  1. there are different versions of it in little packets some maybe more potent. lately found some in a small bottle, more powder but just as good As i am out of the country for 8 months of the year they build up but, It is one of the first things i do when i arrive(kill all the nests around the side of the house} sometimes can take a little longer than a few weeks but eventually there are no ants inside the house. You will find that as the toxin diminishes the other hatching ants (presumably) will remove all the dead ants and put them in a pile, (if they survive long enough). As someone has said, as they walk over it they normally only get about a foot before they are dead so you can put it on their path or at the entrance to the nest. The big red ants, due to a branch from a tree touching the house had made a nest in the eaves and making trails al over the side of the house. Gf laughed and stated that it would not harm them, Came back an hour later to find the side of the house still covered in ants but on closer inspection found them all to be dead.
  2. Don't know if this is the same thing but you can buy it in most village shops. Use it very sparingly as said, a few crystals or minute amount of powder will wipe out the whole nest. do it again if they return or eggs have hatched after a few days/week and then they will be gone for a few months at the very least
  3. Entered last year on exact same dependant visa in respect of a child but now they have changed the documents required together with some weirdly written questions This is a 90 day visa but i am staying for 107 days in the invitation letter( hope they will not pull me up on that) as i will be changing it to a yearly extension once i have legitimised my son To cut a long story short can anyone help with what documents are required for the following questions as i would like to get it right first time 5 . Personal details of a family in Thailand, e.g. ID card, Passport and the visa page or stay permit in Thailand This cannot be referring to my son or Thai GF ? as all the details are provided in the accommodation question (GF's ID card and house book) 8 . Residence permit in a country in which visa application is submitted (In case that applicant is not a national of the country in which visa application is submitted. What do i summit( you have to summit something) as being a national of my country nothing is required here. 9 . The letter from your spouse indicated that you both are still married and he/she acknowledges of your visit. This is a parental dependant visa, why would she need to acknowledge anything if you have submitted a letter of invitation. Again do i need to submit anything and if not what do i provide 10 . Bank statement, showing GBP10,000 minimum, with name & visible Not a problem but have already provided 2 and a half months statements in question no. 3
  4. Its what some experts are predicting it may be in January of next year. however a lot can happen before then. The last time they said energy prices were going to rise they actually only rose approx 50% of the actual quotes. That's not saying it won't happen but the figures will still be high. Government could simply lower the tax on it. but why would they, ching ching, more money for them. instead just give all the unemployed lazy <deleted> £400 to spend on cigarette's and takeaways, its cheaper.
  5. i don't think anyone is going to be putting their name in the hat as they all know how Putin got to where he is now.
  6. don't know how you can say German is hard when so many words sound similar to English or begin with the same letter as in English. links left, rects right, hund hound, frei free, zucker sugar, haben have, miich mik, auto car gold gold, tea tee, red rot and the list goes on and on.
  7. Top stream at school, took army test at 18 and was in the top 5% of the country and have a degree. I don't live here permanently,three to four months a year. I think at my age now (59) i am just lazy. I would need to set aside a few hours (at least) each day to learn. Having said that, some people just take to it like water off a ducks back regardless of IQ Before i go somewhere i always ask the GF what i need to ask and she says don't bother they will not understand you. The reality is, she is correct, as the language is so tonal. i just phone her when i get there and hand them the phone. Sometimes I can pick out specific words to get a gist of what someone is saying but very limited I do need to learn more as it would be so much more fulfilling being able to understand others even if my spoken Thai was still way below par
  8. Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was also charged, but he has been living in exile. A warrant for his arrest was issued by the court. He was later tried in absentia, but was found not guilty by the same court in 2019. How strange that all political activists are able to be tried in their absence but rich heirs are not, thus allowing them to out run the statue of limitations?

    True vs 3BB

    If you are going to do a lot of streaming you do not want True as they will slow your connection once you have used a certain amount of data. I had no problem with 3BB but GF changed to True while i was away. When i returned it was completely unusable so i changed back to 3BB While i was away True came round the village and stated all the previous problems had been sorted and they were now much better so GF changed back to True. She states that it all slows down towards the end of the month but not a problem and True have admitted they are slowing it. So when i get there, after a week of streaming it will once again be unusable to me.
  10. That's partly my point, there could now be a question mark on your status however in your case they still have records due to you paying tax. i failed to fill in the electoral list a couple of times and then people came round my house in person to check. It's not like the 70's and 80's, now, everything is pretty much linked and on a central database that all agencies seem to has access to. My friend used to claim reduced council tax, 2 weeks after his friend moved in he got a letter stating he was no longer entitled to it,
  11. Ever had to fill in the government verify (now gateway). They knew more about me than i did, failed to answer the questions every time. Every few years you need to confirm your status on the electoral list, council tax if claiming reduced payments etc etc. Not 100% but hasn't there has been posts on here before where payments have just stopped as they have realised they do not live in the UK. I would of thought a need to keep an address here is a must and someone to keep you informed of any appropriate mail
  12. Of course, that's exactly why i applied for mine. I was not implying that anyone should ignore the warnings but more to ensure that the paperwork and photo is error free to ensure that no delay will occur. things have already improved as they now state a 97.5% within the normal time scales. Not going to help if your one of the 2.5%.
  13. Seeing kids on the phone whilst driving is a common sight. It is also not uncommon in the villages to see young mothers carrying their babies in one hand whilst riding one handed. 2 years ago whilst travelling past the school in Surin city at closing, the police were directing the traffic as hundreds of kids drove from the school, very few wearing helmets. Obviously the police are happy to turn a blind eye to it at this time I was shocked to see a boy that looked about 12 years of age (in school uniform) who could only just reach the floor on what was at least a 750cc motorcycle with a young girl as a pillion (no helmets) I tried to catch him on my 250 to get a better look but he left me standing as he bombed off Even in Samut Sakhon in Bangkok the number of people not wearing helmets shocked me 3 local teenagers, on bikes, have died in the last 2 years in the 4 months i was there. How many have died when i wasn't there?
  14. I have just renewed mine. Did it online and received passport in a fraction over 2 weeks A statement was made some weeks/month ago that 95% were still being issued within 1 month. The process is not started until they receive your old passport I suspect that a simple renewal is straightforward if the paperwork is filled in correctly If doing online and submitting your own picture make sure it is acceptable as it can take quite a few attempts to get right(will tell you online that it is sub standard) but it will still let you submit the photo if you deem it ok, Problems probably occur on new applications where more information is required and needs to be checked with subsequent missing information. This was from the UK.
  15. You are correct on both points. I think you are missing my point as it changes nothing i have said
  16. Whilst you make a good point that can't be argued i think that many people have failed to realise why Brexit happened. I live in a city that now that now has a population of 10% polish, creating numerous areas where UK residents feel ostracised, English, has become the second language in the local schools while surgeries and the like could not cope with the continued influx of this migration. Areas where the birth rate was 4 times that of UK residents I only had to go to my local pub and listen to my mother to realise the hate/anger at the continuing growth of our migrant status. Also no one could differentiate between migrant and immigrants(which is still a problem) IMO the actual consequences of leaving the EU was irrelevant for the majority of people. However we were a ticking time bomb unable to sustain the continuing migration to the UK that was out of control. Had it not been for Macron and his continued refusal and influence amongst others to allow us to refrain from the freedom of movement we would still be in the EU and everyone would of been happy
  17. i Booked 2 weeks ago direct from Eva air £640 return end of October. I have since seen the price for £617, You need to leave on a Monday or Tuesday for the cheapest flights. From London Heathrow
  18. I have just booked EVA economy Their allowance is also 2 X 23kg which used to be 30kg
  19. Most airlines are still running on a reduced schedule, which when booking only 3 weeks before travel is obviously going to be extremely expensive. If you look at the cost of flights mid August you will see they are nowhere near those costs EVA air direct at 617 pounds as an example and hundreds of flights under 600 pounds. From London Heathrow
  20. Thanks ubonjoe, I can get on with booking my ticket with peace of mind
  21. Thanks for the reply On question 2 if a 30 day extension is not possible what are my options. A Border run ? I like to cover all the bases in case of a problem as it takes at least a month for the paperwork according to immigration
  22. Sorry if i am going off topic but i have a similar question and will save having to open a new thread I will be coming in October on a non O visa 90 days in respect of visiting my son which i intend to change to a yearly extension during my time here. Last year i messed up by leaving it too late to do the application I want to get a return ticket that will exceed the 90 days by approximately 2 weeks My questions are 1 will i be queried at airport immigration regarding the return flight is outside of the 90 days 2 if for any reason i am not able to complete the yearly extension can i just get a 30 day extension to cover the remaining time.
  23. The process is very straight forward, my son was 3 years old when i did it. I bought the land 50/50 with the gf's brother. He was shocked to find out that he could not sell the land or borrow off it until it could be split when he reaches 20 years old. gf had to sign for him as the Guardian. Unofficially we split the land and had electric placed on the land last year which we thought might be a problem as you have to register an address/house in the name of the owner. The village head said that if it was a problem he would sort it
  24. I think that's called Totalwithdrawal
