Wongkitlo

I have an old fashioned underfloor septic with no rings or tanks. The toilet blocked and we removed the bowl and cistern to find it is blocked by roots. Somebody advised me to (carefully) use copper sulphate.  The only entrance to the septic is through the toilet and I have read the copper sulphate could damage the toilet(don't see how if I just wash it straight through). I can close the toilet for a period after I pit in the copper sulphate as I heard it can be harmful. Thanks for any advice 

Mosquitoes need stagnant water to grow. They are also lazy and stay near to where they are born all their lives. You must have a,water source somewhere  for them to grow in

Easy Corner bar has lots of sport. In Soi Bukhao where the road turns near the market. Pattaya Klang end.

If anybody doubted how inadequate Vance was for this job, and how much of a goon and fraud the man is, this interview and his previous statements in Munich certainly alerted the world to the super low quality of this current Administration. They are a plague on the US.

It happens more and more lately I have experienced no serving of alchohol during those times. 

 

And the two biggest hotels and shopping malls in Korat, have no alchohol at all for sale. 

 

Centara and Centre Point Terminal 21. 

 

 

You should just go and buy some marijuana-available 24 hours.  You can even get it delivered unlike alcohol.

After covid,  to fully finish off the small saunas, the fire department came around demanding expensive modifications. Pattaya Sauna closed along with others. 

Thai people don't seem that interested in,F1. They have a Thai team Red Bull, a Thai driver Albon and love driving cars fast but I don't think they even broadcast it on Thai TV.

I have worked with this property since 2008 Name  Koh Chang Grand Lagoona, Stay this boat sometime when visit property, Last year visit and pay 100 baht to access to GHOST SHIP. 

Good Bye 🙂 Good memory in this place 🙂

I had heard differently about it's history than what the articles say.  I understood it was,a,passenger ferry which he sailed in there and then filled in behind it. He was not having financial difficulties but was old and his family were not interested in keeping the resort running. When I went there 4 years ago most of it seemed in ruins.

Your friend needs to check his Australian bank rate. I have been using OFX for years because they have have always had a better rate than the banks. As of a month ago the CBA has dropped their exchange fee and offer a better rate than OFX. Do not know how long this will continue or if the other banks are the same but check them first.

An added bonus the money arrives with no fees from my Thai banks but through OFX there was a small fee from them.

I'm not in Pattaya at the moment. She has lost her card. I said if she put money in my Australian bank account I would give her baht. She is not such a close friend that I would give her Wise rate,as I pay fees on it so I thought the street rate was a,good one to use.

If you're willing to change money and take some AUD, I'm willing to sell you $my 1k AUD for only 32,997 baht. Take it or leave it.

Hi. I'm helping a friend change some money and was hoping somebody could tell me the rate they are giving for Australian dollar to Thai baht at the moment. Thank you.

The result of the ancient administration of the lands and assets of Thailand and the people.... Same as Wat Angkor... Thailand claims lands and things that are maybe never been of Thailand, of that are already in Thai hands..

Have just returned from Cambodia. Cambodia seems to have trouble managing the land they have-dirt roads, rubbish everywhere, no police presence, bribes at immigration. I don't think they need any more. They would just let the Chinese build skyscrapers everywhere anyway.

Maybe not. I don't know what police,use now there are no telephone books but maybe you saved yourself from finding out which I'm sure was worth the money

I won't argue. BiB are making the law here. But only on their playgrounds in their sandboxes.

Until it comes to the court room and judge sees all discrepancies and false statements from BiB and fake witnesses. Been there saw it myself. 

Many foreigners scare sh*tless of them and that is their only lucky card.

It probably won't make it to court. They have probably already paid their fines in a,brown paper bag and are off home.

I see you also have this other topic running in this forum on the same subject

 

Therefore, I'm going to stay out of this discussion now. Leave it to your wife and her accountant to sort everything out.

Thank you. The form is very useful and do appreciate your advice and input. Cheers

You're probably aware that the Non Imm O ME now requires 400K THB in a Thai bank account for 2 months.
If/when the Embassy/Consulates change to e-visa applications, then it won't be available any more.

 

To entitled to work legally when married to a Thai, just require a work permit.
The question is, do you intend to apply for an extension based on employment or Thai spouse.
For employment, the minimum income is 50K per month for an Australian.
400K for 2 months prior to applying based on Thai spouse - the funds can then be withdrawn.

I already have my non-o M.E valid till May. The business only operates till April 2025 so I am only concerned about till then. I showed 400,000 baht when I received the visa but it would be difficult for me to do so now. What I am querying  is why I have to show the bank balance again when I already have a valid visa/permission to stay. If you read between the lines, farung can not own a business so it is in the wife's name. The 50,000 per month is not a problem.

To get you a work permit in your wife's business she would need another Thai employee. 

Thanks. That is,all taken care of. It is just whether the multi entry visa is ok for the permit  is the question and whether I need to show 400,000 baht if I need to change the visa. I understood the 40,000 b she pays me per month would be enough without a lump sum.

You are in the correct forum, "Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits"

 

1. What is the nationality of your wife, Thai or non-Thai?

 

2. If I remember correctly, the minimum monthly salary for the application for a work permit depends on the nationality of the applicant. Just in case my memory is correct, what is your nationality?

 

3. A work permit can also be issued to an applicant on an extension of stay for the reason of living with a Thai wife, ie no change to a non-B visa is necessary.

My wife is Thai. I am Australian and my salary will be 40,000 b per month. I have a multi entry non.o visa based on being married to a Thai. My permission to stay expires after 90 days on 3rd November but my ME visa expires in April 2025. Do appreciate any input so thank you.

I was actually following on from my comment on @Gottfrid's post. Maybe if you read that would be obvious

Sadly you seem to have missed the very obvious sarcasm in @Wongkitlo's post. Here read this again.

 

You see the fact is there are "girls and guys selling themselves in every soi and along the beach"

Maybe a smiley or laughing emoji at the end of the post would have pointed you in the right direction of thought.

I don't understand what you mean. I was totally serious.
