How are you "treating" the effluent? IF not treated properly releasing it in any water source could be extremely unsafe for anyone coming into contact with the water.

Its the same in many Provinces now for the last couple years -
Being taxed whilst waiting for work visa & permit. Fair?
Dan O replied to Deserted's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
How are they paying if you have no ID #? Sounds like they are saying they are paying to cover the salary deduction but probably not actually submitting to RD -
Getting a loan with property guarantee
Dan O replied to rak sa_ngop's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
No its not a common method as far as I know and not they way it should be handled. I would not consider this lender and would shop it around and see what other lenders require. -

Then I would avoid them as thats not correct to my understanding. If you transfer ownership you have no legal standing in the property. Are you sure its just not a bad translation. -
Thai banks unaffected by two recent US bank failures
Dan O replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They should never have invested short term deposits in any long term investments without proper ratios of reserves, which they did not follow. Thats what caused the imbalance and the follow on issue. Every financial institution has the same playing field but only 2 or 3 banks tried to be a bit greedy and didn't follow good banking practices and as a Regional Bank weren't required to under regulatory oversight -

Dan O replied to rak sa_ngop's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
No I don't believe you have that correct. You don't transfer ownership to the lender. You do record a lein on the chanote so you can not sell the property with satisfying the loan -

Thats why they failed. They should never have invested short term deposits in longer term instruments without proper reserves which they didn't have. -

Share holders lose but they didn't waste any time making sure the bonus package was paid out before shutting down -

Not sure of your explanation. They failed because they used short term deposits to invest in longer term investments without proper reserves. Interest rates affect the scheme but had they held proper reserves and not done what they did with their short term deposits they would have not had issues. They were also overweight in crypto investments which were also poor performers. You can't blame interest rates for that, its bad management pure and simple. The Fed hasn't decided to halt interest rate increases. Those words are coming from the market not the Fed -
From what you described in your posts it seems to me you are the weak link and not the wife. You seem to be suffering from a long period of depression from childhood and want to blame the wife for your issues to the point of blaming her because you don't want to or are afraid to talk about your issues with her. I feel sorry for you, the wife and certainly the child. You may want to deal with your personal emotional shortcomings and not blame someone else. If you leave, your problem go with you as they are your baggage and not hers

Why would you need to buy BTC in order to get a pin number for a card you already have? Receipe for disaster to say the least.

Unfortuneatly if you didn't outline what your expectations was and what was acceptable before they started you will most likely get nowhere with this. There isn't a standard unless you set it as part of the contract. Skim coating block walls always have deviation like this. The better alternative would be gypsum board or metal studs but its a bit late for that.

Not sure where you are getting your info to make the judgements you've been making on this post. He's not said anything about the wife's actions that indicates she's doing anything wrong. He's not communicating his feelings to her so you blame her. Real winner for giving advice about something that hasn't been mentioned

Have you tried engaging her in other activities like riding your bikes like you used to do. Its both peoples responsibility to work on the relationship and it sounds as if you've fallen into a routine and its compounding your feelings of being isolated from her. Having a daughter should give you both many opportunities to create mutual family activities and improve your bonding. Obviously we don't know all aspects of your relationship so any advice is just a guess.

It is amazing how some tasks that should be clear based on instructions or average thinking can go in the opposite direction. Logic isn't always available in country. I've had several similar situations that baffle me on how the project went so wrong for a simple task. I think if you paint the wood black you'll not see the number very well. I would just remove the wood and take it off and remount the numbers directly to the stone as you wanted. They have cement caulking that works very good on holes and cracks in cement. if the color is a little off you can grind up some stone dust from you wall and add it to the surface of the caulk and you'll blend it right in. As for overreacting to the lady, yeah thai's have very thin skin if you point out an error, even if it's not caused by the person you're talking too. I have the same problem with the wife, so I've learned to just not comment to her if there's a mistake and just deal with it myself.

No its not a matter of ok, it something that ALL transfer facilities are subject to not just Wise or any other method including wire and other bank money transfer routes. I've personally seen the exact same delays with bank to bank, wise, western union, etc. so you cant really blame Wise unless its something they have done that causes the delay. Just trying to help you understand the process but up to you on how you use info you ask for.

Many of your points, while important to you, are really a non issue. Use whoever you're comfortable with but as a money transfer facility they are as close to good and reliable as it gets. One issue you've mentioned a couple times is the delay in delivery on occasion. Those delays happen with all transfer facilities from time to time and most often have nothing to do with the transfer company but the way the Thai Banking system is set up and how those banks deal with transfers internally coupled with holiday schedules in country, Its out of the transfer companies control once it hits Thailand.

Chinese tourists warned not to embroider school names on student uniforms
Dan O replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
All the worry about the possibility of tarnishing a schools image by wearing a school uniform with a name on it but no worries about school staff tarnishing the school image by physically and sexually abusing school students. We are truly living in an upside down universe in Thailand.
