Apologies to all. My mistake to take my past experience with Thai manufactured home goods and project that.

Wife says quickest way is to go to the head of the village. Have not seen any way to see the info from the land office online such as a map you can zoom in on, get the Chanote number, the use that to find the owner.

Due to being forced to buy Thai substandard parts instead of well made ones.

Ya, there is some kind of tower structure going in over the last couple of months also. Shaping up to be a nice park and just within walking distance for us and the wee one (digs rock hopping around the pond). Agree on 7/11 cleaning up it's act and ya, that BKK bank AMT there is grody (accumulated grease from the guys cooking near it?).

Have a seasonal financial business in the US. Been in CM for 6yrs going back the the US for 4mo while my family gets to live here for 12. Been going on now for 6 years. Have queried my clients recently about coming back to live in the US and their resounding opinion is, why!?

Ya, I saw the other park heading East on the other side of the road. Awful lot of park development just to make it look used. Most people I have seen have just planted a ton of coconut trees and took care of them just enough to sell the land. Wife chimed in that those guys also owned a good chunk of second ring road properties and that they were just paying back the community for their good fortunes.

Are you speaking of ways to increase it's value in the future? Tough to project. We had offers of 3 million baht per rai on some pretty damn nice land outside of Chiang Mai about 6 years ago but wife thought it too cheap. Now, I would take 2.5/rai...

There is quite the nice park at about 2/3rds development at that location. Anyone know anything about it?

I deal with about 600 people a year in my business and a few have confessed they have never had the flu in their long life despite not ever having a flu shot. There are documented cases of people naturally immune to HIV. That is the thing about large populations. There is enough genetic variety that if some serious disease came through there would probably be enough naturally immune to repopulate after it burned through.

There is a rather large pond not far from the house and when it really pours, the wife goes out in the street with a net. She rarely comes up empty. Then, when the rain stops, she goes out to the remaining puddles and gets some more. While I don't eat the fish, she uses it in cooking for her and her relatives. Free food, they love it.

Lots to consider everyone, thanks again for all your time and effort!

Perfect, Thanks!

Yup, Chiang Mai office.

I was afraid of that. I do return to the US every year about mid Jan for 4 months to work so is it possible to step across the border towards the end of Nov without a re-entry permit and obtain a tourist Visa, come back in for the remainder of my time and then start the process of a multiple entry Non-O based on marriage once I come back from work and time the extension application better. Sound about right?

Does not make a difference how early you apply, they always want you to come in for the extension stamp 30 days after the expiration date.

So I'm on the one year extension by virtue of being married to a Thai wife from a non-O Visa. The problem is, this cycle started years ago, the leave Thailand date is Nov 28th, I file the renewal package about a month ahead but immigration always makes me come back on Dec 28th for the actual stamp which is always interfering with Dec plans with kids school winter vacation. Is there anyway to get off this current renewal cycle to a month earlier? Thanks in advance!

Guess you have not been following what has been going on in Malaysia recently: https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3145410/its-our-only-home-malaysias-changes-mm2h-visa-scheme-throw

Size 2! Sounds like your looking to get it on with Princess Tinyfeet! Wait, we are talking shoe size, right?

No man, I think you meant I good 'ol fashion Lo Pan:

And refer a friend...

There is that. Just had the tech guys out who tinkered with the wireless router provided by the company. 500Mbps up and down on 5g is up to snuff, the 2.4g went from 20Mbps to over 100Mbps. Looks like original setting were the lowest bands in each frequency. Thanks for the response.

Most of the massage places at the moment. Oh! wait! you said trees, not bushes...

ya, just watched some recent 4k videos of walking street at night for Pattaya and Phuket and still looks dead to me.
