    How you use AC at night?

    1) I'm trying all different things, usually i just give the bedroom a burst around the time i sleep for an hour, then 3 thirty min bursts during the night 27⁰ when i wake up. No duvet needed. Plus fan

     

    2) AC on all night 27⁰, light duvet needed but still wake up 3 times.

     

    3) Last night tried 1) but on Dry mode with average success, sleep was a little more disturbed than usual.

     

    1 is probably best but not perfect.

     

    What works best for you?

    My wife sets it to where she's comfortable and I pay the bill and don't have wife issues all day. :wai:

    foreigners give money to them country, they should thanks. Try to imagine if folks stop to go to stay there, thais would feel desperate losing a lot of money that foreigners bring to their country, because you know that thailand is a tourist country

    people on extended vacation using the ED Visa are not tourists, don't stay in upscale hotels, don't buy souvenirs and don't eat at upscale restaurants every day.

    Can owner refuse deposit after extending a 1 year contract

    in Bangkok

    I signed a 1 year contract in August 2022 to August 2023 . It was 10,000 in advance, and 20,000 deposit.

     

    The rent I pay is 10,000 a month. As I have changed jobs I need to more to another location. August 2023 I told her I would extend but there was no talk about the deposit. And this was just a verbal agreement so no contract was signed to extend.

     

    I have spoken to the owner to give her notice and she said that I will not get my 20,000 back as I would have to wait until August 2024. I explained that I have completed the contract for the first year.

     

    Just a side question I paid 1 month in advance on the first day I moved in along with the 20,000.

     

    i.e. 1st August 10,000 + 20,000. August 31 I paid my first months rent.

     

    My final day would be 31 March. So I would not need to pay for this month as I paid 10,000 in advanced?

     

    Thanks for any suggestions,

     

     

     

     

    If you move the end of March you'd still owe 5 months rent to complete the contract anyway which would be an automatic forfeiture of the deposit.

    By staying past the end of August '23 you basically renewed the contract until August '24. IF she pursues you in court you would end up paying the remaining 50k plus lose the deposit and MAY have to pay legal costs and court fees.

    Best case scenario, she doesn't want the hassle and you run away like a thief in the night OR you put up with the new commute for 5 more months giving 30 days notice at the end of July '24.

    Italian with Non-B applying for AIRE

    Hello there, I'm an Italian citizen living in Thailand for a few years now and I need to register to the AIRE system in order to renew my passport. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is the work permit and a house rental contract enough for this purpose? Is there any agency in Thailand that can deal with this matter?

     

    Your comments will be very much appreciated.

     

    Thank you.

    possible to break a lease contract ?

    Hello

    I read that the new law regarding lease contracts (a few years ago already) only applies for landlords having 5 or more properties they rent out.. Is it so or does it apply also to other landlords ? Is there a precise law regarding the lease contracts (receipts to issue, payments to do and possibility of breaching the contract for lack of maintenance or the landlord) ?

    When having a contract which doesn't have a breach procedure, how is it possible to handle this ? (the above law says the contract can be resumed with 1 month notification)

    if going to court will the fact that the property is in bad state, with frequent problems and partly not usable (bathtub etc..) be taken into account ?

    Thank you very much

    If you go to court as a foreigner vs a Thai the judge will ask you if the property was in this condition when you moved in.

    If you say "Yes" he will call you an idiot and tell you to pay the contract in full and suggest you move.

    If you say "No" he will tell you to pay for repairing the damage you've done and pay your contract in full.

    Degree 'legalisation' process and police check

    DOCUMENTS REQUIRED WHEN APPLYING FOR A THAILAND NON-IMMIGRANT B VISA (Teaching)

    1. Passport or travel document with validity not less than six months

    2. Completed Visa application form

    3. Recent (4 x 6 cm.) photograph of the applicant

    4. Letter of acceptance from employing institute or school in Thailand.

    5. A Letter of approval from the relevant government agencies:

    6. Office of the Private Education Commission

    7. Office of the Basic Education Commission

    8. Degree & Transcript or diplomas/certificates

    9. School license

    Some embassies/consulates require a Police certificate verifying that the applicant has no criminal record issued by authorized agencies in the applicant's country.

    Note: *This list is not comprehensive; the document process is complicated. Embassy & Consular Officers always reserve the right to request additional documents when they deem it necessary, & Immigration Officers reserve the right to refuse the issuance of a visa.

    Note: *It takes about 7-14 days to process the documents for the Non-B Visa. Once the documents have been processed, a teacher can go on a visa run to apply for the Non-B visa from a consulate in a neighbouring country.

    Note: Non-formal schools have different requirements to teach English in Thailand than the ones listed above. The requirements above are for formal Thai schools.

    And then:

    THAILAND VISA EXTENSIONS

    Non-Immigrant B visas are extendable for a period not exceeding one year with the correct documents. In general, for extensions of Non-Immigrant B visas, the Immigration Office in the province where you reside is responsible.

    Note: *An extension for a Non-B visa cannot be applied until the teacher's license and work permits are acquired. The application for a Non-Immigrant B visa extension is only possible in person, and a representative from the school/company must accompany you. Also, a Non-B visa can only be done during the last 30 days of the initial 90-day visa.

     

    Also:

    THAILAND TEACHER’S LICENSE

    A Teacher's License is required to teach in a Thai school, except for universities and private language schools. A teaching license is a 5-year license that looks much like a driving license.

    The TCT, a Thai Government Department (Thailand Teachers Council), is responsible for issuing the Teacher's License.

    A full five-year teacher's license is only issued if you have a degree in education or a PGCE or Teacher's License from your home country. You must also complete a Thai culture course administered by an accredited provider before the TCT will issue you a teacher's license.

    If your Bachelor's degree is not in education, then a 2-year temporary permission/waiver can be issued by the TCT. The license renewal will be every two years if you don’t move schools.

    Applicants who wish to apply for the two-year waiver to teach without a full license must have a degree from a recognized university. The degree can be in any subject and does not have to have any relation to education whatsoever.

    In Thailand, if you are not a holder of a passport from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand, you will be required to take a TOEIC test.

    The TOEIC Test Score is needed to demonstrate your English Proficiency level. The TOEIC Test can be taken at centres across 160 countries, including Thailand. Go to kidsenglishthailand.org/blog//toeic-test-thailand to read more about the TOEIC Test in Thailand.

    Note: *Your school/recruiter should make the application to the TCT, and you should only be asked to provide and sign documents. The application cannot be submitted until the teacher has the initial 90-day Non-Immigrant B visa.

     
     
    A Thai Temporary Teacher's License and Thai Temporary Teacher's License Waiver.

    THAILAND WORK PERMIT

    A work permit allows a non-Thai citizen to work in Thailand as a skilled professional. A work permit is required to teach abroad and be able to work legally in the Kingdom of Thailand. Once the work permit is received, the individual must work only with the company named in the work permit. The duration of a work permit typically matches the term of your contract.

    Note: *A work permit cannot be applied for until a teacher has the initial 90-day Non-Immigrant B visa and the teacher's license or TCT waiver has been granted.

    digital nomads work permit in Thailand:

    As of 2022, Thailand does not currently have a digital nomad visa. Any type of work that is being performed in Thai territory must be done through a work permit. Remote work is currently not available in Thailand and therefore foreign freelancers and self-employed workers are NOT allowed to work in Thailand.

    Can digital nomads work in Thailand?

    Digital nomads or remote workers employed by major international companies are eligible for the LTR visa. It is possible to work legally in Thailand for a duration of 10 years, with an option to extend it further.Sep 4, 2023

    Which visa is best for digital nomads Thailand?

    On 1 September 2022, the Thailand Long-Term Residency Visa went live. It is a 10-year Visa that is also created by the Thailand Board of Investments https://ltr.boi.go.th/ and has taken a lot of elements from the SMART visa. The 10-year Thailand LTR visa is aimed at wealthy expats and wealthy digital nomads.

    Is adultery a crime in Thailand?

    Marital infidelity is a serious offense in Thailand that can have legal repercussions for both the adulterer and the third person. The law aims to protect the sanctity of marriage and discourage infidelity by imposing penalties such as fines, compensation, and loss of career or pension.

     

    So, you're ready for the husband to bend you over as well?

    You run to Thailand because of problems in the UK, magically meet a female in hooker heaven with big problems and want to bring her back to the UK and YOUR problems??

    "Here's Your Sign"  (google it)

     

    On a side note: maybe you should take those English classes with her because obviously weren't born in the UK (unless you're Welsh) :whistling:

    Been donating to the temples for years now, still not healthy, wealthy, lucky or wise

    I have been pouring money into the temples for years now.  Done the ceremonies everything.  Still no good luck.  Not even small a lottery win.  Should I send the boys around to pay them a visit?  A few of those gold statues to repay the debt?

     

    As far as I understand the contract is legally sound.  Meeting of the minds, I give them cash they give me luck.  My side of the contract was delivered.

     

    How about you?  Do you visit the temples often?

    Is this your theme song then?

    No but you WILL be required to drop your pants, bend over and show them your injection site. Beware of the ladyboys in uniform with their "scansticks".
