Good day everybody!

Sorry  yet another stay-cool-house - thread.

Has anybody installed a ridge vent on the corrugated metal roof as a retrofit here in Thailand?

A system kind of like in the photo below.

Companies or roofers contacted until now: "no have", "mai ruu", "mai khoi tam".

Ideas how to vent the attic/loft of our house (photos below), in retrofitting, other than with whirlybirds?

4-meter large eaves and a lot of green as well as fast growing trees are already doing a good job, but not enough for hot afternoon temperatures. 

Ceiling getting hot from above and radiating downward. As for the moment, the attic is very poorely ventilated. I'll let the ceiling insulate with SCG Chang. 

Thanks in advance for any constructive thoughts or sharing of experiences!

It is not possible to extend for a year anymore the maximum is 3 months whatever system you use and whatever people are going to post here.

So the maximum code is:

 

*934*180#

 

For 180 days.

 

 

 

I've just successfully extended for 1 year using *934*180# twice.

Should situation get even worse we're also ready to help out with our 2 borehole's water supply, provided that transport can be organized.

We're ca. 20 km's from junction Chayangkun/Ringroad direction NNE.

PM before.

Maybe the OP could enlighten us please on his exact contribution to this remarkable changement of attitude of the youngster?

Sorry, I meant if LOVELOMSAK could enlighten me on this.

How did you manage to get the confidence and friendship of him?

Thanks.

Hi there

Living in the boonies, no chance of finding a bookshop selling English titles by far and wide.Interested in paperbacks, novels and thrillers.

Any recommendations as to the most reliable online shopping address offering a vast choice of titles? No kindles.

Hungry of new suspence☺.

Thank you!

Impressive experience DJH77, thank you! With the amount of money you've saved on this occasion I could buy 1 rai of land where I am living☺!

Cheers

Thanks a lot to both of you DJH77 and streamer for your helpful input.

The Bumrungrad's Dermatology Center in Bangkok has been highly recommended to me in the meantime too.

Cheers!

Good day all!

I am looking for an experienced and reliable dermatologist and/or clinic in the area of UBON where to undergo regular check-ups and/or interventions on my skin.

Possible to avoid making each time the trip to one of Bangkok's numerous skin clinics?

Anybody with experience here in this regard?

Thanks so much for your help!

Got my 1-year DL last week with only the tabien baan as proof of address, so no hassle with certificate of residence. Besides brought D/L and Intl. D/L of home-country, medical test, PP with Non-Imm.-O for retirees and departure-card as well as copies of all of above. Had to make only the color blindness test, after 1 hour got my card, on which they made me 3 months younger than I actually am.

All's well that ends well. I'm the proud owner of a brand new yellow house book now which served as proof of address needed for registering the new car in my name. G/f's role was crucial in the whole process as Puuyabaan is a uncle of hers and lady in charge at Amphoe one of her best friends :-)

Wishing all a successful day too and thanks again!

I'm staying at the baan of g/f, that's why I'm trying the tabien baan - thing at the Amphoe. First attempt fruitless today, as person in charge absent. Giving it another try tomorrow.Thanks to all for the good advice.

Many thanks to all, impressive the great number of replys!

Good friend is telling me now to get the yellow tabien baan at the Amphoe, after that everything would go very smoothly.

Do you agree?

Thanks to all!

Gf and family trustworthy beyond any doubt.

So what practical step(s) would you suggest me to undertake now?

Hi everyone

I'm again on a non-immigr.O for retirees, applying for 1 year extension of stay in due time. Want to buy a new car in my name, went to immigration with gf in order to get necessary residence certificate. lady there didn't comply with my request saying that I can't buy a car now, because I haven't stayed in the kingdom for the minimum of 1 year needed to be entitled to own a car. Her suggestion: buy the car in the name of gf now and transfer ownership to me later. nowhere I've read of this 1 year-waiting period.

Correct information received from immigration or not?

What were your experiences in this regard?

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot UbonJoe. With your tip of Savannaket you've given me back some peace of mind...

I've seen that it should be possible there to ask for a double tourist visa entry (2x60+30) which should concede me enough time prior to my next flight home in March.

Anyway, as regards the missing document... I've not given up all the hope yet...

I'll keep you updated later.

By the way I'm widowed and not planning to marry again at 68 :-)

@Suradit69

Thanks, didn't think of UPS etc. The document is on the way now since 3 weeks from Switzerland to a Ban at the outskirts of Ubon. Unfortunately the Issuing Office isn't cooperative at all as regards a direct fax or email to the embassy.

@Ubonjoe

Thanks, you're always ready to help (True Vision has been rapidly installed to my full satisfaction).

What options for a new visa do I have now? In case must I do a "border run"? Do you know a suitable place to go from Ubon?

Sorry for my ignorance.

Hi All

I'm currently in Thailand on a Non-Immigrant O Single Entry - Visa for retirees.

Which are my options for staying longer than these three months should I miss the deadline for a 1-year extension application?

The problem is due to postal delay problems of the ORIGINAL pension-confirmation which the Consulate wants to see for issuing the "income letter". They decline documents sent by Fax or e-mail.

Thank you in advance for any constructive help!

@sandgroper

Could you please state contact details of CTH and/or dealer/installer?

Thank you!

Thank you ubonjoe, Michael Hare and transam for your useful tips too!

Thank you very much SantiSuk for your detailed and very useful post. As you point out truevision would probably be fine to satisfy my interest in international news channels.

What can you and maybe others say as regards the reliability and the service of truevision (quality of the image, blackouts, promptness by possible technical interventions)?

I would still be interested to get name/address of a trustworthy tv-dealer/installer in Ubon.

Hi all,

Would like to know name/address of an experienced and reliable satellite-tv dealer/installer for the Ubon area (out of town). Interested in watching mainly news channels in English and/or other European languages (e.g. CNN, BBC, SKY NEWS, France24...). Anyone having let installed a satellite-tv system recently and being happy with it?

Many thanks in advance!
