So I still have to sign up for a TrueVisions contract and then buy the additional football package

I saw that most of the European leagues will be broadcasted by TrueVisions. They have a basic subscription for entertainment and other stuff then a different package for 7 more football channels. Of course I'm completely disinterested to entertainment, series and this stuff, I only need football. Is there a way to have only the football channels?

I live in an condo building where everyone minds their own business, no one talks to anyone, they only vent on the Line group like children. The only one who could act as a witness is the security guard (if it's his shift).

Thanks, Tod. I have to say your answers have put my mind at ease. P.S. I like your KISS shirt.

Yes I'm over thinking, actually the officer was super relaxed and nice.

I don't think anyone likes this paranoic monitoring. I especially don't understand why I should live elsewhere if this house is my own, unless they want to take the measurements of the house to give it to a Thai when I'm dead.

They gave me this STM.11 form, stapled it to other documents, including the house contract and my wife's ID, then they sent me downstairs to print it and give them back. Meanwhile, they also gave me the date to come back to get the extension. I don't know if they'll show up without calling or call ahead, but even in this case, I risk not answering. In fact, I rarely answer unknown numbers because they're always boring call centers, insurance companies, or others asking for money.

So am I cleaning the house for nothing? 😁

Exactly, it was this form. I never saw it before. ps. I'm on marriage visa extension.

Chaeng Wattana, Bangkok. Does condo's security guard counts as a witness? No, it's not the first extension, but the first time they visit me.

This is my first time, too. Did he come to your business, not your residence? Did he call you before coming, or did he just show up? My wife has to be present? should I let her take a day off?

Today I went to Immigration Office to extend my Non-O visa and the nice office added me a new document to allowing officers visit to check if the visa documents are true. When usually they come? Will they call me or will make me a surprise? Will they check wardrobe to confirm if I live with my wife?

The original one is that white one with red box, right?

Every razor is different. The design of the head of the razor is also very important because it determines the so called aggressiveness of the razor, therefore how deep the cut is. The distance between the head and the safety bar also determines the blade gap, the bigger the gap, the more attention the razor requires.

I like the Old Spice, but I realised that it's quite different from the Old Spice I was used to buy in Italy. (I just bought a bottle, probably was watered, don't if it's the standard flavour). Never heard about Imperial Leather, can you share a picture of it?

It's understandable. It's not an easy business in an area of the world where men don't have facial hair. Not to mention the absurd import duties that the Land of Cryptic Smiles applies on these products.

But the safety razor and the shaving soap in this picture you bought from Siam Wet Shave 😉

Are you sure? In my country (Italy) and in Europe in general I can shave in every barber shop with good products and I find an infinite selection of commercial and artisan products. This is not the same for Asian countries.

I can't afford a scrub for that price.

I usually shave every other day, not because I care too much about what Thais think of my face (I’m quite sure that when someone wants to hate you, they'll always find a reason anyway). It's more of a necessity for me to let my skin breathe. With the heat and humidity here, my super-oily skin tends to get hyper-oily, and having a beard only adds to that greasy feeling on my face. It's a bad sensation for me.

These are the steps I've been following lately when I shave: - I heat up some water and soak a small towel in it, which I then apply to my face for a couple of minutes. - I remove the towel and wash my face with the remaining warm water. - I soak the synthetic brush in the water. - I apply an oil (usually coconut or jojoba). - I take the brush, squeeze it, and start swirling it on the soap (lately I've been using Whitebeard's Peppermint, made in Thailand by a farang), then I lather it in a bowl. - I apply the lather to my face and begin shaving with one of my Japanese-made safety razors. (I use different blades, I have a set of about twenty, to find the one that suits me best.) - At the end of the shave, I rinse with cold water and apply a pass of alum. - I wait a minute, rinse again, and put a drop of oil on my face (as I haven 't yet found a good aftershave).

Shaving foam is almost devoid of water. For a comfortable shave, it's always better to hydrate the skin, so lathered soap with the right amount of water is ideal.

I just use local produced Whitebeard's soaps, but of course cannot be compared to the shaving soaps produced in the West. Unfortunately I don't have opportunities to go back home so many times.

From what I understand, Mr.DIY is a superstore of cheap Chinese products that they can't even manage to sell in China. They just repack in an acceptable way and push these products all over the world to rake in money from people who think they're buying useful, affordable items.

Great guy, I recently bought two made in Japan safety razors from him. They've also a website, just tap Siam Wet Shave on search bar.
