Sad situation all round. Personally I would focus on custody of the kids. As a couple of posters have indicated being named on the birth certificate means absolutely nothing as far as guardianship is concerned unless it is a legal marriage. With the father now dead and the mother likely to end up in...

There are only three types of people who live here: those who married a Thai, those who can't afford to spend more than a tenner a day and those who are barking mad. i am number three. i blend in here. Those 3 types are not mutually exclusive. I am all three. I blend in here. Like everywhere i have...

I think once you hit 2500 'meaningful' posts it's time for admin to give a little back.

So only another 2500 to go.

The information is appreciated. Can anyone advise current requirements for a business visa

Dumping the download manager seemed to do the trick.
Thanks for the assistance guys

Thanks for the advice BB. I intend to uninstall it later tonight.
I have never found the need for one and your comment has only reinforced my decision to uninstall it

Zeitgeist many thanks for your quick reply. I had already tried that solution but to no avail.
However I think I may have identified the problem.
There is an internet download manager pre installed. Could it be that?
Ina while I am going to delete the programme anyway and see what happens

Being far from a computer expert I hope that one of the members can assist. I have recently purchased (in Thailand) a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic installed. On the surface all appears OK. Windows explorer reads fine (English) etc but when I download something from the internet for instance ...

How confident are you that any other Thai bank will adopt a more 'understanding' approach. I'm sure that a little 'tea money' will sort things out. :D I too have a middle name on the account and frequently deposit cheques into that account which do not bear my middle name. This is Bangkok Bank. I w...

thanks! If police or others are not responsive, I guess the only solution is to install speakers ourselves, play louder music which scares away the tens of customers till the place is dead? If they can make noise, we probably can too? Scaring away customers will violate rule #1 of living in Thailan...

I have sent a query to the restaurant contact address so will see what happens .

My guess is not a lot

I often think there is a law in Thailand which fines companies should they dare to reply to any e-mail received

A couple of years ago or so I changed from a "B" to an "O" in Hua Hin without leaving the country

The biggest incentive I can see for using a QROPS scheme is that I understand that you will avoid UK inheritance tax upon death which I understand to be currently 55%. The funds must be transferred to a UK govt approved scheme but this does not mean guaranteed. They are not without risk and restrict...

Roel, I take your point. I was not suggesting this as an opening gambit. BB seems to think his money is already lost. I do not think so. Banks have procedures in place for this sort of thing and i am sure it will sort itself out as there will be a discrepancy between the machine and the customer req...

I would ask them to show you the reconciliation for the atm machine on the day of the problem.
Make them prove that the money in the machine was equal to the payout requests.

In any event good luck
