I owned this lovely Triumph Stag many years ago. 

 

Sadly it regularly overheated, common problem with the Stag and the Aussie summers. 

 

It was really nice to drive with the roof off, listening to the rumble of the engine......sports exhaust system. 

 

The convertible V8 was a real head turner. 

 

Just like mine, also blown head

I was due to report my 90 days stay 6th May and I tried for the first time the online system yesterday. Today I received an email saying that it has been approved, but when I check the receipt it says This is not an extension of stay please notify your address again on 15 May 2022. How is it possible? It must be a mistake. It happened this to anyone here?

It is not an extension of stay you do that every year, this is just the 90 day report

How long is a residence certificate valid for?

Thanks

Hopea odorata (Takhian)

Our neighbor has several in his yard that border ours.  Huge trees.  I like to watch the helicopter seeds flutter down

Thanks

This makes a change from my usual plant ID.

During this mornings very welcome rain (Najomtien) this seed came into the garden on the wind.

Any ideas Thanks

The coffee mug is just a reference on size

I went for my annual retirement extension today and queued from 2 till 3 before getting in the building where I was told "come back tomorrow". I know the guy next to me was told the same and I guess others were too. They appear to be short staffed, maybe to the point of being overwhelmed.

Always the same after a holiday

Came across this Online radio station, what a breath of fresh air and not full of adds https://ukradiolive.com/radio-caroline

Listen online to the internet radio of Radio Caroline, which launched in 1964 as a pirate radio station of Essex, and was Europe's first album station. Today the station operates as a non-profit organization, with traditional AM availablity across the UK. Radio Caroline has a huge music repertoire since its playlist expands from the years the radio itself started - the 60s - to today, and airs mostly rock and alternative genres in the unique line-up. The radio has a sister station "Flashback" which focuses especially on the 60s' and 70s' pop singles. Radio Caroline begins the weekdays from 7am to 9am with Tony Paul's breakfast show.

Radio Caroline 's slogan: "Quality Album Channel"

Quick update from this morning: Arrived 07:30 to find 22 people already in line. Waited one hour and then they started letting people in. I was first in line for retirement extension (800K in FD acc.), back out around 08:40. Totally painless, spent the hour waiting chatting with some nice people (hello there guys!). I was given the 3 months "show us your money"-form, and told come back Friday after lunch to pick up passport. So now 2+ days. But as we can see, no need to queue for that (nor for showing the money), and I can do 90-day outside afterwards, so good to go for another year.

If you arrived at 7:30 when did you get your letter from the bank?, last year they refused us because we got the letter the day before. sorry just noticed you got it the day before

When it comes to entering Nationality on application there used to be a British option. Now I only see

 

Which should I use?

If you start to type BRITISH it will give you another option

Full marks to Immigration, registered on the 1st applied on the 2nd & got the new 90 day email on the 4th

Just got my new 12 months TruemoveH sim from Lazada, but just found out unlike the last sim this one it doesn't include phone calls to all networks.

When I try to make a phone call the voice says top up before make call.

Seeing as I very rarely make phone calls what are my options, IE what is the  life of say a 100baht top up 3months six months etc ?

Thanks

My agent charges 8,000 for a Non-IMM O extension (assuming you meet the financial requirements, 12,500 if you don’t),  200 for a 90 day report & 1,700/4,500 for a single/multi re-entry permit.

 

 

 

 

I thought for the O extension you had to go in person to immigration?

This large queue was unusual. First time I've ever seen it.

We did our 90 day two weeks ago the place was almost empty just one chap in front doing his 90 day.

It took longer to get the ticket than the 90 day slip due to the clueless who go there without the paperwork all ready filled in.

It's always busy on a Monday after a holiday but still surprising.

Friday was a holiday

Something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/SANNCE-8X1080P-Outdoor-Waterproof-Security/dp/B08RNM36JD/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=samsung+security+camera+system&qid=1639304547&sr=8-14

I got mine from Amazon UK, no import duty.

Went for a wired easy to install system more fail safe than WiFi

Still working well after 5 years

Thanks for the info, usually I end up bringing a weed home

On the morning doggie walk noticed three plants growing along the side of the tapioca, now in pots in the garden.

Any idea please

This isn't intended to be rude...........but I used to be a member of the "Dull Mens Club" on FB......this would get a lot of likes.

Can I take it that you are not a DIY sort of person, not intended to be rude more of a Do sweet FA person????

Time to repack the grease in my bush cutter & hedge cutter gearbox.

The small grease tubes made for the job contain very little, & ½ kg tub of grease is only 70 baht

So I came up with this idea, a cut down sealant tube, “cut down to make the plunger easy to push out with a stick, plus it can be reused.

The nozzle screws nicely into the gearbox.   

MAD TV but its only 567  5min clips

I like gardening in Thailand I can do it all the year round, back in the UK lucky if I could get 3 months OK I spend money on sunscreen LOL

Plus we 5 dogs we would hate to be parted from all part of the family
