    Help Save Rat, blind orphan with HIV

    in General Topics

    Posted

    Hello,

    PLEASE SHARE.

     

    I would love it if you took a moment to check out my GoFundMe campaign. Rat, my ex guitar student who is a blind orphan living with HIV, is in a critical state and needs medical attention NOW.

    Please recommend a decent mechanic in Bangkok!

    Hi there,

    I've been to four different mechanics in the Ramkhamhaneg area to fix various things and every single time it's a shoddy job. I'm not talking about a man in a shack either.

    Can someone please recommend a mechanic in Bangkok that is authorised to do TorRorOr annual checks? And someone who doesn't charge extra for farangs please. There must be someone out there!

    Thanks,

    What To Do With An Abandoned Dog That Has Found Us?

    in Bangkok

    Posted

    Thanks guys - we found someone! In fact, our landlady picked up the dog yesterday and took him to a vet's office where there's a pound (Sukhumvit Soi 77) and he's going to pick him up from there. We would have loved to have kept him but we travel a lot and our place is pretty small. He also gets into fights with the next door neighbour's dog all the time. Wouldn't have been the best life for him at ours.

    Cheers!

    Best Tailor For Shirts?

    in Bangkok

    Posted

    I've been using 'Thai Silk' at the Ambassoder Hotel, Sukhumvit Soi 11, for years. Lovely elderly ladies who do a free fitting. Got my wedding suit made there. They do tailored shirts for 600 baht each and it's great quality. You can walk in with a picture of an Armani suit, choose the fabris, colour, etc, and get it done for a fraction of the price. Takes them a couple days. Go in the side entrance, to the right of the hotel as you face it opposite the 7/11 and it's on your left.

    Hi all,

    We've moved into a new house in Bangkok and the previous owner's dog, which was sold on to someone else, has since returned! The owner they sold it to has packed up and moved, apparently abandoning the dog in the streets. He's a lovely young friendly mutt and we've been trying to find a home for him but to no avail. We have to try to find a dog pound as we have two cats and simply cannot afford to look after him. SCAD have closed and I'm getting no reply from Dog Chance. Soi Dogs are based in Phuket. Can someone please recommend a shelter in Bangkok we can call? I've attached a photo below if anyone's interested. He's very playful, friendly and needs a loving owner.

    British Passport Renewal, C1 Form, Section 1B

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Currently renewing my British passport but have a question about section 1b if there are any experts out there!?

    coffee1.gif

    The question on the C1 form: (If born overseas) Were you naturalized or registered as a British citizen...if so provide details of citizenship documents. It then asks for Cert number, etc. Unfortunately both my parents don't have this form anymore. I have provided all their details, passport no.'s, etc. My birth was registered at the British High Commission in Singapore.

    I was born in Singapore to British parents, both of whom were born in the UK and had/have British passports. Do I really need to fill out this section? Tried calling the Hong Kong passport office who now administer passports for residents in Thailand but you need a bloody recognised credit/debit card to connect the call...don't have one.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Experts Needed For Rare Question Re Multiple Entry Visa

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    I returned from India in January, the passport got soaked about a week after. I haven't left the country since. If I can't use the temp travel doc, then all I can do is over stay and pay the fine until I get my new passport in the post! Gonna cost about 10000 baht! Then I suppose I can take the new passport and renew my non O visa. I'm going in tomorrow to chamchuri square to appeal...must at least try something.

    Hi all

    I have a british passport andhave a dependent visa, my other half has a work permit. My visa is due to expire on Friday. I went to the one stop immigration office today and was told to get a new passport as mine is water damaged and they won't accept it, although you CAN see the visa and it's date. That aside, I need some advice! to order a new passport will take five weeks and I'll leave you to work out the fine I'll have to pay for over staying my visa. Apparently I can get a temporary travel document from the british embassy and do a visa run to get a multiple entry on that one. This will give me time to return and order the actual new passport. The question is: does anyone know which country in SE Asia will accept my temporary passport AND issue me a multiple entry visa back into Thailand? I can take my wifes passport with me.and our marriage certificate, etc. also, how long would it take?

    Please help! I'll call the british embassy tomorrow but they don't give much info regarding other.countries Thai visa policies.

    Thanks!

    Event Spaces, Rooms For Hire?

    in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

    Hi there,

    I'm looking for an event space/function room to hire in Bangkok, preferably Thong Lo/Ekamai/Sukhumvit area. Capacity for 50 people with PA system, microphones, turntables and with a bar. Anyone know of any places? &lt;deleted&gt; bar is too small, and I've already contacted Opposite.

    Thanks,

    HTGR
