I have lived in Thailand for 3 years now and all my mail is being forwarded to a friend's address in Australia. When he has time he rings me on Skype and we go through my mail. A good friend and he is happy to continue to do this for me. I look after him financially to thank him for his help. However he is getting older and I really would like to take away the burden from him of doing this if I can.

I would like to know is there another way of getting my mail forwarded to me at a reasonable cost other than through Australia post who charge in my opinion an excessive fee to send mail to Thailand. What are other Aussies living in Thailand doing with their mail?

Any sensible replies are appreciated.

Could someone please help with a link to the Police order re extension to stay in both English and  Thai language?

I have used the search function and cannot find it so if someone can post the link I would appreciate it very much.

I would like to see the information re the combination method income/money in bank to ensure money in bank does not need to be seasoned. My Thai wife wants to look at this information in Thai language.

Thank you.

Does anyone know a simple way of removing oil stains from a concrete driveway? My wifes son has unfortunately left his chainsaws on the garage floor resulting in some nasty oil stains.

Any help is most appreciated.

Does anyone please know where I can buy Arnotts shapes in Thailand. I miss them a lot.

My annual extension of my current visa is due on August 22 this year. Previously I have had funds in the bank 3 months prior to this date to comply with immigration requirements.

This year I am going to the Australian embassy to obtain an income letter to submit to immigration in lieu of money in the bank.

My question is does the income letter from the embassy have an expiry date as far as immigration is concerned. Eg. Will immigration only accept this letter if it is say 90 days old or is the date you get the letter acceptable  for say one year.

I know I can ring my local office but I have an opportunity to go to Bangkok with a friend early on Monday morning who can take me to the embassy as I have never been before. This will save my wife taking time off work to come with me also.

If any knowledgeable members can assist I would appreciate your help please.
