I have looked at alarm systems here and was not very impressed . What I found was a decent system that would cover a normal size house would be around 30 to 40 thousand baht ..... But Im still looking ....

At least they got a single entry.

They could get about 5 months out of the visa by getting a 60 day extension to visit their wife. During that time they could try and put 400K in the bank or if they can meet the income requirement of 40K baht and then apply for an extension of stay.

Or make a trip to Savannakhet for their multiple entries with no financial proof needed at the moment.

As a farang married to a farang I have to show either 800,000 in the bank or a monthly pension of 65,000 per month I never understand why it is much less if you are married to a Thai all those who I know married to Thai's moan that there wives cost them a fortune as they are very spendthrift that is not the case with my wife I would love to know who came up with such an idea that farang wives must cost more than a Thai wife !!!!!!!!

Welcome to Thailand

A morning aftermath from a previous year.

Wow I dont feel so bad now ... I ve got them inside theres no way to stop the little buggers

I d personally like to see a Hardies !!! Or Wendys best frosties ever ...

To my knowledge there is no requirement to be married to a Thai in order to get the yellow book. Recently in Chiang Rai I saw afarang man and his farang wife get issued their yellow books.

This is true you just have to be a renter and in the country legally

Why not get a yellow book? Makes life a lot easier.

Interesting you should say that. My wife and I went to the Hang Dong Amphur office last Friday and enquired re the obtaining of the "Yellow book". The head guy,after making us wait for a while while he read the paper, made it abundantly clear he would make us jump over many hurdles including having to cajole the head man at our village,plus another person to accompany us and act as a witness. We have lived, as a married couple, at our address for 5 years and we own the house.He continually asked "why you want? " My wife spent several minutes explaining why and he just blanked us.I know it was relativly easy a while ago but I'm not the only one that has had this recent experience at Hang Dong.Maybe its an easier process at other offices.

We just finished one a few months ago at Hang Dong and yes had to jump through all those hoops . Its best to deal with the girl at the counter then she will send you to him once you have your witnesses one leader of the village and another any government employee ... Once thats done you come back in about two weeks to get your book and sign it ..... I gave both my witness's 500 baht . I bought some fruit for the girl behind the counter she was very nice to us ......

I laid about 500 sqm of grass its the finer bladed grass . 10 cm of soil underneath some squares took well and grow tall others are not I have a few brown patches as well . I watered it everyday for about three weeks now Im down to about every three days . Its been down now for three months and will get its first cut tommorow . What can I do with the patches that are not growing well I can see they have not died they are very green but there not taking off like some of the others . What fertilizer can I use . Also do they make a weed and feed like we use to have back home . I do have an abundance of crab grass , I have picked most of it but comes back as fast as I pull it up ... Any help I am in CM ...

I just laid 500 sm of the finer bladed grass I paid 25 baht per meter delivered ... Lots of water first three weeks some patches of brown but seems to be doing pretty well .... There are a couple of places on the road to Night Safari that will deliver and also lay it for you ....

Did my 90 day report on the 17th . Took about 2 hours ... Place was a mad house but none the less when you go you really dont know what to expect . I always plan to spend the entire day ...

The only way I have found to keep my weight in check is to ride my bike everyday 40k . If I stop riding it comes right back..... Usually takes me a couple of months to get it back to where it should be ....

2010 I brought a dog in from the USA took her as carry on had no issues clearing aggriculture paid 1000 baht to customs and got a receipt . No big deal easy and fast ....

If you live near Hang Dong Hospital its probably a bar thats opened in the village just south of the hospital . I hear it sometimes at night but usually for just short amounts of time .

Dukes hands down !!!!

why don't one if you unfortunates start a new topic where you can post the pictures of the the women who have r[pped you off.

or just stick to the topic's photos.

Here's the onion farmer and his half a million dollars fiancee during happier times.

No doubt he was scammed and he d better get his eyes checked at the same time. Moral to live by if you play the game in Thailand ... Never invest what you are not willing to loose......

My guess is there is alot more money where that came from ...Seen the price of onions from Auz ???????

Still feel sorry for the broken hearted Lad ...

Thewin Ketwong. His email is [email protected]. Was recomended to me by a friend that used him for his will . I personally have not used him but have emailed him a couple times and he has always responded .

According to what I read you have to have a permit even for an air gun . Thats even for a Thai person ......

There is a shop just up From Thape Gate that sells the Snuz . Its just past Mad Dogs bar you ll see a new paper rack by the sidewalk I but it there all the time . Its nothing like whats your asking for but all you can get here .... Expensive too 250 baht per can

Yup same one in the picture Go past Mad Dogs cross Soi2 and its on the left .. Real nice people too

Sounds like a runaway car ........ Toyotas had that problem

Just glad no one hurt

What was his Thaivisa handle?

Dumbazz or Stupiddumbazz one or the other or both dont care where he was from ....

18-32 worked in a salvage yard 12 hours a day 6 days a week nasty work and dirty and little pay .

32-55 a street cop still nasty work little pay but a bit cleaner !

Unless you are doing it for reasons of work or the money requirements there is no advantage to a visa based on marrage and it is far more a pain in the AZZ . A marrage visa locks you in . If you divorce or wife dies you have to leave the country or revert back to a retirement visa .... Unless Im missing something its much better on a retirement visa if not working...

Try putting it in a sealed plastic bag . Place it in the freezer for a few days then take it out and try it . This has worked for me before on dead drives . If it come back up get your data back as quickly as possible

I just got one in Hang Dong needed the blue book copy of our marrage certiicate pass port copies one photo and two government employees for witnesses . Seems now all that goes to Bangkok and sent back to the district . Two weeks later they called went in head guy signed it and I was done. Oh needed a certificate of residence from Thai immigration as well .....
