Feathering aligns the blades with the airflow to reduce drag and is used in the event of an engine failure on one wing. Fine (flat) pitch would aid braking if reverse pitch was not available.

Just to clarify, this is true. While the aircraft has decent forward speed as the blades disking produce a lot of drag. Just to avoid confusion, a small amount of froward thrust is also produced. So if it was stationary, it would actually be producing more thrust in fine than feathered. It just come down to vectors.

Parliament is always half empty.

Karen News earlier quoted DKBA spokesman Capt Saw Ko Myo as saying that General Saw Ler Pwe was furious with the allegations of the Thai government.

He said the "accusations hurt not only the personal image of DKBA leader, but also smeared the DKBA and Burma."

So he is referig to the juanta as Burma. Good to see.

Og Gezz,

I am looking for a local lawyer who can speak English, I am out in the sticks by my self. I still have a scooter. She has the car ,and the joint account has been cleaned out this morning..... Still looking for a local law firm. Nothing like feeling vulnerable ......

On this following link it appears they are saying that as a foreigner can not own land in Thailand, the land/home is personal property of the wife and not common property and not subject to 50% / 50% share.

She has SMS me saying she will come and pick me up on Friday (today wed), take me to the Amphur for a divorce and with a contract to divide the proceeds of the house up half when she sells it.

I am planning to say no divorce till the house is sold and I agree on the price accepted.

Does anyone have more information on this Red Alert mentioned above please? Does it need to be a court order? Will it be a problem when we go and actually sell it?

Thanks so much folks, any help is great.

OK, so to take some stress off and to make it easy to stay in Thailand for the near future, I should get a new visa form a Embassy out side of Thailand to cover the next 12 months, (with 90 day border runs).

No they are not adopted. Thanks for you help. A very stressful time.

If I have the above visa, then get a divorce, is my visa cancelled as well?

Thanks

Thanks, I have to start getting legal advice fast, before she turns nasty. I mean more nasty !

I know she want a non-contested divorce and have a contract that I get half of the house when she sells it. Sure it may be a legal document, but I am sure it would be a ugly legal battle, and she would spend it all anyway.

I presume, to buy a bit of time, no divorce till house sold correct?

Why can't I get "Red Alert" on the chanot my self with a Thai help?

Is there a Thai name for the red alert?

Mario2008 (Mod) said in another thread:

You also need two witnesses, but mostimes the amphur provides them.

You can go to any amphur you want, so chose one where a lot of foreingers are living

Any Tip?.

Well we are starting the process for at this stage a non-contested divorce. We both want that however her family wants 100% of our assets. Time will tell.

Anyway, planning for a easy divorce, but what about the kids? They are 100% Thai, abandoned by their Thai dad. Age 8 & 12.

Been married for 4 years. I treat these kids the same as my own.

Do I legally owe child support?

Can I legally get access ?

Can I get access into a divorce agreement?

It is not the kids fault that greed is indirectly going to set them back. I makes me very sad knowing that they are going to be pulled form the best school I could afford to go to a nasty local school and they will be taken over by the illirate mother in law.

The misses is going to end up very cashed up, but I doubt any of that will go into the kids future.

Any suggestions?

Our marriage was registered in Bangkok years ago, do you have to go back to the same Bangkok Amphur office where it was registered. Or is the local one ok?

Pizza

While big business is making big money in whitening creams, Thai will fall for the marketing.

Why don't they just drink bleach.

And which air line was this?

Before I shout Troll.

it was only jetstar...

For your own sake, lucky you getting banned from JetStar..... I traveled to Singapore on them once, Never Again.

Well it is my turn to be the Farang idiot .... I know the ear bashing that is going to come, but lets save bandwidth .........

The house and land in question is in her name bought 1 year ago for 6 million baht.

She has done a runner, up to her, I can not stop her.

I believe we could get 5mill pretty easily, and 99% sure we could get 4mill in a fire sale.

I said ok, we do divorce, we sell everything and split it. Basically, house and car.

She said fine, but she is going to sell the house for 2 mill in a week and pay off a 2 mill mystery debt before the divorce.

Can I stop the house being sold like that?

Argh, finally peace .....
