  2. If you live in your wife's family village, maybe. 1st house was there, and nobody bothered me after I threw her out. 2nd & 3rd house was / is nowhere near the wife's family, and she likes it that way. Live with your choices.
  3. As stated, like all TH gov't offices, they don't seem to work off the same play book. Heard of some Amphur Land offices not doing, or wanting 'paperwork+'. My experiences with 9 lots of land, all having a usufruct in my name on them, is completely different, very easy, and inexpensive. Simply ask to have it added, owner & you, whether at transfer (if new purchase), or as add-on after the sale. Too simple and <100 baht I think. No lawyer needed. Takes all of 5-10mins, for clerk to add your name/info to the 'fill in the blanks' form on his/her/its computer, print out, and you sign. It's stays with the chanote, till you null & void it out. Get if for life, or 30 yrs or highest # yrs they'll allow. Get to 'use & modify'. Nobody can do anything to the land/property/structures, without your permission. On our build at PKK, wife put papers in for add-on, wash & storage room, that wasn't on original blueprint submitted. Wasn't approved till I signed off on it ???? it's a powerful document. This done at A. Muang L.O. @ Udon Thani (7 lots) & A. Muang L.O. Prachuap Khiri Khan (2 lots). When that is done, go to Amphur office, and get a yellow book. You should never need a Cert of Residence in the future, hopefully.
  4. I personally wouldn't buy a Mazuma product. And why 8000w, as overkill. Had 8k at the one house, and could easily brew tea/coffee with it. Bought it as it supplied whole house (3 facets), with 2 not exactly close to the unit. And still put out hot water, even on cool NE mornings. This brand, Stiebel Eltron, I think, and excellent unit. I believe still going strong, 12 yrs on.
  5. Because I/we enjoy cooking, and do a much better job than any restaurant, usually. The savings, just a plus. More than enough time, and really helps to get me out of house, and doing something. I like knowing what I'm eating, and use the best of any ingredient. No palm oil in this house. Meats, fruits & veggies very fresh. Everything seasoned just right ???? Not too sweet, salty or spicy. Not a whole lot quality restaurants where we are, though can't say there are anywhere. We only go out to eat, for something we can't and won't bother doing at home, usually. A big reason why we enjoy coffee shops, as pastries are a time consuming effort.
  6. Fever, with fatigue being the second most common symptom. Coughing, muscle pains, nausea, headaches and vomiting were also reported as symptoms of infection Sarcasm alert: It may now be considered one of the most dangerous viruses out there, to mankind's existence. To date (2018 - August 2022) ... wait for it ... ... 35 people have been infected in China ... NO DEATHS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langya_henipavirus I hate when people type faster than myself
  7. @BKK24 Fidelity will allow you to change, and I don't think I needed anything to do that, and simply verified ID via SMS or email, forget. That was 1 time from TH. I did change it back though, as stating CC/Debit T&C changes, though I didn't notice any. I'm paperless, so don't need a USA address but I do use my brother's address & ph#. Matter fact, he just moved recently, and since using his ph#, asked him to do the address change, since SMS would be sent to him anyway. The less they know, the better AFAIC. Tax wise, irrelevant since I don't pay any. Soc Sec has my TH address & ph#, & DD to BBL My pension will only use a USA bank, hence why I still have the Fid accounts. Fid, if you don't know, need a 'Cash Management' Acct/CC/Debit card for Thai bank fee reimbursement for TH ATM use, for -0- fee ATM transactions. Also if on Soc Sec, and you change to a TH address, you'll need to file a 7162/pulse check every year. If USA address, not needed.
  8. SRT: https://www.railway.co.th/Home/index Seat 61: https://www.seat61.com/Thailand.htm And of course the station you plan on leaving from, if convenient to pop in ahead of time.
  9. Thankfully, because the Japanese manufacturers really take the piss with pricing here. Made in TH entry level are ฿550k-800+k, that's nuts. Imports even sillier, ฿1M & up. And it's not all added taxes.
  10. Don't know about the 'mac master', and his situation outside of TH. For me it's been win win, and ROI will pay off in a very short time. Invested to upgrade to an EV. My ICEv's 2 yr depreciation was about 10% more than I'd prefer, but sold that for ฿400k EV ฿949K - 400K = ฿549K Insured value if totaled ฿960k ???????? ฿549k ÷ ฿35 (petrol price) = 15,685 L of 91 ROI after 220k kms (15,685 X 14kp/L) About 10 yrs or less for us, and the cost to upgrade, paid for itself, not counting the 20 oil changes, 5 ish total tune ups avoided. Along with exhaust system upkeep. That's without spending another ฿549k for petrol, and at today's prices. If getting just half the expected battery life, (900k kms) and still having 70-80% capacity, the wife is good for another 10+ yrs of almost free transport. After that, she can add the 10-25kWh of battery left to the solar system, if the rest of the car kraps out, selling the motor of course. Someone want to point out those negatives again, because I missed them.
  11. Yes, the facade of Biden has a few holes in it ... shh, don't tell the left. My favorite: "For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you've got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she's talking about is real," - Joe Biden (VP) Except Tara Reade ... ????
  12. A bit of out of context cherry picking ... ... what ever works for your spin
  13. to the title, nothing 'typical' about that farang/image, in my world. Maybe the P4P world, but I wouldn't know. Ignorance IS bliss ????
  14. He's not that cool headed on either side of the door. A bit snappy now & then, when asked a simple question. Thankfully his snap decisions need approval from others.
  15. Using a different snap of the winner Winner: female till proven otherwise I certainly wouldn't throw her out of bed ???? I notice the Entertainment/MSM/Distracting echo box picked the most uncomplimentary photo of hers to spread. https://www.instagram.com/rikkievaleriekolle/ Any wonder why ?
  16. But she doesn't ... ???? Seems most posters have missed that point, and only difference, may or may not show, in a chromosome count. A natural oops, may simply have been corrected, from a very early age. But if this forum is a meter of all the closeted 'men' out there, IMHO, and how infatuated with all thing about the penis & ladyboys ... then I guess the judges were spot on. All the non-gays on this forum, sure do talk about the penis & ladyboys a lot ... nuff said
  17. Interesting #s in first half of post ... the 1% & 6% Somehow, in my mine, I'm equating that to the 1% & 5%'ers of the higher income levels of people that control something like 70-80% of finances. Maybe they are just a wee bit smarter with their finances, and how they acquired so much. Using that same savvy business & financial sense, in their transport choices. Always good to be the dumbest person in the room ... ... as long as you are learning.
  18. Q'ing & reservation is only for the O&A crowd, going more than 125 kms away from home on a constant basis, and few do that. Minimal planning or inconvenience for the savings and performance a BEV provides. As stated repeated ... EVs (BEVs) aren't for everyone. But fit perfectly in our lifestyle & wallet. We're out O&A more than most, and yet to have a problem, or see one in the future, my lifetime any way. To coin a phrase ... "If you like your ICE, you can keep your ICE" ????
  19. If only that was true. Throw them an irrelevant bone, to give them that impression.
