Kamala Harris Sees Significant Polling Surge During Democratic National Convention
The issues would be a direct line to a win for Trump. Having an ultra left wing tag team will prove devastating to the American way of life. -

Whole House Water Filtration .. Anyone w/ Experience/Advice?
What a great house build website. Making my way through it after just coming across it now. It came up after I done a search for water system. I came across a really in depth water installation but I cant remember if it was on here or on another page. I think it might have been a German guy that has a water installation company here in Thailand who carried out for the homeowner. Have you seen the one im talking about? How much do you think the prices have risen to do a build similar to what you completed on your website with all the inflation since then? You got it done just in time. Where did you initial plans and ambitions come from for the build? -

To DTV or not to DTV - that is the question.
Health insurance is not required for either. I stay based on annual extensions based on retirement and maintain 800k+ baht in a bank account. Have to annually extend (1900 baht), buy a re-entry permit (1000 baht for 1, 3,800 baht for multiple-entry), and report address every period of time I'm here for 90 consecutive days. I don't consider the requirements oppressive at all....and primarily consider the 800k baht requirement as a safety measure (in case needed for a medical or other emergency). I don't know much about the new DTV visa but understand it's good for 5 years, you can only stay here a maximum of 180 days per entry (you can extend the 180-day period for another 180 days, once per year for an extension fee of unknown amount....maybe 1,900 baht?) and is multi-entry (which I presumes you don't have to pay for re-entry permits). Cost is 10,000 baht up front. For those who really aren't put out to keep 800k baht in a bank account here, an extension based on retirement (if you're at least 50 years old) seems to be fine. If one is under 50, I'd think the DTV might be the best way to stay here for most of (or all?) of every year. -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
If the Thai-Lao crossings continue to allow 2 visa exempt land border crossings per year then that would be the one remaining advantage. Flight to Kuala Lumpur is probably cheaper and definitely faster but airport immigration is crap shoot whereas land crossing from Laos was viewed as "safe" thing to keep in back pocket if you needed it. I guess the thing to keep a close eye on is if that is changing with transition to 60 days visa exempt stamp. Will land crossings become more like airports in terms of scrutiny? -

Kennedy Family Condemns RFK Jr.'s Trump Endorsement as a Betrayal of Core Values
I actually did a search on the internet for who in the Kennedy family supported RFK and surprisingly there were no results. Plenty of results condemning him but none in his favour. And I did that before I posted. Now you OTH have nothing and no response. You are correct that you are not my teacher, neither are you a school. You are the one who claimed it. Why don't you do some research and prove it? -

Curved roof tiles vs flat
The first house we owned had a flat tile roof. It leaked in a half dozen places and it was a nightmare trying to, first, figure out where the leaks actually were, and then try to stop the leaks. It wasn't just our house. The whole project had the same kind of flat tile roofs and some others also had leaks. While we lived there, several people we knew had their entire roofs replaced, with new flat tiles to keep the same look of the project. Some of these homes still leaked--which was so frustrating for the owners after spending the money for a new roof. Our current house and the new one we are building in a different housing estate have curved tile roofs and, so far, no leaks. Fingers crossed. We have an insulated metal roof on our long terrace roof. My spouse thought it might be noisy when it rains but it isn't. I think the insulation helps, plus it is also finished with a regular drywall ceiling.
