    Thanks for the help, we have a 14 rooms for rent and the laundry is quite the task with those little machines. So I was looking for something a

    little more industrial, I know they have front loading washers of commercial grade for sale somewhere.. I see them everywhere. The laundry

    place out in front of Tony's has one, as well as many others do.

    I'll try the Express contact, but surely with all these commercial laundry locations there has to be some vendor around that is selling new and

    used commercial laundry equipment.

    www.khtcs.com I bought my machines for my commercial laundry from these guys. 

  2. Price just about right for the consumer. Hotels are paying 1400 baht +/- for the duvet cover, 750 baht +/- for the king size bed sheet 100 baht +/- as wholesale price. Some people will jump on my reply just to say something. I know the prices because I have an industrial laundry!

  3. I married a Thai lady I met in USA, we lived in USA for a while then I wanted to move to Thailand to be come semi retired. I guess I am married long enough and living in Thailand long enough to know a lots of things.

    I specially asked to my wife about this topic and she just laughed. You don't pay salary to your GF or wife. Unless you are getting into relationship with a hooker. But other than that of course you should take care of your woman either, GF or wife. Stay away from a woman who is asking you for salary because she can change her job if someone else pays her better salary than you. So she is an unofficial hooker.

    Thanks Joe,  So you are confident that the US passport office will return my current passport with the newly issued passport?  That is standard practice?

    You need to ask them to return your old passport or transfer the visa pages to your new passport. Otherwise they will not. I ve done it. They trasfered the pages. This was back in 1997. I dont know they still transfer the pages or return old passport back to you. But either way you will have your visas. So no worries.

  5. If the hotels paid for, you have nothing to worry. 2000 pound is enough to live for a month for 4 since you are not a much drinker and willing to have Thai food most of the time.

    I don't know how much was it 10 yrs ago but Thai food will cost you more less 80 baht per person.

    I live in Koh Samui and not a fan of Thai food except fried rice and few others. I pay 60 baht for fried rice with shrimp and 50 baht with chicken.

    Other than that, American fast food is cost almost the same what you would pay in Europe or US.

    If you want to eat nice steak than it will cost about 500 baht excluding drinks. Most expensive restaurant in Koh Samui charges 700 baht for the steak.

    Bottled water is 10 baht, grilled beef kebab on the stick is 100 baht, chicken on the stick is 50 baht at the walking street.

    So you will have some idea for the about the street food and can compare what you were paying 10 yrs ago. 

    In Koh samui Taxis won't turn on the meter. They will charge about 800 - 1000 baht to other side of the island and can be negotiated.

    Bare in mind my visa already had the last stamp '60 extension based on marriage' ..how they couldn't put 2 and 2 together and ask me for the right document I don't know

    If you have non O visa then you don't need to do visa run. You need to file a 1 yr stay visa based on marriage at the immigration before 3 months is up. They will give you 1 month extension before they approve your 1 yr stay visa, then they will either call you or give you an appointment to go back to them to get your 1 yr stay visa stamped on your passport. So you don't have to go out of country every 3 months. Actually you don't have to go out of country for years as long as you get your 1 yr marriage based stay visa at the immigration office before it expires.

    I just got mine done today. But I don't know if they have different procedures for different country citizens. I am a US citizen and I know they have special rules or agreements with US government for US citizens like US citizens can own 100% of a company. And I got my non O visa from USA and it was for 1 yr, But I still had to do visa run before 3 months is up in order to keep 1 yr visa. I choose to apply for 1 yr stay visa since I didn't want to do visa run. As I said , I got it done just today.

    Hey ozmeldo, thanks for such a detailed response,I'll check them out. 

     

    Actually, I'm not here for teaching, I work on a niche software technology which one of a thai corporation uses. It's difficult for them to find people from Thailand, hence they hired me from outside. Although one of my job responsibilities is to build the competency in their own organization which I'll love to do.. Probably have to learn Thai. 

     

    They were not able to help me with the clinic or hospital because of the language barrier over phone/email. All they say is just go to any clinic and get it done, everyone says the same. I guess clinics are very common here, something very different from where I belong. 

    I got mine done few days ago in Koh Samui. Just any clinic will do it and it's not complicated. 2 copies cost me 200 baht. You don't need to go to the government hospital nor private hospital . They will charge anywhere between 600-900 baht. It should take 10 mins to get the health certificate . They are not so strict like US or European clinics. Doctor asks you few simple questions, get your blood pressure readings and you are good to go. So nothing to worry about getting the certificate.
