Much too close to home

Mine is the same as my pink ID and social security number 🙂 Consistently inconsistent, welcome to Thailand!

A gas station owner in Dublin was trying to increase his sales. So, he put up a sign that read, 'Free Sex with Fill-Up.' Soon Paddy pulled in, filled his tank and asked for his free sex. The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10. If he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex. Paddy guessed 8, and the proprietor said, 'You were close. The number was 7. Sorry. No sex this time.' A week later, Paddy, along with his friend Mick, pulled in for another fill-up. Again he asked for his free sex. The proprietor again gave him the same story, and asked him to guess the correct number. Paddy guessed 2 this time. The proprietor said, 'Sorry, it was 3. You were close, but no free sex this time...' As they were driving away, Mick said to Paddy, 'I think that game is rigged and he doesn't really give away free sex.' Paddy replied, 'No it ain't, Mick. It's not rigged at all. My wife won twice last week.'

Hmmm, are you quite sure it's 15 digits? The standard Thai ID format is 13 digits arranged like this "X XXXX XXXXX XX X". Unless something has changed recently of course.

Mine is 13 digits in the same format as the Thai ID number, starts with a 0 (zero).

I got my TIN millennia ago, followed by my Social Security number, then my pink ID. All had different numbers of course, the systems just aren't fully integrated yet. When I went to Social Security to set up my continuing to pay into the system when I stopped work, the nice ladies there adjusted my SS account to use my pink ID number. The TIN can stay separate until someone asks me to change it. The numbers "should" all be the same, just like it is for Thais, but foreigner IDs are such a relatively new thing that mix-n-match is the rule of the day.

IMHO Inverter definitely: - Reduced energy consumption. Importantly for solar, no (or very much reduced) start-up surge. Inverter units did get a bad rep due to being rather less-than-robust when it came to power surges and creature ingress. These issues are largely now solved.

Isn't it illegal to drive without a shirt??

A quick update. No real surprises, the bank actually knew what was needed 🙂 Did the letter the day before going to immigration and a passbook update on the way there (after withdrawing the $$$ to pay immigration). Interestingly, this year there was no home visit (Pathum were known for visiting every year for marriage extensions) but they still needed a new TM30 address report (I'd left the country earlier in the year, maybe that triggered it). There's also a handy-dandy way to check your application status using Line. Works OK, although it just says "Pending" until the actual approval comes through.
