The digging around the moat is part of a program to put all the power and communications lines underground. It started a few months ago.

Depending on the Immigration office, you can't do anything without one on file. It has been law since 1979 and enforced since about 2016 at some offices - Chiang Mai in particular.

A legitimate ED visa requires in-class teaching - minimum of eight hours a week. Any school offering online learning is breaking the law. Sign up to school in CM and turn up to classes if you don't want to put yourself at risk of getting into trouble. And Immigration has been strict on EDs recently due to the Chinese gangs using them.

How do you only have a regular power bill of 60 baht month? Does she have a fridge maybe and nothing else?

I'm sure Pheu Thai forming government with Prawit will bring much joy to Red Shirts as well.

Send her this link - it's Chiang Mai Immigration arresting and fining 16 Thais for not filing TM30s last week. If she still doesn't get the hint, report her to Immigration or move. https://www.facebook.com/immchiangmai/posts/pfbid0cH8eCi6545bTzdA2SZGeMNdyLZZgfFCsFUqXTi8HH9Ypt3BXbgLtFgPXnQxTJrfol

You're yet to say what it is you are applying for. Extension based on marriage or retirement? some other sort of visa?? This isn't rocket science - all you have to do is explain your situation - I have X visa and I'm trying to get Y done at Z office.

When did CM change? I've got the same TM30 in the back of my passport I filed in 2019 and have the left the country multiple times (let alone domestic travel) and have confirmed with them - in person, that I don't need to file a new one. Of note, that's with re-entry permits on two year extensions of stays - if you change visa status, that's different.

This. It's not unheard of for Immigration and police to come onto a bus and check passports.

And that's the part some forget - it's some years, not every year. This year may have been bad, but everyone seems to have forgotten that it barely happened at all last year.

Had the better half apply for one last year at the convention center. Took about an hour and the passport surprisingly turned up three days later via registered mail.

PWA supply in San Sai - we've also got a pump and water tank, the supply magically goes off 2-3 times a month and other times it's weak. The pump helps with the water pressure as we can tap into the tank + the tank when it just stops for no reason. It has gotten significantly worse this year.

Meals-on-wheels is overly expensive for delivery if you don't live in the city. Grab is your best bet Reliable and affordable delivery service.

Drunk, no helmet, on his phone at the time and probably didn't have a license - who could have seen this coming ????

Immigration at Central Festival - 10 minutes and no one is turned away.

Extensions of stay - yes.

If it was only seeds, why were Mae Jo Uni giving away plants when it first came in? It's not only seeds, you can buy grown plants at Kamthieng.

Kamthieng Flower Market - everything from seedlings through to nearly fully grown plants. They will be Thai Stick/native strains though. If you want a clone or something more exotic, Lanna Botanical - I think you can order directly but they also do market stalls around the place - top owner who knows his stuff and is happy to discuss growing with you.

You're being ripped off by your local cog shop. The only thing my local one tests is brakes. https://goo.gl/maps/DWhfFKq2Kp2UezSD7

The basics are still the same but the biggest changes have been new shops and restaurants. COVID gutted the touristy parts (Nimman/Old City/Chang Klan) with many places closing down but now new shops/restaurants/bars etc opening all the time. A good many new shops are marijuana dispensaries as well, so that's definitely new from 2016 ????

What more pollution since? if anything, it has gone down, particularly during wet season.

As soon as they work out some way to turn the building into a hotel. It has to be on borrowed time + it sits on some of CM's most expensive real estate.

" how I can get cooked food delivered to my home in Sannameng, Sansai, just off highway 118?" Grab matches your address based on GPS. I live in the next tambon towards Doi Saket off the 118 and there 100+ places on Grab that will deliver.

Nothing usual this year - either with smog or people's ability to whine.
