  1. PEA smartplus app. Usage history, bills, payment process, notification of planned outages, report problem, and many more features in one very handy app.
  2. It won’t help you now, but some very promising research could result in a cure against excess mucus in a few years. https://stanmed.stanford.edu/neurotransmission-connection-mucus-hypersecretion/
  3. The import licenses you refer to are for the seeds. The plant and buds which are sold as exotics are from imported seeds but grown indoors in Thailand. Tourists are willing to pay more if they think it’s foreign. I’m not saying illegal imports of buds isn’t happening but at current market rates it really doesn’t make any financial sense to ship from abroad and pay the 40k baht per kilo under the table fee at customs to look the other way.
  4. You could try this. Put the parts and regular super glue in the fridge, move to an open freezer (quickly so the parts can’t condensate), and do your glueing in there. It’ll make the curing go considerably slower. After being done move them back to the closed fridge quickly and let it cure in there slowly.
  5. Only allowed under specific conditions, capped, and with the employees express prior consent. Get it wrong as employer and face stiff penalties; https://www.tilleke.com/insights/pay-or-not-pay-deduction-wages-under-labor-protection-act/
  6. No. Immigration doesn’t deal with your employment status.
  7. Immigration may require you to stay one or more days in Malaysia before heading back in. Make sure you write a dismissal letter for your employment and report yourself at social security to sign out. If you have a pink ID you can then opt to continue your health insurance for a pittance should you wish to remain longer in Thailand than 30 days. You can also request a refund of some of the social premiums you paid over the years under certain conditions. Lastly in case you stay longer, you can apply for unemployment benefits at the labor department when handing in your work permit there and say you are fired. This is 70% of 15k max, and you’ll have to report monthly to get it. I don’t know if that’s possible on Tao and if you have to travel to Samui for this the hassle is not worth it.
  8. 200 is okay. That gives a result which is 99% of the time within plus or minus 10% of the actual value. To lower the margin of error to +-5% the sample group would have to be closer to 400.
  9. Your calculation is correct. But you’ll have a 90k deductible first, so your taxable income would be 910k. You can also deduct social security contributions (12x750) and medical expenses. Then you can reduce your taxable income further by putting money aside in a mutual or provident fund, and there are deductions for other things like taking care of kids and parents.
  10. 1 unit = 1 KWh
  11. Hi. Is it possible to get a 60 day extension to stay for being married to a Thai when entered visa exempt? If yes, is it also still possible to get the regular 30 day extension before or after the 60 day extension? Thanks.
  12. Not at all airports will immigration process re entry permits. Koh Samui is one such example.
  13. I have similar positive experiences at the Phatthalung office. The most recent time I was there a few weeks ago, I signed their logbook and the person who signed in before me did so 4 days prior. They’re still happy to see a foreigner ????
  14. Are you sure they were bats? I have seen the occasional bat on Samui, but swiftlets are far more common. Empty buildings get repurposed for swiflets to make nests in, and can house hundreds. Good business!
  15. I assume it’s the building at the north end of Chaweng? After almost being finished it was deemed too high. Max 3 floors allowed. All played out around 15 or so years ago.
  16. Sure. It’s not smart to poke a snarling dog when it’s inside it’s own territory and trying to protect the place. BUT when that snarling dog comes into my garden and thinks it’s its territory now as well, I will first poke, then kick, and whatever stronger actions I can think of to convince it to leave. If it is too dumb or stubborn to get the message then it will have to be put down, removing the threat altogether.
