In my case I was laid low with severe bronchitis for 2 weeks 20 years ago and never smoked again afterwards. Guess this is aversion therapy. My wife has tried patches acupuncture and vaping and despite severally reduced lung function still smokes despite seeing her friends die from emphysema. Thais have problems with addiction because of their bhudist beliefs.

Jomtien-not interested in bankbook just want letter from bank certifying monthly deposits plus same day deposit plus updated kor ror 2 from amphur

All I can contribute is that a Pattaya agent did my son's UK passport renewal including all the paperwork and legwork very satisfactorily

Non OA visa holders have previously gained entry to Thailand for up to 2 years without proving income. That is why they are singled out for insurance. Non O visa holders have proved income on initial extension.

As a seventy year old with 50 years driving experience without accidents. I am a considerate driver well aware of where danger comes from. I try extremely hard to avoid dangerous drivers mainly young and especially on motorbikes all with absolutely no road sense often driving decrepit vehicles without any thought of other road users. Age doesn't make a driver more dangerous, ignorance and lack of consideration do!

Always ventilate roof voids via eaves soffits not ceilings. Never insulate roofs in hot climates as this retains heat and is usually a fire hazzard.

Thais adoption of concrete clay tiles and bricks and glazed windows thus requiring universal comfort cooling should be compared to old style teak building with steep roofs no ceilings louvres instead of walls where no cooling is required other than ceiling fans. Raised on concrete columns to prevent termites of course. 

Touristic Urban for me with everything I need within a 15min drive and almost immediate service

Any insurance claim will include the right of subrogation against responsible parties as set out above

If the burst pipe is in common ownership then each owner should contribute proportionally to the repairs of all damages out of a sinking fund set up under the lease and to which all owners contribute a service charge adjusted at year end to cover any shortfall details of which should be set out in the lease or freehold covenant administered by the 'juristic person' or manager the accounts for which should be available to all owners

Me too at Jomtien- did my TM30 online before extending but no mention at the office.

Always best to restrict your visa business to the office where you live rather than leaving it till the last minute and using another office?

You are lucky that your Embassy still provides income certification for Thai Immigration but still best to maintain a bank account outside of Thailand and control your income into that account before you transfer it to a Thai Bank (Bangkok Bank is a good bet) so you can show TI where your funds come from. As you work on the web best to keep your options open as otherwise you will need a work permit in Thailand from a part Thai owned company. If you do get a work permit you will need advice on your Tax position. There are many Agents and Advisors that will help you through this process in Thailand starting with an extension of your visa. I chose to use an Agent for my first extension but since then have done it myself based on marriage.

BB will certify that the funds come from abroad as in Jomtiens sample letter and Jo's much circulated template. I get credit advices for all my transfers which BB list on a certified letter for TI

Your simplest option this time is to use an agent. Secondly change to a Marriage Extension.

Then for next year deposit your pensions in a foreign bank and use TransferWise to move the requisite amounts monthly to Bangkok Bank which will show as FTT.

Since the recalcitrant embassies dumped us all in the mire I have done 12 mths of TransferWise FTT transfers (24 in all) all clearly identified as FTT in my Bangkok Bank account.

Had one exactly the same and the City Hall snake catchers called it a Coconut Snake. Yes it is beautiful and they took it away alive.

Street pressure should fill the tank and the pump should pump water out of the tank into the house. If the pump is topping up the tank you would have no pressure in the house and the pump will burn out when the street supply is turned off

Thai Visa takes over all Immigration and Insurance functions as posters enforce Draconian Immigration Laws. Thai Visa offers outsourcing services to US UK and Australian Embassies.

Licensed Agents take over all Immigration functions and Senior Officers reassigned to Agents and Juniors to traffic police enforcing all traffic laws with increased fines replacing lost income

I would say that a no subletting clause on a short lease which hasn't required finance or a large down payment is probably enforceable even though it is an unfair term. If finance or a large down payment is included it is probably unenforceable.

You are lucky to have all your plants fertilised! Just make sure they don't nest and at night turn the lights off and secure any pets/livestock

AC cleaning should be paid by the Tenant, deep cleaning should be paid by the Tenant, adjustments on water electricity and gas should be paid by the Tenant. If you arrange for these yourself and present bills to your landlord then they will not deduct from the deposit.

And an awful lot of Farang Thai wives also have boyfriends learning from Thai men. How many Farangs realise they are supporting their wife's boyfriend who find Farang wives very attractive with endless money enabling a full life of leisure?

 Found one in our house curled up in glass slats in downstairs  toilet but fortunately we have a mozi screen.

Nice gentleman  from  City  Hall took it away alive.  Said it was a Coconut  Snake??? 

A reminder that  BB visa debit cards will no longer work next year and can be changed to MasterCard or Union Pay at your branch. Changed mine to MasterCard as Union Pay seems to be a Chinese imposition!

If the UK cuts trade links with the EU worth 615tn and expects the US to up trade from 182tn to 797tn then they are certifiable! Nothing will change as Billionaire's are happy with the current arrangements and will make sure Politicians do nothing to interfere with their ill gotten gains with taxpayers footing the bill.
