Peter's never watched Crocodile Dundee.

That doesn't mean he's not gay.

Ya call that a knife? I've groomed my testicles with bigger weapons.

The 10,000THB payment is one time only, that gives you a 5 year visa with border runs every 180 days? Or you have to pay 10,000THB every entry? If it is a one time fee of 10,000THB, and all you need to do is do a border bounce twice a year, it sounds like a much better deal than keeping 800,000THB locked in a Thai bank account etc.

So, what's the deal in layman's terms, for those doing annual retirement extensions? Instead of keeping 800,000THB in the bank here (or using an income method), you get a visa for 10,000 that lasts 5 years, but you leave the country every 180 days?

Israel is as pure as snow. Never committed any atrocities.

You couldn't locate the lighting area in a hardware store? It's literally lit up.

You and newbee2022 must drink from the same child safe bottle.

1979 Brussels bombing - Belgium. 1987 Rheindahlen bombing - Germany. 1981 Hamburg bombing - Germany. 1981 Bielefield shooting - Germany 1981 Herford bombing - Germany 1987 Monchengladbach car bomb - Germany. 1 May 1988 deadly shooting - Netherlands. 1 May 1988 2nd deadly shooting of the day - Netherlands. More than a dozen dead, dozens maimed and injured.

your's? Quit while you're behind, Paddy.

And do you consider your obviously massive level of intelligence to be Irish or American?

The Irish have had enough practice over the years. Shoot the violent Irish terrorists as soon as they lift their petrol bombs.

The Irish assimilated? You spelled bombed wrong.

The Irish never emigrated anywhere.

Thanks. Around an 8 year ROI. And out of interest. A ballpark figure for 10kwh per day (daytime use only), no batteries, and it automatically switches to the PEA grid (SUB system) when the sun goes down or it isn't producing enough juice?

Thank you very much for the great information. If going to the expense of having batteries, this would probably be the better situation for me. So, it would be an SBU system producing around 20 units/kWh per day. Can any posters give an estimated cost of such a system? Thanks.

Thank you very much for your informative post.

22 units per day would be around our max usuage. The install price of 160,000THB included all components (panels, batteries and all other materials, setup and installation? When or if the batteries run out of juice, for example at 4am with air conditioners runnings, it just automatically switches over to the PEA government electricity? Does it automatically switch back to solar once the sun is hitting the panels again?

The most expensive bill here was for 772 units of power for one month, which was 5800THB. That was an extreme month in terms of heat, and also usage as family were staying here which bumbed up the air conditioners usage during the daytime. It's usually much less than that. But going with 770 units of power as the max ever needed. 24 units per day. How many Kwh is that? Some used in the daytime, most used in the evening and night. What sort of solar power rig would be required to produce 770 units of power per month, 24 units per day, and what would the approximate cost be? One story house in Bangkok with no overhead obstructions. TIA.

Yes, staying in bed all day is literally living the dream.

There is no problem with the Thai child owning the house. It can be transferred to them at any age. An adult will need to be signed as the legal guardian of the land until the child is 20. You can be the legal guardian.

I often laze in bed all day as my pension doesn't cover anything else.

Oh the amount of times I've beaten and stabbed someone to death.

Thanks, I will consider bananas. Are there any other fruit trees that should be successful in such an environment?
