Strikes me that their Line information is neither useful nor up-to-date if it sets out TM30 requirements which do not, in practice, need to be complied with, as you found out!

Blimey, that interpretation of the title never occurred to me.  
 

 
I cannot find Ayutthaya Immigration on LINE.

Any chance that there might be water seeping behind the tiles and making the grout look darker than when it is dry ? Maybe check all is dry where the 'missing grout' used to be.

Well i went to immigration with TM30 prepared !!
She waved me away telling me “ some immigrations are strict, but not here in Ayutthaya “.

That’ll do for me !

Global carry Weber
Sukkapan carry Davco
Home Pro carry Cotto
 
I too use the wifes toothbrush with bleach but only when she is out

1 - 0 at HT !!

Hang in there Terriers !!

I used Sodium Bicarbonate mixed to a thin paste using Hydrogen Peroxide applied with a tooth brush, and then remove with water and a sponge.
 
Have been using Weber grout with good results.  

I report to Ayutthaya Immigration and added them to Line ( they had a big board up advertising this ). They post lots of useful and updated information ( their words ) I.e. timings and clothing etiquette during the Royal cremation and visits prior.

Anyway today I got this.



As I returned to Thailand last Tuesday and didn’t bother going to IO I think I will do a TM30 and visit tomorrow !!

As the title suggests I am having some discolouration of tile grout in the shower area.

It’s a new house, I’ve lived here for 4 months and it was vacant for approx 1 year before that.

I noticed some badly done/missing grout in the bathroom so set too and sorted it. But already the grout in the shower area has discoloured, other areas in bathroom are still good ( obviously the shower gets water thrown at it several times a day ! )

I used Cotto grout ( white ) for no reason other than Homepro had a boatload of it.

Just for information: there is a small window in shower area that is open 24/7 and bathroom door stays open except at nighttime when we put bedroom air con on ( from 10pm to 7am ) so there is ventilation.

So my question is:

Anyone suggest any better brand of grout ?, any additive to the mix ? , or any tips or pointers in general ?

Thanks in advance

Andy

Yup! When I try only with my wife to speak one or two words I’ve read in English phonetic print see looks bewildered as I repeat many times with slight variations until she asks me to describe what am I trying to say in Thai. When I convey this she says it in Thai with a slight tonal or inflection difference and laughs how bad my attempt was and tells me what I was saying is “not the same honey”.
No ability to extrapolate my attempt knowing I’m clueless to the nuances of the language. I learned there’s no hope for me speaking Thai when she told me “ba” was the word for jungle and I couldn’t enunciate it properly for her ear despite 10 attempts because there are six variations of the pronunciation that all mean something different.
Now I stick to learning what a few Thai words mean for common things when she speaks them and teaching her a little more English slowly. Over the years she’s progressed amazingly and picks up books and watches English tutorials with Thai and English speakers on YouTube on her own accord.

Good thread !
I’m not on target for buying a disability scooter just yet ( fingers crossed ) but you never know what might happen in the near future.
Just happy to see TVF members helping each other with some excellent advice ,keep it up guys.

At the end of my road joining a larger road with a 7-11 on the corner, makes life difficult pulling out to turn left as there are always cars/pickups parked out in the road !! Of course the mc’s don’t slow down at all and you have to stick your nose out into traffic to see, just like the video shown .

Have seen a couple of accidents similar to the above ( nothing really serious ) , just waiting for my turn !!

From what I see in the video, pickup vision is restricted and mc rider speeding along oblivious of the risks he’s taking . Nothing new here !

Hey, I ain't got no titties, bannork.  
 
I don't even look like Tittaporn.  This is what Tittaporn looks like and I don't think you want to meet her.

I just came in from the UK yesterday with 2 x vegemite ( for 'er indoors ) and 3 x Bovril (for me ), as it was in checked luggage no problem at all.

So what is my point in this thread you may ask ?

Well, as it's my gf who eats the Vegemite i suggest you man up and switch to Bovril !! 

 
Indeed. They are getting much smarter at cross referencing all the government departmental data bases.
 
If you claim a UK address with the DLVC to renew a license and are registered as non resident with HMRC for tax, you might raise a flag somewhere!
 
 

Just watched David Gilmour - Live at Pompeii on iPlayer.
If you’re a fan of his ( or Floyd ) well worth a watch .

Sat at the airport now waiting to go back to LOS after a 6 week spell in the uk .
After coming here for my son’s wedding and to spend some quality time with my aged father I must say that the only thing I will really miss here is family.
I spent a few weeks here in June and must say that it’s a completely different feeling, English summers are great ( short but great ) but the winter months are pretty unbearable IMO.

Of course I am a visitor here ( left the uk in 1995 ) and have a different outlook now about the uk.
I guess if forced I could survive back in the uk but would not be by choice.
