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.

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.

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 -

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.
