Damini had 99.99%?  What sizes?

And I didn't want to get involved in the usual debates that occur on this forum.

Why is that a problem?  All you have to do is not get involved, don’t engage.

Retirement visa?  Or non O extension based on retirement ? Or non OA extension? Or….

I appreciate all the replies. However, they contain rather different advice. In previous years with similar flights, sometimes I had to go through immigation here, sometimes in Bangkok.  So the question is what is the procedure at present? Has anyone had recent actual experience?

Why don’t you call Thai Airlines?

Who in their right mind would have a credit card delivered by regular post......  It's DHL or FedEx..... The only way!

Not true.  Regular mail works just fine for most. Got five that way so far this year.

Does filtering before the water enters the house not affect water pressure?

Of course it does just like filtering after it enters the house will affect it.    Maybe not exactly the same effect but probably very close

I done it today without any Insurance requirements.

 I never had Health insurance all my life, until applying for “1 year extension “, second time around ( first one was changed when I got a job to a work permit).

 I was misled into getting Insurance which I did , but never needed it.

An Agent who assisted me in the past also said the same. So I am a bit confused about this ?

Have you been getting extensions on a Non IMM O or O-A?

The neighbor arranged for it to be cut and will pay.

If there are coconuts the cutter usually pays for them so the owner receives money and does not pay.

It would actually be 24 times a month so $30.

Earlier you said 6 round trips a week which would be 12 trips a week or about 48 trips a month.  Wouldn’t it?

or do you do a round trip in one ride?

It depends on perspective

Hope you get some someday.

Just use your other passport, the one with the other name.

the problem is that once you paid to 'extend' the power's company reach, it's not exclusively yours, should you have a neighbour further down the road in your street, they could connect up to the poles you paid to 'extend' from the main road

Well good chance he will be connecting to an extension somebody else paid for.  So hard to call it a problem 

You should check with the PEA.  The cable 20 meters away may not be available

I’m sure they have atm’s and you can set your take out limit very high daily

Very low limits last time I was there.  Small value notes.

Do they have ATMs in small villages? Do the ATMs give you Thai Baht? Do the ATMs let you withdraw 500k baht in one transaction? Do the ATMs let you withdraw for free with no fees? I'm guessing it's a big fat "no" for all of these questions.

That is a lot of silly questions.
