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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Thank you. Have found the Hilti product but wasn't able to locate the "test tube" on Lazada. Could you please share the link?

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?

Which is the best choice?
unheard replied to WalterTP's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Is that normally the case with every airline? As in no need for an onward ticket with the 60-day Tourist Visa? -

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? -
Tourist visa conversion to Non-O (Thai family)
unheard replied to unheard's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yeah, I do have a Thai bank account. The immigration office is up North in the sticks - not much of foot traffic and they seem to just follow published procedures without any "inventions" of their own. -
Tourist visa conversion to Non-O (Thai family)
unheard replied to unheard's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Money in the bank requirements for the conversion? -
Hello. What is the current process for obtaining a conversion to a family Non-O Visa after entering Thailand on a Tourist visa? The goal is to obtain a 1-year extension in the end. Also, is there an actual benefit to entering the country on the tourist visa (besides the additional 30 days) as opposed to Visa exempt? Would the conversion process be the same? Thank you.

Non-O Marriage visa (from UK e-visa)
unheard replied to decline's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It seems the requirements have been changed. It appears the Non-O 90-day visa to visit a Thai family now requires a bank statement showing an equivalent of 40,000 Baht in monthly income or a balance of 400,000 Baht. https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ -
Call any Bluescope store and ask what kind of a material is being sold at the Bluescope branded store! Grand opening of a new store in Khon Kaen:

Sure, most shops over here sell Non-Bluescope metal at cheaper and often much cheaper prices. My understanding is that their coated metal comes from Chinese and Korean factories. Yeah, must be a real good or better product compared to Bluescope's, which is an Australian company? ????
-
Thailand warranties are nothing like in the West, but at least Bluescope produced metal clearly states its warranty length, lists material specs, has a chain of franchised shops with real good service and sourced from the factory, located right here in Thailand. How does it compare to the metal which offers zero warranty, is of unknown origin, spec and quality?
