I agree with what you are saying, and have already made some investigations. However, my roof is in excess of 360 square metres, I am aware though that the roof protects the rest of the building, and as such is essential that it be maintained. Long ago when they fitted the roof I was away working, so when I came back it was a kind of fait accompli, with no membranes. As happens here, over the years the metal expands and contracts. This in turn moves the tiles, that then leak. I looked at spray foam, both as an insulation and waterproofing, but the cost is exorbitant. The tiles are, in themselves, very sound. So that is why I am tending to go the same way as the Op, to paint with a membrane.

Agreed, sometimes it just isn't worth my time to go through the process, unless, as you say, it is for thousands of Baht.

I have found with shopee that I keep getting a message that it is not available in my Country ( Thailand), or the pages are all in Thai, and I cannot get English. then again, I am also a computer dinosaur...

A German friend of mine was caught on overstay a couple of years back. He was unfortunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was initially charged with working without a permit. However, it transpired that his passport had expired 5 years previously. He did not renew it as he was apparently wanted in Germany on fraud charges.

That is what I cannot work out. They appear to have negotiated the left hand bend, only to lose it on the straight. Aquaplaning over a large puddle maybe. What always concerns me when driving here,( and I try to keep alert for it), is the fact that the innocent driver coming the other way ends up bearing the brunt of another persons incompetence.

I am also interested in doing this. Our roof is showing signs of age after 20 years. A friend of mine in Hua Hin had his done, but they also applied a thin scrim cloth over the tiles as they painted. Sort of like a fibreglass covering. No reports yet on how it is weathering. I have to note that his roof was leaking a lot, so maybe that was the reason was using the cloth as well as paint. Lots of good information being passed on this thread.

Such an archaic, backward state of affairs. I have no intention of travelling there, but if I was in the market for a holiday I would boycott the place. -

my new UK passport collection
AhFarangJa replied to harry94's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Sorry I do not have it as I was renewing my Visa at the same time. However, it it is probably a "local" rule as happens so often here. I remember a while back when applying for my driving licence I had to pay 1,000 baht for each letter of residence in Hua Hin, where other districts there is no or minimal charge. -

my new UK passport collection
AhFarangJa replied to harry94's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I did the same in October. Took both passports, filled in the form you get with the new passport. There is a 500 Baht fee for transfer ( this is in Hua Hin.) Ten minutes later, all done.
