Well, unfortunately, the forum does not accept .PDF files, and I do not remember where I got mine. Look here: https://www.smartadvisor-thailand.com/16758379/download

I'm also using the White Swan because of its high protein content, close to 14%. But the quality of the flour itself is not consistent. I always follow the same recipe, the outcome is different, not bad, but different each time. I built a pizza oven with firebricks and bake ten baguettes-like breads at a time (Pompei style oven Forno Bravo design, inside Ø 100 cm). Likewise, I also would like to find another source for my flour. In Chiang Mai, you have this shop : https://www.cmbakermart.biz/home.

Here's where I live, no traffic, no pollution, in the middle of nowhere, still covered by my Thai Social Security, ประกันสังคม https://youtu.be/IHNdzwHywnk

They do everything to force you to use the app rather than your desktop. The reason, they would like to have only one program to maintain. I live in an isolated province, Loei, with a low supply. Hence, the need to shop online to buy what I can't find locally. Their app is crap, I'm 73 years old and most of the time I need a magnifier to read what's written on that piece of s..t, I'm using my desktop 99.9% of the time.

I expect to run into a similar problem... The Belgian embassy now requires us to sign our documents in person, not by mail anymore. Some brilliant civil servants came to this good idea having a 73 years old man commuting from Loei to Bangkok, with all the burden of an embassy appointment. My pension is transferred to my Siam Commercial Bank account, and there's no branch in Chiang Khan, immigration office for Loei province. My visa expires on Feb 22nd, I'm going to see with immigration what I need to do.

This was to be expected, as this is a campaign organized by those who oppose the liberalization of the sale of alcohol. Whoever wants to find alcohol will find it, and it is not a law that will change things. To answer those who criticize the Thai people's driving, I've been driving in Thailand for twenty-two years. Since I retired, I have been driving fewer kilometres, but before that, more than 35,000 km a year, sometimes 50,000. You have to adapt and be defensive, but the Thais don't necessarily drive worse than in other countries, for some, on the contrary. They do not drive aggressively as in some other countries.

I'm not Cecil B Demille...

I saw in another topic that some people were interested in Champagne. I'm interested in recycling your old bottles for my mango wine, see short video... I do not need a lot... Collecting two or three bottles at a time is OK for me. I'll be in Pattaya area between Dec 27 and Jan 3rd. 081 781 5652 Thanks Season Greetings VID-20230912-Glass.mp4

Same here, Freixenet is a good one, another worth trying : Codorniu...

Well, last year, I found some reasonably priced in Pattaya, at the Food Mart next to the airport bus station, near the intersection of Thappraya Rd and Thepprasit Rd. By the way, where could I find empty champagne bottles? I need some to make my mango sparkling wine, champagne method, or to brew a Belgian Abbey beer... I live in Loei, but I go to Jomtien at the end of the year, to spend a family holiday, and meet some friends...

Download theLabour Protection Act B.E. 2541. Indeed, they may fire you, in that case according to the number of months/years you have been working there, they have to pay severance.

This may be an indicator of cash flow problems in this bank... You should know that depositing money in a bank account amounts to lending money to the bank. From a legal and accounting viewpoint, you are not the owner of the deposited amounts, but a creditor.

Well, tradition says down after the Epiphany on January 6... Up the fourth Sunday before Christmas, this year on Sunday November 30...

Killing 81 fishermen, is a crime. The USA behaves like a rogue state. Non mentioning the support to the genocide in Gaza.

I live in Loei, a quiet town, but no foreign food, almost no night-life. A place to avoid: Pai...

Exactly, this is what I was about to write too. We grow sticky rice here. Only four rais, the rest of the property is covered by rubber trees and fruits. In the beginning my wife grew some Jasmine fragrant rice for me, but not any more. In fact, I eat more potatoes than rice and I like sticky rice too. We buy now and then a bag of Jasmine rice we eat when she prepares red curry, for instance.

I'm on a Thai spouse visa, my dear friend... This does not change anything to the income evidence, except its level. In my case a monthly 40kTHB, or 400kTHB at the bank and in your situation a monthly 'income stream' of 65kTHB, or 800kTHB. I'm above both anyway. I've just got my online TM47 approved. Furthermore, I've been living here since 2003, retired from a University in 2017, and on a Thai spouse visa since then without a single incident. Good luck with your future endeavours.

What’s truer than my own eight-year experience that I’ve shared here to contribute to the topic of this thread? Regarding the bank statement, it was an immigration officer who told me to open a bank account at Kasikorn or Krungthai because there was no Siam Commercial Bank branch in Chiang Khan. This is the reason why I contacted the consular section of my embassy and obtained the affidavit requested by the immigration office as another option. Before retiring, I worked for a university in Chonburi province. This seems to be facts... The word pension, although more than 60% of English vocabulary comes from French, my mother tongue, can be a false friend and have a different meaning in English than in French. Well, no, I checked in my Oxford Dictionary, and it has the exact same meaning in English... And by the way, can you explain the difference you see between the pension I receive each month from my government and what you call an income stream? You seem to be someone who likes to split hairs and insists on being impolite.

"Which in itself is crazy, as the income does not necessarily need to come from pension." You seem to like to break open doors... Of course not, but in my case, my income is my pension... A nonsense, crazy... Aggressive wording from a "Global Moderator" (???). Well, too bad for you, but in my situation, it has been working since I retired in 2017. "In reality, the only way to prove monthly transfers is via 12 month Bank statement." Good luck with that one if your bank does not have a branch in the vicinity of the immigration office... I'm with SCB, no branch in Chiang Khan (Loei province immigration)...

Well, I'm from Belgium, our embassy went the same way, but due to the pressure from Belgians in Thailand, the embassy still provides an affidavit which is accepted by the immigration. As a counterpart, the embassy requires a piece of evidence, e.g. a certificate from the pension office.

Frankly speaking, what's the issue? Are you measuring your fuel consumption with that precision? Some like to split hairs... Turn on Google Maps and you'll get to your destination.

All this smells of improvisation...

First with a Thai lady: well, my wife only speaks Thai and the language of Loei, close to Laotian. Without being able to speak Thai, no communication is possible. On top of that, speaking the language drastically changes your approach to the locals, they appreciate that you made the effort to learn their language. At home, I only speak Thai, I can read and write some day to day life basic vocabulary. It took a while, but it is well worth the effort.
