JAS21

Well I never got my reminder e-mail in October …. Only realised the day before yesterday. Went to Immigration yesterday and handed in my application and was expecting a fine. IO came out and handed back my passport and 90Day slip … he was grinning and said something I didn’t quite catch. I didn’t ask him to repeat it, just said thank you and left. I did think all the staff looked much more happy and helpful than previous ..probably a change of the chief IO.

Live here full time since 2007, am 79 years old, from UK…and retired well before settled here. Wife is a Thai National, with UK Citizenship, she is 69 years old Married 22 years no children thank #### from this marriage but both have child/children from previous marriage … Spend our time like most old couples … potter around the house, bit of travelling around Thailand and usually both play golf three times a week … …………………..

That’s a topic I haven’t seen before …very searching indeed … let’s hope you get it sorted

Yes .. that does have a flow switch ..there is loads on the internet about flow and pressure switches on shower heaters … there is also this 2014 topic which may be of interest to you

You need one that is operated by a flow switch … think it’s called a multi point. Well if it’s designed to operate when it’s gets pressure, then the pressure will initiate the heater … then the unit will trip on high temp ….then it will reset. …then it will ………. Seems logical that will happen until the unit is ######

Is that model for a single shower unit or multi system … if it’s for a shower where you open a valve to give it pressure to start it won’t like having pressure all the time and no flow. I think that the answer is in the first two lines of your topic ……

Actually have just renewed the insurance today…due in two weeks. It has my wife as the main driver and any driver over thirty. They have stated value as 715,000, down from 740,000 last year. It’s a 2015 3.2L Ford Everest Titanium +. If I get that when I sell it in a while I’ll be quite pleased, it has only done 58,000 kms and full MDSH.

Yes … but this was two or three years ago now. They said as you are a named driver we will not insure you any more …following phone discussion they suggested the way we went. Premium has been the same for a while now …approx 10,000 thb for a 3.2Ltr Ford Everest Titanium +. No claim in 9 years.

I still have Roojai insurance in my name. It was named drivers but they changed it to my wife and any other driver over 21. That was after they sent me a letter saying basically due to your age we can’t insure you anymore.

Yeah right …

Who wants to live to 80 … the guy who is 79 … I’m in that bracket. and life is great EXCEPT MrsJ is a better golfer than me ………that’s all I have to worry about ….just drop out of the world and stop concerning yourself about anything …

A Christmas Gift for the BIB …

Hideaway Bang Chan without a doubt. Well stocked Bar, good food, lovely big swimming pool and for you greens he has 40kWs of solar and free charging of EVs for guests.

Seems you have ordered a replacement number plate from your old province rather than re-register your vehicle in Chonburi or where ever when you would have got new plats straightaway. Well that is what I think happened. Please advise if that is not the case …

You can go to your LTO and re-register your vehicle and they will issue you new number plates for their province … BUT ..they will want the old plates so before going to your local LTO report the loss to your local police station who will give you some sort of letter saying number plate lost …LTO will require to see this document.

That delay is absolutely disgraceful … don’t use them again … that will teach them ….

Friend, who Co owns a garage, told me a while back that there is fake Mobil1 about. They buy direct from the Mobil rep.

That place looks amazing for food, very English type meals and expanding to sell a variety of meats for either collection or delivery. BUT I see that it is up for sale again. Bikers Breakfast … I couldn’t get through that …huge … and proper sausages which are quite a rarity in many resorts. Next time we are up that way againwill give it a good look at …thanks

Yes … I remember paying that when those rooms were first built, maybe 2010-2012 can’t remember exactly when. Those rooms now cost just a little more …. The place has now more than doubled in size since then. Has a new huge swimming pool. It is also exceptionally popular. The owners Hong and Charlee have done a great job. This time of the year sitting at the side of the Kwai Yai, whether at breakfast or in the evening is very pleasant. Loads of pics on booking.com if anyone cares to look. Over the years we have stayed in several Kanchanaburi hotels …eg, Felix, The Glory, Princess River Kwai, River Kwai View, even Dheva Mantra. But we have settled on GTR as location is great, food is very good, staff are excellent and all speak English. OK YMMV …lol

From 21st until 2nd Jan we will be at Good Times Resort in Kanchanaburi … great place to stay. And of course play some golf in the area. And obviously laze around the pool and break the diet well and truly.

I did a couple of 30 minutes walks today …At a reasonably fast pace for me … this morning it initially dropped to below normal but this afternoon just the opposite. I take a very small amount of beta blocker and a very small amount of titrace each morning. The beta blocker since I had Covid in January and the ACE inhibitor since 1993 after MI and double bypass …yeah I have a bad history but have made it to 79 years old, hope for a little more ………

Hell no …IMM send me an e- mail 14 days in advance reminding me to do my 90 day report. On line takes 5-10 minutes…..

My wife would love to have her nose altered a little but she says after the op it hurts … only reason for wanting it doing is that eye glasses just don’t fit properly or feel comfortable. Other problem that she has found is that she can’t seem to find any swimming goggles that will completely seal. Nose jobs and chin jobs you can usually spot from quite a distance … and the eyebrow jobs … yuk

We have been here since 2007. When I look at our sheets they look fine. Of course neither of us piss the bed …. Well not yet. But maybe MrsJ has replaced our sheets several times…I wouldn’t know. Sex is usually over the kitchen table anyway so maybe that helps. By the way…HELL . is that your bed. You actually sleep there ….

Wow …this is big… you seem to get out of bed the wrong side most days …
