Thailand, hub of amazing festivals...

I've hear about a saying among professional girls: "4 inches, 4 minutes, 4 thousand!"...

There are numerous available, this image of invisible hearing aid is from a Norwegian manufacturer quickly found by search... Worth also to look at Danish Oticon and Widex, and there is also a Swiss manufacturer.

As you are only permitted 90 days stay on each entry, you shall not do 90-days reports, as you leave the country after 90-days and the report period resets to 0 when re-entering. However, you landlord shall fill a TM30 report.

Where I stay in Thailand – Koh Samui – the number of men with or without a live-in Thai partner, seems to be less than ladies, with or without a live-in Thai partner, and foreign couples. The latter both in young age and as retirees. In my local community there seems to be equal amount of each – yes, I have counted all that I'm familiar with – so one third foreign males. On the island as a whole it might be fifty-fifty. I even know of one very attractive young lady from my home country with a middle aged Thai boyfriend and both American, British and French couples. Ops, forget to mention Russian and Ukrainian couples, there are numerous of those now.

To my knowledge there is no proven way to reverse the problem – other than getting used to it and ignore the high frequency tinnitus, and learn to pay more attention to what is spoken – I also suffers from it from many years in pro audio business. There are a number of alternative treatments that you can find searching the Internet, probably they won't harm anything, so might be worth a try, if you find one that seems usable. Today there are very discreet – almost invisible – hearing aids available, if that becomes the solution.

2 months deposit + 1 month rent in advance is the law. If the landlord don't accept, find some other place.

4,200 baht in bar fine, he must be a quality tourist... "The tourist told police through a translation application that he had gone to a beer bar in Soi 6 and paid a 4,200 baht bar fine to take the woman to his hotel."

I've always heard the opposite. Normal (small) water pumps for a house have a water pressure around 12-20 meters, which is not a lot of pressure. Having a fine filter in front might limit the water intake for the pump. while you might have some kind of grille, depending of where you pumps the water from.

In my home country that kind of people were called "village fools" and was quite common; of course in small numbers, but at many places. Now they are rare, as the high-tax social welfare system takes care of them (puts them away). In Thailand it's rather the family that needs to take care of a "village fool". There are a few of Thai village fools where I live on Koh Samui. One of them has been around for about 15 years and begs little angrily for pocket money. I've been told that he don't need it, as he is from a rich family, but live his own life as village fool; however, when he don't angrily begs, he sometimes gets 10 or 20 baht from me, which he use for drinking water and Krating Daeng (Red Bull). A couple of the fools have disappeared during the years I've been living here, and a newcomer showed up. He is walking around without shirt up and down the main road all day long talking to himself, or his invisible followers. In the beginning he was sun tinted, now is black. He is harmless, but don't appear friendly. Sometimes we walks on the street instead of the side walk. Foreign "losers" I also see around the island. Yes, people sitting in front of a convenient store – looking like the homeless life-style folks back home – they might have a better life here, then in a cold northern country, but they should be send home. If they begin to go berserk – which has happened – police will normally take care of them; I presume it then end as an embassy matter.

Wow...

Where have your learned that?

If you have a non-immigrant O-visa valid for one year – not an extension of stay – you can leave and re-enter as often as you wish. At every re-enter you will permitted 90 days stay. In practice you can obtain 1 year and 90 days stay, leaving every 90 days and re-enter. As you will only be permitted to stay 90-days, you will not need to make a 90-days address report. The address report resets whenever you leaver the country and re-enters, at which time it re-starts counting the 90 days from 1. You always need to register by TM30 in principle. In practical it has been mentioned in other threads here in ASEAN NOW forums that if you don't need contact with an immigration office, it doesn't matter with TM30-registration.

Suggestion from changing wrong spelled name on birth certificate: She should start at the district office – to my knowledge the tessa ban office – where she is born, and have her birth certificate updated. Thereafter the house book where she is registered. Then she should be able to have the ID card updated; she might get, or need, a letter from the tessa ban office to bring to the amphor office, where ID cards are issued. Finally can travel passport be updated.

I know of some living up there, so at least a few. They seems to have been fully accepted.

That would, to my knowledge, be the normal correct way to do it. You need the pressure from the pump to get the water through a fine filter that can remove small particles, there might not be enough pressure on the government water supply to do that.

Cinnamon is suggested as nonprescription medication in this medical study: Guidelines for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

It's a benefit to use two bank account, one for the deposit for immigration purpose, and another for daily transactions. With online banking it's easy to move funds between the two account – i.e. you don't need a physical bank visit – so there is a clean deposit when applying for extension of stay and the period a deposit shall be in place.

No, according to the police order a TM30 is not required when visiting other provinses and returning to the same earlier registered address, and re-entering with a re-entry permission to the same earlier registered address "within the valid period". The latter I understand as the permitted length of stay, which can be until the extension of stay expires. So, when a new extension is granted, as new TM30 report might be needed. A unofficial translation of the police-order: 2.2: After the householder, owner or possessor of the premises of the hotel has reported, as defined in Article 2.1, the same alien has left the premises and returned for another stay within the valid period, the householder, owner or possessor of the premises of the hotel does not need to make another report; Source link. However, about September (2023) a new online TM30 registration system started, an d no data from the previous system was transferred to the new system – "...They further stipulated that property owners previously registered on the old system would need to re-register on the new platform" – so at the moment you need to re-register TM30. When extending your stay, the immigration will check for TM30 online – in the new system. Source link. Furthermore, some provinses' immigration office might not accept the police rule; that's the case where I live, so leaving the province or re-entering, a new TM30 is needed.

From the article: Following the incident, a kind-hearted individual contacted the school offering to provide the promised fried chicken meal to the students, reported Sanook.

Retirement extension – because it's less paperwork, easier to administer and I don't need a wife to be present, or being married at all...👍😉

I'm quite sure not, it merely says that you suffers from lack of humor...

No, this – – will certainly do; you better get used by style of dry Scandinavian humor...

Last night – I pass two-three times a week at night as frequent nightclub guest – if you need a daytime snap, please respond, then I'll get down there next time I shop in Makro or Lotus's...

Both of you seems to be lacking humor; sad – indeed it must be sad to live a life like that...
