How are they with cooking and domestic chores? I’m happy to help with the washing up and minor maintenance honey-do but I dont iron, do windows or anything with a ladder.

I have still have one from Wells Fargo. Never use it, just got an email they are trying to send me a new one. I think you still need a PIN number at the branch or else two forms of valid photo ID. I dont buy the banks being cost burdened by toursts abandoning accounts with a few hundred baht left insufficient to cover debit card fees. Many more Thais do it for sure. When I finally broke thru years of intransigence mounting the effort to get my Yellow book issued my question was finally answered by the amphur WHY? ”Well, Mr. Farung” You die, disappear, abandon your condo or sell without returning the yellow book so it creates a break in the data trail. ”So you agree to return it, OK?” OK OK already. Sounds like typical laziness.

Why? Just pay for her adultery and all entertainment while he is here with no unrealistic expectations. Good idea if you want an Asian lady from a developing income nation find one in your country with a residence visa already plenty available. Well I was in one of the Hillary Bars on SUK 11 one night this lady in her 40s was opened up over drinks I got for her how the professional girlfriend thing works juggling multiple darnungs sending her monthly remission. I was impressed with her income! Surely nobody is so gullible to believe a lady from a bar remains celibate while they go overseas to work months at a time. Nope. Sucker born every minute

I owned a condo in Chiang Mai for some years before I ever heard of TM-30 but when was the year when they breathed life back into TM-30 again? Two officers sat at arms length at the same table spouted contradictory information When I asked again one actually said ” up to you” like some bargirl. As if it means yeah we dont have any idea either and we will make up rules as we want and if Mr Farung ends up with another fine, son nam na.

US consular staff who are Dept of State officials are not the vile vile ICE Actually wonderful highly educated and have always been a pleasure to deal with Coming on a tourist status and then ”changing ones mind” so that basically the spouse of US citizen never has to leave the US is the concern as gaming the system and probably would end up as a black mark on that consular persons record. I naiively actually did same unknowingly with my first wife 25 plus years ago, even though she entered visa exempt. Dont know if you can get away with that now. About 500 bucks to get a cheap immigration lawyer in HNL push the paperwork I know of several occasions where Asian women married to Americans, even a wealthy Korean mans Thai wife were denied tourist visas to the US, for no good reason. Very unfortunate as a mom helping her daughter get set up in college is a totally normal family activity.

I would never book anything on a third party site(the mind boggles) but it appears in Chiang Mai many maneagements ARE using the AirBnB platform to list their hotels and guesthouses. I just checked to see if they are offering illegal nuisance rentals in my hondo building here, I do not see any. Mostly hotels. High Season, I do see many short term visitors lately maybe they are owners from BKK, their friends, or maybe farnags dregged using a different platform or method. I wish it would work but people on vacation simply do not behave like residents. If these holiday makers would simply follow a few simple rules regarding garbage, smocking and noise there would be no problem at all

Right. Forget the convicted rapist with dozens of additional assault allegations, Trump. A man who boasts publicly of his sexual assault tactics. You will ignore all that. Who goes backstage at teen pageants to ogle children? No let’s talk about Biden. yeah, sure l know, tell me about it. Typical right wing projection.

Stay in Thailand for at least one year
Captain Monday replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I do not spend 180 days in any country, so for me no concern for now. I pay a shedload of tax to the US no matter where I hang my hat already too. Captain Monday - ”Constant International Travel” -
Blame STARBUCKS maybe, for their vile bastardizations Macchiato means stained, or streaked. Nothing more than a a splash of foam on top Not a full cup of milk drink indistinquisible from a caffe latte!

Stay in Thailand for at least one year
Captain Monday replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It is true. Why would you want to avoid your legal tax obligations under Thai law? Anyway your country probably has a tax equalization agreement with Thailand. Unless you have extremely large overseas income streams you wont owe much, or nothing at all. -
Something that came up in the news yesterday when Trump falsely claimed he won Iowa caucus for the second time. Even before this nightmare began he stated without evidence that Ted Cruz stole it in 2016! One trick pony toxic lying maniac. Trump accuses Cruz of stealing Iowa caucuses through 'fraud' https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0VC1Z9/

There is nothing such as a Thailand Elite visa. I was a member of Thailand Elite for 5 years. Members are entitled to the PE visa. Which is a 5 year multi-entry fancy version of a tourist visa with maximum stay 1 year granted each time. You can call it what you want but it is critical to understand it is NOT considered a non-immigrant visa. Yes it should be able to easily open a bank account but they did not have an office staff in every city to assist you at banks and immigration. Maybe only BKK. Maybe they can help you find a local agent to do that if you are not in Bangkok Example when I was a member they had no staff in Chiang Mai where I was located. They contract with local company to send/pick up at CNX but nobody to greet you or lead you thru Immigration like Suwannbhumi airport so forget about the priority line at airport arrival immigration. I cant remember if you could use the business class lounge there, I already have memberships thru credit cards In Chiang Mai, lucky we were able to extend 5 year drivers licenses, as an exception, at the transport office on HangDong road. Other provinces were not giving or extending 5 year drivers licences based on the interpretation that the PE visa is not a non-immigrant visa. several years old info for me not sure about now. Yes you can But be very careful to understand you only get 1 year stay each time so you must extend your stay at an Immigration office and pay the fee which I think is 1900 baht. While I was a member despite many warnings, there were several cases where some Thailand Elite members actually overstayed because they stupidly thought they had a ”5 year Thailand Elite visa” or some other nonsense. I did not extend in Thailand due ”constant international travel”. There was nothing immigration could/would do to save these silly kippers from the blacklist. Or maybe they enjoyed it. Some Immigration officers appear to hate Thailand Elite, something forced on them from above by another ministry I think.

Risk of bursting washing machine water hose?
Captain Monday replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in DIY Forum
My Condo building in the US has monitored sensor wicks at every water access point. Somehow automatically advises the management who have emergency access keys , required by bylaws. Very sensitive sometime I got nusiance calls due dampness under the washer. Good idea my old 35 plus year old condo residence in Hawaii had major problems from unit leaks I would be more worried about fittings than the hoses. I had a plastic elbow joint/shutoff valve crack under bath basin, woke up with near ankle deep water on my bedroom carpet. Went thru the walls chase to a guy two or three floors down who then ”soaked” my owner with a claim in the thousands of USD Replaced with metal, and new hoses all around. -
Are there any Expats in CM who jam regularly?
Captain Monday replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
There should be nobody bothered *except maybe neighbors, if you invite frends to play at home More and more I do see foreign muscicians playing at the local night spots No need to name them, the venues can be found easily. Do these guys have the right work permit? Last year I even saw a rock Trio playing at what can only be described as a large bar beer They looked liked burnouts from the American war in SEA. The bass player was very good. -
Netanyahu rejects claims accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza

Probably Russia actually. Despite the horrors of the war crimes committed, well out of their depth. -
Can i keep my family in home country from knowing if i die?
Captain Monday replied to Pouatchee's topic in General Topics
In the US there is a SS master death index. I think it was a leaked site, but some years ago I could look up my grandparents even showed where dads were buried at the cemetary -

Simple. Never die officially, or allow yourself to be reported missing. -
Concerns after two foreign women sunbathe in Chiang Mai temple
Captain Monday replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Do they even have a mat? I'd be more worried about 🐜 ants up in me Frammazamma. -
Just to mention just one reason. In his planned 2nd term of vengeance and spiteful retribution US withdrawal from NATO and the irreparabe dissolution of the alliance. Then multiple incursions of former USSR by his Kremlin handlers would be unstoppable.
