Mister T

I feel for you, but I think you are doing all the right things. Stay out of the country until she gets locked up, keep sending just enough to support grannie and the kids. Most importantly, block all contacts with her and her friends. Knowing what she is up to will eat at you night and day.

Best wishes and good luck.

The General will be happy, he must be missing all the money from the chair and umbrella rentals.

Clean and primer first.

I'm due for my 90 day on the weekend so I called my local immi and asked about the need to come. She told me it is not necessary in the amnesty period but as it is only 20 minutes up the road and takes less than a minute to process, it is better for all if I do come. Good excuse to get out and about too.

Tell her you will continue helping out if she gives you a 30 year lease on the land to protect your investment.

I built our place near Ubon in 2012 from Qcon blocks. Luckily my son is an architect and I got a lot of good advice from him. I did get a great builder after looking at several of his previous builds in the area. We negotiated a price per sq mtr and I made sure I did all the materials purchasing, he did come along in support. We agreed on progress payments. small one at start, another at slab completion, another at roof completion and the final when we were able to move in.

Strongly suggest damp course liner between slab and blocks, bio septic not concrete rings, 7" guttering if available in your area, down pipes at each corner of the roof (including the entry). As previously stated, you can never have too many power points. I had 4 double power points in each room, had a great electrician, he did all 3 core wiring tubed and recessed in the walls. Minimum 1.8 metre copper earth/ground in a moist soil.

Good luck, it can be fun and frustrating at the same time.

There is no "The rule".

The governor of Prachuap province has made it a rule, 20k baht fine if caught without a mask. They have had a 7pm to 7am curfew for over a week as well.

Poor analogy - sea levels are currently rising at their fastest level since records began. And the Arctic and Antarctic are melting 6 times faster than they were in the 1990s. But yes, I get your point that this COVID-19 event may be looked back as a mere tremor before the actual "earthquake" of runaway climate change and ecological breakdown. 

You might want to check this link about no substantial rise in sea levels in the last 140 years

You are correct, as of July one your visa has to be re stamped every 30 days. Latest info is, if you have a 3 month visa, you can extend it in country for $10 USD two times. You must then leave and re enter at the 90 day mark.

No problem John, I will let him know.

They even know where you live and sail, that is why we never get stopped at the checkpoints.

Will send a PM with more detail, thanks for the enquirey.

Now down in PKK, luvverly quality of the air to breath.

Visited the Top Deck for my evening meal, good aussie steak, tasted better than most I have had in Thailand.

Ask the waitress how many Frangs fall down the stairs, nice smile and giggle.

Looking forward to 2 quite months down the blunt end and very nice small hotel I am staying in.
