  1. @nigelforbeshas it right You need the tax paid receipt from the land office, go to the bank and tell them you want to transfer that amount out of the country. You will have to provide your receiving bank name, address, IBAN number, and SWIFT number. You'll need your passport and bank book of course. Prepare to wait, I was there about 2.5 hours I transferred 8 figures out after my condo sale. Cost of 1350baht, done by SCB
  2. I would be hoping for a end of the war by year's end. But more realistic sometime next year. Much more Western munitions and especially anti air defense systems, plus 10s of thousands of properly Trained soldiers arriving from UK. Ukraine has the momentum and the backing of the world. russia has a paranoid delusional dictator Whichever commander puppet de jour putin puts in is in a loosing positions. https://minusrus.com/en Slava Ukraine

    poppy

    You can get them at the Canadian Embassy if you're in the area
  4. I used Pacific Life Insurance when I lived in Udon Thani. I had my son added to my policy for 20K baht per year, healthy child never had a claim, but
  5. Not true. My ex-wife was sentenced to 25 years to life plus 2 millon baht fine for 1.4kg of yaba She has been released after serving 9.5 years. Sentence reduced for good behavior, having a family sponsor sign for responsibility, having a house to return to, wearing of a an ankle bracelet and for King's pardons The good behavior is a big one as they are always trying to reduce the prison population, which has exploded due to..........drug offences. The King's pardons are not a regular thing, it's up to him and they apply a 20% reduction of your remaining time to your sentence
  6. So how did this "special operation" get started in the first place? Was is Ukraine's fault for existing? How about this, Putin thought he could roll over the entire country like he did with Crimea and nobody would mind. Well to quote a phrase, he <deleted>***ed around and found out. Number one NATO salesman of the year Vladimir Putin. And now his front lines are collapsing on a daily basis, poor vlad SLAVA UKRAINE
  7. I've had my custody paperwork checked every time I flew out of Thailand with my son. The last time in October of 21 they went as far as copying my custody documents, his birth certificate and passport. Doesn't mean it will happen to everyone, just that it can
  8. Not me, I'm retired now
  9. After construction a cleaning pig is run through the pipeline, these are run at about 30 psi of air, if it should get stuck you just depressurize and put air on the other side to push it back to it's launcher During construction on the pipelay ship a cable is pulling a sizing plate inside the pipe that's several hundred meters behind the ship, if there is a buckle as it's called the ship can then start backing up cutting off the pipes its just welded to bring up the damaged section and replace it After the construction process a caliper or sizing pig through the pipeline prior to hydro testing. This ensures that there are no dents/buckles or size deformations. The client is paying for 48" of usable pipe and that what is they get, any pipe out of tolerances is up to the construction company to remedy. After construction when the pipeline is in service an electronic or "smart" pig is run through the pipe after several years of use to check and monitor things like coating continuity and pipe wall loss. Nordstream isn't old enough to require this yet though. These don't get stuck, the pipe is of the correct size. I've been reading on various websites about how a pig could have explosives on it to damage the pipe. To do this you have to have a flow of gas through the pipe, Nordstream wasn't in use so no gas flow and no way to move a pig
  10. The bigger car dealers will have bank account with all the major branches. My last truck, Got notification my truck was in. Go to the dealer tell them I deal with SCB bank, get there SCB bank account number Go to bank, transfer the amount of the truck from my account to the car dealers account. Return to the dealer with the transfer slip, they check there account Get keys to new truck.
  11. Safe to assume sabotage, But the kicker is who? Lots of finger pointing going on now. I worked on NordSteam 2 before it got sanctioned, the pipe is 48" diameter with wall thickness of 25mm and 4-6 inches of concrete coating. Even when doing controlled burst testing on land it takes quite a charge to set up a catastrophic failure So now you've got several hundred kms of pipeline that is equalizing to ambient pressure and will fill with seawater. How to wreck several billion dollars worth of infrastructure.
  12. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucha_massacre https://www.state.gov/war-crimes-by-russias-forces-in-ukraine/ How anyone can make your claim above is beyond belief. None so blind as those who will not see indeed
  13. Thought I was well travelled around my country, never heard of King Edward Island
  14. He spent 13 years in Canada fighting deportation while living in Whistler B.C. A very nice, very high end ski resort
  15. Being up to date on vaccinations is a condition of my employment
  16. Judging by everything else, I'm sure the money was allocated to weapons maintenance, but where it went is anyone's guess. Those yacht's in nice places are expensive to keep up
  17. It's hard to predict, but the same folks that do these war game scenarios also predicted that Ukraine would fall in the first week of invasion. Nobody knows untill it happens. That said the west and the rest of the world has seen first hand evidence this last six months of the utter ineptitude of the russian military. It is unbelievable to think that the great russian bear that terrorized the world during the cold war can't supply it soldiers in a battle zone that is about as far from moscow to Karkov as Bangkok is to Vientiane. The russian bear has been shown to be made of paper. Their army is substandard in terms of weapons, soldiers training, supplies, maintenance and command structure. Their artillery, which is the mainstay of their ground strategy has been seen to be up to WW2 standards They are sourcing drones from Iran because they have no ability to build their own In a war with a supposedly inferior opponent they cannot establish air superiority. Their airforce is a paper one only They cannot establish a naval blockade, their ships are antiquated and ill maintained due to the massive corruption. So In light of what has happened why would anyone think that russia has maintained their nuclear force? The USA spends 60 Billion dollars per year on upkeep just for nuclear missiles. A warhead that has sat for 20 years is useless due to degradation of the fissible material. putins threats are for russian public consumption, to show he's a hard man. I'm sure the US has every launch site targeted for many months if not years
  18. I'm off this morning to get my Moderna Bivalent Booster. Supposed to be the Omicron effective one. Just released here on Sept 21 Shot number 4 for me. In Alberta Canada FWIW
  19. It really depends. For my custody, I didn't know a lawyer so my nanny/housekeeper asked around and got a local Thai lawyer in Sakon Nakon for the grand total of 10,000 baht. All he had to do was file some papers after my deposition at Family social services. Uncontested so no drama. My divorce cost me 30,000 baht. I got off cheap lawyer wise but it doesn't serve as any guideline for others. Just that it can be done without costing an arm and a leg and getting the results that are favorable to you
  20. Yes quite often after reading your posts
  21. Take a picture from the links I provided to a local welder/fab shop and they can make you something
  22. https://www.powersportsid.com/polaris-sportsman-800-powersports-snow-plows/ https://www.powersportsid.com/farm-accessories.html How to get these in Thailand is another dilemma, You would have paid a premium for that kind of ATV, the attachments aren't cheap. As a former rubber grower/owner myself why not get a small Kubota tractor and the service and implements are readily available
  23. I kicked in 10K baht when my nephews daughter died. That covered renting some tents from the village tambon, food, casket service, DJ loud speaker system. The usual funeral stuff. This wasn't the total cost at all, There was also the village fund that got donated, and private donations at the funeral but they needed money up front to get things going.
  24. I found the Thai Family Courts System to be extremely fair You'll hear all kinds of falang can't win etc, you can if you just use the system correctly. Limit your interactions with her, don't react to her anger Document everything, get a good lawyer, if your in Issan DM me for a English speaking Thai lawyer in Udon Thani. I got full Parental Powers granted to me in 2013 in Sahkon Nahkon My case is not the norm as my ex-wife was in prison for dealing ya-ba so it was a clear cut case of her incompetence as a mother. But I travelled and now am moved out of Thailand and all times my custody paperwork was scrutinized at the airport and found to be in order. Funny thing is she contested our divorce while in prison, looking for a payday, she got nothing But she did nothing about my custody proceedings. Speaks volumes about her priorities.
  25. Wow, not all BLM member are unhinged is a good start. The rest of your comments veer into "throw a bunch of <deleted> at the wall and see what sticks"
