    One must be very naive to think "any" government official has some common sense.  Yes you are right but they will abuse their power at all cost as they are not allowed to lose face. I would contact the higher up authority or his superior and appeal. YOu should also inform your embassy. BY using an agent you are only helping them to stay corrupt.

     

    Thanks SomechaiCNX for ur well intentioned reply.

     

    I wish to clarify that the worst corruption I personally experience is from my own country,

    incl.

    my own consulate.

     

    Actually,- I find many Thai government offices to be righteous ;

    Thus,- I am inclined to think that they have a mind-block with understanding the true meaning of "monthly average income of at least THB 40,000", or some other phrase to that effect, & instead mind-block-ally interpret it as meaning ;

    "monthly average income that must always be of at least THB 40,000"

    despite there being absolutely no phrase "that must always be" in the written pre-condition given to the aspiring applicant.

     

    Interestingly,- in my renewed efforts to pursue this matter,- I find that the Thai Immigration Bureau officials who agree with my interpretation of the facts are very intelligent attractive females.

  2. Many useful replies to my original post ;

    Thanks.

    Even if some is speculation that we would need authoritative source to confirm its assertion

    e.g.

    de-facto grey-listing -- in universal computer system no less -- the applicant for particular request at least

    [ Ref. kensisaket ( 2 posts prior to this one ) ]

    And,- I do think it has likelihood of being true because I have it from authoritative source that this facility to grey-list etc. is within a certain international collaborative system [ not actually immigration system ].

    Indeed,- one can be victimized by that collaborative system even if one is righteous ;

    Such is the power of the Nomenklatura within the corporates & professional bodies & quangos & governments.

    Pursuing personalized corruption committed by the organisation, or part of, can be enough to cause that.

    I believe the simple straightforward answer to your question is  NONE.

     

    As far as rationalizing or proving who is right or wrong............  i believe that is not going to

    change any minds or create a different result.      

     

    I am hopeful ;

    Some representation about this issue made by me to another location was met by some officials with "lack-of-mind-block" ;

    And,- it was put to me that I should write to superiors about the situation.

     

    I appreciate that the crucial written communication given to me is "righteous" & "clear" & "certain" & "unambiguous" & "actually easily understood by the ordinary-intelligent-man-on-the-street fluent in English, & that there is "good-heart" in the Bureau awaiting my helpful written communication [ hopefully with names of provinces -- obtained from yer good-selves -- that do indeed honor this statement if it also so written ] to them.

    I am not aware of any office accepting the average income option when using the transfer of 40k baht income.

    I think they do not consider the average income applicable to the transfer option. They might tell you it is only meant for those using income from working proven by tax payments.

     

     

     

     

    Following their carefully composed written communication of "Monthly Average Income over 12 Months",- are they not beholden to honor their "Core Values" towards it ?

     

    e.g.

     

    Oneness

     

    Up-to-date with Universal Standards

     

    Reliability [ & Trust ]

     

    [ Competency ]

     

    Overall Fairness

     

    People Orientation

     

    [ Service-Mindness ]

     

     

    I put in brackets those Core Values which I view as not victim of the mind-block.

  5. Dear Fellow Thaivisa.com Posters,

     

    I have been refused 12 Mnt. Extension of Permission-to-Stay following Entry with Non-Immigrant Visa Type "O" given for Reason of Visiting my Thai Child -- Visa obtained in directly neighboring country last year -- because the Immigration Office of the  particular Province state that my Average Monthly Income over 12 Months must be Minimum of THB 40k despite their own Literature using the term "Average" ;

     

    In my civil [ of course ] discussions since the refusal,- I am encountering a genuine mind-block from some Immigration officers, of clear high intelligence, regarding the crucial qualifying term "Average" ;

    They, with their mind-block, fail to understand ;

     

    Monthly Average Monthly over 12 Months = Sum of all the Income over the preceding 12 Months DIVIDED BY 12

     

    e.g.

     

    Possible that Monthly Average over 12 Months ==>

     

    40k + 38k + 39k + 43k + 40k + 40k + 42k + 39k + 39k + 40k + 42k + 38k DIVIDED BY 12 = 40k [ i.e. THB. 40k ]

     

    I trust that originators of the qualifying term "Monthly Average" were motivated to be fair to both Parent & especially the Thai Child,  with most likely a Thai mother also dependent, upon having the foreign Father present in Thailand supporting them, given that currency rates can cause the Parent's income from foreign pension to be on occasion  below THB. 40k.

     

    Anyway,- provision of list, compiled from post[s] here, of provinces which do accept the Monthly "actual Average" should prove to be very helpful to overcome this impasse.

     

    Thanking yee all in advance for kindly providing to me names of provinces which do accept the Monthly "actual Average".

  6. Hi OneMoreFarang,

     

    Perhaps it is wise to select each power tool on its own merits but notwithstanding that it is of a reputable brand ;

    Likely to be the situation that :

    Brand X is better than all the other Brands for GOOD + CHEAP particular Battery-powered Power Tool

    Brand Y is better than all the other Brands for GOOD + CHEAP a different particular Battery-powered Power Tool

     

    Re ; Battery-powered Impact Drivers

    Berala as a Brand was highly recommended to me by an excellent Thai technician who worked in the R & D department of a major motor vehicle plant ;

    He told me that his Berala has lasted for years of daily frequent robust use,

    incl.

    removing wheels from hubs

     

    I note that the Berala 98Volt DTW-285 or DTW285 models on Lazada.co.th are only in choice of :

    3/8 Inch Male Drive

    or

    1/2 Inch Male Drive

     

    Personally,- I prefer to get a 3/4 Inch Male Drive ;

    Because,- most of the Impact Drive Sockets available in retail shops are of 3/4 Inch Female Drive

     

    Prices start from approx. THB 1,600

     

    As expected ;

    2 Batteries supplied free with the tool ;

    All fit into a supplied free plastic carry-box with integrated handle.

     

    I am a touch concerned about the genuineness of products for sale on internet platforms though.

  8. Apologies for delay in returning to lastest posts ;

    I have been busy nursing a physical ailment ;

    Now, having some respite,- I can respond.

     

    IMPORTANT INFO. TO INFORM THIS THREAD ;

     

    A returned emigre from Anglophone-lands ???? Thai technician informed me that he previously created a "working" Installation of Windows [ Windows 10,- I think ] on a Portable USB Pen Flash Drive that worked fine in the beginning but over a few months deteriorated in performance, & finally could not function at all.

    He thinks that Microsoft has online system to sabotage such installations ;

    So, with all of above in mind coupled with my own difficulties in trying to accomplish an installation,- I decided to switch to installing Linux.

  9. Hi Userabcd,

     

    That is a very helpful post for me at this moment to re-invigorate this project that I shelved until I finished doing major housekeeping of my laptop ;

    I decided it best that I backup everything before I start trying to create the Bootable "Linux" Operating System based USB Pen Drive ;

    And,- ahead of doing the backup,- it would be wise to accomplish excellent housekeeping.

    I am ever so close to finishing that housekeeping, & thence the backup.

     

    Hope to update this thread during next week with positive result.

  10. Thanks for your swift reply Ubonjoe.

     

    Just before the latest "Amnesty" announcement,-  I received  have Extension to Permission of Stay following Entry with Non-Immigrant Visa Type "O" ;

    That extension finishes late November ;

     

    If I not get that 60 Day Extension today :

     

    1_

    Can I get it on Monday 02 November ?

     

    2_

    Will there be a fee for me despite I dutifully applying just ahead of previous Amnesty date elapsing & thus did not benefit from the  after-thought "for free" AND "no need to apply for" latest Amnesty Extension ?

  11. Dear Fellow Thaivisa.com Posters,

     

    I would greatly appreciate yer very earliest kind return here with reliable answer to the following question ;

     

    Are the main Thailand Immigration Offices of each Province open today [ Saturday 31 Oct. 2020 ] for to accept visits by foreigners seeking the special 60 Day Extension ?

  13. Yet again,- all great replies ;

    Thank yee.

     

    I am currently far from that technician's location ;

    It will be some weeks before I may be able to re-visit ;

    Whence I will diligently elegantly relay what I have learnt here to him.

     

    YES,- THE MAN'S IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS REACTED AGAINST SOME SUBSTANCE

    I GUESS THAT WE CAN JUSTIFIABLY REFER TO HIS REACTION AS AN ALLERGY

    And,- the allergic reaction could get worse.

     

    I wonder myself if his skin condition is separately, or also, caused by a different factor ;

    e.g.

    engine coolants other than water

     

    Still,- his boss did say in our presence that Chlorine is the culprit though ;

    So,- I presume that medic have studied his personal condition & decided it is caused by Chlorine ;

    But,- to what extent did they study his personal condition ?

     

    Returning to other hazardous liquids that may, or may not, be staining too ;

     

    QUESTION ;

    What good + cheap Barrier Cream would yee recommend ?

     

    And, not forgetting that a Barrier Cream may cause allergic reaction too.

     

    And,- latex inspection glooves can.

    And,- the internally-powdered version of latex inspection glooves can.

    A possible reaction is hand becoming greasy, & with subsequent use of the offending glooves they become like a jelly.

    Heart attack a final possibility I gather.

     

    I suspect that condoms can cause similar allergies with some users.

    Crossy's post -- post #3 -- through its link informs the reader that increasing numbers of public water supply authorities worldwide purposely use chloramine.

    Also,- my research prior to creating this thread concludes that chloramine cannot be removed by boiling.

    However,- the following portion of Lacessit's post is a gem resounding with penetrating logic [ because chloramine is a compound formed from reaction of chlorine + ammonia" ] that I add to my essential findings ;

    "Chlorine reacts with amines in water, such as those found in human and animal urine, bacteria and viruses, to form chloramine compounds."

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    If chlorine but not chloramine is purposely within public water supply,- I believe that the chlorine is eminently removable by simply having a clean basin of the water -- with insect screen effectively completely covering its upper surface -- presented under the hot sun of Thailand for some hours whereby the chlorine evaporates.

    choicest "free" Linux Operating System, & Libre Office & minimal no. of whatever other essential "free" App.s yee recommend, loaded onto a USB Flash-Drive Memory Stick such that I can reliably, & easily, repeatedly use that USB Flash-Drive Memory Stick as personal computer when I physically connect it into another computer anywhere [ e.g. intenet-cafe computer ] for use on internet & offline.

     

     

    Regrettably,- I realise that I may need baby-step guidance ;
