  1. I just opened a Bangkok Bank A/c in Blueport Hua Hin. 

     

    I thought my passport which has my non O visa details would be sufficient.  Nope. 

     

    They handed me an immigration form in Thai with no indication of what I needed to do but "go to immigration " I walked next door to the shopfront, only to be directed to main immigration. 

     

    Of I went, to be told I needed a full copy of my passport, 2 photos and proof of residency, which I get with a copy of my wife's blue book and a certified copy of her ID. Back to immigration and 500 baht for this document completed. Back to the bank,and hey presto, just like that, after 3.5 hrs of running around, and another 600 baht for the card, I have my bank account. 

     

    Amazingly simple!

  2. I have been told by my wife that a lot of the burning in and around HH this year is due to a new land tax law. Land will be valued at zero value if it is being used for agricultural purposes. Hence the banana and coconut plantings along the main roads. Otherwise land tax will be much much higher.

     

    Been great to see the land cleaned but as people rightly point out the burning is almost intolerable. Let's hope in future years it's back to normal as we all know the authorities don't care. 

  3. There is 22 yrs between us. After 10 yrs together we are both still very happy. My children and family treat her wonderfully. My friends here want to meet someone like her. 

    The future is unknown but I have built and planned a house so I can stay here till the end (30+ years I hope) She actually thinks she might go before me ???? because of my families longevity. 

    Live life to the full. 

  4. Livenet TV apk and a few others are free and been around for years. Not always HD quality but pretty reliable. It can be put directly on true android TV like TCL. Or buy a device for less than 2k baht on lazada (x96max are good). People in your local area can prob do. You need decent fibre internet. Might be enough. 

     

    I also use a paid IPTV ordered from UK but free may be enough for you. I am in HH.
