Travelling on one way ticket.
CLW replied to Issanraider's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Most airlines ask for an onward or return ticket -
What is your point? Are there dogs killing your chickens or not? Usually chicken should be in a cage or fenced land. And locked inside at night. If dogs are a problem, just use a slingshot and clay balls to deter them.

Where to buy bricks (boxes) to make a retaining wall?
CLW replied to AnotherOneHere's topic in DIY Forum
SCG should have them. There is another producer, CCP (Chonburi Concrete Products). They deliver nationwide -
Icarus or Ikarus brand. not sure. you can find them on Instagram
-
That's why I want to buy most of the material for building a house by myself and also always observe the work they are doing. I mean it can't be so hard to give the concrete a painting with bitumen or lay a thin waterproof cement layer, right?
-
Because construction here is all about being cheap. That's why they not use it. From what I understand about this topic, you can either used bitumen-based paint or waterproof cement slurry as vapor barrier between foundation and walls. See my post above with example pictures. To your link, Sika has a localized Thai website with a similar product (two-component based). They also seem to have liners and bitumen products, however I guess they are only for professional applications. I couldn't find them at the usual stores such as Thaiwatsadu etc. https://tha.sika.com/en/construction/waterproofing-systems.html and go to waterproofing mortar
-
@Kinok Farang Since I did not find DPC as a roll, can these products below used equally? One is bitumen paint, the other waterproof cement slurry. Thank you!
-
Thanks, yes. DPC is what I was looking for. So something like this in below pictures, right? Is it available in Thailand?

Makro vs GO Wholesale - What is your favourite?
CLW replied to CLW's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
And besides the mentioned better fish and seafood selection at GO, their bakery has more items. But it is also a gamble because most Thais don't know a bagel or focaccia, so they stand three or four days in the store. Last time I bought baguette and focaccia that was hard as a brick and totally dried out..... Makro bakery just does the things that have high selling volume such as toast, sandwich bread, sweet buns, etc. In my opinion any Makro with a bakery attached (inside the store) has very good burger and hot dog buns -
It is more like fashion and trying to look cute. And a good business for dentists.

Makro vs GO Wholesale - What is your favourite?
CLW replied to CLW's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
so my question about which store is better has turned into a conversation about processed food, peanut butter and that you can't use credit cards at makro, which is known since years.... 🙄 -
Agree. But this works only on a flat surface. How to do with the situation at above picture? Raised foundation on slabs. Or is the distance to the soil sufficient?
-
Long time Makro customer I now occasionally visiting GO wholesale. Commuting to both stores is almost equal, so this is not an issue. While I found that the vegetable and fruit section at any Makro (big or small) beats GO wholesale, the meat and especially seafood tends to be better at GO wholesale. However, most GO markets are so huge, you need too long to find everything IMO. Positive is their bistro with pizza slices, grilled chicken and BBQ spare ribs. What experience do others have with those two brands?

Public Health Minister Discusses Change in Cannabis Status Amid Protests
CLW replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I would say Thailand has more health-threatening issues than Cannabis: Kratom, Smoking, Alcohol abuse, Vaping, Meth and bad air quality. Just to name a few -
student visa and non b visa issue
CLW replied to Leviiirx's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think the "problem" is that the OP went to immigration one day before leaving the country to cancel his ED-Visa. He simply should not have done this and just leaving the country without re-entry permit to invalidate his ED-Visa. No one would have known about this date 4 April on his letter from the registrar. Because usually the university doesn't update the status of their students to immigration -
student visa and non b visa issue
CLW replied to Leviiirx's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
How can immigration know that your university tagged you as graduated since 4th of April? -
Yes, definitely too many bad or mediocre restaurants, even for Thai food around. Every Dick and Harry thinks they can open a cafe or restaurant and make a fortune. They are even copying the concept from the business next door. How stupid... And now the government should help these unsuccessful businesses, that never ever had a financial plan or chance to survive???
-
That still baffles me since a long time. First, that there are no discounter supermarkets like Aldi or Lidl in Thailand. And secondly, that there are no no-brand-name food products at existing retailers. Example, if you want to buy chips / crisps, most likely end up with Lays. Meat, only CP and Betagro. Beer, Singha or ThaiBev. And the list goes on....

E-visa for Nonimmigrant B
CLW replied to TellTale's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
At least it shows the name of the local authority (at town / county level), that issued it. -
E-visa for Nonimmigrant B
CLW replied to TellTale's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As above poster said, in most cases you have apply from your home country for this type of visa. I do not know your nationality, but to your question about document indicates my current location (no. 3). Usually your ID card or passport is showing your currently registered address. The consulate may ask for additional proof of residence, that you can get at your local administration (town hall, registry office etc.) -
Name one recipe that you cook at home whilst living in Thailand.
CLW replied to ubonr1971's topic in General Topics
Wheat or corn tortillas? For corn you need corn flour treated with calcium hydroxide. Could only find a brand "Uncle Bobs Organic" which costs a fortune. Frozen corn tortillas from Makro are not expensive
