Stevenl--you have not been here that long ?...... there were no extensions-- you had to leave the country--to apply at a Thai embassy in a foreign land to come back into the country on another 1 year visa--& on that Visa there was no staying in the country after  90 days , unless you were on a working permit (or something like that) , on a 1 year Visa you still  had to leave every 90 days then re-enter Thailand. Thai women married to a farrang were not allowed to even buy a house or land.

Things are a lot easier now then the  before. --I am thinking that the  guy probably had a work Visa --Teacher or something, or maybe connected to someone ---I just wonder what made them suddenly realize who he really was.

 

Their not saying What it was.

 

 

Sorry but you are incorrect in the 90 stay part. (but correct in the property bit)

I arrived to live here in the late 1980 s on a 90 day non -o marriage and have had one year extensions of stay ever since. They were initially based on marriage and later retirement.

I have never held a work permit here.

Knowing that, due to age, my memory is crap I even checked with a passport of that age to verify.

To add... Only had to show 200,000 Baht in the bank for marriage then.

I seem to remember there used to be a smoking section on many flights. Maybe should be reintroduced, for vapers ?

Agreed.

Strapped to the wing would be a good place for it.

One of the questions on the form asks when will you leave/return?  I filled in May 15 - June 19th.  Apparently these dates were invalid.

Assume it was a standard TM13 form. If so I do not see a space for a return date.

At the bottom of the form where it asks for the departure date and 'by (type of transportation') etc the 'TO' that appears after that is for the  is the destination not the return date.

Amazing how fast the whole bridge went down.

If using money in the bank method the statement letter only needs to show the account name and the balance at that time.

Copies of the bank book deposits and withdrawals shows how long the money has been in the account.

Personally have never been asked for the bank letter to contain verification of how long the money has been deposited.

Good old Lazada index again - "AC Power Travel Adapter Converter Plug" rather than 90 degree or just plug - travel adapter normally means you plug a different type into it.  Good find.

Agreed, no idea how I came across them, was quite a while ago. If I do find something  that appears rare or odd and think I might need in the future I save to a Speed Dial page , very rarely have i needed to buy anything on the page but have about 50 items there now. If I delete something I'm going to be in desperate need of the item the day after and I wont be able to find it.

For info... Although these have weird description they look similar to the Haco (but appear to be without the neon) Came across them quite a while ago when the Haco s were becoming extinct. Never bought any of these as noticed Tesco (as they were at the time ) were getting rid of the Haco 2 and 3 pin at around half price. Grabbed the lot so still have a few left.

NOTE The orientation of the cable versus the pin positions is NOT the same as the Haco.  The earth is at the top so check if suitable.

I'm not qualified in electrickery, but would be interested in what the pros thought of my approach. 

 

For the glowing issue I would start by changing the light switch. 

My reasoning is that if it is not completely isolating when it is in the "off" position, then some "seepage" maybe occurring, hence the glow.

I know in this instance it is the N being switched, but a "leaky" switch would have the same effect whether L or N. 

 

To confirm this, you buy a completely new switch and change it.

Otherwise, you test the existing switch by swapping it with one of the other switches that operate the same kind of new light (that doesn't glow). 

If the switch is leaky it will show in it's new position, and the glowing light (with newly positioned old working switch) will glow no more. 

 

Obviously with care, and with the appropriate breakers switched off. Find them by turning the lights on first, then switching breakers until the lights go out. 

 

If the light fittings can be duff from new, who says the switches can't be nearly duff from years of use?

To check if the switch is leaky just remove the  'on' side wire on the switch, that is the one that goes directly to the light fitting.

If the glow disappears then it is the switch . If it remains then it is not the switch.If it is the switch usually caused by ant crud inside

I did not know that,what will you receive as proof you paid tax?

Only the new tax plate ?They mark it in my car book each year when i pay tax.

 

You receive a normal receipt. In the future when you do have the blue book you present it to the car tax office and it is fully updated. People with cars on finance do it this way all the time. Also if done online you do not get your blue book updated 'till you present the book to the reg office at a later date.

Is there a mix up here?

Car blue book or blue house book?

Normally if you buy a car you receive the blue book which shows you are the owner of the car.

In case there is a loan on the car you will not have the blue book,that stays with the loan

company until the loan is paid of.

A copy of the car book can not be used to pay tax.

A copy of the car blue book CAN be used to renew car tax. As said if car is on finance you only have a copy.

I know that you are correct

But we also have a Will naming her  the Benefactor of the 800,000 

So you have a will. How would the bank determine if it was your LAST will ?

Thanks. I'll have a look but since this sits vertical Im wondering how the salt got there unless there's a leak from above?

Have opened quite a few of these units over the years and they almost all look like that after 6 -12 months.

I think that there may be a thermal fuse inside that bit of clear'ish sleeving. 

You might like to check continuity between the tow red wires connected each end of it.

Also the thermal cutout looks a bit corroded where the blue wires are connected.

Correct. 2 fuses shown. The lower one should reset after the temp falls but in our experience (wife sell clothes so has several units) after a while they fail. The fuse in the sleeving, if activated, will not reset and will need replacing. Unplug unit and check with a continuity meter.

Make sure you get the same temperature settings if changing. Available at Amorn and Lazada/shoppee

If you look above the picture of the item ........

If really LazMall then that description will appear under the sellers name  at 'Sold by'

This seller is not LazMall

May be nothing but there is a view that the problem is earth leakage related.

From your photo of the distribution board notice that the trip is set to only 5mA.

This may be too sensitive. Try setting  to the standard 30 mA and check if any improvement
