DIY shower slope, mortar?
I am retiling my bathroom shower with a proper slope and 80x10 cm linear drain. I have gathered all the tools and materials needed except for the mortar to form flat planed slope. Everything I see done on youtube is sloped with a loose mupack tamped down for the slope. I cant find that material here so I am not sure of what other material I can find in Thailand to create 1 1/2 inch, 3cm slope that I can screed smooth. The closest I can find is a floor leveler that can be up to 3cm thick. Would that work if i mix it a bit dry and screed it down after it sets up a bit?

Royal Enfield Hunter 350cc
I have put about 120k on the three Enfields and heat from the engine and exhaust was never a problem. Crocs and shorts the whole way.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350cc
i have owned three Enfields, a Himalayan, an interceptor, and a bullet 350 reborn . The 350 has the same engine as the Hunter and so far the bullet is my favorite bike. Everything I need and nothing I don't. The bullet is no speedster but thats not what I want. It is a great ride and very planted on the road. It is also great two up. I have had a couple of minor issues but nothing I couldn't take care of myself. I love the bike and recommend it. Just make sure you break it in slowly

Trying to book a flight on air asia, Buriram to Don Mueang, can not add suitcase?
With all the constant changes it has turned into the worst airline website I have ever used. Nothing ever works. I am completely stressed and aggravated eery time I buy flights and almost alway have to go through agoda. that does not help you though because you can't add suitcases though agoda. I am sure you can add suitcases but Air Asia website SUCKS. Good luck.

2024 US PAssport renual
Thanks, but after spending about 5 hours working through the broken Thai postal website, written in a foreign language, in order to pay a measly $3 to get my U.S. passport renewal returned to me, I was able to get through the system when it started working again. There has to be a better way. If I were rating this method of payment, it would be very poor. Thank You.

2024 US PAssport renual
Hello, I am trying to renew my passport and have completed my application and paid my $130 fee but cannot purchase a 100 baht Courier Pass Back envelope from the Thailand Postmart System. When I scan the Q code on the application,or follow any of the links on the Bangkok Embassy website for the Courier Pass Back I am always directed to the attached a page that shows the 404 error code. I do seem to able to access other parts of the site and even pay for the same Courier Pass Back but to the Chiang Mai Embassy not Bangkok. I see that all passport applications in Thailand must go through Bangkok so am afraid that would not work. After hours of trying to pay for this service including contacting The Thailand Postmart System and the Thai Post Office no one seems to know anything about it or how to pay for this service. I need to renew my passport and am at my wits end. Is any one else experiencing these problems with the wesite I have attached both the webpages I get when I try to purchase this service. Thank You for any input or help.

Proof of Address form
Certificate of residency is free in Hua Hin immigration if you put the application in on the first floor with the information desk and wait a week. I think you need passport photo and 1 or two copies from passport. I picked mine up last week.

Time To Sell The Bike
It's not that I haven't enjoyed riding my motorcycle for over 70,000 kilometers. it's just that I can no longer stand to look at the heaps of roadside plastic, open dumping, and abandoned soi dogs everywhere I go. I live in a spotless Moo Baan in Hua Hin but that all end the second I leave the gate. For me all this litter has really sucked the charm out of Thailand along with a piece of my soul. For now I will use the car and drive way faster in an attempt to no see the reality of where I call home.

A Visit to the Tax Office
I understand the U.S. social security is not taxed in Thailand but I have a question about reporting Social Security funds remitted into Thailand. Do they need to be reported anywhere on the tax return in Thailand. I am keeping my records about where the Social Security comes from and when how it is transferred into Thailand. I would emit both my Social security from the U.S. via wire transfer, and also remit assessable income from a separate account.

Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
I couldn't agree with you more. I am here with my wife and son and honestly consider my time here and absolute waste. Paying some taxes here is one thing, but I don't even enjoy being here for free.

What, if anything, would make you move back Home?

Where to exchange USD in Da Nang
I don't know about the "best but it is very easy to change at any jewelry store or places in the hood. Just ask at your hotel. they are also not very pickey about marked up bill ect. If you are staying by the beach you can exchange with the motorcycle rental guy in front of Samatha Apartment and hotel. His rate was better than daily rate on internet and his rental bikes are in very good condition.I would pass on staying at the hotel.. It's very easy to change money but you can compare rates before a large exchange. Forget the banks

How much do you miss: Crisp Cool Marches in the Pristine Air of Home?
My wife and I drive 20 kilometer one way, to the next town, every single day, just to walk and then sit on a path that's not covered in plastic garbage. We are in Hua Hin and have found no public spaces or green space to walk in. The "park" near us in Thap Thai is an absolute disgrace, no trees, no vegetation, and surrounded by garbage dumped by the locals. I miss walking in connecticut every single day I am here. I am stuck here with my wife, child, and finances but paradise it ain't

Hua Hin Realtor
From my own experience of buying 8 different properties in Hua Hin, Pranbury and Prachuap Khiri Khan, The more I appreciate the advice Andy Dyett posed by in Hua Hin News Before I made another purchase here I would look him up and pick his brain for properties and especially locations. I have never used and agent but agree with his outlook and appreciate his opinions. https://www.huahintoday.com/tag/hua-hin-property-expert/
