  1. I did several jumps in the early 197s. It was forcefully drummed into us IF THE MAIN SHUTE FAILS TO OPEN PULL THE RESERVE IMMEDIATELY DO NOT FART ABOUT TRING TO OPEN THE MAIN. I never had a shute failure but this man did exactly as he had been trained to do.
  2. Is it a prime opportunity for the Army?
  3. Thank you Dr Jack , your entry is to the point. I would still like an actual report from somebody who has successfully used that method.
  4. My Krungthai bank record my transfers from UK as XISDT alongside the entry.
  5. The USA tried very hard to keep out of it while enriching its arms industry by billions. At the end of the war only the USA emerged with its economy enhanced. In fact the arms sales to Europe finally dragged the USA out of the lingering legacy of the great depression. Europe, especially the UK bankrupted itself holding off German aggression and the first US troops did not arrive until 1943 when the tide in Europe had turned.
  6. The options offered are irrelevant thank you. I am enquiring about about what will be accepted as proof of income. My bank can supply a print out of one years entries showing pension from UK arriving every month, I can also get a printout from Wise.com showing monthly transfers, and my pension administrators supply a yearly statement including tax deductions and a foercast of what they intend to pay to me each month. also UK Tax authorities supply an annual report of the income and tax for the tax year just ended and an estimate for the coming year. I can supply all these. But I do not want to go to Immigration with a lot of unnecessary paper. Immigration themselves have only given vague and evasive answers so far. A report from a member who has obtained an extension by this method recently is what i need.
  7. In Europe, regulations require that power through a cable is cut off as soon as a break is detected. Why not here?
  8. Due to the flood last year I am unlikely to have the ฿400K in account when my extension for Marriage to a Thai citizen expires in a few months. I will therefore have to try using the income method.The proof of income requirement does not state what constitutes proof. Has any member obtained an extension recently using this method? What documents were required and accepted? I am aware that different each clerk may have her own criteria, Therefore as many many recent experiences as possible are welcome. Please note this applies specifically to Chiangmai Immigration.
  9. These 100 Baht fines all add up.
  10. Why do you want to know?
  11. What has this to do with Thailand?
  12. Some regional elections taking place this weekend, is there a ban on Alcohol sales? I have not seen any official notices.
  13. Hence the reason I have insisted that all my grandchildren learn to swim.
  14. My 7 year old Brother printer is refusing now to print any colours, only black and white. I only use it intermittently and the local repair shop says it is not worth repairing. I am contemplating buying a new one Would expert members recommend a reasonably priced and reliable one. I do not want a cartridge fed device.
  15. I grew potatoes successfully in Scotland for 30 years, but they always seemed to sprout better if exposed to a period cool temperatures before laying out. I suggest you put them in the bottom drawer of you refrigerator for at least a week. Do not freeze.
  16. I think Thais are highly intelligent, after all even a 3 year old can speak perfect Thai!
  17. I get all my pensions from UK sources where they all have UK tax deducted before being paid to me, and annually I receive a P60 type form from UK HMRC to prove it . Confirm I am Not elegible for tax in Thailand. Additionally, I have not been able to find the Tax Office in Chiang mai, where is it?
  18. This is old news, published on Facebook on Saturday.
  19. The seats have probably all been snapped up already by greedy agents who will resell them at a premium.
  20. Cycle 7km to pub, lift 3x1/2 litres of beer to face and cycle home. Twice per week.
  21. I agree, I also worked as a controller for 34 ears before retirement and the procedures in use at Reagan airport appal me. VFR at night is banned in most countries for the reason that it is inherently unsafe. In an urban area it is extremely difficult to pick out another aircraft's lights against the background city lighting. And taking ones eyes off a target to scan instruments even for a second can make it very difficult to re-acquire the other aircraft. I also held a PPL with Night and IMC ratings and so have experience in this field.
