100mm is standard bock size in many countries. especially the UK. So not sure why the need for a post on the corner when it would be cross bonded, which would be as strong, if not stronger then butting up to a post each side ? Ant the roof would be lightweight steel, mono pitch, bearing on to a steel wall plate, so spreading the light load ? No wind shear to factor in, wil be built between existing buildings, so sheltered from sun and wind 

Why not put a extra block in each corner to give it a bit of strength that would also give you half bond on your second course, but you would have pillars on the inside, im a bricklayer and wouldn't bother with the 'sows', concrete posts at the corners, or maybe go for a 140 mm block and just bond the corners.

Thats how i found out i was dyslexic i went to a toga party dressed as a goat..

Hi all.

Has anyone used the Thai Visa Agent service in order to obtain a Retirement visa? I have been in contact with a person named 'Grace', and recently informed me that the fee for changing from a Thai Wife visa to a Retirement visa is now Bht. 27,000!  Only a few weeks ago she quoted me a figure of Bht.20,000 !  So, has anyone actually been to the Thai Visa offices in BKK and met this person in the flesh? I'm slightly concerned... I plan on visiting them on 8/Jan/24.

Yes me, they done a retirement extension for me Dec 2022, charged me 14,000 baht.

Ordering food and drinks and telling the Lazada driver I'm home is enough for me..

Agreed, they don't even like giving you 60 days WITH your wife and will try for 30 unless you state what you want.

One officer terrored my Mrs everytime we went, always something not right, she refuses to go there again.😂

Something else that needs to be checked.

 

I have done several 60 day extensions without my wife present.

No chance in korat, I'd rather go by myself if I could

Firstly condolences recently a friend of mine passed the cost of having his remains returned to the U.K. from Thailand was mind blowing for a start the casket had to be zinc lined . I suggest you have your paps cremated here in Thailand and the ashes sent to the USA for a memorial service it’s still an expense but a lot cheaper check with the US Embassy for details for the U.K. we had to provide the deceased passport , death certificate and cremation certificate then find a company to arrange collection and transportation. I’ve already made my instructions known cremation in the Temple followed by ashes/ bones into the sea in front of my villa cost no more than 25,000 baht 

Give them to me il go and sprinkle them  on goodison park...

I would chip in 5,000 baht and that's the end of it.

 

You said they ain't skint, there are various ' pools of money ' that people donate through their lives towards their funerals in the villages and then there will be the envelope donations etc.

 

You are acknowledging and contributing without playing ' billy big boots ' or a fool.

 

Total costs should not exceed 50,000 baht for a reasonable village send off without being too flash but doing it properly.

 

They are pretty much like weddings in the money respect, it's like how far do you want to go!

 

 

 

 

 

4 members of my Mrs family have died since I've been with her, each time I just slotted them 5,000 baht.must be a scouse thing ..

It doesn't... BUT.. because females commonly use handbags, there is a projected femininity and metrosexualisation surrounding carrying a similarly sized bag (man-bag), such that some may levy the accusation of being a little fruity... 

 

Even my Wife nick-names my 'man-bags' my 'gay-bags'.... and now someones going to do their nut and squeal homophobia at the mere thought of the suggestion !!!... 

 

 

My ex Mrs use to accuse me of homophobia,, said I had a phobia of coming home
