Amazing people are bored and try something exciting, as not having the demanded amount of money on bank prior to extension. More excitement, get paper from bank, copy on computer and edit (delete) if it shows and then print again. As long there is no written signature on it. Or as said: agent. Or beg, or pay officer. All very exciting. If your done with excitement, maybe have 2 bank accounts and then dont ever use the 800 kBaht account. Do a 5000 extra in case bank decides to have some costs and then lower it .

My guess would be, they save it up, until tax has to be paid in the specific time of tax paying. In the meantime, they will give you even a tax ID and then you need to pay. All banks are in it and shift over registration of the amounts from abroad from everybody. Wait for the envelope, which will surprise you then. You know how governments work, they always try to surprise with negative outcome for you. No one knows now how they would do it, secret surprise. Just the same as changing the elite visa. They let you know, you can anticipate in time and then changed. Making it extreme expensive.

Exactly the way Thai government want it. Rich people to flow in and take over. Russian mob spreading from Pattaya to Phuket. Rich and it doesnt matter if criminal. Give it some years and Phuket is completely concrete. And with the new airport coming in Phang Nga, also that will go down on more rich people to come. What a beautiful side effect from a war. Phuket will become "elite".

PM Offers Clarification on Landbridge Project
xtrnuno41 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
2 harbors must be made for colossal ships. Chumphon and Ranong. Ships are unloaded and everything has to be transported by rail or truck through the stretch between the ports. Then they are put back on ships on the other side to continue their journey. So many locomotives (electric?) and/or trucks. Cranes for unloading and loading. What I call lost energy, day in, day out. Does that really outweigh the detour? I'm not even talking about the land adjustments, destruction, many roads and rails. The 4 will have to be widened considerably and next to that the rail will be? Some (lots) people will have to move. And Lamnan Kra Buri National Park will then be a thing of the past. Then sacrifice too. The seas on either side too. The question is what this will do in terms of pollution and impact on nautical life. There has to be very deep waterways for the ships. How big are the ships coming there? For instance, The Ever Ace, 400 meters long, 61,5 wide and 15 m depth in water, carrying 24000 containers ! Of course, for energy there will have to be gigantic power plants. Can I still propose, while we are at it, to bore a tunnel all the way from port to port and allow transport to continue there. Turn them into vacuum tunnels and that will also save energy, perhaps? There will be a lot of brown envelopes being passed around again. im not an expert, but maybe it would be better to make that canal then. Land will be lost anyhow. But then no ports, no extra pollution with trains and or trucks, less time, ships can get straight through, no maintenance on trains /trucks cranes and other things. Just only on canal. -

PART 2 Thai Wife Being Bullied By Family
xtrnuno41 replied to thefarangteacher's topic in Marriage and Divorce
Know about a Thai woman, who did a lot for her mom and sister. Always never enough, so at one point the Thai woman had enough. Leaving the place where she lived, moved far away, didnt tell anyone and also not anymore responding on phone calls. The end.+ You do what you want to do and if its not enough, leave or just stick to your point. However your wife is in the middle, so support her mentally and totally. All isnt easy, but stick with your agreement made with wife for the 2000 baht support for grandma. Lots of people cant appreciate, help you give. Fact of life. -
"My country" has the same rule about pedestrians or even more harsh. If pedestrian comes up to crossing, before even put a foot on crossing, you have to stop. As pedestrian however you must be aware it is also ignored sometimes, you cant go blind on that. I believe the fine is a 110 euro if a police officer sees you ignoring it. However police checking upon that is low. With the fine, you also have to pay administration costs 9 euro, so extra. Maybe they will do to reach to their quotum of fines every month. As police have quotum on fines ! They MUST do a number of fines ! The force is shrinking in officers, so more cams are bought to flash you. Also more mobile ones, to keep up collecting money for government from fines. Maybe even full automatic proces with wifi sending and computers sending fines out. Some fines: you dont want to do alcohol test with officer 160 euro, you dont want to do it in police station 280 euro and the you commit a felony, so you have criminal record ! Using disabled parking space 350 euro. your tires are worn 500 euro. And it goes on and on. Even taking a shopping car from supermarket home can cost you 100 euro. HOLDING a phone while driving 380 euro. Year 2022, 8.153.043 fines, so calculated with just 100 euro, brings in 800 million euro and that is just with 100 euro/fine. Brings it in real closer to 1 billion euro/year. Wonder what it would bring in in Thailand when they would really do the same as in "my country".

What is new? For that matter the EU also fails, merely on its citizens. EU ruling says take in "refugees"and they come with the thousands and who is paying? The citizens. In "my country" we dont have houses and citizens are on waiting lists for many years and now the "refugees" are even above own citizens for houses. Thanks to EU. UK has to decide self, but governments can be a pita as well. Our last governments were a pita aswel and it looks like it is to continu however now with other main party. It is the global system which is out of control with way too many people on this earth. Wait for next virus.

Worst Joke Ever 2025

Good way to have customers in your shop! -
you measured power and it is high. Load is too less and pump is working hard. 2.8 amps. 644 W. It is doing more then nominal. It will heat up till thermal trip. You could make a bypass of water, circulating back through valve to tank and regulate flow, until it is on 300 W 1,3 A. Also flow out of hose could be less then. You could have bigger hose, so less pressure drop and more waterflow. Measure to 300 W, 1,3 A. Pipes are mostly specified with pumps. If you, at the end go back to 1/2 inch, you maybe could have problem back. Maybe not as the rest of the hose line is bigger. There is a quadratic increase in resistance by pipes, due to speed of fluid. The more flow , the more (quadratic) resistance. The more power you need. What I remembered from long time ago. Maybe with a pulse wide modulator, you change frequency. Pump will run slower, less, 300 W set. Measuring on feed of pwm. Voltage steady 230 volt and power 1.3 A then. Of course less water at end, but probably no trip.

Thailand. Driving up to pedestrian crossing, I stop, Thai dont stop ! Had to adjust NOT to that when Thai are in the back, it is for pedestrians own safety. Really must be aware when to stop. Redlight on big road, I stop. Thai behind me speeding by, using his horn to tell im stupid and shouldnt stop. I admit it was a weird light, but it was red. Cant make it different. Make a right turn on green traffic light, had to break instantly hard and fast, as a Thai decided to cross section diagonally. Thai truck, no lights driving in the dark on right lane. I was doing right lane with a 100km/h. Saw something that could be silhouet of something in that lane, so went left to be sure. Good decision, it was a car with no lights. You must stay awake and alert, as it happens in Thailand. Crossing road by foot? I look left AND right several times. As they can from BOTH ways, just driving on wrong side of road.

Israel losing global support over Gaza bombing, Biden says
xtrnuno41 replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
Well read "Imagine" song text from a dreamer. You really think the Israëliets will back down? Since 1948 nothing but troubles and wars. Hypocrite from UN to say stop. The whole middle east keeps on killing. Dictators, religions, groups lets get it on. Mankind do always, see history. Time for AGI and then stop, or not? Mankind to machines or visiting aliens?! -
IS the fan of the motor still really tight attached to the motor? If the fan is somehow loose, it can turn, but not efficiently, it slips and then not cooling well, the motor. You mentioned weak airflow. A pin maybe be broken or the glued connection of the fan is out of order. Motor gets heated and has thermal trip at some point.

I also use the iron blade, But snake was probably lucky then, as i saw no blood or anything other weird. The snake was just groggy and I lifted it up on a rake to put it on other side of the wall. Really exciting all, guess my adrenaline was sky high I should do at least leather boots with toecap, I saw on Lazada , still not done. Maybe rubber is too soft and they can penetrate. Pangolin and Cat are there with quite a price difference. Cat more expensive due to import USA? But seems Pangolin is also doing in safety wear, worldwide. Show you Pangolin. Looking great, though? Well there are more brands. Did search on "caterpillar safety boots" and then find leather ones. Also cover body totally, especially when it gets to shimmer, the mosquitoes find me, the bitches love me. And when they bite, I get big itchy allergy bumps. Last year, just 5 minutes outside and bitten 6 times everywhere! Only seen one once, on belly, killed her, but too late.

Well still be aware. Last year I was confronted with tiny cobra in mother in law's house (first ever since mom lived there for long time, dog had found it)and some later when i was cutting grass with bushcutter, I saw a snake flying in front of me. It was hit by the bushcutter and after landing did an attack. It missed me, happily. It sat down then and i could see what is was, a Malaysian pit viper ! Checked on internet. One of those snakes that will stay put and dont go away and are highly grumpy. I was very happy the bush cutter met it first. Probably should have killed it then (I didnt) as my wife later also had the encounter with it(or other one?) but on same place. So the place is to be aware, have to change the surrounding to more open, so they cant hide. It seems. Have met some more snakes (dog is a true good warning animal) and even a snake's nest with 5 eggs. One cracked and had snake inside. Last year was certainly snake year for me. DOnt need that.

Wouldnt too much upset you, as there are way more other tiny animals worms, viruses which can effect you bad Give you one extra, Lyme disease transmitted by ticks and you sure have ticks in Thailand. Or for that matter this one in Thailand, you only have to touch this animal for a real negative effect. It is in Thai, but it shows for itself. My wife came with it once If you see the movie then you will watch out for this beetle. Up to 1 cm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paederus You get infected by it , just by touch, takes 12-36 hours to show you, it did touched you. It is on his body. It doesnt bite. So be aware getting rid of it when on your body If you notice then washing with soap is the only thing to do and then wait. If i red wiki right. It starts with a rash and then get worse and takes up to 3 weeks to go down again. rove beetle.mp4

IT has no economical value anymore, so waste. Also recycling, not really profitabel and thats the point. Thats why they dump it in the oceans, 9000000 TONS of plastic every year. Can you imagine that amount in your back yard? Plastic has been found in birds, fish food and it is even found already in humans blood ! it looks like this: Then even more stupid, there are organisations trying to get it out again ! What a waste of energy and effort. I do admire them anyway, but ...?! Governments should do something about it, but dont. I cant go to store and ask for bulk or a refill, I MUST have all plastic with me. Let me refill in a store, but no not possible. I do admire Thailand as they have refill, like for detergents, tinier package. Remember the time when i had to do vegetable shopping, for mom and all was wrapped in old news papers. Instant recycling. I have a plastic bag to do shopping with and use it every time, it's now about 30 years old but still in use, carried lots of stuf in it all the time. Yes , it looks old but still usable, so i do. Always plan when going out to have bag with me, so i can refuse the shops plastic bags. Also in Thailand and made my wife aware of it. She followed my lead, well if she remembers. But when im there, there is always the multi usable bag, was a crime to find a good one in Thailand, at least where i was. Governments should be ashamed, as they are the ones who can control it. IM a victim and have to try to make it less in what ever i can do. Environment, climate change, merely governments, profit, tax... money.

I appreciate your Christmas greetings but have some more exercise on the flute. My ears are protesting. Maybe next year, you will do fine. -
Of course, we do have now AI and soon AGI. We have quantum computers. We can let someone with Parkinson disease, move in a normal way. And way more things we maybe will never know, but it is there. You can put all on clickbait, but then you ignore progress.

Fact with EV's they are allowed to make. Other engines or motors should hold. IF Toyota is developing a motor on water in secret, you can imagine. Even, if you see in that movie 2 people were murdered in the 7 ties , as they had a motor running on water, you can imagine. It is almost at end of movie. They were offered millions to stop, didnt accept and were finished. There are more movies about inventors killed, cq murdered. Or their inventions weren taken off market, bought and put away. In the start of the 8 ties, I recall a tiny headline in newspaper on front page then, really popping out, stating on an invention to generate energy on earth movement. I never ever heard, red again from it. I thought all leaded petrol was out of the world, but no Algeria changed in 2021 ! From 2002 still 86 countries had to change . Didnt know untill I red about it. Only the bigger, wealthier countries did already in the eighties, it seems. As from lead you get sick and it effects your brains ! When i red, just checking it moment ago, I felt pissed. How this can happen? Well for EV's look at this for the history ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIHDyB9bgbA So the moral is, if you try to press to other solutions, you are going down. You dont fit in with big guys and you are an enemy. A choice is made to have people suffer and get intoxicated with lead ,,, because of just ordinary money. Though I was impressed, being in California, USA in 92, seeing many windmills generating power.
