I just asked the Mrs. if it's a pit viper and she said definitely no as well.

Her expertise comes from our visit to a snake temple in Penang where for a small fee our photo was taken with a large boa placed  around our shoulders  and a  small  Malaysian Pit Viper placed on her head like a tiara.

I can't imagine this  is correct.     Do you know of any link to corroborate it?

Hi all, I've been a lurker for a while

Just curious.

If you've been a lurker for a while and chose not to participate how is it you didn't learn from the countless threads addressing this very  type  of matter?

Currency prediction may be a  technical science but getting it right is still elusive.

If you have centipedes in the house, get the exterminators in.

 

https://www.thoughtco.com/difference-between-a-centipede-and-a-millipede-1968358

 

 

Centipedes bite, millipedes are generally harmless.

 

We used to have a seasonal plague of millipedes, zillions of them would come into the house from the garden when the rain started. Since we have had guinea fowl and chickens I've seen hardly any. I've also seen two of our chooks fighting over a huge centipede.

 

Obviously not a lot of help for our OP with them in the bathroom but chooks really like to eat these things so if you have a problem and a reasonable size garden get some hens. There is of course the bonus of delicious eggs ????

 

 

I also dislike centipedes but find millipedes interesting.    Seeing  a millipede moving at full speed reminds me of a locomotive for some reason.

I've told friends that millipedes are dangerous to  dead plants as that is what they eat.  Otherwise, they are harmless.     

15 cm. seems to be the common length of them in Thailand.

This crazy Aussie fellow seems to get over his concern about the centipede.

Best to direct your question to an Immigration Officer at your immigration office.  Then you'll know 'their' policy.  

I agree but that'd really only tell you what the policy is for an individual officer at that moment in time depending on the weather outside and if he had a beef or not  with his wife before going to work that day.

Whimsical only scratches the surface when it comes to universal policy in Thailand and especially  that of immigration.

You could probably sue them and they would be fined for not paying SS but in the end you might get fired. But then you can sue them for again.

Suing the university?     They have "deep pockets" but good luck.

Please tell us what you didn't like about KL or Penang.

I personally can't imagine what's not to like.

Now I reduce their numbers by spraying a high pressure water blast onto the nest, breaking it apart and let the chickens feast.  This info is my actual knowledge on the subject and not some old croc of s**t Google search.

Well done for sure!

A positive natural  approach.    Who knows they may get tired of your efforts and decide to move on.     

Forget any ant killer.

Just hire this girl;

For those who have not yet seen it.    I don't think these guys sting but they may pinch so it feels like a sting.    I've brushed a lot of them off my legs while playing golf and accidentally standing near their colony in the rough.

Overall,  ants are incredibly beneficial to mankind.

I don't have many years behind me in Thailand like many here.

Been here since 2001 and there criteria for new visa's next year is absolutely beyond me.

They are expecting us to show 65,000bht coming from pension from your Country origin!!!

I actually do not know anyone receiving that much pension, in fact, I hardly netted that when working in UK.

Anyhow, hope all the farangs leave, like myself and leave's Thailand completely on its arse.

Good riddance to Thailand and I know for sure I won't even return for a short holiday in future.

Vietnam, Da Nang here I come - Marry a Vietnamese if you like and get 5 year visa.

They do actually want us there.

All the best Thailand - please sink.

A shade bitter?

Be ready for not coming here much pretty soon. You can even feel it when going out and about. Something different is in the air. The way some Thais look at you or speak to you. Something has CHANGED.

Oh dear..    ????

Just make sure you do not hand over any money until your visa is approved, and even then, double check.

Sometimes applications for a particular thing state no refunds allowed upon denial of application.

Harsh for sure.

They are doing a very good job of driving foreigners out of the country. When I visit Thailand, on my return home I usually book a room at the airport the night before flying, do I need to report that to immigration?

 

if the answer is yes I’ll give Thailand a miss in the future.

That's really taking it to the logical extreme isn't it?
