I had a home visit in September after getting an in-house O visa, around 6 months later had a surprise visit.

The online system remains erratic. My recent online report took 11 hours to approval, the previous one taking 13 days !!

Leeds had most of the possession and shots on target yesterday but still managed to lose on penalties against Salford City ( who ? ) yesterday. Despite a good away win at Ipswich last weekend they are still struggling to find form and hit the net, this weekend’s clash with Wednesday could go either way.

Very nice, some nice performance EV’s appearing from China with the BYD Seal, MG X Power and now this. Talking about the Seal, latest rumour is some right wheel drive versions have been spotted at the docks in China heading for …. ?

My memory fails me on the Fulham question …….. but i was only 2 1/2 years old ????

Whether Yinn was a male or female ( or one of the other 50 genders now available ) is not important but it certainly got some of the more sensitive posters hot under the collar even a few years later !! Maybe “ Lee” is the Yinn imposter ???? ( actually i believe Yinn was who she said she was ) . Seems a little strange some insecure posters are now scouring other sites on the Net to see their pseudonyms in text in some kind of virtual false pride ritual ? How fickle have we become .

I have ventilated seats, paid under 1 million baht.

I just watched this, it was definitely average and I would give it a 6.0 rating. The best part was when Ten Years After kick in , unfortunately that’s in the last 5 minutes.

For LFP batteries it is also recommended to let drop to around 10% ( stay close to home ????) and charge to 100% occasionally ( once every 3 months I think ) to balance the battery and get the best from it.

Yes, I missed your “ In towns “ comment earlier, hence my Shell link. A new Central where I live has around 10 CS’s, on my frequent visits ( daughter in law worked there) only ever seen 1 car charging, often zero. As you say, locals will charge at home and maybe day trippers will charge while eating but majority will charge on the road if required.

That’s true !

Shell have other ideas . https://www.shell.co.th/th_th/motorists/shell-recharge-hpc.html#

Yes, I’ve seen that also, a couple of hundred baht at some dealerships. The dynamic range update was supposedly in the 1.6 OTA in Australia but apparently it didn’t work and the 1.6 OTA was pulled until some issues were sorted.

Well it’s definitely different. Keep us informed of any further outcome on this matter.

A little light comedy drama from the great Jack Rosenthal from ITV’s Saturday Night Theatre ( 200 episodes from 1969 to 1974 ) when British tv was about real life struggles. In a very similar vein to Kes . A lot of these comedy dramas available on YouTube, if this is something you would like to see more of check out The Chain and The Knowledge on YouTube ( adding Jack Rosenthal after the title ).

From the website of the construction site in question:

Until the OP returns and confirms it is indeed an extension of stay , from an O visa, based on retirement and his friend has a WP ( some photographic evidence required ) then this thread is nothing more than speculation.

While the Foxes and Saints have adapted to their new opponents it’s a poor start for the Peacocks and the less said about the Owls the better. ????

A friend of mine, an American, was staying in Rio on business in a fancy hotel and everyday he would go down to breakfast leaving his briefcase with wallet in his room as he would only be 10 minutes or so. After a few days he sensed his money was disappearing faster than it should and the only time his wallet was left unattended was breakfast time. He did a test by counting his money before he left for breakfast and sure enough when he returned it was $20 ( equivalent in reais) light. The next day he went for breakfast but immediately returned to his room in hopes of catching the thief, but as he checked his wallet it was all in order !. Puzzled by this he started to leave the room when he sensed movement in his wardrobe !! Picking up a hairdryer, the only thing close to hand (????) he opened the wardrobe door and there was the head of security crouching inside !! Needless to say he was reimbursed, the guy was fired and he had a great story for the rest of his life . Apologies for the slight off topic post I just like to share.

In a short period of time this topic has gone from coffee to luggage to cooker hoods to plywood, yet nothing about the OP’s question. If I were you i would ask for this thread to be closed and open another entitled “ P & S or D-One water tanks, where to buy in Pattaya “ only, because once you started to make comparisons the thread is lost .

Some of these “I speak fluent Thai and find these guys practising their English annoying “ have short memories. Think about all the market traders giving you a blank look when you tried to buy a kilo of oranges or the waitresses confused when you tried to order a Jack and Coke or the songtaew driver when you asked if he is going to Cicada Market etc, etc , Give the kid a break.

My brother died of complications from a kidney transplant Owl , he was 22 years old and i was 19 . In the military police stationed in Germany they shipped him back home to St James hospital in Leeds immediately. The RMP were amazing, installed a building in our back garden with light , drainage and a dialysis machine, my parents went to class to learn about building the kidney ( filter ). A sterile environment with masks, gloves and gowns worn at all time, looked like a garden shed outside and an operating room inside. He had a transplant about 9 months later and all looked good after a further 6 months or so when, on a routine return visit to the hospital they reported complications and about 16 hours later he was gone. Friends of my parents suggested they should sue the hospital or call for an enquiry, my parents weren’t interested, knew it wouldn’t bring him back and just wanted to be left alone to grieve. Ironically , when i met my wife here her brother was a monk and also suffering from kidney failure, having dialysis regularly he waited 9 years for a transplant. He got the call from Bangkok around 4 years ago while attending his grandmothers funeral and another brother took him immediately to BKK. He had the transplant but the kidney was mounted at the front and gave him a heavily extended stomach something I don’t remember with my brother. The hospital gave him a 10 year expiry date and more or less said that would be that !! Now the family are living on a countdown and talking as if in 10 years time ( 6 now ) he will just expire …… very strange. He lives a normal life now as a part time taxi/tourist guide but also spends a lot of his time/money in assisting the local temples , I suppose in repayment for the 10 years he spent there. The 9 years of dialysis have left their mark, while my brother had a fistula ( plug in ) on his wrist for plugging in to the machine the bil has 3 large lumps on his arm, one on his neck and stomach ( both since removed ) as they struggled to find a place to make the vein connection. He returns to the hospital now every two months for a check and to receive the mountain of medication he still needs, he stays with us on his way there and back for a night and it is always a pleasure, despite his problems he is a cheerful fella. Apologies for the the long dreary post @owl sees all @rickudon

Seems like the OP has an obsession about bar girls ….. 2nd topic on the subject this week !

+ 1 They seem to have been under the impression that people would be wondering “ did he or didn’t he “ and they could spin it out as long as they liked !!

The op stated he traded texts and photos with the construction company if he posts the photos here then maybe he will get some reasonable answers. A simple search of the construction company involved i learned they undertake small projects up to complete roof replacement, swimming pool tiling and bathroom design and renovation. Without giving us details on the work to be undertaken it is impossible to say whether the 2k survey fee is unreasonable or not.
