  1. Aircons are correctly like you say installed directly to the main breaker. One for each. The eletricity calculation is from the app that belongs to the Airconditioner brand. most do this now. When it comes to other stuff you want to control Fridges.. hot water heaters.. Know the spec and install for example a 150 baht like you say zigbee or wifi outlet of 16 amps. That will cover up to 3680 watt or around that range. That give you hot water metering. There are other ways to do it also of course. You can do that with an old airconditioner too. If it has alot of BTU and requires alot of amps. Go for maybe a 20 amp wifi or zigbee or even passive outlet without any app control. Its worth mentioning not all people like to check any app so these meters comes with screen directly on them also. Worth adding that this gives you no more cheaper bills, but it makes you maybe understand what the culprits are.
  2. Most aircons today are controlled by app on your phone. There there is often electricity usage stats. And if you really want to know. Install a 150 baht zigbee or WiFi electric plug that it connects to. Same for water heaters. They show live usage. Daily weekly or monthly or yearly. In the app.
  3. Best to not have a wallet.. Did not have one for 20 years.
  4. Thanks for the clarification.. I might mix my home countrys law about 183 days. They reckon i have moved if more than 6 months outcountry which they say is 183 days or more.
  5. 0 – 150,000 Exempt 150,000 – 300,000 5% 300,000 – 500,000 10% 500,000 – 750,000 15% 750,000 – 1,000,000 20% 1,000,000 – 2,000,000 25% 2,000,000 – 5,000,000 30% Over 5,000,000 35%
  6. Lost all the time, but the thing is one has to bounce back now and then.. Does not matter where you live.. Home country or new country. Will be the same anyway.
  7. First of all its 183 days.. not 180. Further.. The tax kicks in on around 300 000 baht. Because you have to factor in deductables on the transferred cash. If taxable income after deductions are under 200k . there is no to little tax.. But im not 100% sure on that number..., but it is in that region.. Also.. if your country has a tax deal with Thailand its mostly beneficial to tax to two countries as its deductible in home country again. The tax in Thailand is step based. 5%, 10% , 15% and 20 and finally 25% depening on amount.
  8. I hear you. And know this can happen. however.. in my local KFC i have had some luck with it.. Its been reasonably fresh.
  9. Write it in only english yourself and have two witnesses sign it with also video evidence of it happening. You can then spend 1000 baht about on have a lawyer notarizing it. If you want to translate it into thai that can be done on the day it is needed if needed. Notarizing it is not necessarry but it looks better.
  10. When i did marriage extension 20 years ago i counted the papers including copies.. 96 pages.. Its a hassle, but doable of course..
  11. KVIK kitchen is recommendable when they do their 50% sales now and then.
  12. Yes.. True.. But my point was only that there is no rule against getting the driving license on a normal visa exemption stamp for example.. The requirements are still like you say certificate of residence, health certificate. Then either take the road test with the theory first and all that. OR convert your existing license from home country and do a color and reaction test(the latter requirements are different from province to province). There is no need for a "dodgy"processing actually. I thought you needed some kind of visa to do this, but you do not. At least not in the past. I think its still the same.
  13. Drag her out of the car in the beginning with force.. Should not have been impossible.
