Thanks for the fix Mr. Owl….. WAT is coming along nicely…. Have a Thai friend named Bom… guess if at the airport I’ll have to say .. hey you… got a couple good rains last week with strong winds one night. the grass is green again which the nephews will like … pay them to cut the grass with gas mower…I don’t even have to ask anymore… helps build character.. Mowing yards in US in the 50,60s gave me and brother play money… then we moved on to newspaper boys… 555

My teenage niece that lives around the corner on dirt road orders things and usually the driver stops here.. if wife isn’t home the driver calls her saying he’s on the way….. if nieces I just point towards their house

Bangkok Bank holiday schedule from bank website. May 1,4,5 Had two branches until one was closed in Market which was open 7 days. The lone branch is Closed on Saturday and Sunday.

I really don’t care what people say in whatever language…. If it rubs you the wrong way find some other place for massage and whatever…

1,000 baht well spent…

Glad to see the young man on road to recovery…. All moto rentals all over the world should legally be responsible that renter have valid motorcycle license and are offered insurance for a fee. If the rental shops don’t check then shut them down. dry roads and law abiding vehicle / moto drivers ….riding a motorcycle is relatively safe… add rain , oil, sand even the best riders go down …

Thanks for that Red… appreciated

UDT has always been pleasant over the last 7 years… as long as you’re prepared. Non O Retirement

Five adult family took long distance bus in neighboring country to Thailand border. My son’s expensive camera was taken from under bus storage. It had to be at the initial point because the only time the storage was open before starting the journey. He didn’t lock his bag.

Maybe it’s a way for cheap advertising cause seems there is a very high percentage of thief’s caught..

It’s good the government heard the screams and are helping people out…

Up here in Isaan countryside some of us are considered abbynormal (formerly known as rednecks).. Willie says you’ve got to be crazy to keep from going insane… I’ve not met any nutbags in my 8 years here… all is good ish..

Red thanks for the detailed information. Not knowing much about solar and where to buy hardware to do DIY … I’d go with a set-up/size similar to yours… any suggestions? Have prices for hardware increased or about the same? The current lecky bills is 25% more than the usual over last 2 years. Think it’s time to offset some with solor… Thanks

On their escape they dropped (slid) the moto and got up and fled….

OP best to contact immigration directly so no hiccups .. below was on internet regarding “”F” Extension of Stay Those qualified persons can obtain an additional one year stay permit counting from the date of entry in the Kingdom pertaining to the Office of the Immigration Bureau's regulations on extension of stay.

If good things and bad we’re equally posted in the news … there’s a lot of good people here…

Interested in installing a small system here in Kumphawapi to offset the electric bill that jumped about 25% of normal when used on hot days.

I reckon I’ll have an interesting time at renewal of 5 year license. Birthdate Instead of June they put January information was taken from that says Jun.

No problem just have both and show extension when you enter Thailand. Hopefully you got a Reentry permit when you left Thailand.

Can’t reply one way or the other because I wasn’t there…. No matter what country you’re in or if visiting others we should show respect….

Good on you mate!
