Superstitions or not.. the fact that a foetus is stolen hurts too especially before the rites can be completed. A body gives closure.

Or maybe there was never a foetus!! Or maybe they got rid of it themselves to hide evidence of some sort, far more plausible explanations than black magic!!

Post 6 is the one you should look at it shows a small tap to adjust the air mixture. On Thai set ups you will more than likely find the air control is a small leaver behind the tap. Just turn it one way and then the other and you'll find it will come back to life. Leave poking things in the holes alone, unless you have a blockage in one of them.

 

They have more than likely got turned off/down when the thing was cleaned. That's if it ever was. Whatever they can be turned down very easily.

 

Tip you can see the valve if you lift the front of the hob up. Once found put it back to normal position light up and twiddle with the valve.  

It's never been cleaned!!

6 weeks and counting!! Pattaya

I'm just going to add my question here as this thread has answered many of the questions I had regarding the 65000 a month

 

So just for convenience I've been relying on the stat dec from the embassy in the past. I have my extension coming up next march. So I'm wondering does it need to show 65000 a month or as long as the total is 800,000 or more that has been transferred is that okay? It is also my understanding that in this first year they are going to be lenient. As there is only 10 months until March next year I would not be able to show 12 months of the 65000. 

 

Edit. Actually I just realized I had a deposit in April of almost 300,000 but only a deposit of 45000 in May. It seems to me if they accept dividend income they should understand inconsistency?

 

Cheers 

The 800,000 is irrelevant if your choosing the 65,000 monthly income method.  It must be the minimum amount of 65k each month in your account, they won't accept different amounts each month even if at the end of the year the totals are the same.  In relation to only showing 10 months deposits, they have been asked to be lenient but, that remains to be seen, contact your local immigration officer to find out if they will accept it.

This is not true.. I setup a transfer on Friday. TW said I would receive the money on Monday Feb 4.

On Feb 4 I got a message from TW stating that my receiving bank refused the transfer.

I called Bangkok Bank and they said no such transfer was received by them.

I called TW, they apologized saying the glitch was in their system and not with my receiving bank. They said I would have my transfer today.

I asked them to adjust the conversion rate as it is now higher and in my favor. They said they could not.

 

I've had similar issues in the last 2 weeks, customer service is a joke.  Always blaming the recipients bank. Told me that my bank had a problem before they even released my funds!!  Pointed this out, now they won't speak with me!!

OK so those affected by this change need to investigate a monthly transfer service like Transferwise.

 

And or setting up repeating monthly transfers from their bank outside of Thailand where ever it may be.  

 

The exchange rate is something you will have to monitor month to month.

 

 

 

 

Correct, I've used it for a few years, slightly higher rate and accurate transfer of required fund i.e the online calculator gives the exchange rate and amount (in bhat) you transfer, therefore no mix up at year end with insufficient funds being brought here

Nobody knows at this point!!
