Roger that. Even on a small neighborhood scale, watching the neighbor burn off just one rai, thick smoke over his house, with not just his kids inside, but his wife runs a day care for a few other kids, they seem to be completely oblivious to the dangers of anything in life.  Mai pen rai, init.

Smoke they just love it

Just goes to show what the farmers are putting into the ground... and selling it to the public to eat.

 

I stopped eating vegetables from the market also out of season fruit what with their pestercide weed killers and burning air pollution just too much

I have an air purifier it works great, if you have air con you can also upgrade the filter in the air con unit 

I'm in exactly the same position as you what I did was photograph my additional pages and scan them a copy, 

BTW I think the post is back to normal now so I will go back to the paper version

You might blame them if you knew burning is simply pleasure for them just like smoking a cigarette. I come from the largest corn producing nation in the world. I have never seen a corn field burned there and the farmers make a good living. Yet in Thailand it would be unimaginable for a corn field to be left unburned. No one is encouraging them to burn and it depletes the soil and promotes erosion making them poorer. And as you say what they burn off often has other profitable uses; think straw bales, sileage and many others. The farmers position is it's their land and they do as they please and if you don't like it then tough luck. They will refuse any alternative and don't care if they or you are getting sick. If you aren't sure of what I say is true, ask a few farmers why they burn. You will become enlightened when instead of telling a sad tale of nail biting profitability they instead blow smoke in your face. Government programs, education, and awareness will never work because they do not address the root cause. Strict enforcement is the answer, but nobody wants that.

 

Farms are not the only thing being burned. So are the forests and everyone's daily heap of plastic. Anything that can burn in this country is burned to a crisp.

 

Thai's love the smell of smoke, cyanide from burning plastic bags is a bonus

Best to do two separate Wills.

Does the last will I do cancel out the first will did I'm concerned about that 

Don't want to hijack this post but if you have assets in Thailand and your home country would a will in your home country cover it or do you need 2 seperate wills

Does the consulate offer any type of service or help/advice related to setting up a power of attorney for British citezens living in Thailand.

Regarding the ISAs.  If you become a non British resident, you are allowed to keep your ISA accounts (if opened before departing the UK).  However you won't be allowed to add anymore external money to the account.

That's correct

Or bung £20K into a tax free ISA account each year and pay sod all. 

You can't pay into an isa if your non resident it's illegal 

On the above form one of the questions is "do you have health insurance yes or no" 

Can the consular explain the relevance of this question

Thanks.

I assume you only have a 3 month fixed term account, or is it a longer term.

12 month fixed deposit

Just now, Tanoshi said:

Who do you bank with?

Government saving bank

I assume you can't change promotions on the account either 

Like 3 month fixed account updated to a 6 month fixed account because that would be the same as closing the account 

When should I get my book updated every 3 calender months or every 90 days exactly on the day the day before or the day after so many ifs and buts immigration can easy trip you up

Nope - Krungsri will only update with the last dozen or so transactions - maybe fewer

If the account is not used as in my situation and I get it updated nothing shows unless I make a point of making a small deposit

Maybe I should do that

Glad you posted that... in there it says..

Phuket Immigration do not accept income into a bank account less than the required 12 months period.

Which was mentioned in another thread a little while ago. IE No 'leniency'...

 

Why do you need to update your bank book on a regular basis if you update on the day of your application it will show All withdrawals and deposits up to that date
