Thanks for all the input. On the topic of mold/mildew. Perhaps the the question that worries me most (and the owner is a stand-up guy, so I want to keep his place in good shape). Is there any product(s) I can buy for a reasonable buck to tackle this problem? Or am I overthinking it?

Thanks Henry. As with "the office", do you mean the Juristic Office for my condo or PEA?

Hi fellas, I'm going abroad for 3 months and I've only earlier left my condo for a couple of days, or a week. Any ideas of "Do's and Don'ts"? A couple of small issues on my mind: - Monthly Electric Bill (PEA) - how long can it be unpaid until it's problematic? Any way I can pay it online? I usually photo the bill with TrueMoney, super convenient. - Should I cover the sink (kitchen and bathroom) as not to have smell "coming up"? It doesn't smell now, but I don't know the result after 3 months of no activity/flow. - Should I flip the main power switch? Probably a Yes here, but I just wanted to know if you argue otherwise. Any other ideas? Bless

Hi Fellas, I have a 40sqm bedrom with ~15y old tiling in it. To the best of my knowledge it's in great condition i.e. no bulging/breakage anywhere and it's straight. I would like to change the floor to a laminate. Would it be possible to put it on top of the current tiling? Any major downsides to this?

Hi guys, I'm looking to fully remodel my Bathroom (approx. 10sqm) and would like to hire one shop/firm to do it all. Back home, I would probably do some parts myself - hire some friends etc. but I have to realize I'm in a disadvantage here, hence I look to fully outsource the work (and materials). Heard of any reputable names? Bless!

Not entirely uncommon that very drunk people, left unattended, die in custody (suffocation etc.). Perhaps something similar happened here, and BiB thought it would be better if it was a suicide? ????

Hi, I'm currently on a visa extension (30d). 1) Would I be able to buy a new bike from a shop? I hear conflicting statements here, that I should be on a long term visa. 2) Getting a Residence Certificate. Would these docs be enough: - Passport + Copy - TM 30 Copy - Rental Contract Copy - 2x Photographs

Let me share you an anecdote. A good friend of mine, from Scandinavia, used to be a project manager for the second largest construction company in his country. Some +10 000 units under his belt. Anyhow, he retired and bought a worn down condo here in Thailand - and set to renovate it. I visited him the other day and was impressed by the floor. Turned out it was Vinyl. He made a small rant about how the technology around Vinyl had improved significantly the last 1-2 decades. https://www.mannington.com/residential/blog/2019/06/7-reasons-why-vinyl-plank-is-better-than-ceramic-tile What do you guys feel about Vinyl? Let's take a "all in" perspective i.e. price of material and installation.

He was not wearing a shirt, he was at a party location and the water throwing couldn't have passed him by unnoticed. Simply impossible. If it happened at the Airport? Mmmkey, but this was The Famous Walking Street. Classic Turkish rage, that's all.

To my surprise TAT e-mailed me after a couple of days 1) stating that they've recieved the complaint and then 2) told me that they have notified the local immigration of my complaint. My embassy replied that the notified my email. (In my correspondence with my local embassy I opened the conversation with saying "I know you can't do anything....but I want to report these circumstances etc.") Again, I will make no difference alone (of course!) but in the greater scheme of things I believe that if authorities at the higher levels get weekly complaints perhaps something will happen.

I will probably get some laughs and ridicule from this, post - but, here we go: I filed a complaint with https://complaint-center.tourismthailand.org/en In short, I stated that 3-4 hour queues (in the sun), children waiting for their parents, old people confused of the instructions and almost fainting - for a 30d tourist extension is not worthy of any nation. I also added that Immigration had dozens of "agents" at the premise offering shortcut of service for a fee. I rhetorically asked if this was a public service. Also, I sent the same message to my local embassy. Yes, I know - nothing will happen. But, I also have this philosophy if I don't complain myself nobody else will. I encourage you all to make yourself heard. Takes a couple of minutes.

Couldn't agree more. Also, the audacity of the staff to handle 8-9 "agent applications" out in the open; for every 1 legit application. I saw staff wearing legit Polo Ralph Lauren's and stamping passports with gold rings on almost every finger. It's unbelievable with kind of swamp it has turned into.

Do we use Air Purifier in combination with an AC? I was under the impression that perhaps most AC had a "cleaning" system built in, no?

Hi, I'm applying for a ED Visa and the school informed me that I need these two documents (among others, that I've settled already???? 2. Copies of House Registration Book of the residence (Blue book) 3. Copies of every page of Chanote (Property title deed). The juristic fell over themselves clueless and helpless by this request, but two weeks in I got a copy of the blue book where the owner of the condo was named. The second item, "Chanote", is that something a juristic office should be able to produce for me? Also, as it's not my name in these documents (I only rent), should a copy of the lease be sufficient to satisfy immigration?

I stayed in VT5 and it was all fibre (via 3BB). I had 1GB/500mb of which I had stable 800/MBs in actual speed - all day. Seems somewhat strange if a newer building from the same contractor opted for cable in a recent project (VT7)? Moreover, Cable, these days, perform far above 50Mbps so there's something here that doesn't compute. How about you contact 3BB yourself and see if they have your building? Sometimes juristic office is clueless.

Hi, I (finally) got the app working and I've login/password details for my residence. I can now make a new registration if I enter again. I entered last week via the border and the juristic did a registration for me, for this first time. However, the juristic didn't enter any stuff such as port of entry, visa expiry, etc. but only my name and passport. So, with that in mind, should I do a completely new entry with "full information" or would you guys think this is enough for my upcoming extension? I would like as little problems as possible at immigration...

Hi guys, The juristic did my TM30 the other day (I entered via a border-run from Cambodia on the 6th). I'm planning to do an extension and I just noticed that the juristic didn't enter any stuff such as point of entry, type of visa, expire date of stay etc. I managed to get a username/password for this residence so I can do another TM30 registration. Should I do another one, right now, with all the info applied - or do you guys thinks it sufficient with the one the juristic did? (essentially my name and my passport).

If one manages to download the app, can I use it without any involvement from the owner(or juristic?). There were some buzz about a username/password "for the building", no?

Anyone here can provide a direct link to the Apple Store Section38?

Somewhat weird question, I'm thinking of doing a Cambodia border run on a Sunday. Would that spell any problem? Is it less or more crowded compared to a, lets say, monday?

State/Region hospitals - I understand that foreigners are "allowed", but are they running for profit for foreigners only while non-profit for domestic users? Just want to understand the system.

Immigration is beyond horrific nowadays. 80-90% of applications processed by officers - in daylight - are agent/under-the-table and the rest 10% are normal applications. Old people need to stay outside waiting for 5-7 hours, families see a full day taken of their vacation to make an extension or residence cert, children need to stay with their parents 5-7 hours in line. Truly distasteful. When money gets involved we get to see the absolute worst side of Thais.

Settled, then ???? Thanks!

Hi, I'm about to apply for my first METV and I noticed it has a 6m validity from issue. I was under the assumption that the validity "started" at first entry (I'm very well understood with the max. 60 day stay). I guess I should apply for it maybe 10days before leaving, to get a maximum stay then? Or am I missing something here?
