There must be a way to exhaust the air from the pump's water tank. I remember I had this problem with a copy of a Hitachi pump. In my case, it was a kind of screw that I had to remove in order to let the air out.

There was a good piece of advice which by the way is pure common sense, wait until the end of the school year/academic year. In the middle of a school year, if a school is looking for a teacher, it's for immediate entry. They most likely got a problem with a teacher. The reason for this article is to recommend that all foreign teachers read the Labour Protection Act carefully, here: https://www.labour.go.th/attachments/article/47756/Labour_Protection_Act_BE2541.pdf or here: https://<removed>.com/documents/Labour Laws/The Labour Protection Act B.E. 2541.pdf I worked in education in Thailand from 2003 to 2017, then I retired at 65 (last employer: Asian University).

You little genius, where do you see any amulets???

There's a Belgian guy in Hua Hin producing different types of dry cured sausages. Baan Fostier on Shopee or on his FB page... or https://baanfostier.com

You won't be on her tabian baan. By the way why don't you have a Thai spouse visa? I have a yellow tabian baan and a pink ID, but this does not change anything for the 90 days report nor for visa extension. The pink ID card helps when they need your ID as at the post office for instance. Anyway, my car or my motorbike driving licences would also do the job. If the owner of the rented place in Bkk fills in the right form, this will enable you to carry on reporting your 90 days in Bkk as usual.

Read carefully :" I've been on annual retirement extensions for many years "

Indeed, pineapples are great. My wife grows pineapple, our region is famous for pineapples (Ray Muang - Loei). I usually eat a lot of them. One drawback, when I eat too much of them, my palate hurts… Add some fresh juice to the marinade of your barbecues, spare ribs for instance, it tenders the meat and gives a great taste.

If I divide your 6,102 bahts by 1102 units it gives me 5.54 THB/unit. I'm off grid, in the middle of nowhere, so solar plus batteries is my only solution. We are using between 4 and 5 units a day and if I divide my investment by the number of units we have used so far, I'm between 20-25 THB/unit… History of eight years... If I had to make the same investment today, it would be cheaper, because we can now source long-lasting LiFePO4 batteries, and the price of solar panels has dramatically dropped. Also, the hybrid solar inverters controllers are now very reliable and cheaper than a solution controller plus inverter.

The problem with these online stores is that neither Shopee nor Lazada evaluates the “quality” of the sellers or their ability to run a business. Shopee's message is simply informing you that the seller in question might have stopped his business without closing their account. Besides this, Shopee offers great protection in case of non-compliant items. With Lazada, it's more difficult to get your money back if you're not using their App. It's just common sense not to engage in a transaction with a store that wasn't active on the same day.

They usually do that home visit only once, the first time. I'm surprised by the length of that verification period. I live in Loei, they visited my house for the first application only and after that, it took each time about one month to get the actual Thai spouse visa…

Sorry, he's right. Your post is an amalgam of platitudes and pushes open doors. Moreover, there are no statistical or sociological references...

Have you ever been in Chonburi (Chonburi, Bowin, Laemchabang) or Rayong for example? There are lots of industrial estates hosting factories producing goods for export, amongst which we can see lots of US companies. I'm not sure that the investors will appreciate the erratic decisions of Orange Donald Duck Trump... Mid-Term is going to be an interesting time.

Sorry, but your question deserves such an answer. You can receive as many answers as there are such villages with older foreigners living in rural areas. How long have you been in Thailand, do you speak Thai? Villagers will love one person and not like another one without you knowing the reason. By the way, the immigration laws do not allow people with extremely low income. Simply consider that the government recently raised the minimum daily wage to THB 400 in Bangkok. When workers come to our place, we pay them 400 to 500 bahts a day, we grow rubber trees and some fruit plus some rice, so yes indeed it's upcountry (Loei province). I'm 73 years old, married, living in my wife's village and cannot answer your question. I arrived in 2003. Furthermore, I can speak, read, and write in Thai, but will never claim to know or understand them 100%. “Do they feel these foreigners should be spending more to help the local economy or contributing something financially to the community?” That's an interesting and particularly philosophically well-rounded question. Do you really think that the people in those rural, remote areas ask themselves such metaphysical questions? And you started your post with another interesting point: ” I’ve noticed there are some older foreigners who choose to settle in rural villages of Thailand on low retirement incomes…. ” You noticed…, in that case, why didn't you simply ask?

You can find a great variety of stones in locations where people tap rubber trees, there are different grades. We have rubber trees here and the knives must be very sharp. This link as an example, we buy our stones locally (Loei). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i5772920534.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.70.49a25047rthiTL

I sincerely hope she will not be obliged to learn some English words:” Hello, welcome! What would you like some drink?”
