I live about 10km south on Chiang Mai and drove by 3 of the 126 hotspot fires on the way back from diner tonight...

Yeah, I've been asked for a map. And it has to be hand-drawn. You can't just print out a google map. Weird.

My guess is they want to see if you can on the fly truly know where you say you live... My guess is a number of people applying for extensions in Pattaya/Jomtien do not actually live there... 

So basically one must have proof of health insurance to open a bank account?...

Diary of an expat in Chiang Mai:

 

November to December - bitch about the cold nights

January to May - bitch about the heat and the pollution

June to September - bitch about the heat and the rain

October - enjoy

 

 

 

It’s not like we can go out and play golf...

OP, have you considered maybe taking up golf ????️‍♀️ or fishing ????? ????

Sadly healthy outdoor activities are not possible for some of us right now...

Today we look like a suburb of China... 

(Note we also outrank them...)

From what you describe she should reapply to other insurers and this time stick solely to the questions asked and answer them clearly but don't give extraneous information.

Curious do the insurance companies here keep a group database of people who apply for and were rejected Insurance (In the US the insurance companies are allowed to share such information among carriers)?

I guess you are very well off, able to blow thousands of baht on someone to do something for you, something which you should be able to do very easily yourself.
I must admit that I have taken the same approach previously with regards hj’s. 

So you get the jist of it...

But many here are rather tight fisted...

Obviously you can give it or not give it, i think everyone knows that

I always start out saying in my broken Thai a do not want to give my phone or email to buy something - I then get a deer in the headlights smile and silence until I relent and punch in bogus info... I have lived here long enough to know it's worthless to make a huff about things and just think of the easiest workaround...

if it bothers you just give them some made up  number and address.

This has been my MO... 

Why do they require your phone and email to make a purchase?

I like his groovy Nehruesk outfit... He is always perfectly dressed for any occasion!... 

The OP got a Non O based on marriage.... What would be the needed paperwork for a Non O based on retirement?... If they are still offering that as an option?

Look good,but what does it do to the pressure of the water ? does it stay the same or ...

No pressure loss at all!

You might think out of the box...

I replaced my master bath hot water point with a hot water tank (see below)... For my install I placed the tank in the attic just above the shower area but many can put it on the outside wall, under counter or above the toilet as you usually see in Vietnam... The unit only need wiring for 1,200 watts (it just has a plain wall plug and we rewired the old wiring into new receptical box in the attic... I chose a 50l as this seemed to suit our needs (two people/showers)but you can get larger units
