I bought a couple of these and would like some advice on planting them in a Thai garden and care. The only advice I found was if it was an indoor pot plant in a temperate climate.

On a second note, I just bought two birds of paradise plants. Well two potts but looks like several different plants or several shoots off of the same plant in each pot. Any special conditions. My wife's house is on one of these raised plots with rubble and rock infill. I guess I dig as much of that out as I can and put bags of compost in.

OK no shade where I am unless I build an enclosure and cover it with black netting.

What is it? Where do you plant it?

There already is bore hole on the site. I will try the PEA the next time I visit the area.

PEA is?

I am selling a bite of land so it would be of use the know the worst case for installing an electrical supply as it is bound to come up. Its over flat land following the edge of a mangrove swamp but along an unmade road. The last 100m or so flat solid land. Up to 10 years ago the nearby fishing village wasn't connected so it was a two or three mile route but ten years ago the fishing village was connected so I assume the last 500m is relatively straight forward. This would just be for domestic supply. A worst case would help.

What would be the cost to install an electrical supply to some land where the nearest supply is approx 0.5km away?

May be I am using the wrong term. There are several Facebooks groups that look suitable. It is composing the listing.

I need somebody to help build a Facebook page to sell some land. I am in Surat Thani but I suppose that this does not need to necessarily be anybody local. Trying to find soembody is sooo difficult. Anybody out there?

This group seems pretty quiet but I will start here then may be post further afield if there are no takers. I am in Surat Thani, Phun Pin to be precise. I need to sell some beach fronting land and guess the best place to go is one or more of the many groups on Facebook. But I have no idea how to go about building the page. I need somebody, Thai, expat, who can put the page together. Paid of course. I might as well be speaking Martian trying to ask my Thai wife who lives local to help me find somebody. Any takers?

Can I jump in here and ask a question. I need to re-establish contact with my solicitor who advised me on selling some land owned through a company with my ex wife. Due to changing computers I have lost here email address. I can find her searching the internet but only her address in Thonglor Bangkok. Her name is Suwaphat Sarasalin. Somebody here recommended her but it was more than 10 years ago. Does anybody know her and got her phone number and email address. I don't want to turn up at her address unannouced although security might be able to give me her phone number. She also did my will that needs updating.

I replied about getting a throw away ticket before see this. Has anybody tried saying they intend to extend the visa? To he honest I have only done the poot route once before in 2020 just before covid and I did have an exit flight to KL as I wanted a week end their with the wife anyway. Sod's law the check in at Heathrow weren't interested in seeing the poot.

I intend to buy a throw away ticket. Seems the cheapest I can find so far is Phuket to Kuala Lumpur for $49.

If I intend to stay 60 days but enter as a visa exempt for 30 days with a confirmed fight out, how easy is it get a 30 day visa extension at a regional immigration office thus not needing to actually leave the country and return? Planning to stay in Surat Thani and want to avoid having to actually go to Bangkok or Phuket to do the flight out and back. Married to a Thai if that helps.

I am in Thailand at the moment as a visa exempt tourist but looking at options to stay longer. I was hoping a visit to the Immigration Office might make it easier to understand but I am more confused than before. I gather a retirement visa is a lot easier to get than the marriage visa but the marriage visa has a lower income requirement. I don't want to cash in my private pension or savings due to the low value now. I am confused by the marriage visa. This is how it was explained at the Immigration office. I have to deposit at least 400,000 baht 2 months before applying into a Thai bank account (about £10,000). In addition I have to have of at least 45,000 baht certified income per annum (the form says 40,000). In addition I need to deposit 20,000 baht per month or 240,000 baht per year. I don't understand why I have to meet all three requirments. Any one of the three I could meet but do I have to deposit 400,000 baht and have an income of at least 45000 baht and deposit 20000 baht per month? The form doesn't mention the 20000 baht per month but the Immigration officer mentioned it. The application then takes at least a month. The form in Thai has 12 points but the English translation has only 11. Point 12 says something in Thai and the figure 1900. My wife is expecting me at some point to live in Thailand but at the moment I just don't see it happening as it its seems so complicated. Many people do retire in Thailand so what am I missing?
