  1. My experience to CW online was positive. Have not been able to do for a year or two but worked fine at new website (and must say it is a vast improvement). Filed two weeks early on 18th for 2nd due date - accepted first try and approved with copy of the approval paper by email about an hour ago - and that after long holiday and re-location of 90 day section. I did put homeowner info in as if they want to check TM30 that name might be needed but as said was not star marked as required.
  2. Yes <deleted> is (total dissolved solids) which indicates how well the RO filter is working and the meter works well. The system comes with all filters and they should last a year or more and the RO filter probably two years. Only the first filter may need more often replacement and it is very cheap. This would be a complete set. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/fast-pure-6-ro50gpdmineral-water-filter-i2863586696-s10448274581.html?&search=pdp_same_topselling?spm=a2o4m.pdp_revamp.recommendation_1.4.41d07cca21XOQi&mp=1&scm=1007.16389.126158.0&clickTrackInfo=a948272b-063b-44f7-8e00-2ea923af0e79__2863586696__11826__trigger2i__224806__0.046__0.046__0.0__0.0__0.0__0.046__3__null__null__null__null__null__null____2600.0__0.6696153846153846__0.0__0__859.0__158442,154904,155592,108012,158463,162332__null__null__null__3650.16544_955.3632_3650.16542__null__13426__null__0.0__0.0________null__null Believe this is first filter type (which gets dirty): https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pp-10-3-sediment-spun-ifresh-3-i2878160354-s10505027245.html?&search=pdp_v2v?spm=a2o4m.pdp_revamp.recommendation_2.5.1b383a4dFeQ0OV&mp=1&scm=1007.16389.126158.0&clickTrackInfo=a48c0b00-93a4-493c-b40b-36b7c4b2f28f__2878160354__11827__cate__202835__0.87685764__0.87685764__0.0__0.0__0.0__0.87685764__4__null__PDPV2V__null__null__821036033 411479383__0____150.0__0.6466666666666667__4.95475113122172__221__53.0__108012__null__null__null__3650.16544_955.3632__null__13499__null__0.0__0.0________null__null__0
  3. Multi stage RO filter systems are very cheap and work very well - you have several gallons in storage tank - it may not look the best but it does the job. First filter removes dirt and can be changed as needed (cheap) - can be had for about 3k-4k on Lazada or Shopee (although you can spend many times that for same item from some sellers so be careful). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/colandas-ro-5-50-gpd-00001-water-filter-1-i2319029740-s13942552018.html?search=1&freeshipping=1
  4. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/12/inflation-could-mean-a-big-social-security-cost-of-living-adjustment-in-2023.html
  5. Have no idea what HSA is but my US Blue Cross requirement has always been a full receipt with address for drug stores (which most do not provide without asking - and some places may not want to do in any case).
  6. It seems to be freely available here. https://bangkokdrugstore.com/product/januvia-100-mg-14s/
  7. Would strong reading glasses be a better option? They are available at most supermarkets/stores and can be tried in store (take some fine print). Only cost a few baht. Edit: have found most cheap magnifying glasses sold on platforms to be less than useful for anything.
  8. That is what I mean - not meeting financials - many have lived for years here full time without one year extensions of stay - kind of a mess now with borders closed but not all have the financials (and some do not even know about one year extensions).
  9. He may not have qualified for annual extension of stay.
  10. Although accident might be taken to private hospital and thus indeed payment would be required insurance should pay and if not the cost should not be that much. More likely a 'go fund me' I suspect.
  11. Received second order using new system - on time - all 23 items received - you can indeed use order history to call up old orders and select items from that to add to new basket. Appears they also have limited availability for one hour delivery (expect less heavy/bulky items - so if you select one hour delivery the full selection may not be available) but if you change to next day they become available. As one who started using Tesco when it was only a prototype system must say find getting what you ordered much better with new store selection system.
  12. I highly doubt items such as below are in any way dodgy. If brand name in Canon and price about right should be fine - if brand is "none" or "for Canon" (or cheap) would have second thoughts. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/canon-cl-811-tri-color-ink-cartridge-i102348252-s102589372.html?search=1 Shopee with 17k sales must be fine. https://shopee.co.th/ส่งทุกวัน-CANON-PG810-CL811-ออกใบกำกับภาษีได้-แท้100-สั่งก่อน14-00-จัดส่งวันเดียวกัน-i.12795661.1141985688?sp_atk=43ed253a-969c-43c5-b781-6a847a57caab
  13. Water flow is same as normal above tank water units - it pumps water into the normal cooler storage tank. Pump normally starts after you get a glass of water and only lasts a couple seconds.
  14. Having had a SS Standard - cooler only - for about a decade found it very reliable. But as bottles became heavy (or we got older) found the bottom storage type much better and have had for about 2 years now - plastic yes but black and seems to be holding up very well. Hot and Cold and very easy to change bottles. Both h/c can be switched on/off. Edit: have RO filter so use two bottles and fill ourselves - easy to push across floor with foot rather than carry. Do not use the heater as have Tefal pot for that. One caution if buying Stainless Steel unit - be sure you have RCBO protection as electric/water/steel is not a good combination.
  15. Expect the same reason that Centrum Silver sells at different prices - individuals import for resale and use different margins - some trying to make a killing (often same person under many names with a very high price - so they fill the search page and you do not check further for lower price). Other willing to make just a small profit and actually sell some.
  16. Not sure about fire worry - much less chance for that in Thailand cement homes than in the wood constructions of USA. Believe there are commercial firms renting safety box storage here if that would be an alternative. Always better to avoid international issues after death. Edit: also suspect a firebox safe would be cheaper than keep the bank box.
  17. I suspect form item but was thinking you living in Thailand from OP but sounds like you want a US safety box (and living in US?) if such requirement and that might be required (have no need for such living in Thailand so never checked). If indeed both living in US would get ITIN.
  18. Other than for joint tax return she should not require ITIN for wills and such - she is a foreign national and will ID as such. And US does not easily issue anymore. Other than for joint tax it should be be required. If a joint tax return is an advantage (perhaps not for SS) then ITIN is filed with tax return (it can not be obtained at any time as was the case previously). But as said above suspect it is not needed in your case. US is trying to limit the number of such issues and has required those who previously obtained to confirm current need over the last 10 years or so.
  19. In my experience the partial vacuum of no vent at toilet exit causes slow drain/backup - the toilet bowl water will still prevent smells unless it does not empty.
  20. Actually septic tanks are vented but toilet itself may not be - but gray water is normally not sent to septic tanks so what comes up drains is the gray water system smells.
  21. As cancelled first attempt can say full amount of CC deduction was immediately credited back to account and CC card account had no entry for debit or credit next day.
  22. As said above almost all drains, if they have a trap at all, will be of the type above so work well if water does not dry out or too much hair makes cup go above water line. If cleaned properly and have water they work well to prevent smells. And it is an easy install for pipes that do not have any trap.
