Re: Flexible PVC Pipe (solvent weld)

In my experience, the green hose in your picture, with the ribs running the length of the hose is very prone to kinking. My guess is that it is kinking where it does the 90 degree bend until it is nearly closed off. Then a small amount of sludge is collecting at this pinch point until the flow volum...

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc

I didn’t explain properly - my O-A vis will expire while I’m in the UK so I’ll either come back and get the 30 day exemption or apply for a 2-month tourist visa in the UK and then apply for the O visa once I get back to Thailand.

Re: 2022 Songkran Holiday Road Accidents

Petchkasem Road was a car park down here on Saturday - southbound lanes solid for as far as you could see. Luckily, we don't have to go anywhere near it for the next week. I drove from Kanchanaburi to Hua Hin yesterday, arrived back to Hua Hin around 1pm. The traffic was extremely heavy most of the...

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc

So what IS required for Retirement Visa extension as of now if someone has done it recently? Which forms and copies are needed? Non-Imm O, NOT O-A. If it's convenient go to immigration at Bluport and ask them. Yes, if it was convenient, but will arrive from abroad end of next month and will be in a...

Re: Opening Thai bank account - Tourist Visa

I agree that Bangkok Bank offers excellent service and I recommend them to all friends and family that come to Thailand and need to open an account. I’ve had a Bangkok Bank account since 2013 and will share the following: 1. Whichever branch you choose when you initially open your account, you are t...

Re: The Home Air-Conditioner Thread

3 weeks ago I had annual cleaning and service performed on all 6 of my air conditioner units. I used the same company that I’ve used in years past. They charged 500 baht per unit for cleaning, then an extra charge for topping off the gas in the units that needed it. The gas charge is actually a bit...

Re: The Home Air-Conditioner Thread

We've decided to go for the Daikin inverter 12,000 BTU setup which comes in at 17,500 including installation…… Now, I wonder if it is possible to sell the internal part of the a/c unit which works fine rather than just scrapping it. Interesting question about selling the inside unit, not sure of th...

Re: What's Going On - Traffic Chaos

Thank you very much Geko. Do you have any idea what the truckloads of water were for? I know it says, "Prepare to make merit to offer water to you," but what is it for? The water is offered to the Monk as a way to make merit. Water remaining after the Monk passes will become donations to ...

Re: Convert Visa Exempt to OA retirement

No problem coming in on 30 day visa exempt (tourist visa), then converting to (applying for) a 90 day Non-Immigrant O visa “based on retirement”. Then, once you get within 45 days of the 90 day Non-O expiring, you can apply for a 12 month extension. I’ve helped a number of my family members and frie...
