  1. Some "snake oil" as is the case with gasoline additives?
  2. OK, after looking into the topic I've discovered that the letter B(x) with the number stands for the biodiesel percentage content. With palm oil being the most likely bio-sourced additive produced in Thailand. The "Super Power" grade is what I'd assume to be the marketing term for the premium diesel grade, which is specific to the particular fuel distributing chain. Other chains market their premium grades under different names.
  3. Apparently the V6-fitted Everest models are extremely popular in Australia where Ford is still having trouble delivering enough of them just to keep up with the demand. I'd assume they'll also release the V6 version of Everest in Thailand sometime soon since they have already introduced the V6 Ranger over here.
  4. Diesel vs Diesel B7 vs Super Power Diesel B7 What's the difference between them? Why is the Super Power Grade so much more expensive? Which grades are acceptable for a modern car?
  5. Which border crossings are available in the North? I've been told everything is closed. I'd rather consider an Agent instead of driving, flying long distances. Could you please suggest an agent(s) in Chiang Mai?
  6. Does it mean that I can fly out of country to the nearest foreign airport and then come back on the same day visa exempt? And that would allow me then to apply locally for Non-O?
  7. Not qualified on the basis living in the vicinity of the office making their own rules. My wife was with me. No problems with documents. I'm on a 30-day extension of the tourist visa.
  8. Maehangson. Just called Chiang Mai, they said no problem to do the 60 days family visit, but...... since I live in the vicinity of Mae Hangson then have to follow their rules! My initial goal was to get the 60 days extension and then convert to Non-O. Now I don't have any other options left (5 days left on my current visa extension) but to drive to Savannacket and apply for a Non-O over there. My immigration office people told me "just" to fly to Syngapore from Chiang Mai and apply for Non-O from over there. I don't think that route is the best option. I've never done this before but remember reading that Savannacket has some shop on the Thai side specializing in Visa matters? Where can I get more info? Do they also require 400K for single entry Non-O?
  9. Hello, what are the restrictions for getting this extension (60 day to visit family)? I've been just told by my local office that I'm not qualified. I've entered Thailand on a Tourist Visa then gotten an TR extension for 30 days. Now I want to get the 60 day extension to visit family members. I was under impression that it's very easy to get without much restrictions as long as it hasn't been already used since the most recent border crossing. I have 5 days left on my TR 30 day extension.
  10. Just wanted to share what I've used - a cheap and strong chemical anchor solution. It is more than sufficient for hanging heavy objects. The materials are readily available and don't cost nearly as much as compared to the industrial products such as Hilti. Instead of using the expensive pre-made chemical anchors one can buy a cheap 1m threaded rod - available in either stainless or galvanized and sold in various thicknesses. To make anchors use a hack saw to cut it into pieces to a desired length. For an anchor adhesive use a Thai made Sanko VR-30 - less than 300B on Lazada. https://www.sanko.co.th/sanko/en/vr-30.php?id=334 It's designed to be used with a common caulking gun. Also comes with two mixing nozzles. Just remember to use a drill bit that is larger in diameter than the anchor itself, e.g. for the M8 anchor use a 10mm drill bit.
  11. Thank you. Have found the Hilti product but wasn't able to locate the "test tube" on Lazada. Could you please share the link?
  12. The picture shows a nylon plastic insert (in yellow) that is specifically designed to be used with chemical anchoring adhesives. Are there similar ones available for purchase in Thailand?
  13. Is that normally the case with every airline? As in no need for an onward ticket with the 60-day Tourist Visa?
  14. According to a recent thread you can go throuh the Thai line if traveling together. btw, how long did it take them to issue the Visa?
  15. You don't? Then what's the accepted qualification?
