Re: Perforated Drainage Pipes

Many years ago I installed 'French drains' in my lawns using slotted blue pvc pipe, which I bought from a builders yard in HH. I used the blue horticultural netting to wrap the pipes in and I have not had any problems since I did this and that is 13 years ago.

Re: Is Pest Control A Waste Of Money?

Does anybody have knowledge of what use is the 'smoking' that pest control companies do. Does it kill mosquitoes or just drive them out of the area for a while, as whenever I see photos of areas that have problems with things like 'Dengue etc' they all appear to have photos of 'smoking applications'...

Re: Retirement Visa Extension and Transferwise

Sorry, I am still confused if I need to have my 800,000 Baht (or the equivalent in foreign currency deposit account) in the bank for 2 or 3 months prior to my application for renewal of stay under retirement conditions.

Re: Retirement Visa Extension and Transferwise

If you open a 'Foreign Currency Account' say in Sterling then surely there is no need to prove it has come from the UK. I am in two minds as to how to prove that I have the required 800,000 Baht for my next extension due to retirement (in Feb next year). I have renewed this for the past 13 years alw...

Electric gate 'clutch key'

Please, can anybody tell me where I can buy an electric gate motor 'clutch' key. Mine snapped the other day when we had a power cut. Ideally I would like somewhere in HH or an 'online' source.
