I was stopped in my car as well last week at a checkpoint in Hua Hin and pulled aside away from the others. Had my wife (Thai) and 2 kids with me. They searched some bags I had with me for a few minutes. I had a chat and joke with the cops during the search and then drove off 5 minutes later with no hassles.

El Murphy is advertising that it is showing it.

Standard Chartered in Thailand offers annuity plans.
PS These may not be in the form of "true" as I believe they have a life insurance aspect to them but may be worth looking into.

Can any members recommend an online share trading account for dealing in offshore (ie offshore to Thailand such as NYSE) exchanges? My preference is a firm with presence in Bangkok.

Renewed my Permanent Residency book yesterday at CW as it was full. Was surprised that the new Permanent Residency books are
white. Was this a recent change?

Good to hear. NIST certainly has a good reputation and I hope your daughter goes well there.

I also have a son and daughter at the Suk Soi 71 school. We have friends with kids at other international schools like Pattana. On the plus side St Andrews is considerably cheaper than the other "big name" international schools (although I wouldn't say cheap), it's a smaller school with a good "community feel" about it, class sizes are OK (not too big), standard of education seems compatible to the other international schools and our kids love the school. On the negative side the school is lacking in sports facilities and sports options, the school is on a relatively small lot of land and whilst not currently over- crowded there is high demand for new enrolments and it's pupil size is growing. As a previous poster mentioned its best to visit the school yourself as all the schools have their own pros/cons and atmosphere. We are certainly very happy with St A.

If you're prepared to pay for good quality then July Tailor in Soi Salang Daeng is very good.

This is Thailand and she knows that only politicians with her surname are ever found guilty and sent to prison.
Yes this will tend to happen in many countries when the Prime Minister sells a large, prime piece of Crown Property in the capital city to his wife in a rigged auction at a price significantly below market valuations. Of course in the case involving her brother the prision aspect never eventuated.

Tamvine, yes that's correct (and therefore no need to carry the red "Alien" book) and have immigration stamp both your passport and blue PR book. As also noted by one other poster, completion of the arrival / departure card is now reversed (ie same as a Thai traveller) whereby on departure from Thailand you complete both the arrival and departure card, they remove the departure card and staple the arrival card into your passport. On return to Thailand they remove the arrival card.

Travelled from BKK to Hua Hin this morning without encountering any check points (and to Chumphon this afternoon).
