Re: AIr COnditioning

We are about to change the A/C in master bedroom. While it still works it is undersized and each summer seems to struggle a bit more to keep the room cool (or we struggle a bit more to feel cool as we get another year older!) Anyway will probably start with Home Pro and look at Samsung as we have a...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

It would appear following an Engineering report that they knew how unsafe that bridge was IF the supports were damaged. Sadly ZERO preventative measures were in place to ensure the pier bases were protected.seems it was an accident waiting to happen and it has, now the sloping shoulders and the fin...

Re: Do you smoke marijuana?

In my younger years I was a heavy pot smoker and user of other much stronger drugs, but in August of 1988 the Lord Jesus rescued me and saved me from my addictions. In these latter years of chronic body pain and inability to sleep well at nights, I am tempted to experiment with the pot to relieve th...

Re: Obtaining A Thai Birth Certificate For My Significant Other Of 30 years.

J, you say you have the lady's original Thai birth certificate, so you could probably send it to the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok, then they can translate it to English and authenticate it with a stamp from the Ministry which is acceptable to the US Government. They have offered this ...

Re: TAX on Income from Abroad

Nearly two weeks ago I appeared at the Thai Revenue Department to file my Thai Tax Return for 2023 in order to arrange the yearly refund of my Bangkok Bank interest withholdings. In and out in 15 minutes with no mention of any other income from local or foreign sources. Easy peasy!!!!

Re: car tires

My "go to" place for tires and repairs like this would be B-Quick on the eastern leg of the Ring Road just to the north of Home Pro. They also just opened up a new location on Nittayo Road just west of the Nong Bua traffic light headed towards McDonalds in UD Town.

I keep a week's supply of my daily meds in a plastic container sitting beside my desktop computer.

Re: NEW TM 7 Form

I really don't understand why they are "splitting hairs" with the TM7 that we present to them. They typically transfer the data that we give them to their own online TM7 and print it out for us to sign with the photograph attached which they snap in their office. Makes no sense that they make a big ...

Re: NEW TM 7 Form

A few years ago I used the pre-filled TM7 off the Immigration website, and it was rejected. Then I was given a terrible copy of that form from the Udon office that they wanted me to use. I will attach that here and let the OP have his wife/gf compare with the one he recently was told to use.

Re: Essentially Monthly Income Credit Issue + rant

The only logical explanation for Immigration Officers being so inflexible on matters that we deem so insignificant is simply to position themselves to suggest that a "tea money" contribution can make all the problems go away. Their priority in processing any transaction is to look for a way to "trip...

can anyone confirm there is an embroidery shop at Big C Nong Bua
There is one beside the down escalator and beside Amazon Coffee shop on the ground floor.

There is also one or more in the Bo Bay Shopping Complex beside Global House on the Ring Road.

Re: Stroke -Doctor recommendations

Could start with the public hospital at Nong Prajak - at least they will not cost an arm and a leg. Start with the international office at the top of the escalator at the main entrance. Call Nurse Noonid at 0945156404. She is in charge of the International Office at Udon Thani Hospital which is the...
