EVENKEEL

I do my extensions early using the monthly deposit method so an agent can be used if need be. Bangkok Bank in Jomtein is Knowledgeable about issuing the proper paperwork needed at immigration.

Just saying that my SS is deposited into Bangkok Bank and I use debit card for cash. The bank account was set up years before retirement.

Yes, he does. The 800K is needed to obtain his Non O 90 day visa, then for 12 month extension he needs to show 12 months of deposits. Then the 800K is no longer needed.

whoop de doo, good on you.

It's still funny.

To get started you will need 800K in a Thai bank for the Non O, then 12 months of 65K baht deposits for the 12 month extension.

And yes, there is that.

He didn't have to leave, he didn't want to pay the 4K.

Thanks for the answers, I'll just over size everything like I usually do. Some technical answers are beyond me. I just simply thought galvanized was popular because it was cheap which isn't true. So, I'll see what I choose.

1 km close, I built outside car port here with steel, primed and ends capped on the supports, just minimal rust.

The American people are just to ignorant to decide who to vote for. Now it seems we need the courts to decide for us. I can't be the only one who sees a flaw in this.

I know if I get a quote for a job building a porch area with materials included they will use cheapest materials like galvanized. I did a 6Mx7M car port and I went with builder to pick out the steel and paid labor separate. I haven't priced the galvanized steel, and strength of build is more a consideration than price of materials.

Tired of the manual clippers, but also wary of buying electric ones. Anyone have experience with these such as how it is to have blades sharpened. Best brand and so forth.

Always wanted to stay Hotel Del Coranado, right now rooms go for around 20,000 baht a night. One thing about the SoCal ocean is it's just always so cold.

Traffic on Klang, Beach Rd was wicked.

Take them around once for me also,

Seems this election won't be about voting in the best candidate, it's about voting against the candidates. I can relate, if it has to be Trump, well so be it.

Remember first getting to Isaan, meeting a family relative behind the wheel of a songtaew waiting to pick up school kids and he's drinking a can leo with a straw.

I figure the pudgy ones to be Indian.

Just got back from Krabi, 5 star hotel packed with Indians. These were not the dregs of society by any stretch. No real complaints but when waiting in line for something they sure do enter my personal space a bit too much.

Posters had to dig up a 10 month old thread to post and start the ball rolling again. Posters who have never lived in the US have more and stronger opinions than it's citizens.

Plane fares heading north are exploding.

The Hilton with a full ocean front room would be my choice, go to the mall for dining and enjoy the festivities from safety of balcony chairs.

I told my old lady recently that I planned to spend all my money before the end. She goes, "what about me?" Well, what about you. I've bought 2 homes, 2 vehicles, you don't work, you don't save the money that comes your way. We have a kid together which will get left over money, property in US. My MIL has 2 ex husbands who live nearby and neither gives her squat, it's the thai way. So, I don't feel the least bit bad about my way of thinking.

So, we ended up at Holiday Ao Nang Resort, they overbooked so upgraded us to a suite with pool view, 4K+ a night. Very, very nice. The buffet breakfast was cool with ocean view. Many nice restaurants, 7-11 close by, beach across street. Drove to Koh Lanta, stayed at Lanta Sands, Klong Dao beach. Having a car was almost necessary there. All in all a great time.
