I have the same water heater. 1. Turn off breaker connected to water heater. (Recommend waving an electrical sensor in front of the heater just to be sure you've really cut power there) 2. At the bottom of the case, there is a single screw. Use a Philips head to remove it. 3. Pull the knob and the case from the heater. 4. On top of the heating element is a tiny brown button. Almost can't see it. Presss that button all the way in. 5. Replace everything.

Is https://tm47.immigration.go.th still the correct place to do 90 day report? I submitted my 90 day report there almost two weeks ago on early morning on 26/7. The next report due date was 5/8. Well, now is it 6/8 and I have received no approval or rejection email and when I check in the system it just says my application is "pending" just as it did before. Did they just skip over me? Is there someway to contact someone or am I just going to have to endure an emergency last-minute run to immigration tomorrow? I'm so disappointed since the last 90-day report system never worked for me, and this one finally worked the last 2-3 times. Looks like it's back to being a roll of the dice.

My license is expired for about 6 months now. At what point will I have to do it all over? Yes, the process was done with an agent. I'm not sure how I would follow up as I am not sure what office handles the tax records.

Very weird that they no longer provide this letter as I have went to the Embassy for the letter 3 times to get it.... twice for getting the license (one time it was delayed) and once for buying a car. Right around Covid time. It's just recently that the embassy stopped doing it? Yes, I've been my 90 day reports. I'm in Bangkok so I guess the office with be in Chaengwattana

Im on the elite visa and got a temporary license a couple years ago, and in the meantime I purchased a condo. The temporary license has expired. When I bought the condo, the agent gave me the old yellow and blue books, both with foreigner names of the previous owners, which I found odd since I thought foreigners couldn't be in a blue book. The agent told me "You can go to change it, but you don't need to." Now the problem is I need to renew my drivers license and from what I am reading online I need the yellow book or embassy letter for proof of address? When I got the temporary license I went to the US embassy to get a letter stating my address and notarized, but I am reading on the US embassy website now: Now I'm confused, because it wasn't a problem getting this paper from the Embassy before. Perhaps they are just warning that a notice verifying your adddress is not "residence verifcation" or perhaps they have stopped giving the paper altogether. I guess my question now is... what should I do? Should I try to get the yellow book changed to me (and maybe the blue book too). Should I book an appointment at the embassy and try to get a notarized address letter anyway? I really don't want to obtain a "certificate of residence" from Immigration, and I'm not even sure I can get one since am on the Elite visa and don't work here. Further when I read online it says that a work permit is required for the yllow tabien ban, which again I do not work here. I of course have the title deed, purchase agreement, and old books. Is it even possible for me to get the yellow tambien ban without a work permit? To throw in one last question-- the last tax bill I got on the condo had the previous owner's name, despite me owning the condo for several months. Will going to the amphoe to update the book update this as well? Why does this have to me so hard!? Really got to get this expired licesne thing sorted so I can drive my car. LOL

It sounds more like you're not the "sharpest tack in the box" to be posting incorrect information. You should probably educated yourself about what is legal or not before commenting on someone's intelligent level. And if I were in my home country, I'd smoke in my home, my car, or any hotel balcony. Literally anywhere as there are no "smell disturbance" laws. Also, I am not asking what I would do at home or what is legal or not. I am asking where are tourists who are staying in hotels smoking the marijuana that they buy. It's not happening outside, so my suspicion was that it was on hotel balconies. It seems that the other posters in the thread have somewhat affirmed my suspicion.

Serious question and I'm surprised I couldn't find anyone else talking about it. I see a lot of tourists buying cannabis and cannabis pipes at all the little dispensaries that have popped up, but where exactly are they able to use it? I assume they are chancing it at their hotel, but what are the logistics of doing that without issues? Due to the "no smell disturbance" laws, I'm guessing they are booking rooms that are of a relatively high floor and have a balcony so they can puff outside and/or blowing out the window? I'm not even sure 'blowing out the window' would be enough as just lighting it up would definitely cause a strong smell in the room. It's clear that not everyone is an expat with their own house/condo (at least here in BKK), and it's clear there are not enough shops or spots where someone can safely smoke outside of where they are staying. So are tourists exclusively balcony smoking? I heard that balcony smoking is illegal, but I'm not sure if that's true. Does anyone have first hand experience staying in a hotel room, buying weed, and enjoying it in the privacy of your room without trouble? What recommendations would you give to a tourist who is looking to travel to Thailand, staying in a hotel, and would like to enjoy a bit of cannabis on their stay as well? I think the last thing anyone would want is to be stoned and have a sudden knock on the door due to smell or whatever.

Does anyone know a good place to buy baseboards and door molding(casing) in Bangkok? I've been searching for weeks and I'm coming up short. Boonthavorn only has a few thin plastic baseboards... no casing. Most of the lumber places I've called around to only have thick, unsanded/untreated lumber. Thaiwatsadu has a very limited selection of wood baseboards, conwood (fake wood) and cheap pvc door casing. No wood door casing that I could find. And most of the contractors I've talked to are just don't seem familiar/confident enough to install door casing, so I plan to do the whole project myself i I can find some options. Not interested in the plastic baseboards as they look too fake to me, and the fake wood/conwood stuff is too heavy and wouldn't be easy to install. I know it exists somewhere as the room I'm sitting in has some nice, real wood trim and baseboards, but I can't find a supplier. Any suggestions or recommendations?
