sometime

Ah, now I see.

I have an 800,000 baht account here in Thailand for my retirement visa that is entirely in my name. My husband has access to it by virtue of it being listed in our Thai will -- that's safest way to insure that the spouse has access to the funds.

As for notifying anyone about the account number, etc -- it's no one's business. That account isn't used for any other purpose, like paying bills or collecting pension payments. That's the role of our joint account! That 800,000 baht account has just one purpose, a very important purpose and I'm not going to jeopardize it by using it to pay bills, having it tied to an ATM card, etc. That way it will never "accidentally" fall below 800,000 baht during the 90 days before my visa extension appointment.

I'm heard it's not a good idea to have that much money in any account that can be accessed by an ATM card and besides, you can't get a good interest rate for an account that has ATM card access.

Hi

By some reports on TV I thought the account with the 800,000 had to be seen to be working, I am sure that some TV users have been sent out from immigration to make a withdrawal of a 1000 baht and produce the atm slip although they have a letter from the bank verifying the amount in the account.

I read it that they have 2 joint accounts.

Also reference to foreign banks is to change info for new accounts for transfers in I assume.

That is correct, thank you ubonjoe.

Hi

Regarding the tightening up on the joint account rule for retirement extension,

My wife and I (both European) both have a separate joint account each do you think the 800,000 plus in each account when we go for our separate retirement extension would be accepted?

Shutting down the accounts and opening one in each name, and notifying the overseas bank and pension companies of our new accounts is a bit of a hassle, but if it has to be so be it.

Thanks

Hi

I am having trouble viewing TV in its normal form using Firefox, Chrome is ok.

I have had the same problem on three occasions, turned out it was the sim card, they replaced the sim FOC.

Hi

Thanks

I had this problem,in the end the problem turned out to be the date and time on my pc had some how changed, and I hadn't noticed.

My wife received a photo showing flooding this morning on Sukumvit between South Pattaya Rd and Pattaya Klang.

I saw that photo in the 2011 flood

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, you just saved me about 800 baht, just collected 4 x 25 at 110 per bag, last time the price at the shop in Thepprasit was 320 per 25kg.

i have a saltwater chlorinator system, in the skimmer I have a sock so no debris enters the filter, so I only back wash at the most six times a year.The pool is 9.5 x 4.5

It looks like a Flying ant of ome sort, maybe of the genus Oecophylla.

The way I see it, all insects are beneficial.

Hi

I Googled your suggestion and you were spot on, Thank you.

Can Anyone identify this bug, I would just like to know if it is beneficial or not to the garden.

Thank you.

Hi

Ok here in Najomtien

This plant is a member of the family Acanthaceae, genus Ruellia, most probably Ruellia squarrosa. Originally it came from Mexico. Its Thai name is ต้อยติ่งเทศ

Erwin

Thank you

Hi

Hi

Can anyone help with the identification of this plant with purple flowers, the flowers only last for one day, Thanks

Do you mean short shorts ie showing your ass, or long shorts ie knee length?

I always wear shirt & long shorts with trainers & socks when out in town,flip flops are only for the garden

90 day report-long shorts & shirt, renew visa long trousers and shirt, I dont posess any teashirts.

Topic was closed. Because it was considered a troll post. Printing of receipts with bar code seems to be intermittent at most offices. Extra paperwork is not needed up here. Just TM47 form. Sent from my AirPad 8" TA803D using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

well here ( Jomtien) photocopies of required documents are as follows, this is not a troll

►90 Day Address Reporting: NEW REQUIREMENTS - Immigration Headquarters has instructed their Offices to require additional documentation to be submitted with the TM 47 - 90 day address report. We have received reports that these requirements are in effect – if you don't have the additional documents, you will be asked to provide them to complete the address reporting process – the documents are:

► Copy of passport Face Page

► Copy of latest Immigration Permission to Stay Stamp

► Copy of TM Departure Card (this is the white card that should be stapled in your passport)

► Copy of a document verifying your address (lease, utility bill, telephone bill, cable bill, etc.)

Ok I tried to reply to a post but for some reason the topic was locked.

The last reply was

Did my 90 day reporting a few months ago at Jomtien and they're all computerised. I was handed back all my documents with the suggestion that "you can use them for next time".

The copy stapled in my passport was computer generated and even had a barcode.

But we did our 90 day reporting this week at Jomtien, no barcode, no paperwork was handed back,

The service was fast, in and out in no time, cant uder stand why the bar code system was used for a few.

Hi

I read on this forum this week, Thai Immigration no longer transfer visas to a new passport, you have to re-apply, and Pay again.

Snow, frosts,freezing winds,no sun,get up in the dark for work, and arrive home in the dark,LOL

Thanks Sometime

I will start a brew of liquid fertiziler this weekend from my lawmower cuttings. Do you add molasses and what is its purpose? Can't find molasses around here. Would brown suger do the same purpose?

I wiil try again this year to ferment some seeds from the large organic tomatoes that can sometimes be bought in Lotus. Then put the seeds in the fridge and start planting around end of Sept-early Oct.

Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again

I have seen molasses in the gardening section of Homeworks 150 baht per Gallon, Thais buy it in 5 gallon drums so it must be easily got.

Just Googled this info

Any kind of sugary carbohydrate source will increase microbial growth in the compost pile, compost tea, or the topsoil.

However molasses products offer more nutrients, plus a wider range of beneficial bacterial, fungal, and algae growth.

The Best Type for Boosting Fertilizer

For organic gardeners, I recommend unsulfured cane blackstrap molasses as the best choice because it is the most nutritionally (trace elements) valuable of the various types of molasses.

molasses is also a chelating agent, which means that it can 'help' convert 'some' chemical nutrients into a form that’s 'more' easily available for organisms and plants to use.

Here’s a link to some good info http://www.doityourself.com/stry/using-molasses-to-boost-fertilizer

Happy growing

We had tried, here in the Somkhok area of Pathumthani for more than 10 years. Vatious soils, fertilizesr, seeds, etc. No luck at all. Three years running, on land in the Wang Muang area, we had very good tomatoes. And a great supply. Native soil, cow manure and straw around the base of the staked plants. Watered at the base at least once a week if not enough rain. 1" per week in early morning or late evening.

Seedlings in the ground in late September or early October. I hope to get a decent crop this year. We pick only vine ripe and give away what we cannot use. I think the picture is from 2009 or 2010. The tomato weighed 600 grams and was excellent eating.

2011 the flood ate my seedlings and 2012 a medical problem kept me from taking proper care. Still got suitable, eating tomatoes last year but nothing to brag about..

I have had problems with some imported seeds. The variety has not made any difference. Beefsteak, BetterBoy, etc. Normally large slicing tomatoes are my choice. Problems.... Not germinating. Not setting fruit. Stunted plants. I attribute it to possible strong Xray of the seeds when they are enroute. No matter in a ladies purse or a guys pockets. Same problems with pepper seeds. Best luck has been with seeds mailed in.

I had 7 packets of seeds mailed 3 months ago, still waiting
