  1. ^^^ A 5,000kw diesel generator seems a bit overkill to run a couple computers... You should consider the noise and fuel economy of such a large unit... Is a ATS really Needed?... If you have a UPS for the computers they will stay on for 10-15 minutes after a power outage... this will give you time to manually start the generator and plug an extension cord from the generator to the UPS...

    What could CM immigration's point be in, apparently, asking for hard evidence? 

    How does it benefit anyone in immigration or other officials? 

    Maybe in their review of a few places in Chiang Mai they found more than a few 50yo American digital nomads working while on a retirement visas and decided a firmer visa approval process is needed (and well within their rules) :coffee1:

  3. Here is a good source to see pricing and models available here in Thailand...

    I think a small Kipor Inverter model like the IG2000 would work... You would need to work out the power needs and size wattage double... You might look into a UPS also to keep the system up while you get the generator going... Lazada.th.co has these

    Print the monthly statement each month or great interval not exceeding 6 months. Keep on file at home because you have foresight and know you'll need them later.

    I have been keeping my own quarterly printouts from online banking but worry that the printout may not meet muster as it is not "certified" by the bank ?

  5. My bank (Bangkok Bank) only seems to keep 6 months balance records... I usually get this printout certified from the bank and have it with me when do my extension and have my US Consul letter of income...

     

    Agree the last few years my agent looks at the bank statement but does not take it to submit to immigration...

     

    My question is a 6 months certified bank record showing regular monthly transfers in sufficient or do they require a full year?... If so how does one get a full year when the bank only keeps the last 6 months on file?

     

    The bank book seems unless for me as I never use it and when asked to have it updated the update seems to only add one or two previous entries and the present balance...

    what makes u think Im arguing against it then?

    and  common sense especially in Thailand aint so common

    Nice... Absurd argument doesn’t work so you move on to making derogatory stereotypes about the Thai people... The prejudice within your heart is showing...:coffee1:

    ...whereas posts littered with such phrases as  'argument, bigotry, ignorance, tolerance, prejudice , homophobe, straight' etc are perfectly ok... providing they have the desired effect ?

    I assume you are objecting to my use of the phrase "willful ignorant prejudice" in describing someones actions?... You seem to consider this unfair... I note you do not arguing that I used the phrase incorrectly... Again try arguing the facts...

    This absurd rabbit hole argument failed before in the same sax marriage debate...

  9. Peera Pharmacy looks to be at ground zero for the tourist trade...

    I would worry that their prices would be higher...

    Also as a general rule I go in with the name of what I want on my phone - show them it and say “Oow GENERIC” (showing them I’m Cheap Charlie- ;-))... If they bring me anything in a box I am suspect that they are up selling me a expensive alternative - Then I ask Mee GENERIC Mai?...  ?

    It is of no benefit to a child only gratification for same sex couples... 

    These couples have the same maternal/paternal instincts you have... Don’t let your willfully ignorant prejudice turn them all into Joan Crawford... :coffee1:

    Did Dr Chanakarn go off to better things? At least, phone seems to be disconnected

    Sent from my Pixel using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
     

    The office is only manned during business hours that are limited... it’s better to just go to the office... there is just a short queue if any... There may be another doctor in place of Dr Chanakarn

  12. There is a nice lounge in the Taipe airport on the second level above the mall area... ~$39 and they have showers... I always used it when coming from the US to Thailand... nice refresher after the long haul flight across the Pacific 

  13. When you say close to Nimman & Maya do you mean walking distance or will you have a motorbike?... Your price range is not going to get you “luxury” in that area...  That being said my first stab at a place would be below... It’s tucked away from the traffic but within walking distance... The condos are set in thier own green area and the pool make for a great chill place...

    Any out of left field things to do in CM?

     

    City seems a bit boring.

     

    Running naked through your local supermarket screaming "freedom for skinless sausages?"

    That would take people by surprise. And be a bit out of the left field, I would imagine.

    I think I’ll pass on my weekly visit to the Rimping by the river until this thread dies down... :coffee1:
