  1. Last time (and the time before) in Korat, we only brought in one copy of each. Then after signing, the stack was then copied at our expense. Saved a bit of signing fatigue.
  2. That is the oddest thing I ever heard. I have never had them even ask to come in the house. Were your witness's already in the house when they came, and you invited them in? Did they take any other photos in the house? Taking the photo from outside makes me wonder if they were not supposed to be in there.
  3. Eight years ago the Bangkok Bank in New York was doing the transfers. You had an account with that bank that the SS check went into. They no longer do that. I don't know how SS checks are handled. I had to change to having my check sent to my US bank and transferring two or three times a year through Wise.
  4. The reason. The marriage visa is for couples that are living together. I know of one now and one in the past that no longer live together and the one in the past was even living with another woman. The one I know of now lives about 100km away. They get together for his extension and when Imm calls and makes the appointment drives to her house. It has become harder for him due to the fact Imm now (this year is the first time this was required of me) requires the village head to be a witness, and he won't put his head in a noose.
  5. Stay away from all those security cameras then! Even when they wanted that picture sitting on the bed many years ago, THEY didn't take it.
  6. I have had at least 5 home visits, mostly due to having to get new visas. Never have they asked for money. The pictures they have taken have been of witness's signing confirmations that I live there and one of my wife and I with the lead officer in front of our address (I think that one is more to show that they were really there and did their job). Also they never came into the house.
  7. Most of the chlorine evaporates out of sitting water in 24 hrs or 20 minutes of boiling. I lived across the street from one of those filtered water machines for 6 months, never saw them come and clean the filter. Once in Mexico I saw a bunch of kids filling empty water bottles from a tap behind a store and then putting a little super glue on the cap.
  8. We applied in BKK. Every since, almost 13 yrs now, we lived in Thailand just under the 180 day limit. One time returning to the US, the officer counted the days, smile, and said I see you have done your homework. It is faster to apply in BKK. As someone had said, it took about 3 months, My wife got a 10 year, but passed citizen test in 3. I see---Another old post
  9. I heard Korean Air was the first to start doing that. Just wait! A new charge for over weight passengers ????
  10. Wow, you have jumped into the Thai life style. I felt bad that I had to refuse the field rat that my brother in law offered me for lunch. I heard that "IF" the palaa is fermented long enough, it does kill the flukes, but that is rarely the case of the stuff sold by the local sellers at the market. I just saw how old this post is.
  11. If the girl was old enough. and was hit by someone running a red light would still think she would be 50% to blame? The accident was 100% his fault. The under age girl is another matter.
  12. This maybe better https://tha.sika.com/en/construction/roof-systems/thermal-insulation.html The problem is that they are very flamable and would need to be covered with something like gibson board
  13. This is as close as I can find that might work http://www.thaifoamgroup.com/index.php/product/foam-sheet
  14. I loved the 60's, Painted VW bus, hair halfway down my back, I was there, Haight Ashbury, The Sunset Strip. Sitting across from The Birds and Bob Dylan at Canters Deli. Hitch a ride with Elvis on his way to the movie studio. Held the door open for Ray Charles at some converted railcar diner on the strip. "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you are with". 70s, not so much, Disco and Polyester. 80s, building log cabins in Sun Valley, 90s started my own construction company.
  15. I was a Navy brat. My grandfather was one of the last horse soldiers, I sold papers in the mess hall. The last thing I ever wanted to be was in the military. I was drafted, waiting for the bus to go to Fort Ord. They had 3 people too many and they called out my name as one to come in next the next month. I walked up to the guy at the desk and told him there was no way I will come back in here on my own two feet. He slid a sheet of paper across the desk and said " Write that down and sign it." I did, he said I was free to go. I waited at home, sure I would be taken away, but instead they gave me a 1Y. That was in early 68.
  16. Sorry, I'm not understanding what you want. Are you looking to cut out the noise around you so you can concentrate, OR are you looking to cut noise the mic receives.
  17. I read his explanation. Almost as obscure as the cartoon. I think that was the point. It was a kind of "one hand clapping"
  18. I believe those are called D-traps in the states. They are not legal there either. I have one under my bath room sink. They work well, just remember to clean them from time to time.
