    Photos- 1 required, 2 would be best, just in case 4 X 6 cm.

    Is proof of residence on a folder piece of paper stapled into the passport?

    If so, do I also need a copy?

  2. There is an excellent FREE learning platform for learning Thai. 

    Lingopolo

     

    It is based on a "spaced repetition system". 

    If you don't know the word today, they present it again tomorrow. If you know it tomorrow, the word gets presented in two days again.... 

     

    This platform is the first time in my life that I feel competent in learning a foreign language. You don't need to "try" and remember, just go along and see the word again in a short amount of time.  Give it a try!

     

    Your pronunciation will improve over time.

  3. There are people on YouTube that have had great success with getting rid of termites. Depending on your circumstances it could take a bit of thinking, but definitely doable. THE point being that you need to have the termites bring back to the nest, the "food" that does in the queen. 

     

     

  4. I do not currently have al Elite visa but I am thinking about it-

     

    Here is my thinking- I have a fund I have been investing in that has been returning 10-12% per year for several years now Let's say 10% for easy calculations. 

     

    B800,000 = roughly US$25,000 these says. 

    So if I invest that in the fund I have my other money in, or research another fund, I can likely make $2,500 a year on the $25,000, but of course no guarantees.

    $2,500 = roughly B75,000. 

     

    Keeping to five years for the Elite visa at B500K, my first year would be close to a wash, since I had to pay B500K all in one clump, as compared to keeping it i the bank and getting close to zero interest. After that, I make about $2,500 in investing my $25,000, while averaging a yearly spend of $3,000 with Thai Elite. Close to a wash depending on a lot of unknowns. 

     

    So for such a small difference in money, Thai Elite is starting to make a good deal more sense to me.

     

    What do you think?

  5. In regard to hypnotism-

    Stopping smoking does work with a fair amount of people, and yet it would be unethical for the hypnotist (in my mind) to make any kind of guarantee. 

     

    I have taught hypnotism in various countries and I have had good success with helping people stop, but certainly not 100% of my clients.

     

    I would be happy to talk if you are interested.
