So when was the new system introduced? I have done yearly retirement extensions and 90 day reporting for the last 5 years obviously without having a valid TM30... My last TM30 report was not 6 years ago but 5 years and a few weeks ago and was done in a dimly room on the bottom floor of Immigration in Maenam, a room with just one immigration officer and a computer. That they have lost their old records is no surprise to me, neither is it a surprise that I have to give them a TM30 receipt every year from now on even when I am in their "new" system. In a more developed country the TM30 and TM47 databases would be a single one and all info about an applicant would come up on the computer when entering a passport number. Here instead the number of required documents increase from year to year..

Did my retirement extension yesterday and had to go back home and take a photo of myself in front of the postbox which has my house number on it. The photo covered only wall and postbox, house could not be seen and that they don't care about - house number is what they want to see. Document for notification of the residence of foreigner aka TM30 receipt, TM30 must have been reported using your current passport!!! My last TM30 report was 6 years ago with an expired passport, I had the receipt slip in my current passport but it was not accepted, they said that they could not find any TM30 report for me in their system. So this makes me believe that their TM30 database is separate from the TM47 database where my address is known and where I had made a 90 day report on-line two weeks ago, they can only check for TM30 using your passport number! I could have gone home once again and made it online but decided that it was worth the 300 baht the visa company opposite the coffee shop/recreation area charged for doing it.

You can wait. Don't panic!

There is no farang involved in this case, the guy was Thai.

Hundred Pipers is on par with Red Label but much cheaper.

It started decades ago.

What an honor it must be to be awarded a doctor title by an entity that is basically a nursing school!

ok, but don't expect it to run Win7 after it is returned. Win7 will not have driver for the chips of a 1 year old motherboard.

Putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

Still same, duck in East restaurant chicken in West.

The link you gave in your first post. There is even Sept 2023 photos there among the 60 photos

There are a few dated march 2023, the same month you couldn't find them.....

That is what I paid a year ago, go to a dentist and not to a private hospital, they tend to be more expensive

oh the envy..

It is an official Id document and much easier to carry around than a passport. I use it when traveling and staying at hotels which then don't (cant?) report ou as a foreigner staying there.

Nah, I don't do photos of food I eat or the restaurants. Do check the dates of the photos from your google map link or go check for yourself if it is the same duck restaurant today as it was before covid.

Misconceptions. The ones they've got about you, the ones you've got about them.. yada yada

It still is very good and they are still there, I ate there today. It is popular so you have to get there early (at latest 1 o'clock) because they serve Khao Kha Mo after they are sold out of duck.

The factory settings give you quite a big operation range for both frequency and voltage so I don't think changing them will improve anything, normally your grid should be far away from those lower and upper limits. You really don't want to allow a wider voltage range, those values are for protection. If you are using the Solarman PC software then you can easily see a list of alerts and check them against the 24 hour graphs for that day to see if there are any strange dips in production or consumption.

I have the same inverter, just the 12KW big brother of yours, and I am running it with factory AC settings. I had a couple of warning alerts the first month but they seem to have disappeared now. A few of them occurred when PEA high-voltage fuse blown and was probably caused by the transients/ringing on the HV-lines, nearby lightning is likely to do the same. I wouldn't worry to much about those warnings, they never cut off the inverter for me.

I've told you what I have and I've also informed you of the variables involved. Start with reading your PEA meter at sunrise and sunset for a couple of days, mixed rainy and sunny, so you get an idea of your power consumption. Then decide how much of a 24 hour day you want to cover with panel power (and battery power). With that said I'm now leaving your thread.

How long is a rope? You are the only one who can decide how many panels you need which is mainly based on your power consumption between 07-17. The size of a single panel and its power rating is available from the seller or you can google it for a specific panel. Reduce 10% of panel power to compensate for losses. Choose an all-in-one off-grid hybrid inverter which can run in grid-tie mode, it will produce up to its limit (or panel power limit) for your house use and if that is not enough then it will take the reminder from the grid. If the inverter dies after you die then everything will be as if you've never had an inverter, your family will get a PEA bill for every KWh they use. No need for an electrician to come and scratch his head.. If you are thinking of adding batteries then it can be done later but then you may need more panels depending on how much battery storage you choose and how fast you want to fully charge them. 07-17 is daylight but best solar power is between 9-15. My system is 16 455W panels in W, 16 455W panels in east and a Deye 12KW 3-phase hybrid inverter and 25KWh of batteries. The batteries covers the time 17-07 and are down to 25% at sunrise, then I usually have enough panel power between 07-08 to start charging them again while at the same time produce enough for the house consumption. Batteries are usually full right after midday. Then comes the rainy season and make havoc of all your plans and calculations...

Coming back with a WP and a request letter from the employer is the best option

Sometimes god punish immediately

Sometimes immediately, sometimes a day or two later. It all depends on how many applications they have in the pipeline and when the big boss approving them is in the office.
