  1. My first job was on a paving crew. There are manhole rings/spacers which fit under the manhole lid and on the concrete to bring the level up to the paved surface. If they have these in Thailand is anybody's guess
  2. https://goo.gl/maps/DjgzBPkP7ohmQwg59 Paddy's Pub and Restaurant I used to have a place in VT7 and this was my go to breakfast spot, excellent food and service pre covid, don't know about now though Exit VT7, turn left on tappraya rd, walk up to the lights and turn left and there you are.
  3. Look for shops that build gates and handrails for houses and buildings. They use a lot of various sizes of stainless steel
  4. Originally from South Africa Now based in the Channel Islands
  5. https://international.standardbank.com/international/personal Here's a offshore bank you can sign up to from anywhere
  6. To OP, you'll be OK
  7. It's not even cold yet, wait until prolonged -20 C or more As a Canadian I know our military clothing is up to that and much more, as is the Norwegian and Scandinavian gear. Winter will be Ukraine's best ally, They are on home ground and can and have been rotated out, ruzzia doesn't even think that way. Slava Ukraine
  8. Look suspiciously like work camp trailers that I've stayed in many times in the lands of sand. And I didn't have to pay for them.
  9. So, you seem to know what is on the laptop in question. What is it? Solid hard evidence will do
  10. Repairs won't cost billions, Call AllSeas, they're the company that built NS 1 and 2 https://allseas.com/equipment/solitaire/ The water in the pipe will have to be pushed out by pig and then they can bring in the Solitaire and pickup the pipe off the seafloor. It'll cost many millions but really isn't that hard to do.
  11. Years ago when the very first Spiderman movie came out, we were watching it at home via DVD About half way through my wife asks me if this is a real movie, depicting actual events. I said no, it's fiction. She said, "I think it's real" Case closed.
  12. I've bought this product at Tops supermarket, with the pet supplies. Nice citrus smell but doesn't last very long
  13. When you get your retirement extension on your O visa ask for a multiple entry stamp also As stated 3800 baht for the multiple entry stamp + your 1900 baht fee for the retirement extension Did it for many many years when I was based out of Thailand No questions asked.
  14. You should read more On January 2, 2021, during an hour-long conference call, then-U.S. President Donald Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to change the state's election results from the 2020 presidential election. Trump had been defeated by Joe Biden in the election, but refused to accept the outcome[1] and made a months-long effort to overturn the results
  15. I'm also Canadian, lived and based out of Thailand for 26 years. Lived and worked on 6 continents and about 15 countries Now happily moved back to sunny Alberta and couldn't be happier(lovely -23C this morning) Wanted my son to grow up and go to school in Canada Haven't been bitten by a mosquito, or broken a sweat in over a year. Don't miss Thailand in the least and I will never go back.
  16. And use a proper USB data cable. This is important. The Android Auto in my new 22 4 Runner wouldn't work, I was on the verge of buying a new phone and I went on a tech site and was recommended to use the original USB cord from my samsung phone. That's long gone so I bought a high end cable and then everything worked. If you use a cheap gas station cord it will charge the phone but won't work for the Android Auto.
  17. What city are you from or close to? A consulate might be a better choice I found the Ottawa Thai embassy to be slow same as you I've used the thai consulate in Edmonton before, but I see that they've closed shop Vancouver and Toronto have them though
  18. You need to talk to a good accountant in Australia who is familiar with these matters. I did the same thing that you are thinking of. A similar amount FWIW I had a Interactive Broker investing account while living in Thailand and working internationally. In 2021 I moved permanently back to Canada. In the Canadian system I was deemed to have sold my assets the day I left Thailand and repurchased them in Canada at zero cost difference. I never used a bank to transfer these assets, I would not trust a bank to give proper advice about international tax matters I had to open a new IB account with a Canadian jurisdiction and the funds were transferred about a month later after a long vetting process. No cost for this, just a transfer from my original account to my new account Now my investment account is Canadian based and I pay taxes on any Capital gains made. I could have liquidated my stocks while held in Thailand and just transferred the money without any problem. This was option B, but I wanted to maintain my stock investments. I did have to show how the money was earned, much like a get to know your customer form at a brokerage. Not to difficult, worked offshore for XX years, sold a condo in Jomtien for a good amount of profit During my time in Thailand I had changed my status to the CRA as being a non resident citizen. I had to undo that process upon returning to Canada, and integrating back into the system here. After a year it's more or less done. Do your research and ask a good accountant is the most important Understanding Australian rules is a must.
  19. Just looking on the website I see the Legender is made in Japan. I also see a lot of similarities inside with my 22 4 Runner, also made in Japan. Congrats on your new truck. I bought the 4 runner in Canada for the same reasons as a lot of people buy Toyota. I've owned 3 in Thailand and had many at work and like the reliability. Mind you, if they sold the mini Raptor in Canada I would have gone for that.
  20. @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
  21. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
