So what do you tell immigration when they ask for "copy of bankbook, show last 12 month" when oing the yearly extension of stay?

Motor bearing problem or faulty capacitor (if the pump has one).

It is obviously not an installation made by a Thai "electrician", they wouldn't use Schneider breakers and they wouldn't use blue wire for neutral and brown wire for live which is a European standard. The connection between ground busbar and neutral busbar is done with a jumper wire in Europe, not with the main circuit breaker. I agree that the main circuit breaker is faulty and has to be replaced.

I printed it since it should be included in the document stack. https://aseannow.com/topic/1102143-an-idiots-guide-to-the-retirement-extension-process-at-samui-immigration-office/?do=findComment&comment=18279727

They don't listen to you, eh?

The checks takes 4 weeks so he'll need to go back to Pakistan unless he can find a less stringent embassy then the one in Vientiane.

There is no customs fee between China and Thailand because of the China-Asean Free Trade Agreement. I've bought solar equipment worth many hundred thousand bahts from Alibaba and I frequently buy goods from AliExpress and I've never paid any customs fee.

If the fan not works then the symptom will be exactly those that the OP described, A/C radiator being cooled down enough when car is moving at speed but not enough when standing still or moving slowly. Those electric fans are a common cause of failure on older cars.

Yes you can move it when you change telephone and that is easy if you keep the old phone number. If you change number then you'll have to go to your bank office and have your number changed. First installation can not be done over wifi, must be done over your sim cards internet.

You can't do that, the app is tied to your phone number at install time. You can apply for browser web access to KBank and that is the only way to access KBank from two devices.

It was 200 baht last time I used it but that was 5-6 years ago..

Make sure you get a Deye branded one, Deye makes inverters for a couple of other companies like LV Topsun, Sol-Ark, SunSynk and they all share the same hardware platform but the firmware differs between them. Deye branded inverters have a brilliant function in their firmware which they call "Time of use", it lets you specify battery usage during six daily 4-hour time slots. You can there set up the depth of discharge you allow in a time slot, a battery power limit during the time slot, and you can also choose to charge the battery from the grid if depth of discharge is lower than your set value when entering a new time slot. I have read users manuals for umpteen different inverters and this is a function that I've not found elsewhere, it was one of the reasons why I did choose a hybrid Deye inverter.

and that is exactly the reason why I avoid being registered for a two-night stay in Bangkok or Hua Hin. The pink Id card has my birth date and my full address but no passport number It is a valid Thai Id document and so far it has always been accepted as such by the hotels I've stayed at. I would probably be a bit more interested in doing that if Immigration followed their regulations.. I'm also a house owner and has lived at the same address for more than 20 years, I don't necessarily agree that I should have to report my address (TM30) once per year while at the same time doing it another four times per year (TM47) and that just because they have misplaced their old TM30 database. At least I didn't have to make a hand drawn map this year and they didn't notice that my stamp in the bank book was two days old...

Don't use your passport when checking in at hotels in Thailand, use your pink Id card (which I assume you have since you have a yellow house book).

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.
