They are padding the bill. My house in Udon Thani, hot season in April. 2 refrigerators, 3 TV's, multiple phone chargers. 2 computers, 25,000BTU air con running downstairs during the day. 3X 18,000 BTU air cons in the bedrooms running all night. The highest electrical bill I received was a little over 6,000 baht

Bangkok’s seasonal floods reveal the problem of short-term thinking
kwonitoy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
“Since the big floods of 2011, we have got the National Water Resources Act, the Office of the National Water Resources, the National River Basin Committee and many more such bodies,” Kasetsart University lecturer Sitang Pilailar told Thai PBS World. And all of these offices and committees will reduce the water by absolutely zero. I believe the Dutch offered there services after 2011 but were turned down. You need infrastructure, not endless talk and meetings -
Have you had a confirmed case of Covid 19?
kwonitoy replied to kwonitoy's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Well, 1 day into the straw poll and it's a dead heat 50/50 split. I would have thought that the majority of people had gotten covid. Just for interest I checked the small population country of Iceland. I thought they would have good data due to the small population. They come in at 59% Iceland Coronavirus Cases: 204,717 Iceland Population (LIVE) 346,123 -

how to leave luggage in transit at Suvarnabhumi
kwonitoy replied to fvw53's topic in Suvarnabhumi Airport Forum
https://thai-rest.com/luggage-storage-at-bangkok-airport-prices-and-rules/ You can store luggage with this bunch, I've done it myself. As @scubascuba3 says you have to clear customs, pick up your luggage and drop it off yourself, they can't pick it up for you -

New advice to sell a car, left Thailand 2 years ago
kwonitoy replied to ExpatO's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Tell her to go to the registration shop, get the transfer of ownership paper and send it to you. You can sign this and send it back along with a signed copy of your passport. Does she have the blue book in her possession? If not mail it to her She can also ask at the registration place what she needs. They do this every day That should get the ball rolling -
New advice to sell a car, left Thailand 2 years ago
kwonitoy replied to ExpatO's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Tell her she gets a free car if she can figure out how to transfer it. She'll get if done in record time. I gave my 9 year old truck to my housekeeper/nanny as a bonus when I left last year. When I told her she would get the truck we were at the registration shop in about 2 minutes -
Car tested prior to tax renewal at what age?
kwonitoy replied to Wiggy's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Generally on the 7th renewal they do a brake test, check if lights are working and honk the horn, and smog test on your vehicle. Where ever you get your annual sticker done will know when it's due. It's no big deal and adds about 10 minutes to the process -
What custom's will charge is one area of concern. Check into the cost of shipping the booth before deciding. I was going to move to Canada in 2020, I wanted to keep my homemade custom desk. Cost of shipping about 300$ by ocean freight. Bangkok to Vancouver. Covid happens, travel on hold October 2021, arrange to ship desk to Canada 0.5 cubic meter, 68,000 baht all in Udon Thani to Bangkok to Edmonton. Got a call from Vancouver broker, they need 500 CDN dollars to unship the box, Thai broker nowhere to be found. Vancouver broker needs 350 CDN to clear customs, Thai broker nowhere to be found. All in it cost me 90,000 baht and took about six months. I sent invoices to the Thai broker, who did not reply, big surprise there I wanted to keep it because I dug the root stump up on land my wife owned and had it custom cut in a single piece, weight about 250kg.

Legal Help to Dispute a will left by my Father in Law
kwonitoy replied to BAKABAS's topic in Family and Children
That's why you hire a supposed legal expert, aka a lawyer. All I was told that yes you can fight, and you can win. I didn't know about the last release being signed by her. But there was always another piece of paper and more information, each piece of paper has to be produced, go to the lawyer who presents it to the court who then set a date maybe six months hence, where they ask for another document and back and forth for years. The court system isn't corrupt from my dealing but is just glacier slow After winning every court case, the lawyer took the last piece of paper to be signed by her, nobody had ever heard of anyone refusing. She refused. She could be out of prison if her sister signed a letter of stewardship I got her to refuse. True love indeed. -
Legal Help to Dispute a will left by my Father in Law
kwonitoy replied to BAKABAS's topic in Family and Children
Like the others say, forget it and move on. If the sisters are that nasty leave them to fight with each other. Get your revenge by setting up the good BIL on a model farm Having been involved in the Thai court system, you can be completely correct and legal and a quick court case might take 3 years of showing up. If there are disputes then a legal case can drag on for many years I "won" my court case to reclaim a Toyota Vigo pickup truck and Kubota tractor that was confiscated when my ex-wife was arrested and convicted. Truck and tractor were in her name, proceeds of crime say the police and bye-bye truck and tractor. Hired a lawyer and spent 5 years going back and forth to court, Because I was in the "right". Each time I "won" my case but where's the truck? where's the tractor? In a impound yard in Khon Kaen. I needed one final paper signed by her to release it because she was the legal owner. She refused and the truck and tractor are still sitting in the police lot since 2013. It would have cheaper to buy a new truck, which I finally did. -
Ah yes, the old , but he took no salary so he's a saint, all the while golfing hundreds of times and bilking the taxpapers out of millions of dollars but overcharging the secret service for services.

As far as I can tell you can do it at the registration place, I was gone by the time my housekeeper did the paperwork -
Agency for transferring ownership of vehicles?
kwonitoy replied to ThaiDuck2's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Go to one of the vehicle inspection places that issue the annual registration stickers. The places with the gear as a symbol They have the paperwork necessary to transfer vehicle ownership. The one I went to by my old house in Udon helped us fill out the forms correctly. Saves a trip to the DLT When I was about to leave Thailand permanently we went to one and signed the forms, I left a signed copy of my passport and my housekeeper got my pickup truck transferred after I left. -
