like the sheet board is 4X8 ft finding a ladder the length you want should not be a problem but more difficult will be finding one you can lengthen and lock one step at a time based on my looking at local ladders

yep, doubled down to see what else I might catch. it was a joke that turned out to be a troll got to be a true idiot to think that 3 AA batteries could start or even had a chance to start a motorcycle

and use your brains too the suggestion of 3 AA batteries was certainly not a serious one and I am sorry you took it to be, my apologies for the inconveninece

oh yes 3 AA batteries do post a real danger the real danger is you taking 3 AA batteries seriously, stay safe

That is what tape is for, have you ever heard of tape?

In distant Mae Rim cattle can be found grazing in fields and farmers found cutting roadside and unused field grass to take home to their cattle. Some of the wonders of life outside the city.

Drop the emotions 100% and just focus on getting the problem fixed. Yes. "The problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem." Famous guy.

really Mika you can just use 3 AA batteries

Hard to imagine that. I have been going to Ram for decades and always to see a specialist, never had to go thru a general doctor first, just go directly to the specialist's clinic at Ram or make an appointment with it by phone. Same thing at Lana. Do you know what kind of specialist you want to see? Sorry, that is just not true unless perhaps if you walk in and can not tell them what specialist you want to see.

thingy, oh lord

Talk to a local Bangkok Bank Branch Manager and let him/her know the ATM situation and I bet they would remedy it. 7/11 is CP which could be contacted probably via a customer service route on their website? Both big companies who would be unlikely to risk their reputations by inaction.

really depends on how much some is, that determines how much effort is justified

Pon Yang Kham - Thai/French Butcher. Only beef products. Canal Road just south of the Huay Khao intersection on the west side. They supply many of the hotels and restaurants in the city. You can order anything from one steak to a side of beef. Excellent quality IMO

Didn't notice the electric bill increasing?

I often get taken right to what I ask for, if they do not start to take me there I ask again for help and most often get it. Sometimes it is simply an issue of the first person I ask really does not know but by asking again they find somebody who does and they walk me to it. But it does help to speak some Thai, if all you do is walk in and say the name of the thing you want some may not be too inclined to respond or know how to respond. How do they respond to somebody that says only "plastic pipe" or "underwear" or "tape"?

10-12 cm of render under the beam seems like an unusually large amount A couple of centimeters as Crossy mentioned would seem more usual

I think he knew what he was buying and is generally happy with it. I also think that wanting to modify a few things in a newly purchased house is not unusual so his wanting to consider changing a couple of things is quite reasonable. More generally, there are existing houses in Thailand that are not built to "Thai standards". How do you know his house was built to Thai standards? He only mentions two aspects of it which may, just may, be.

This thread is not about the general population in Thailand, it is about farang issues, for a farang house, where the owner/occupant has stated that the Thai standards are not what he wants.

Suggest that you check that information again. Recommended to me by US builder, stairs should be 7-11, 7 inches rise up and 11 inch flat. 7 inches is less than 18 centimeters so your 20 cm could be a bit high. I built 7-11 and am very happy with it. I find stairs with narrow flat and big rise to be uncomfortable. I also had the same issue as you with a bathroom under the stairs and a horizontal beam I wanted to walk under. It is a puzzle with some fixed data and some variables to manipulate. My solution was to change the level of the landing but keeping it high enough for an okay ceiling height in the bathroom. Result more stairs below the landing than above but for me that is not a problem. But since you have not posted a photo I do not know if you have a landing or not! If not, putting one in may help.

Why are you talking about transfers to Vanguard now? You were asking about transfers from Vanguard not to Vanguard. I have made 12 such transfers each year. I do not know the up to date requirements but when I filled out the Vanguard form, I used Chase as the intermediary bank and that data remains the same today. You could talk with BKK Bank Thailand to ask them for their intermediary bank for transfers from US banks, then ask again at a different location to confirm. Completing and submitting the Vanguard form takes time so getting the data correct would be a wise priority. There may be a way around the Medallion signature guarantee if you are overseas, check details on Vg website. I got my signature verified at the US Consul in Thailand and VG was happy with that.

For international transfers from Vanguard direct to Thailand, not through Bangkok Bank New York: Chase is/was the intermediary for Bangkok Bank in the US, put that on the Vanguard Form, J P Morgan Chase Bank, CHASUS33XXX. That is a few years old so you might confirm with Bangkok Bank to be sure that the information has not changed. Vanguard has a special form for International Wire Transfers, once done you can send future transfers to designated transferee without making a new form. My recollection was that was a form submitted by mail.

Many legal and ethical ways. It is really not a monstrous amount. Family land long held is a common source.

So you got a business then you have a work permit so no problem. No work permit? Do you really think you are such a large attraction? Silly or do you belong in a sideshow?

how much are those quotes? Include dirt leveling, machine sand tamping, concrete border and grass? or?

Okay so here nobody should be put down. Posts with incorrect facts, poor judgment, suggesting illegal, unreasonable or unsafe behavior should be left alone and not challenged because the poster should not be put down.
