Do they check status of that? Just concerned it would look fake....like I can make a couple bookings, print all confirmations (like two weeks in BKK, two weeks in Chiang Mai, then Krabi or something), and cancel ASAP, but just concerned that would fall through.

 

 

I have no idea what they actually check on.

The worst they can do is refuse the visa,not a big issue just fly back and plan your next move.

Seems you are going to worry yourself into an early grave

Book a hotel on Booking.com.

Get a print out,then cancel the booking.

Similar to what you are going to do with the air ticket. 

Seems reasonable.

This place makes me laugh..

Topics involving saving money get people very hot under the collar.. lots of abuse and snide remarks from lots of extravagant sukhumvit farangs that do not save money at all... 

 

What is also interesting is that these types of threads always get the highest view counts. No doubt this thread will get 6 or 7 pages of replies from people not interested in saving money (of course!) and thousands of views.

I save my old scrap paper to keep the door ajar.

Wouldn't want someone stealing my shoes. 

My Driving licence does the same.

Sticky  rat trap pads have worked very well.

12 pigeons down a few more to go.

The remaining of the group are congregating in a nearby coconut tree.

Obviously now very wary of my roof.

They get caught in the trap,when they struggle,fall off the roof.

They can then be despatched,as humanely as possible and cremated.

First peace and quiet in weeks.

Send them all to me, I have over 10,000,000 as pets already....

 

I will help all!!!!  

My pigeons are past help

Some great replies,all manner of remedies thank you all.

I have placed sticky rat traps where the vermin congregate,under the eaves,

My neighbours are interested in the experiment,and will follow suit if successful, will offer a progress report in the morning.

No adverse comments were made about the method I am using,not directly anyway.

They seem to start arriving from 6am then start to dissappear early evening.

That's is a myth.  They actually will love to eat the uncooked rice and more pigeon will come to the feast.

 

What problems are the pigeons causing on your roof?  Surely the rain will just wash the poop away?

 

Poisoning them is very cruel and they die slowly and a lot of suffering.  Also any animals.. cat, dog, wildlife, that eats the dead pigeon will also get poisoned. 

 

There are 2 good options if you really don't like them on your roof.  Shoot them... get someone with good aim to kill a few.. and the others will soon move off to another resting place after a few days of that.  The other option is the scare them frequently.. they will again decided its better to rest in a more peaceful place.  Scare them with loud bangs, fireworks, even waving a flag or brightly coloured material about near them.

 

I don't understand why people don't like these birds, so long as they are not actually nesting inside your roof and making mess. 

Tried the loud bangs for two weeks,even small rockets.

Also for now fireworks can't be used.

The constant coo cooing and scratching trying to get in the roof space,along with the filth,is my reason to get rid of them

Airsoft rifle.

Silent and will just piss them off so they go annoy someone else. Also a great way to pass time with a couple of beers!

Airsoft ineffective,pellet gun works,but I don't own one.

Though have found a seller of such

Live and let live?

They arn't crapping on your house.

So easy for you to say.

Thanks for the replies.

Obviously not a localised problem.

I posed the question,as I hmm accidently caught some in a sticky rat trap,they had to be despatched as could not be released.

I am now intending a mass placement of said traps.

So was trying to get the lay of the land,so too speak.

My landlady is in agreement,so game on.

This year the local area seems to of been invaded by pigeons.

Including my house roof.

Is it legal to cull these vermin?

I don't miss mine.

Speak to my mother on a regular basis.

Visited her last year.

Haven't spoke to my kids in years.

Don't fix it,if it's not broken.

Just carry on as you are.

I don't understand how the nephew can drink the beer,smoke ciggarettes of the OP.

Doesn't he have any spine,or a tongue in his head.

While the freeloader can do as he pleases he will.

Craigslist has plenty spreading the love, for a small fee.

I doubt anyone else would think some old tools be of any value.
