6. copy of your lease/house book with your name and address
I rent from a condo owner that is outside the country and I don't have a written lease. Every time I've needed a residence certificate from Chonburi Immigration they have accepted a letter from the Condo office saying I'm a resident there. I used this method to get a Thai drivers license ( original 2 year and 5 year), Vehicle registrations(2), and Retirement Visa extensions (4 times). I don't know if that's national policy or just Chonburi Immigration, but they've never even mentioned it or asked for a lease instead.

Well, you certainly came to the right place for medical advice.
Are there any activities you do with one hand more than the other in the evenings?

Whining Guests ???? Thai health care is nationalized and supported by tax payers. Health care rights are not included in any of the visa fees we pay so what's the complaint?

100% deference to Ubon Joe for accurate facts, but from practical experience.... the owner of the condo unit I rent is quite ill and I never got an updated lease from him (4years). The condo office where I live provides a residence letter which Jomtien Immigration has always accepted instead of a lease. I've been able to extend my retirement visa and other business requiring a residence certificate from immigration ( register vehicles, renew my Thai drivers license etc).

Two weeks is too short a time to worry about. Loosing weight can be like Karma - you can't count on an instant result but every bit of work you do pays off someday. I find my body works in "set points" - weights at which I've spent a long period of time in the past act like resistance points. Sometimes it takes a while to break through those levels and then I'll loose more than expected in just a few days. If you are eating fewer calories than you are burning - you're doing it right.

Ands still, we have a handful of Farang morons in our condo that refuse to wear a mask in the elevators. Rrrrrrrr

Was this a postpaid AIS you had for 11 years? And is the new contract also postpaid? This kind of package sounds great - I'm currently paying more than double for my original 4G package, but I'm not using it recently especially since I now have a free sim bundled with my AIS fibre deal.
The other alternative is to just lapse the 4G sim completely - are there any implications in doing so mid contract? Am I supposed to inform AIS or can I just stop paying?
I have never had a post paid. I don't use the phone a lot and just top up like many people. I've had the same # all along.

"Shopee site is FULLY in THAI, their Communications are FULLY in THAI, their CHAT is FULLY in THAI". If you don't speak Thai why initiate a major transaction through their site?

There are known alternatives to burning that would take effort and planning rather than cost, as in many parts of Africa and South America, such as crop rotations, ploughing in and composting. They take the easy road because they are allowed to do so. They even burn the road side verges because they can't be arsed to cut them. That is indeed an issue for government and local authorities who in their turn don't care enough do anything about it.
Burning of fields is agriculture, and yes agree there are alternate practices, and that burning on owned land is a lot easier to govern than wildfires. But the purpose of burning of the mountains is to reveal mushrooms for foraging which done by mostly landless super poor people. I read that the most recent big fire was intended to drive wild game to kill zones...another hunger inspired fire. Just sayin...it would help the situation alot if those folks had better ways to make money where they live.

54 minutes ago, Pilotman said:Just face the truth, the Thais don't give a monkeys about the environment, or how their actions negatively impact other people, or indeed themselves and their families, they are clueless. They don't care, they never will care and it will never stop.
The people that burn the mountains are some of the poorest people in Thailand. It's not selfishness - it's hunger that drives them. Laws and Fines will never stop hungry people from doing what they must to feed themselves. The solution is for the government to create alternate economic opportunity. Blaming these folks for burning the mountains is the same as blaming slum dwellers for the awful stench where they live. Nobody chooses to be dirt poor.

This is all Nancy Regan's fault! The mountain folks used to grow opium, but had to turn to more destructive ways to make a living when the opium trade was eradicated. It's not surprising that fires are worse in a year of hard economic impact from covid. Let em grow opium again and I bet the sky gets a lot clearer ????

Governments can send extraction teams anywhere and bring you back for prosecution. It's just not real common. Look what they did to that guy in Iran some drone just dropped a shell on him from outer space.
Extradition through legal process - yes. Extraction CIA style NO. "Governments can send extraction teams anywhere and bring you back for prosecution". Even for terrorists suspects no country allows another country to conduct kidnapping/extractions without some legal process. I'm not saying the CIA, Mosad, MI6 etc have never done it, but it wasn't legal in any country and certainly not something any government would do over a defamation case ????
The Iran case - that was an outright assignation not an extraction ????

It's a problem with their computer so this scene is temporary - yet somehow they still managed to ding me for late reporting ???? I was due to report in early Feb - during covid lockdown #2 - and while online system wasn't working. I thought/hoped they were being forgiving of visa issues during Covid lockdown. I was wrong about that.

Sure - a campaign by Farangs teaching Thais how to drive will be super popular with Thais.
I notice that about half the time there is an obnoxious unsafe driver weaving in and out of traffic or tailgating because they think they own the road - it's a farang. That's a much higher rate considering the population of Thais vs Farangs.
Chill out - Jai Yen Yen, be polite, and stay off my ass ;-)

The question should be: "Who's lived in Thailand 5 years or more and NOT had some sort of Motorbike accident?". Seem that no matter how defensively we drive there's always an idiot out there that can find us.

Hard to calculate the cost/benefit. Without the good diet your friends might have died long ago ???? I find I feel better when I eat well and lay off treats. Diet seems to have a more immediate impact on how I feel than it did when I was younger.

It's strange to calculate as a lump sum with a fixed burn rate, no anticipated return on the investment, and expecting everyone to die at the same age. It's not a very useful calculation. Most people either have a retirement income stream or have their nest egg invested with some expected return.
A more relevant calculation would be a monthly income stream required The napkin math done by members here (about 70k/month) is much more relevant, and kind of tells us what we all already know ????

Toss some black irrgation tubing inline before the washer. It should only take an hour to heat a load of water when the sun is shining. I used this for a hot shower when living off grid. If you want to get fancy you can add some valves to isolate hot and cold.

I was able to open a MySSA Account online from Thailand using a PO box address in the USA. I used that PO box the last time I filed taxes so it matched their records, but they did not do any verification when I opened MySSA account. I don't remember if I used a VPN.
You might try just using the most recent address the IRS has on file for you, and a VPN showing you are in the USA.

Marijuana farm in Buriram?

Years of experience in California - the two biggest factors are genetic selection and soil preparation. Start with a clone - guaranteed to be female and a known strain. One male in the patch can ruin your crop - and your neighbor's crop too.
Soil preparation - the plants will grow as wide as the hole you dig for them. Two meters square and a meter deep will yield huge healthy plants. Dig in tons of compost and chicken manure a couple of weeks before you want to plant.
Of course this is the recipe to grow 1-2 kg of fat juicy buds per plant - all of which will have to go to the government since it's illegal to use in any way. Don't worry - there will be plenty of shake and stems too????
