  1. If you are an Aussie, just man up. Remember Fraser "life was not meant to be easy".
  2. easyBills. They charge 8 baht for the service.
  3. For an American, no. For the rest of the thinking world, yes.
  4. Your american view.
  5. Thai foregone policy is to keep your eyes open, listen with your ears and keep your mouth shut. Very sensible. Pity this does not apply to so many other countries that like to stick their bib in everywhere.
  6. Good description of what is needed but all staff are not what you enjoyed. The interview officer I had looked and acted as if he had just came out of rehab. Totally useless and had to photo copy everything I had provided online that fortunately I had hard copies with me. He did not want to use at the digital copy. In the end he did not matter as the case was decided above him, even had one staff dropped from the case as she was sympathetic to my situation.
  7. As said above you will receive the pension while in Australia. As soon as you leave it will be stopped unless you have stayed in Australia for 2 years after first receiving it. Am not sure if that 2 years has to be continuous or can be aggregated going back and forth.
  8. And where does the polysilicon come from that converts the solar to electricity.
  9. If the owner had read the instructions that came with the mattress he would know that the instructions say to take it off before using it.
  10. You were lucky. A friend who comes to Thailand every year waited 4 months for his new passport and so missed his trip this year.
  11. I have a Robota bought from the local shop. It appears to be a Stihl or nock off but a third of the price of a branded Stihl. It is a two stroke and I am like @Crossy when it comes to 2 strokes but this has been very good for 8 years. The local mechanic fitted Sthil parts when I needed a new chain and bar.
  12. Daiwa multi-purpose (chain) oil from the local mechanic.
  13. P Wong would feel right at home with them.
  14. I note that you are holding it in your hand. In that location it is useless, it is supposed to be in the ground, and longer than the piece you are holding. The Thai title system is based on coordinates. GPS has been around a lot longer than 2006.
  15. Those with the numbers stamped on them are put in the ground at the proper coordinates. Unless they are moved they mark the corner. Unless you are talking about the larger concrete posts that sometimes accompany them.
  16. You need to brush up on your survey marks. I deliberately said chanote markers that are the round concrete markers with the numbers stamped in them. They may be accompanied by a concrete post.
  17. Except that it is illegal to move a chanote marker post.
  18. No need to go that far. Plenty in Sadao and the town right on the border (the name escapes me). But the quality seems to deteriorate as you go south.
  19. I hope she never does an IQ test. It would be less than her body temperature.
  20. The question you need to ask is buying the land your idea or the wife. If not yours go the usufruct or superficies, or accept the advice of @473geo as many of us have done.
  21. or put another way; "it does not matter who you vote for a politician always wins." And people still complain about used car salesman.
  22. Are they new owners cutting costs?
  23. My problem is not what they are watching but what are they thinking about. It does not appear to be driving a car, and that goes for males as well.
  24. But more AUD when repatriated to Australia.
  25. Don't you just love the irony Thais have with English.
