There's so many temples to see, it's easy to become overwhelmed.

Couldn't have explained it better myself. Good on you sir.

Hey mate please please please walk me through how you go about this, especially where the offices are for lodging applications etc in KKC.

Also do you have any idea whether you have to get the certificate from your actual branch itself or will any branch do?

Close to the "action" in KKC - the mind boggles!!!!!

Can anyone confirm that you have to go to your actual bank branch to get the income tax withheld ertificate or will any branch of the bank do?

Maybe a threesome on the cards.

Pacu - pla jaramet

Red bellied Pacu - pla jaramet daeng.

Most common is the red bellied.

Very popular in fishing parks and pretty common in farm dams. Great sport fish and pretty good eating.

Most fish suppliers have them if you ask.

Seems to be missing his left hand - maybe I too would turn to drugs if something like that happened to me.

I have just put down another borehole on our property and am now looking for a submersible pump to supply the water.

Looking for something that can deliver about 2 litres/sec at 80m head from a 200mm hole.

Khon Kaen or Maha sarakham area.

Thanks for any ideas where I can find.

Thai Pipat Hardware in Khon Kaen will have them or can get one for you.

thanks for that and will have a look although we may have found a place in sarakham as well.

I made a decision to buy a lottery ticket and I didn't win. Can the government compensate me for my bad financial decision.

That was my first thought too. Its all a gamble and sometimes you lose. I do feel sorry for some of the farmers as its there only source of income but you win some you lose some. At the same time it seems crazy for the Govt to contract to sell to the Chinese at 60 baht which can only drive the price down.

How can a contract to sell at 60 baht per kilo drive the price down - it is currenlty at about 35 baht per kilo. Please enlighten me as I fail to understand your logic.

I don't know about Udon but there is a Large government fish hatchery in Khon kaen located right about just North of where the 'A' is:

Is this place still open?

I will be up in KKC in a few days and am after a few different fish for my dam.

Well we certainly did our part of bringing down the average rice yield this year. 4 rai and only 840kgs of rice. Must admit that 2 of the rai we didn't even bother to reap as virtually no rice at all and plenty of weeds, grass etc.

Amazing how people can talk of living off the land etc when some of us live ni areas where there is no water to pump and when the rains don't come all dies.

My fish will be very lucky to make it through this dry season as we are starting off with so little in the dams

Anyone know what the latest paperwork requirement for 90 day report is?

Just visited KK yesterday for my yearly extension..

90 days is the same as before: Application form, previous 90-day receipt notice, copies of relevant pages in passport (photo page, entry stamp page, current visa page).

However, everyone applying for extensions had to fill out two new (to me) forms that basically said you have been officially notified of the penalties for overstay (with a list of overstay duration and corresponding years you will be barred from entering the kingdom) and also that you must report every 90 days (maybe with the penalties as well, I just scanned this sheet quickly).

Hint: If you are socially capable (smile and be nice to those with whom you interact), you can ask for your 90 days and re-entry after they are almost done with your extension and get all three done at once (without having to line up for the latter two). Just make sure all your application forms, passport copies (sans the latest stamps of course), and photos (for re-entry) are ready beforehand, and place them in front of you when your extension is being approved by a superior in the back. Then when your passport comes back, either go copy the latest pages with stamps or tip one of the blur-shirted interns to go do it for you (the interns serve as runners for the officers when it gets busy).

Do you require proof of address for retirement extensions?

I OWN a FARM.

And why shouldn't he OWN a farm then wise guy?

I'm not on a retirement visa, but, out of interest, do you have to "report" to the nearest office to your officially stated residence, or can you report to any Immigration Office in Thailand?

Can a member on a retirement visa provide a reply to my question?

As far as I know folks on a one year extension can make the 90 day reporting at any immigration office.

Thanks. What is the official punishment for not reporting within the 90 days?

Shot at dawn for a week!!!!

Anyone know what the latest paperwork requirement for 90 day report is?

If you don't get an answer here, I can move it to the medical section if you want.

Yes please Mario.

Is there anyone out there who has experience bringing up a child with PWS in Thailand, or indeed any information on hospitals, doctors, support groups etc relating to PWS and it's management?

Any help or direction greatly appreciated thanks.

He can't cook either!

Why don't you get an S5 instead?

Love this sort of stuff. We are just about to head up to Khon Kaen after quite a few years in Phuket. Just going to dip toes in the water for a year and see if it will suit our family or not. Not burning any bridges yet but definitely pretty excited about the whole idea.

As for the OP well we are going to give it a go as would forever regret it if we didn't at least give it a try.

You tink too mut.

Has anyone tried Sala Mexical, in the last 2 months??

Yes, why?

How was it??

Never been, so I would like to know if its worth a trip

I frequent Sala Mexicali, and recommend that you give it a try. The food, although not authentic Mexican, is very good - they use fresh ingredients and no MSG. The service, in the last year, has really improved and now they have a crew of very young, sweet Thai girls with big smiles who repeat your order. I recommend you try the mango salsa, the chicken quesadilla and the margaritas.

Went there a few nights ago and was not impressed at all. Very bland and not much filling with plenty of the starches to fill the plate. Nice rustic place though and good parking for a change.

If the highly irritating radio jingle is anything to go by then, yes, PUSCO is still up and running, Peter and all.
 
Slightly off topic - none of the usual radio stations in my car seem to work anymore - just static, what gives!
