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.

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.

Both of you seems to be lacking humor; sad – indeed it must be sad to live a life like that... -
TM30 and TM47. self-filling forms?
khunPer replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can do both online; for TM30 you need to be owner of master of the house, it's the duty of the host to report TM30. TM47 (90-days address report) online HERE (however, first time needs to be in person at your immigration office). TM30 online reporting HERE. -
Will be be: Well water to pump > pump to filter(s), you might need more than one > filters to storage tank > storege tank to pressure-pump for tap water, if storage tank is not in a tower > pressure pump to 5 micron dirt filer, before the house pipes Preferably, have the water tested, so you know which filer or filters to use. If you have a high water consumption you will need large filters, which could be sandfilter, carbon filter and post-carbon filter. If your water consumption is moderate to low, you might be able to use small filter cartridges, which need weekly and/or monthly change; for example 5 micron cartridge for dirt, carbon cartridge for taste and smell, post carbon filter that could also be a 5 micron cartridge, and finally preferably a 0.5 micron ceramic cartridge. The 5 micron cartridges can be easily viewable in clear container, when the get dirty, it's time to change. The ceramic filter might last for several months. Example of smaller filter cartridges, in the back a clear filter housing: Be aware that a storage tank can built up algae, so you should have a 5 small micron filter in a clear container between the pressure pump and the house pipes; change filter when it get dirty. I have a storage tank on the attic, where the water if filtered before it reach the tank. In the tank is a small circulation pump – which operaates some 4 hours in 24-hours – that filers the circulated through a 5 micron cartridge, then through an UV-lamp (kills all bacteria), and finally mix the water with air – like an aquarium pump – to keep it fresh; the latter works like a small scale water aeration in a water work.

Retirement Extension
khunPer replied to StevieAus's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
To my understand, when changing extension of stay method, you will need to either: Have 12 x minimum 65,000 baht monthly transfers from abroad plus an 800,000 baht deposit two month prior to your application for extension of stay; you need to prove that you have fulfilled permission for the last extension with the 12 x 65,000 baht. or: 800,000 baht deposit in three month from your last date for extensions of stay, thereafter the deposit can de reduced to 400,000 baht until two month before next application for extension of stay, where it has to be topped up again to 800,000 baht. Keeping a straight 800,000 baht deposit for the whole year is the easy way, if you can afford it. -

I can hardly think anything other meaningful gift for a Thai partner than "house, car, motorbike, gold, money etc."... -
You need to be aware of that you can pay for the house, but might not own it. To own a house – but not the land under the house – the house needs to be separated ownership from the land from when it was built, or being a new house that you are building. For that purpose – building a house – you preferably need a superficies agreement, or any other similar permission from the land owner, plus a building permission in your name and all construction papers and payments in your name. If the house is already separated from the land, and only in that case – do a due diligence before you agree anything – you can be house owner. A foreigner can own a house in Thailand, but n ot the land under the house (investor visa is an exception). You would normally make a deposit, which can be 10%, when you sign an agreement to buy property. Balanced is normally pay when title deed is transferred at the land office, payment method need to be agreed; i.e., cash or cashier's cheque. You should preferably have a separate agreement also for using the land under the house, and that agreement should be registered at the land office on the back of the title deed. It can be a 3- to 30-years lease, a usufruct or a habitation right; the latter two can last for either up to 30 years, or your life, while a lease only can be for a specified period up to 30 years. A lease will cost (you) some tax payment at the land office, while usufruct and habition only costs minor fees. No matter what agreement you make, if a relationship goes south, you might – in worst case scenario – not wish to stay in the house you own, no matter which paperwork you have secured yourself with. Therefore, this good old advice is worth to keep in mind: "Never invest more in Thailand that you can afford to lose".

Yes, I don't need to keep contact with people I don't share anything with, or people that don't wish to keep the contact. I learned at a mind control course how easy it is to mentally "cut" connection. You don't need to be rude, just stop interacting. On Facebook for example, just unfollow – you can still be in the "friends list" – then it's easy stop interacting. If the cut person make comments, just don't reply or give likes. How it feels? To my experience it feels good – with mentally "cut" it's out of my mind – I don't need to carry problems, those I can easily create enough of that myself.

Best Duck on Samui - where have they gone?

Give me a precise location on a map, than I'll snap a photo next time I pass. -
It's depending on the title deed. Many farm-land plots are not real ownership deeds – it cannot be sold – but that kind of land is still traded at quite high prices. Real title deed with full ownership – which is only nor sor 4, aka Chanote – has little higher price par rai. Banks cannot get mortgage on land with low title deeds – the deed says so on the back; i.e., the land cannot se sold or mortgaged – only the house, which might be allowed to be build on the land depending of the title of the deed, can be financed. Therefore the trading value of land can have no value at all, when it comes to borrowing money.

Seems like you mainly look for ladyboys and transgenders in the nightlife – I've seen many older than presumably 35 years of age, but I also visit other places in than the partyzone – there you also don't see many grannies in the go-go clubs... Seriously, many of the transgenders have "normal jobs" where you can still meet them after an age that seems like 35 – I don't ask ladies about their age outside the nightlife, so I don't know if they looks older than their physical age – some of them might also settle at places, where they are not that public visible for foreigners. There is not much litterature about Thai ladyboys, but the book "Ladyboys – The Secret World of Thailand's Third Gender" by Susan Aldous and Pornchai Sereemongkonpol gives a good impression from nine interviews and profiles, including some at high age...
