    Review - TM 30 Update after returning from foreign holiday

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted · Edited by sfokevin

    Just wanted to relay my experience of updating my TM30 at the new Chiang Mai Immigration after returning from Christmas in Bagan Myanmar...

     

    I went at mid afternoon on a Thursday and pulled into the front parking lot on the chance a parking spot was available and was in luck (if parking is full exit back on the street and do a U turn and park across the street in the massage place parking lot - 20baht)... Once inside Immigration go to the right stairwell up to the third floor. at the top of the stairs was a young lady who was handing out queue numbers (she gave me 97)... and directed me to go thru the glass doors (that say “Staff Only”?) and to the right where there was seating... Two ladies were manning computer and only one other person was there being helped with queue 96... So the free lady asked for my passport and I said I needed update.... She smiled and typed a few thing into the computer - No forms or Copies of anything needed. All relatively painless... 

     

    Btw Bagan was an excellent 4 day Christmas adventure with Bangkok Air having a direct one hour flight to Mandalay that was 8k round trip!

    concrete garden pond

    For a pond filter I built a DIY one from a large 20gal decorative terra cotta jar... I drilled a large and small hole in the bottom for pvc and set it on some bricks to allow the pvc to exit via a L... these were secured to the jar with copious amounts of silicone... the small pvc comnnects to a small submerged pump the larger one is the discharge (make it much larger than the intake - I use 2”)... the jar was then filled with layer of sacks of lava rocks and green aquarium filter pads... the intake pvc rises just to the top opening of the jar where I have a decorative plan pot that has a hole in the bottom to form a little water pool creating a small fountain pool just inside the pot... this sets next to the pond and I sprayed the pvc pipes brown

    STD testing in Chiang Mai

    The list above is very comprehensive and many of the tests on the list have nothing to do with STDs, like cholesterol and uric acid.  Also, the list "came from a different topic".

    My guess is the tests the Red Cross provide are designed for those who want to know their STD satus and for those on long term STD (HIV/Hep) medication to monitor critical liver & kidney function that the HIV drugs effect like cholesterol uric acid levels...

    I’ve got a Duc Streetfighter 848 and to me there’s no better sound at 6000rpm through Termi pipes, it’s a religious experience.

    I just got it tested at 106db which to me is reasonable but to some may be borderline abnoxious. I try to keep it sedate early/late around residential areas 

     

    Reasonable?...

    any recommendations for automatic gate installer

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    I have a gate similar to the one pictured above... I did a DIY install of the following kit... The kit included tracks that have self tapping screws that just need a electric screwdriver to attach the track to the gate... I just bought a large concrete tile at Kamtiem that I attached the motor to and secured in the ground...

    On Lazada do a search for sliding gate opener for other motors & kits
