Be strong!! Not rush it.

 

Easy.

Make the plan/design. 

 

Get 3 price. For the worker price. (For the job complete, not per day).

make 10 step by step. Agree only step by step. Pay when one step finish.  If you not happy one step, change the worker.

eg 1 step is footing, then slab, frame, roof, block, window, ceiling, out wall, in wall, bathroom, tile, kitchen.

step by step. Take more time a little, but not disappoint/angry/stress. 

 

Be strong. Your money. YOU are boss. Not be friendly to much. Better they scared you.

 

 

you buy the things to make it. Concrete, block, window etc. Again get three price everything. Three shop.

Not rush to buy or agree. Be strong.

 

The price up to you. eg. Some tile is 100 sqm. Some is 1000baht sqm. Standard size door, window etc is cheapest. You want special order = 2 or 3 time more. 

Sanitary is big different also. Some toilet = 2,000 baht. Some 20,000 baht. 

 

Not forget go testabaan BEFORE do anything. If start job before then they have power. (Can ask for money) 

Also know how much power you need. Eg water heater, air on, light, etc and go to electric office BEFORE. Sometime you must pay for transformer (can be expensive) 

 

good luck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good advice yinn, pretty much what i did

Gosh this is so exciting, Brexit really is wonderful after all.

I did'nt realise their was a social security scheme here, anyone know how much someone recieves.

Was nearly killed sat morning by dvr coming in other direction on a dual carriageway luckily for us he hit a lamp post which steered hin back into the reservation, lots damage to our car caused by concrete and stones kicked up by the impact.

Was first told he had a micro sleep but subsequently found he was drunk, 11:30 am.

Im gobsmacked, just shake my head

Same problem phu yai told everyone to burn their rubbish.

We recycle as much as we can and sell it , but plastic bags wraps tissues etc is burnt. All our food peelings or waste is given to the dogs or the ducks.

Stinky fish, som tam coming soon to your local chippy.

Required this may at chaiyaphum imm.

Thanks, Ubonjoe. I'm glad that you had no trouble with one early payment. I'm probably fussing unnecessarily but I would be happier with a few more members coming forward with examples of minor leniency being demonstrated by IOs. 

Hi sniggle

Had same problem with my extention in july, imm officer quiereid it but once expkained she was happy.

Why is it that bank statements are acceptable at embassies such as Savannakhet, but at the airport they insist on cash? That's Thai logic. Make things as incomprehensible as possible and maybe they can keep out all those pesky foreigners who want to come in and spend shed-loads of money. Sometimes I think it's a language problem. Thai is so imprecise that even Thai people can have conversations and walk away not knowing what has been said, as happens many times with my wife. Watch the FCCT video on TM30 on YouTube. The senior Thai generals don't even understand the questions. Their answers are unintelligible garbage, after 2 hours nobody has learned anything, Thailand in a nutshell. Nobody knows what is going on, even the people who make the rules.

 

They keep saying that they want to keep bad guys out, but all TM30 does is register an address which almost certainly would be fake for a criminal anyway. I always used to doubt the quotes about Thai IQ but now I believe it. They have no idea how to administer their country. There are many ways of finding criminals, inventing moronic pieces of paper one after another is not the way to do it, but don't tell them that because they think they are really smart despite no other country on the planet using such pathetic measures,

 

I love Thailand and Thai people. But I just cannot understand how on Earth such a large country can be run by people like these. Within a few years tourism is going to be dead. Who is going to come here with the outrageous corruption and xenophobia? I haven't even got into the fact that the artificially high baht makes Thailand more expensive than almost any other holiday destination in the world. Any ex-pats who still have a functioning brain will be moving to a neighboring country and taking their money with them. And good for them because Thailand doesn't want foreigners. Vietnam and Philippines will give you a lot more respect, if you can move there then you can look back at Thailand as it rots from the inside out.

I  watched this video of the fcct, and unfortunately your summation is spot on . The immigration bosses couldnt make head or tale of a question asked, it was embarrassing.

has anyone used another transfer provider like Worldremit or WU Account transfer? Do these show as an FET?

I used xendpay recently, this gave the FTT i needed on my statement and bank book.

By the way if anyone else has been to chaiyaphum imm  and heard \been told any different it would be good to know.

I was at chaiyaphum immigration office on  monday am for my 90 day report. I asked what would be required next year as i renew extention start of july, the io stated that many people were asking the same question and that my only option bei g married was to put 400000bht in my acc two mo ths beforehand. She didnt even discuss monthly income proof of any discription.

The 400k baht only has to be in the bank for 2 month for an extension based upon marriage.

More than one account will be accepted as long they are in your name only. You would need a letter from the bank for each account. Plus updated bank books.

 

Hi joe

Personally im going to wait and see for a while before i make any rash decisions, i could gothe 400k route if required but was thinking presumably i could go back to a yearly multi non o based on marriage at savannaket yes?

Just tried to sign petition, itnow has the 5 signitures required

You're correct for Europe - but that will depend on where the OP is travelling FROM.

 

Leaving UK that is the official amount but UK Customs can enquire if you're carrying £1000 or more - if they're not satisfied that it's your money, honestly obtained, they can confiscate it.

Note my use of the word can, not will!

Correct, few years back i was coming here on a holiday, was stopped at boarding gate by a police mann and his sniffer dog.He quietly asked me how much i was carrying i  told him 1900 and was on my way

Last time i checked you could travel with upto €10000 or equiverlant, over that you need proof of origin and declare it.
