Andy's bank account was frozen/closed because there is a minimum balanced required or a service charge is imposed.  When the charge exceeds the amount deposited, the account is closed/frozen.   Check with your bank on the amount required.  

If you leave enough money in the account, the bank can, just like U.S. banks, use the money to earn income for themselves and, therefore, take no action against the account.  Contact your bank and ask them how much to leave in an account with no activity for 1 or 2 years (or more).  No need to add you will be out of the country.  

And definitely follow DBrenn's advice and have on-line banking to just check on it now and then.

I suggest it will be better to go to your local post office in person with the print out of the on line tracking.   They will need to see what you see to really discover what happened.  

You might ask at a hospital where to find such a place convenient to where you live (or ?).   You want a specific capability that I want to say is not available at most massage parlors.

The typical masseuse/masseur has a ingrained routine that they follow that only differs by whether you say one hour or two hours.  They may understand exactly what you ask for but then may mentally start thinking about other things and let the muscle memory take over after a certain amount of time.    I have even had one specific masseuse who would fall asleep while massaging if she was't talking to another masseuse, neither option got me the massage I asked for.

aha ... i see.    so a fax should be   ...   + country code - area code -  fax number     ??

If using a fax machine and have already dialed the overseas access code, then yes.  If using an on line service like FaxZero, then it is only the area code and fax number for faxes to the U.S.

There are internet based fax services that are very cheap or even free to USA - that is what I used before my insurance provided online claim submission service.  Below is the service I used and had very good service from them using both free and paid service.

https://faxzero.com/

 

((these just require a scan - no fax machine needed))

I, too, use FaxZero as a free method to send faxes to the U.S.   While they have a limit on the number of faxes per day and the number of attachments/pages per fax, you probably can get around that by sending multiple faxes.  Maybe label them at the top  1 OF 3 FAXES, 2 OF 3 FAXES, ETC.

Go south on the Mae Jo Chiangmai Road.  Across the street from Sunshine Village and Mama Mia Pizza, north of the wholesale market.  Signs on 1001 but you have to turn east and go down the side road 25 meters or so.

Thanks for that post.  I had given up on even asking.  

Have you search on the web and found there is such a treaty between Thailand and Australia regarding driver's licenses?  What you quoted (l copied below) only says IF A TREATY EXISTS, it does not say one does exist.

I am not trying to gratuitously argue with you.  I just deal with this issue fairly frequently and the answer will be useful to me. 

Section 42-2
In case there’s a treaty between the Thai government and a foreign government regarding mutual acceptance of driver’s license, an alien who doesn’t have an immigrant visa may drive a motor vehicle with a driver’s license issued by such a foreign government, OR an automobile association authorized by such a foreign government."

That is the correct site.   Multi-storey building.   There will be signs directing you where to go on the ground floor, if I remember corrrectly.  

You might want to check the USPS regulations on this:   USPS

FOR UBONJOE:

Say a farang and his Thai wife leave the country.  When they return, could the Thai wife (if she is the owner of their residence) file the TM30 as they go through immigration at the airport?

Does anyone have any history of buying on line from Arduitronics?  I want to get a couple of items they list but have never heard of the company before I started searching for some specific components.  The site wants payment to a bank account rather than a charge to a credit card.  

Or do you know of another on line source for products like Ublox NEO-M8N GPS Module with Antenna.

If someone lives there, they could get the tubes of bottle rockets and shoot them  off as they come in to nest.   We have done that for several nights in a row and the birds quit nesting in our trees ...... until the next year.

The only nearby location that will do a multiple entry non-o visa for retirement is Penang. You would need 800b baht in the bank or proof of 65k baht income. If using the money in the bank option the ask for proof you are retired.   

If married to a Thai you can get a multiple entry non-o visa in Savannakhet Laos (Sisaket is in Thailand) with no financial.proof.

So if he leaves the country without a reentry permit (cancelling his retirement visa) or near or after it expires, won't he be questioned why he didn't renew in country?  Penang will see 7 years of extensions and then .....  it should raise questions in their minds; it would definitely raise questions in my mind. And what's to say he won't run into the same documentation requirements at an embassy when they review his passport and frequent trips in and out of Thailand and, possibly, check the immigration data base on-line and see some data entry explaining why? 

Even if he gets it in Penang, won't he still have the issue of the TM30 being required each time he arrives  back in country?  

From what little I read here, I do not see that going to Penang to renew his stay is going to make it easier for him or require less documentation than staying at home and going through the same process.  Plus staying at home he would probably have to ability to gather what ever information is required while staying in a hotel in Penang trying to gather documents...... ?????

They have the maps to determine by address whether or not they are in your area.   True is in L&H Park, 3BB, also.   I think Sinet, too.   TOT is definitely there with ADSL; they may also have fiber now.

The  Royal Thai Consulate in L.A.  is a official consulate, not the office of a honorary consul.

Best method, I would say, would be to go to Central Festival Mall where all the providers have stores/booths and ask.  You can cover all of them at one time.  There are several providers of FTTX.   Month to month?  I do not know.

On Mahidol Road, going west toward the airport, Carpet Inter  map, address, telephone shown 

Ask your insurance company who they send cars to for accident repairs.   When a car is over 5 years old, Viraya, for example, no longer lets the dealer repair and paint and offers the owner the option of going somewhere else or, if around Mae Jo, going to TVL on the east side Hwy1001  between the middle and outer ring roads.  They use genuine parts rather than after market parts, unless you  ask for the cheaper part.

Viraya and the other insurers probably have "accredited" repair shops in different sections of the city.  I would personally trust them more than just any ole paint and body shop.

I would recommend going to housing developments after sales service offices and ask them for information about the home security systems they install.   I know some one them install good perimeter alarms with motion sensors inside during construction.   Those same companies most likely have the ability to add such systems on finished houses, including remote viewing CCTV over the internet.

The old life time licenses held by Thais can  be exchange for a life time smart card.  That puts it in the computer so I would assume a replacement can be issued.  For the rest of us, out of luck.

It also may be affected by how you "clean" your computer, delete temp files and cache, etc.  I also find my PC seems faster if I turn off the modem/route when I go to bed.

I have True fiber 30MB/3MB program.  Here are my today test results.  I frequent get faster download speed from the U.S., but this is what it is now.

Your post was not clear to me so I have to ask if  you are simply asking "is the agreed to settlement from a divorce at the amphur recorded on the back of the khor 7 and/or khor 3?"   And that all you want are the answers to 

1. Yes or no, back of khor 3
2. Yes or no, back of khor 7

Am I correct?

multiply kgf/cm2 by 14 to get PSI.  You heater will take up to 49 psi.  and the minimum of 2.24 is so low that it effectively would work with any flow.   So your problem of fluctuating temperature seems to me to be a pump fluctuation issue giving you varying amounts of cold water.  

I am guessing this is one of those on the shower wall units and that the shower head hose is smaller in diameter than the pipe to the cold water faucet.  So as total flow fluctuates, cold water fluctuates while the hot water flow is constant?  Or something like that?

My pump was about 18,000 baht but we own our house and I wanted a visual psi guage to look at as I adjust pressure.  We bought a pump that looks like yours for the MIL who now has a set up like yours.   Very poor flow out of the shower head upstairs because of the small diameter hose, but the temp is constantly the same (water warmer, not heater). 

Again, my analysis is based on my experiences and your mileage may differ.  Hope it at least gives you more info to think about.
