Thai man loses his life when using YouTube to repair tractor
timendres replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
When I was young, back in the 1960's. I remember so many accidents. Kids losing arms and fingers. Kids losing their lives. It was very common. Farm equipment is very powerful. Deceptively powerful in ways. Never to be treated with anything less than utter respect. My sincere sympathies to his family. -

Good luck with that. -
Two former naval officers, Taiwanese national arrested on murder charges

I sense a Father of the Year award on the horizon... -
Do not know how to answer that question. They wanted the Tabien Baan and Thai ID of the owner that was on the lease. I believe they also wanted the Title, but not absolutely sure of that. Possibly this is where the address discrepancy came up. Unfortunately, it was all happening quickly in Thai, and my agent did not explain it very well, and I really did not care the details - I just wanted it all to end. That is why I pay an agent. To make the pain go away.

Registering a business in Thailand
timendres replied to rapidwtr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
And then you can add the costs of the business and work permit, as well as the required employees. Having run a business established under the Amity treaty, my expenses ran about 5,000 baht per month for accounting services, roughly 50,000 baht per year for the work permit and extension renewals, and then the costs of having my employees (salaries and taxes). The costs are not trivial, and can be a bit painful if not supported by actual income from the business. On the other hand, if the money is flowing, then you can easily pay for these headaches to disappear. Oh, and then there is the cost of setting up the company. As mentioned, 2M baht for proper capitalization, and the costs of establishment, which ran roughly 180,000 baht in my case (it can be done cheaper). -
Which Isan town/city is best for a bit of hanky panky?

As above, CW. I am not sure about the desk. It was the "retirement extension" division. I believe "L" was the desk designation. I partly blame my agent for forgetting that the additional lease evidence was required on the first application. She indicated that it was not required for further extensions (only the lease is required), but maybe she was attempting to save face. The "alternative" was, of course, suggested by the very hungry IO.

Bugging devices discovered in MCOT headquarters

Not sure what the issue is. They are the "Mass Communication Organization" after all. -
Confirmed. Two days ago, my application for extension was almost derailed due to the address on my lease not matching the address on the property deed. I do not know the exact details, it was all just a "blur" for me, and fortunately my agent was able to sort it. It took several hours to get things "lined up". Of course, I was offered an "alternative", but the price was unacceptable.

I was forced to set up a second Apple Store account for this region. Had to do the same thing to install the 7/11 app. It is a PITA, but not impossible.

Violent Altercation Erupts at Nightclub, Leaving Several Injured

Some of the most amazing things to ever happen in my life happened "after 12". Most of the worst things to ever happen in my life happened in the middle of the day. -
I have had this happen quite a number of times over the years, in various ways. I always fix the problem, simply because for most of these employees, that mistake will come right out of their paycheck. And they are typically not making enough income for that to be trivial.

In my dreams, both parties start offering presidential candidates worth voting for. Has not happened in forever.
