Hi All, I am in a similar situation. Have in hand the new passport and old. (Old PP expires SEPT, New PP began July. Old PP has some holes punched in it.) What if I would like to exit Thailand for a trip to different locale? Do i just show up at the Airport with both passports and let them figure it out? I recall there is some document or stamp i need to exit while on a Non-O based on retirement. Thank you.

Maybe she knew you loved her so much that she did not even need to ask to know that you would have given her the money to keep her afloat. What's that old saying? "Better to ask for forgiveness than permission." -Rear Admiral Grace Hopper

What about keep your windows closed and run the A/C + fans? Does the smell still invade?

Hmmm. The best way or the most effective method based on what you are willing to spend? Are you a do it yourself person or hire the work out person? Like others have pointed out: ear plugs or i like loudly played White Noise videos from youtube Also: There are special sound insulating boards you can install. Rock wool is fairly inexpensive and effective. I always thought if i was in that situation i would build rooms inside the rooms with insulation installed. You can google "bands building rooms within rooms" or something similar. Tons upon tons of info out there ???? GL - i understand this pain

Lord have mercy brother. Here you go: 1. Register a new counterfeit FB account complete with actual photo of a decent looking guy with a well rounded out profile. Don't make it obvious it is you. Same hometown, phone #, anything. A completely anonymous and separate FB profile. Install on a separate device altogether if you are not PC savvy. -OR- 2. Ask someone to use their FB Contact your sig other in PI via one of these 2 methods and see how she plays it. Stay calm as doing this can create an "Aha! gotcha b++++" moment. 3. Option 3: go and visit her and install spyware on her phone or just ask her to hand over her phone for inspection lol. If she won't show you her phone then she be cheating you. I can help you if you like. I have no need of a pinay btw. or have someone you know at home do it ???? good luck Hope for the best but expect the worst.

tools,spare tire, jack did not work flour and water did not work i do not claim any intellectual capacity lol

No doubt. Farang beware. No wonder the Pattaya Flying Club is so popular

So by assembling and installing an IKEA kitchen you have violated Thai Immigration Law. Per posts from another thread on this forum: https://aseannow.com/topic/109416-thai-english-building-terms/ There are numerous videos and posts on YouTube, forums such as this and The Thaiger where Farang are obviously doing work without work permits. For example, based on Phuketchap's post this Bloke from the Netherlands, Maarten Munnikm, with a Youtube channel "Maarten Munnik, off-grid in Thailand" "https://youtu.be/e4WBW3_Q9L0 theoretically could be deported and blacklisted. I apologize but this is a potential minefield for ANY Farang trying to build a life in Thailand. No wonder all I see are Farang sitting on barstools watching the world walk by them. I can see how many might "fly under the radar". That is, until some Thai has a fit and reports the Farang because he/she stepped on their toes. Or their Thai girlfriend decides Old Daddy is no longer needed. Is there anyone with any clarification on this?

went to register but the auto register widget defeated me? change a tire? Make bread? hahaha

Were you able to find 2 rai?

Instead of browsing TF and Tinder days on end here is some browsing which may prove more profittable in the long run if someone stumbles upon a recognized NPC: Interpol Red Notices Anyone from Phuket remember this guy?

Is AIRBNB not an option for you? I used AIRBNB for a year...works great..

What i wouldn't give for nameless ages...to be a shadow in the crowd without any notice given to my comings and goings. I know you wrote a well known (idiom?) but it simply isn't the case. Being scrutinized by endless numbers of zombie like sub humans just is not much fun tbh. Stared out by NPCs day in day out when going to the grocery aisles, the shops, the bar, everywhere...if i wasn't so tall I would wear a birka

I second this. I have stayed in well used AIRbnbs where I am fairly certain the filter has NEVER been changed or cleaned. Check/replace filters. Clean your place top to bottom. Wash sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc. Use fans if you can when you sleep. Eat your veggies ???? Check for lizard droppings, possibly in bags of rice, etc. Daunting task I know, but if you don't have your health what DO you have?

Blessed indeed. Hold on to that one Mister

Sorry to hear this. I fell in to the same trap a while back. I eventually wrote it off to life experience Thailand version. Thai people do A LOT of borrowing. From what I understand there are locals who give rates on loans. Needless to say this can provide quite a bit of bitterness and resentment on the part of both parties involved. Gold also acts as a buy_borrow_sell method of getting quick cash. Houses mortgaged up to the hilt. "Oh Mister can you give me 350,000 THB to pay the bank back?" They will take my house soon! Grandma will have no home to live in. In their defence COVID hit a lot of people very hard. What is the old saying? "No good deed goes unpunished." Also "In for a penny, in for a pound." If you are going to sponsor a "ahem" young lady, please take the time to understand who she is. Honesty. integrity. Work ethic. Thai culture is very different than Western culture, Mister... Good luck Mister

Season 2 of The Witcher Based on Polish Fantasy stories by Polish Author Andrzej Sapkowski Called Wiedźmin in Polish which roughly translates to Hexer Wiedźmin is also name of early 2001 movie, which although it is poorly rated was interesting due to the popularity of a series of RPG games called, you guessed it, Witcher produced by Polish game developer CD Projekt Red, who gained huge following as a result. in 2002 there was TV series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1070742/ The Hexer Original title: Wiedzmin Game link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/20900/The_Witcher_Enhanced_Edition_Directors_Cut/?curator_clanid=32989758 So if you like PC action RPGs games, maybe read a little fantasy fiction (similar to a darker version of Tolkein) with a brawling, drinking, whoring dark mutant protagonist this is a one stop shop for you ) Not as fun as beer girls but a wife won't get offended )

???? I re(pre)sent that insinuation Good Sir!

That's old Beer girl trick so that old Farang doesn't lose face ????

Not 100% on what you are getting at RE: domestic Is this like when Mexicans in USA want to send wages home to Mexico they are limited in the amount? So if I was sending money to a Thai friend via Wise to their bank I can only send up to 50k to non-Thai bank but larger amounts (within Wise's limits) to Thai bank?

50,000 baht = $ 1493.21 USD todays rate Does anyone know how many transfers can be made daily/monthly to a bank?
