You could lift the original roof, and made new base and iron below, but then you need to know if its possible, both the structure is strong enough, and you have people who know how to do it. The iron quality is not stainless steel I would say by looking at it but could be wrong. 

 

The steel is not welded in to the steel of the posts? Just grounded by weight? 

 

It might just be better off to build a new one, and it would not cost more than 50k, 

 

here we pay 2000 bath for one posts for the work only, and good insulated roof less than 250,- a m2. Steel Same dimentions you have there in the base, is 800 baht for 6 meter stainless steel. So my best guess is build new. 

Thanks for you fantastic info. It is really helping me. So far I'm way under budget. Ha ha ha. Thanks to you!

Why? The posts look substantial enough to do the job. It’s not going to be a living space on top, no walls, so not a huge extra weight.

i would think the job could cost under 50k if it’s only above the existing space

Yes, I was quoted 80 Baht A square metre for labour by a local builder. Thank you so much for your advice. It really is helping me.

How old is the iron? And what iron quality? 

 

How is the iron anchored to the posts? 

Thank you for your reply. The villa is 12 years old and the quality? If you go by the way the villa was built, I would have to say; quality is good. As for (Anchored) See photo. Thanks again

Looks to me like you'd be better off tearing it down and starting over.

I like that idea, thank you for your comment

Thanks  Kwasaki for your reply

the length is about 24 feet and the width is about 19 feet. So that would be the size of the concrete floor. And yes a spiral staircase would be nice too!

Hi all, advice please.

I'm looking at lifting the roof of the carport and adding a floor to give me an extra room, similar to the drawing. Does anyone have an idea of the cost? I don't need walls on the upper level only a railing. Thanks.

Good information

Renewing 5-year license

When it’s time to renew your 5-year license to get another 5-year licence, the procedure is almost exactly the same. The only difference is that you don’t need the medical certificate. The fee is again 505 THB (plus an extra 50 THB if your name or address has to be updated).

Renewing an expired license

You can renew your license up to 3 months before the expiration of your current one. You can also renew it up to 1 year after the expiration date with no penalty.

If your license has expired by more than 1 year, you must retake the theory test and pass 45 of 50 questions to renew.

If your license has expired by more than 3 years you must take both the theory and practical tests.

How to get a 6-year license

The expiration date of a Thai driving license is always set to the license holder’s birthday. Because of this, you should be able to get a “6-year” license renewal with this one weird trick:

Allow your license to expire by one day. Then go to renew it on the day after your birthday. By doing it this way, you should be able to obtain a “6-year” license—or more precisely 5 years and 364 days.

I need to renew my driver's licence. Expires 22nd of March. 

I have a work permit. So I am lead to believe I don't need (residence certificate from immigration) 

I saw this list on another thread by mtls2005

1 ORIGINAL FIVE-YEARS THAI DRIVING LICENCE
2 PASSPORT WITH NON-IMMIGRANT VISA (ORIGINAL AND PHOTO COPY)
3 ORIGINAL PRESENT RESIDENT ADDRESS IN THAILAND CERTIFY FROM EMBASSY / IMMIGRATION BUREAU (VALID FOR 1 YEAR) OR WORK PERMIT WITH ORIGINAL AND PHOTO COPY I have the work permit 

PROCEDURE

1 CHECK THE DOCUMENTS
2 PRINT THE APPLICATION FORM
3 TAKE ONLY A PHYSICAL TEST

If any one has any new information? Can you let me know and agree or disagree with the list? Thank you for reading

Good to know, thanks, worgeordie. 

Hi all, 

I've been on a work permit and visa for about 8 years now. But I want to retire soon.

I have my own condo in my name in Bangkok and I have a 30 year lease on a villa in Hua-Hin. 

Question: If I use my condo in Bangkok as my retirement address is there a time period that I must adhere to? Such as 5 nights in the condo and 2 in the villa?

Hope someone can help?

Thanks in advance

It's coming and there nothing we can do about it now?

As you can see a lot has happened since I had to stop posting in Thai visa. I live a much quieter life now. I moved from Bangkok to Hua Hin at Christmas last year. Because I wanted to help some of the many soi dogs of Bangkok. At this moment in Time, I take care of eight. 

Here is a letter I handed to the court on the day of the hearing.

Hi Paul

 

It would be good to hear the conclusion when you're able to do so.

 

Your posts are worth so much to those who will walk the same path in the future.

 

Best wishes for the future.

 

Hi Blackcab

I'm still trying to start the conclusion. But I can say this. The Juvenile court is fair well pretty fair when slitting up the money and assets. Fair as well when it comes to child maintenance. But when it comes to contact, the court is fair but have no teeth to enforce any contract made by the mother and father.

• Was my first ever post about this matter. WOW! It's been a long 8 years

Every move is posted before it's made .... no wonder this isn't resolved yet..........

Hi jpinx

You said "Every move is posted before it's made .... no wonder this isn't resolved yet.........."

I think you are correct about me posting too much on Thaivisa, that is why I have slowed down a bit. I do not know if they can be bothered to read this thread even if they have found it. But I have not made a move yet nor will I, as the execution officer is responsible for carrying out the orders from the Supreme Court. From the research I have done over the three and a half years; the Alienating Parent will not stop his/her ways till they are about to get into trouble or it's going to cost them their liberty. Because they are very happy abusing young children that love them dearly and will do anything to be with them. But the cowards will just walk away when the heat gets too much for them. That is when it will be resolved, and I do not post everything on here, as it could be classed as sub judice and come back and bite me in the ass later.

But if they want to try and get the execution officer to listen to them, "be my guest." I'm sure they will try anything so, up to them. This case will finish the moment just before one of those brave hero's is about to be arrested.

As of today I have had zero contact with my daughter since the last day of term. But maybe it is better for her that I just wait now as the first thing the mother's side does is put my daughter in the firing line. Best I wait till she is in a safe place before I try and talk to her.

Never heard anything like this or read about it on this forum.

Without really knowing ur familysituation exactly and about your workingsituation, apart from what u wrote, i would make sure 1st of all that ur son stays with u on a daily basis. Based on what u wrote that needs adapting from u. The more alarming fact, although you did not mention this, is that for his mother it is apparantly ok. As it happened not as an incident but routinely. I would assume that your son has told her, and fammembers about it. You better focus yourself on clearing all that before taking the steps as you indicated.

If the above is non applicable, i would try to get in touch with other parents kids to see if they are aware of what is happening at said school, and if yes, what their thoughts are about it. Continue from there. I doubt though that you, as being a foreigner, alone will be able to achieve something but surely it is worth trying to stop this behaviour by people with who children should be safe with. I truly feel for your son and should be proud of him for opening up to you.

Best of luck !

Good idea to have a lawyer write letters and take action.

There is no excuse for such behavior by teachers and I am pretty sure it is illegal.

When i took my kids to thai school I informed the teachers and the principal that if the kids needed disciplined for them to call me and i would do it. No teacher was allowed to hit my kids and none did.

Hi ThaiTbone.

Very nicely written, but as Mr. (P) has said; the mother seems to be OK with the schools actions? The mother would have been the person signing in your child to the said school. So if the mother does not (back you up) then I fear you have little chance with the school. I agree with what has been said above, "never let your child out of your sight while in Thailand." Or you may end up like me. Be careful trust no one. Good luck anyway. Please let us know how you get on.

any updates?

Hi eeergood

No update to mention, only to say my daughter is missing again, the mother's side will not answer the phone or answer text messages.

But my lawyer is back from his holiday today. So I will make contact today or tomorrow. So maybe we can both go and see the execution officer together?

Thanks for you comments eeergood. I soon as I know anything I will post. I am looking forward in learning about this execution officers powers myself

Thanks Mario: agree
