NO! TAX you do not have to pay any tax here other than the VAT tax on purchases. I have lived here for years and have 2 pensions deposited to my bank in America. I do not pay any tax to Thailand because of what I earn somewhere else

I saw this camper near my village so took a picture of it as I have never even seen one here in Thailand .

Congratulations! I wish you the very best. It sounds as if you did all the right things a have a way better chance than most people that I have met. I too was introduced to my wife. We have been married for almost 20 years now. I too have retired and moved all my possessions here.

I hope some time we can meet. At any rate have a happy life.

Oh! At my wedding party I arranged to leave the party early with my new wife and take a honeymoon. We left the party going in full swing. That was one of the smarter things I have done as I am sure the party lasted as long as the free food, whiskey and beer lasted.

Here is what I did here in Sa Kaeo

Before and after

The water buffalo carts will be back here in Thailand and will be much in demand.

RENT FIRST!

Thailand is a wonderful and diverse country there is far more to it than just Patteya……

You would be well advised to first rent and have a look around. As mentioned before, once you buy you could find it VERY hard to sell.

TOT SATELITTE is one option good but not great

We made the move here from California in 2002. We loaded a container and had it shipped to our home here in Thailand direct to our front door. The cost then was about $5000 but we brought absolutely everything. We used a shipping company that specializes in Thailand (Rama Shipping). My only regret was that I should have bought even more stuff to ship.

We made a shipping invintory list of all shipped items put into the container. My wife's things included even "her shop tools"

I live by the moto

" when in doubt toss it out"

Check at a Wat near where you live. Many people leave unwanted cats ans dogs there with the Monks as they value all life. I personaly feed and care for about 15 cats at the Wat near me. I am sure you will find a good cat.

Beware of the little bugs that may be in the whole wheat , rye and other flour. I now just put the bags of flour into a ziplock bag and freeze the little critters.

Stops them COLD

RENT FIRST !

Trust me on this… Thai builders and “electricians” usually fail to add a ground wire, IMHO the most important thing you can do during the construction would be to install proper grounding and perhaps even a lighting rod.

Jim from Sa Kaeo

Sounds like a good idea.

I have been told that Fox news is on Asia sat 2 but have never been able to get it. The only way I can watch Fox is via the internet . Download TVU and view Fox that way.

I am watching Fox right now

Here in Thailand people tend to empty all their garbage into a bowl outside for the dogs and chickens. I have found that this practice will draw flies and bugs.

5 years ago I installed a waste disposer. I have a stainless sink with 2 bowls. The larger one has the waste disposer mounted directly under the drain. I am using the TEKA model #TR050-1 and it is made by Insinkerator the U.S. Company. It is .5 horsepower and I bought it at Home Pro at Rangsit. I can’t now remember just how much I paid but it was not a lot. As I have said it has now been 5 years and NEVER a problem. All mounting hardware and hoses came with the disposer.

My favorite is ----

Why for you kick my dog ? He bark you?

I take care of about 25 cats and kittens at the Wat near me. Everyday I take 4 large scoops of Whiskas dry cat food and a ½ can of Whiskas.

People who don’t want cats or kittens know that if they go and leave them at the Wat the monks will take care of them.

I go every single day at 3 P.M. and I have a whole pack of cats come racing to great me everyday just as soon a one of them spots me coming. If my wife would let me I would adopt many of them.

Lower is better too a point anything near zero is not too good. With the help of modern chemistry I manage to get my heart rate down to 80 to 85 bpm

Jim

everyday above ground is another good day!

You have just discribed my exact set up for my sound. I too have the y split and also run a cable into my next room for sound with the TV and also have some drop out ,which means I have to increase the gain at my TV amp. I have wondered about using a bluetooth for the remote sound. Let me know if you solve the problem.
