  1. 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. 2 months deposit + 1 month rent in advance is the law. If the landlord don't accept, find some other place.
  3. 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."
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Where have your learned that?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I know of some living up there, so at least a few. They seems to have been fully accepted.
  10. 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.
  11. Cinnamon is suggested as nonprescription medication in this medical study: Guidelines for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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...👍😉
  16. I'm quite sure not, it merely says that you suffers from lack of humor...
  17. No, this – – will certainly do; you better get used by style of dry Scandinavian humor...
  18. 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...
  19. Both of you seems to be lacking humor; sad – indeed it must be sad to live a life like that...
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Organically beef from Tops, might be Australian imported and little expensive...
  23. 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.
  24. I can hardly think anything other meaningful gift for a Thai partner than "house, car, motorbike, gold, money etc."...
