Enjoy your ฿800 Thailand. Don’t spend it all in one place.
You and several of my friends are doing the same. Spread the word brothers.
No doubt there will be replies from those who say I should not be stirring things up. Hey, compare our <deleted> poor efforts to the protests in Hong Kong.

Of course it's Thai so it has to be "world class."

Typical Thailand. We were recently told each person is only allowed to have six plants. Now they go the other extreme and open a school teaching us how to grow the stuff.
I am tempted to turn up with Lady Roadrunner's extended tribe..... at six plants each that will amount to enough to start a farm!
(Thinks... maybe if I get the entire tribe stoned they'll quit bothering the Farang)

What happens if we all refuse to do the TM 30 and just pay the 800 Baht fine?

A friend just returned from Pathum Thani Immigration to report that they are refusing to do TM 30/28 as it's not necessary and too much paper work.
"Finally," (as the Coyote said when he caught the Roadrunner), finally we buried them in their own paper!
Of course, this being Thailand, every Immigration office will have a different rule on this. But there are signs they are cracking.

So you're the <deleted> that keeps others awake. The bass note in particular travels right through the building.

I have similar questions to the OP and found some answers here....

A Thai schoolgirl was selling snacks door to door to raise money for her school for whatever reason. Farang offers to buy all of her snacks at full price. The girl refuses - "because then I won't have anything to sell, will I?".
Probably similar mind-boggling ways of thinking going on in Thai businesses, mixed in with a dash of Thais preferring to do business with Thais.
I was that Farang poster.... I owned three businesses here. Oh Lord send me some paracetamol. They should erect a sign at airport arrivals.... "forego all hope ye who enter here."
I never figured out what the <deleted> is wrong with these people.

This subject gets me so angry, I have encountered this problem several times.
If you rent you can always move out, but if you bought it you are stuck.
Thai condos, and most of their buildings, suffer from having only single width walls. As your noisy neighbour is a Farang you have a chance. If he's a Thai and you complain, he may just turn up the volume or punch you in the mouth.
Avoid confrontation and try the friendly approach first, I liked the bottle of wine and a note idea.
Failing which, complain to the management. If that does not work, try the Police.
Failing which you are left with a direct approach, which ranges from 'excuse me but would you mind'..... and may escalate to whacking the a-hole with a baseball bat. (Hard to find in Thailand).
Unfortunately there are many a-holes who don't care about other peoples peace and quiet.

How Many Are “Stuck” Here With No Way Out?

Your original post does not say why you suffer with gluten? Have you got tested for Coeliac Disease or do you have what is commonly known as Leaky Gut Syndrome?
If your gut is hypersensitive to Gluten you are likely going to react to all grains including (to a lesser extent) Maize and Rice. Wheat and Barley will really have an effect.
You will probably also get problems from Dairy and Soy.

You absolutely right but before any meetings need to know if they can supply the order . With oil believe it or not , so far all would not change packaging or size.
on the phone I ask them , if we do a contract , would you be able to change from standard 18 l to 20 l and instead of square tin into round tin and the answer so far is a no .
Maybe you could offer to supply them with the 20 l packaging?
It also helps if when someone says 'no' I ask them why not? Though with Thais the answer may give you brain damage.

Her Russian 'boyfriend' will have to start again.
He'll be back with a new passport before Christmas high season with another CIS female.
Not with fingerprint scanning he won't.
And at her age, if banned for 10 years, she'll be too old to return to her former occupation.
45,000 on overstay, the mind boggles. Have they no respect for Thai Immigration?

The only thing that i can change is start going to their headoffice or factories which would be very time consuming, as phone calls and emails are not getting anywhere.
If you want to do business in Asia it is recommended to actually meet the people face to face first. Be friendly and non aggressive. Have the patience of Jesus!

I would not add it to the fuel as this stuff can cause abrasion to piston rings and bores. Best to remove the injectors for cleaning. Or buy new injectors. (I found some on Alibaba that were much cheaper then genuine originals, they work fine and restored performance).

Have we finally succeeded in burying them in their own paperwork to the point where they surrender?

If losing money due to reduced sales, time for a major price increase.
That's a fine example of Thai logic.
They increase prices without thinking, will people buy it? So there it sits on the shelf unsold.

take the stick out, wipe it, then dip it.
Sounds like good advice... though I would put a condom on the stick.
As for the car not pulling up hills. I would go with the mechanic having disturbed something by accident, as it appears it was alright before he serviced it. Under 2250 rpm may be a clue.... as this is below the point where the turbo boost kicks in.

motorcycle + alcohol.... great combination. Confiscate the bike, end of problem.

This is an odd one. Presume you checked the transmission oil level?
Do the engine revs rise without the car moving much? If so, wrong grade or wrong type of transmission oil?
Have you any more detailed info?

Not sure I would ask them. If they find out you are abroad you will get less pension. Use a UK address if you can.

Trump is also finding the Chinese unwilling to bend on the trade problem so I expect he will get a 'small deal' as we move closer to 2020 ans an election
The Chinese sense of time is different. The Chinese premier is elected for life and so can play a waiting game, whilst Trump will only be in for another four years, that is if he gets re-elected.

My experience with Tinder
in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Posted
Isn't Thailand wonderful. Love in a duty free zone. You can fall in love, get married, have the honeymoon and the divorce and all in less than two hours.
Whether it was 'free' or not?..... I've never met a woman who did not cost me money one way or another.
