  1. 13000 baht...... how would he know how much is inside before removing what is inside to count it?
  2. exactly what i mean, people watching videos of people watching videos and reacting to them and when i say react i mean pull stupid over expressed faces ????
  3. The one i like now is people watching videos of people watching videos.????
  4. it only becomes permanent when you die here. Until then you only have permission to be here for as long as the date stamped in your passport says.
  5. The quote you posted does not state or imply duration of stay but simply they must be "continuing to do something he was doing before he came to Thailand" running a dropship biz can be done from anywhere. so this would be fine, as you are continuing your work, nothing changes however afaict the OP is looking to ship orders from here, which is not the same as managing a dropship biz
  6. would likely depend on where money is being accepted and how much work is done this end ID is now required for sending small items so there will always be a record of how active a person is but whether anyone is actively looking is another story the biggest issue in past for myself was rising cost of registration for small packets, which iirc is now at 75 baht if you are simply sending a large parcel of stock to US weekly then i would not see that as working here (and this could easily be done for you by whoever you purchase from) but if sending 50 small packets daily then regardless of any specific wording of laws this could likely be seen as working here, by any officer looking to make an arrest or receive a brown envelope The digital nomad visa statement above, implies you would be doing the same work you would be doing if not in Thailand, if you come here and start packing and sending orders from here, then you would not be "just continuing to do something he was doing before he came to Thailand" getting a digital nomad visa is another question, as last i looked the requirements were not really setup for actual digital nomads.
  7. First Stop Honda Safety Training Centre Chiang Mai i would also look for any motorbike tours as a fun way to gain more riding experience prior to hitting the road, tell her the bike she will get will depend on training and ability (can still buy whatever) do not skimp on the helmet buy her the best helmet she can find, one that she will want to wear.
  8. seems about right if running pumps all day if you are not at the property run the pool pumps AT NIGHT and turn them off in the day off peak electricity is half the cost 10pm-9am
  9. send by small packet at Thai post under 2kg, cannot seal package though string, staples are fine.
  10. everyone so quick to point the finger at the cause it is funny. 4.
  11. i would suggest you figure out exactly what you want before contacting any company the installation is expensive if they have experience with solar dont be sold a cheap system make sure you know what brands you want or will accept i imported my batteries as could not find decent here FYI, felicity solar the company i bought from now have a BKK office so shipping is quick, inveters and batteries how many units are you currently using, whats your monthly bill? when do you use electric the most? for hybrid you have 2 options, max out panels/inverter and spin back the grid meter as much as possible in day (not advised) or spend less on panels/inverter and add a battery you can add battery upto about 5-6x the PV i just added an extra battery to my setup, have 3 x 5kw inverters with 60kw battery but i am offgrid so you could put a 3kw inverter with upto a 15kw battery, which would likely be about ideal for battery longevity
  12. They make it legal and tax it
  13. no it is not. call it what you want but it is not "meat"
  14. me too please @Red Phoenix
  15. i just had a 2 storey house built, 100% solar (15kw + 60kw SOC), well with tower, landscaping all for just over 2m (excluding land) i cannot see it being any different from a nicely designed knock down or modern trailer/caravan seems there are many similar options here at a much cheaper cost
  16. yeh, seems a bit steep for a knockdown house, which is basically all it is, with a premium price for the musklovers
  17. Happily would, when one of you wealthy old guys fund it.???? don't download bitcomet or some other torrent client. as you would then have what you need don't find a torrent site or two you like either. i got tonnes of old stuff and plenty of hard drives, DM me if you want to buy a hard drive.
  18. strawman argument????‍♂️ no, i would not do that either.
  19. No. and it is not "meat"
  20. Should not judge a book by its cover Many ferangs here are very successful, which you would never think by their attire as it is very hot in Thailand it makes sense to wear less clothes or lighter clothes forget our western programming of what is smart you would not expect to see ferangs walking around in the heat suited up too often Many ferangs living here may have likely spent the past 30 or 40 years suited up everyday and are just happy to relax now my neighbour in my last house only got dressed if he went outside nothing more than his boxer shorts at home shorts, tshirt, flipflops/crocks/sandals is the attire of the day here Imagine getting dressed up to go to Big C ????
  21. he is making this up? "If the kid's no longer living with you, your VISA extension will be invalid." ????‍♂️ Goodbye.
  22. "can" is not the same as "am" meaning currently you are not, but you "can" "500k" is not for a 1900 baht visa, it is to be able to see and be with your kids without any headache as i said, there are also other ways, that do not cost as much as an elite visa, but EV should be affordable for you. hence why i said it was the "easiest option", albeit not the cheapest. personally i would not put money first, but i dont count in beers so maybe that helps. you seem to complain a lot about the woman you married and had kids with from my POV, it seems you let her take the reigns more than you should now you only want the reigns back as your visa status is in jeopardy. won't be back on this thread, won't see any of your replies.???? have a nice day, hopefully your son finds his own way.
  23. what on earth are you talking about i am making stuff up?..... i was referring to britmans first line tell me this ain't so. you just admitted this was the reason for you having custody
  24. i was referring to the first line go away.
  25. so it was all about you and your visa, not their education or well being or happiness kids got split so you could keep visa "well I think I can teach my son" implies you are not currently teaching him anything. i assume you are not 50 yet, but there are other ways you can stay here, elite visa being the easiest option (which i assume you could afford being an IT expert)
