 310 Moo 8, T. Gerng, A. Muang, Mahasarakham. Not sent off yet as i need to get some mugshots which i'm getting tomorrow.

I just told wifey and she called him and he denied he asked for money to visit you and give you a quote, maybe some confusion, did he know he was recommended by an existing customer ? Maybe he was trying it on, TIT

Well he is Thai what a wanker, i would'nt pay the c*** either, i can't quite believe his attitude.

Regarding the renewing of your DL that would not surprise me TIT, Korat DL Center would not accept my Yellow book as proof of residency and made me go to Korat Immigration to get a COR when renewing DL WTF !!! As i'm only doing the passport renewal at the mo that conversation has not arisen but she's only a phone call away. Som's tel no - 0934938170

He has his own gear that he uses on my gaff, petrol strimmer for the grass and petrol hedge strimmer/hand shears for the rest. Talk about a lawn mower, i've never seen a Thai gardener use one, they all seem to use strimmers/hand shears. Good luck and i understand your ''it was killing me trying to do ours'' comment, its just tooooo damn hot to do the garden here in Thailand.

I have the use of a Thai gardener that sorts my gaff out. He only speaks Thai and i don't so my wifey deals with him. He does a reasonable job but not really up to English standards but what he does is ok. Wifey has just called him and he's willing to come out to your gaff and have a lookie and chat with you if you speak Thai or your wifey/GF if you don't. His TEL number is 0857683220. Pic of my garden and his maintenance work....

Beautiful intelligent animal, just love em

Here ya go..... Hi Cliff Standard size passport would be 11.5k, this is the total cost, there are no hidden fees. You would need to mail the power of attorney to us, with you passport and photos. Kind regards Som

Yes indeed they did and should have got a point

Is their quote of 12K bht for a standard passport ? Here's Som's email to me and my reply.... Hi Cliff The price to renew an Adult UK passport is 12000 THB. You would receive a 50 page passport. The whole process takes around 4 weeks. If you would like to use our service, please send us your address and phone number so we can mail you a power of attorney document to sign and return to us, so that we can act on your behalf. Kind regards Som Hi Som, Thanks for your prompt reply. I really don't need a 50 page passport the smaller one would do. You mention the cost of 12000 BHT for a 50 page passport, does that include the fee to UK HMPO and any postage costs as i'm resident in Korat, Nakhon Ratchasima and would need to post everything ? Kind regards, Cliff

Having now looked at the full details of this move i would say that i'm totally against it for all the reasons you have mentioned.

Great to hear as they deserve the business imo, phone her up mate she's lovely. I am certainly looking at using more of their services in the future.

No problem, they require the standard 4.5 x 3.5 white background which i'm off early next week to get from a local photo shop.

I initially contacted them by email and i got replies the same day. After Som sent me the forms i had a few questions so i phoned her and she was so helpful and lovely with her replies. I'm impressed........ I don't get to keep my passport, they need it for transferring the info over but its no problem as the time taken to get my new passport is circa 4 weeks. On requesting the forms i received from them the following day, EMS posting.

and so am i

Well i contacted them and i have to say i'm very impressed at their service, quoted me a price of 11500bht for a standard passport renewal despite the price having been increased in the UK they are not increasing their price. They sent me all the forms including a power of attorney and all i have to do is sign all the forms and return to them, i don't even have to complete them they will do for me. They even supplied me with a new black pen would you believe lol I'll update in due course but based on my current dealings with them i would not hesitate to recommend them, Som the lady i'm dealing with is an absolute helpful little darling.

Thanks mate, as a lover of aircraft and ACDC vids don't get much better than this

Great song and artist, love it 👍

Love it.......

Brill mate, saw them in the mid 60's at Southampton's Top Rank.

No chance of it ever being enforced imo but i agree G what in heavens name are the PTB thinking when they come up with these stupid rules/regs.
