Laminate/Vinyl flooring over wood floor
That maybe what you think, however I would be extremely surprised if you can find anything closer than Bangkok, I have looked in an area about 150 Km north and south of Khon Kaen and they are the only company that has that material. If you know exactly what to look for it is possible that if you go to all the suppliers in the Chang Mai area you might find a supplier. However there are so many variables in the manufacturing process of plywood, all of them will effect the price and you can specify materials that will change the cost per 20mm sheet between about 400 per sheet to upwards of 150,000 and you will probably need to buy a quality that will make your eyes water A standard sheet is 1220mm x 2440mm Again a nice idea, unfortunately it won’t work. The only thing that will prevent formaldehyde exposure is to not use products that contain it in the construction -

1-year extension based on your original Non Imm O Visa WITHOUT having a Thai bank-account
Google is your friend. Fees, charges and exchange rates for using your Revolut card abroad Now, how much will it cost you to use your Revolut card abroad? Here are the key costs and charges you need to know about: Transaction Fee Currency exchange - Monday to Friday Free⁵ Currency exchange - weekends 1%⁵ ATM withdrawals up to limit (£200 to £2,000 a month, depending on plan) 2%⁶ Spending more than your plan’s exchange limit a month in foreign currency 1% for Standard plans; 0.5% for Plus plans; Free for Premium or Metal plans⁵ One of the most important charges to pay attention to from the above is the 1% fee for currency exchange at weekends. Revolut doesn’t charge fees for spending or withdrawing in a foreign currency during the week, but this fee could make it more expensive to spend at weekends. Which unfortunately, is when many people like to take mini breaks to foreign cities. Revolut exchange rates Revolut uses their own Revolut exchange rate which they set themselves.⁷ It can differ from the mid-market exchange rate, also known as interbank rate, which can be considered as the most up-to-date rate you can get, but are only used by a handful of money services providers, including Wise. If the exchange rate used isn’t the mid-market rate or an interbank rate, you may find that it includes a margin or a mark-up to the mid-market rate. This is how some banks and service providers make a profit, but it means you essentially lose money on the transaction. International spending and cash withdrawal limits with Revolut To help you choose a Revolut plan and watch out for extra fees when spending abroad, here are the main limits you need to know about:⁶ Plans ATM withdrawal limit Foreign currency spending limit Standard - free £200/mo or 5 withdrawals £1,000/mo Plus - £3.99/mo £200/mo or 5 withdrawals £3,000mo Premium - £7.99/mo £400/mo Unlimited Metal - £14.99/mo £800/mo Unlimited Ultra - $45/mo £2,000/mo Unlimited -

Prawit Wongsuwan's Overseas Trips Under Scrutiny
Mr. Prompong Nopparit, former spokesman for the Pheu Thai party, is examining whether Palang Pracharath leader Prawit Wongsuwan's overseas trips this year violated any official regulations. Concerns arose after it was discovered that Prawit missed 84 out of 95 House sessions, citing other commitments. Prompong visited the Immigration Bureau to obtain details about Prawit's foreign trips in March, June, and July-August, totaling eight days. He seeks to verify if the expenses for these trips adhered to government rules and if they were used as an excuse to avoid attending House sessions. This investigation follows a tip-off suggesting these trips might breach National Anti-Corruption Commission guidelines. Prompong insists his actions aren't meant to discredit Prawit or gain political advantage but are aimed at serving the public interest. He plans to continue his inquiry until Prawit takes responsibility, either by attending House sessions or resigning as a party-listed MP. Palang Pracharath is now part of the opposition, having fallen out with Pheu Thai. The influential Pheu Thai figure Thaksin Shinawatra has accused "the man from a forest home" - a veiled reference to Prawit - of orchestrating a surprise impeachment move by 40 senators loyal to Prawit against former prime minister Srettha Thavisin, deposed by the Constitutional Court on August 14, reported Thai Newsroom. The impeached former prime minister had previously appointed Pichit Chuenban, a former convict and ex-lawyer for Thaksin, as a minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office earlier this year. Although Pichit resigned under pressure from Thaksin, the court deemed Srettha's appointment of Pichit as an irreversible fait accompli. Prompong's efforts put the spotlight back on Prawit, demanding accountability and transparency from political leaders regarding their obligations and potential misuse of privileges.

Keir Starmer's Leadership Faces Challenges as Patience Wears Thin
Yes it is wishful thinking on an epic scale. You can 'never say never' but unless there is a "Starmer eats babies' story, the chances that Starmer will be not be PM this time next year, let alone next week as someone suggested, are virtually nil. -

Proposal Needed for Legal Revisions to Foreign Land Leases
Finance Permanent Secretary Lavaron Sangsnit might be interested to know, what happens in other places. In Thailand they chicken around with leases, no property to non-Thais and all the rannygazoo, being afraid that those alien might roll up property, pack it into a suitcase and disappear into the dark of the night. All the while, Tos Chirathivat, CEO of the mighty Central Group, bought yet another supermarket chain in Switzerland, Globus, with a huge plot of land on Switzerland's most expensive road, the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. The deal benefits of the very strong Thai Baht and the transaction is valued at something between 37 and 40 billion (not million) Thai Baht; Central became the sole owner of this prime property, no strings attached. Maybe Thailand's economy in the real estate sector might inch out of its medieval mindset and modernise its property laws and ownership concepts to the 21st century of a globalized world 😉
