"Do I complaint about anything here?  Damn right I do!  About the smoky air.  About the heat.  About sloppy workmanship that can appear during a simple, routine project."

 

So, you get upset when others complain about their Thai experience...but it is OK for you?

 

DA!

Do not pick which part of his post suits your agenda. Post the whole post then make your comment

I renewed my retirement extension  last week at Phayao. I had a Non O. Insurance was not required. 

It appears that the Nation news is very old. This has been known to people who visit places like Tops and Marko many hours ago

There is no AFL to watch.

I was in Phayao shops today. Phayao was due to finish on 20/04. Macro and Tops had signs saying 30/04/2563

Thai Immigration Department have seperate systems. They have  90 Day reports, TM30 reports, Extension reports and probably a few more. They are all individual systems that do not communicate with each other. That is why we get so frustrated with Thai Immigration. Other countries it is all integrated but here it is not. We  that live here full time have to accept this.

All offices have different decisions to other offices. We have to learn what our local office accept and bend to their rules. It is a pain in the rear end but if we want to live here  that is what we have to do.

Can you get the payment payed into a transferwise account or does it have to be a bank account?.

The exchange rate paid from the Australian Government to your Account in Thailand is a lot better then you get from Transferwise

Here is the latest.

It was supposed to rain here in Chiang Dao tonight for the 1st time this year and I was getting excited . . . where did the thunderstorm go ???

Over 4 months without a drop of rain. Only Corona helped to keep farmers away from setting up fire. 

We got good storm at 0100 this morning near Phayao. Heavy rain for 30 minutes. We had no wind or electric outage. 

Bye Bye Miss American  (Thai) Pie..............

No import duty but all other taxes including VAT.

That is great news. I always loved to buy their produce. It will be sometime before we venture north from Phayao.

The Thai government does not do many tests. That has certainly kept the curve very low. China has taught Thailand very well

In our small village about 13 kms from Muang Phayao any new arrivals from other provinces, Thai or other have to self isolate for 14 days.
