Applied for my Non-immigrant O based on marriage yesterday. Turned in 2 copies of everything when I sat down. Went pretty well, except the letter from Bangkok Bank that I got first thing in the morning was not the right letter. Had to go back to the bank and get a different letter. Back to Immigrati...

I'm recently retired, and I have 18 science textbooks I'd like to donate to a needy school. These are mostly upper and a few lower secondary level, many are Cambridge or Oxford Press. They are hardly used, have been in storage, and are in excellent shape. You'ld have to pick them up, I'm on Soi Nong...

niceguy...: Sent a private message.

I remember, I don't run into many people from Wisconsin! If you haven't seen the website, here's a link:

I'm now in Udon, but I'll be returning to Laos soon. My wife can show it to you anytime.

It's actually a longhorn beetle (not a bug), called the Mango-tree Longicorn Borer.

They are water boatmen, an aquatic insect, a true bug in the family Corixidae.

I renewed my US passport by mail earlier this year, just followed the directions on the website. Mailed my passport and a return envelope to the office in Bangkok. I had my new passport in hand in two weeks, no problems.

The total property is 17 rai. These are rough estimates, based on Google satellite photos... I haven't actually measured these features: The land currently under cultivation (rice) is 6 rai. The lake occupies 3 rai . Two ponds occupy 2 rai. The remaining land is occupied by the garage, house, patio,...

To answer your question, I recently bought a few at a small computer repair\cell phone shop on Soi Nongbua, it's two doors down (south) of the 7-11, same side of the street.

(I tried all the electronics shops at Central, none carried them.)

Unfortunately a Lao visa on entry would still be required, I don't know about Cambodia.
As I understand it, a reentry permit is not required, but I'm in the process of trying to verify that.

Thanks. I am admitted to stay for 3 months (no more 90 day checkins). Within 3 months I have to do a border run, when I return I'll get another 90 days before I have to do another one. The visa is good for one year.

Fortunately a border run to Nong Khai is no big deal.

I just returned from Savannakhet, got my Non-Immigrant O based on Marriage. Almost everything went according to plan, I just followed the instructions that have been given here in the past, thanks to everyone for those! . One minor hitch, however, you might want to take note of: Turned in my visa ap...

I was there two days ago, they used the "Sight Bill" rate from this Bank of Thailand website: https://www.bot.or.th/english/_layouts/application/exchangerate/exchangerate.aspx They even gave me a printout (in Thai) of these rates. Currently 31.7558 for US$. This was very different from my XE calcula...

Using the same formula, my recent total cholesterol calculations are way off too. My last test results (2017) are 17 points too low, according to the formula. The test results prior to that are 14 points too low. I don't have an answer...

Don't know the answer to #1, but I've always only had one witness, and that works.

Lots of posts here, but does anyone have any experience with recent cataract surgery here in Udon (also prices)? I was at the opthamology clinic at AEK yesterday, met with Dr. Chantamoon. She seemed very professional and competent, and spoke good English.

Did you think like as alternative to rent the property on very long term ? As I can see there is still a lot to do for living there so a renting can be a posibility to have some more money for investing in property . Just now I am in Sweden and had not planed to come to Thailand so very soon. I int...

Hi Howard,

I will see what I can do...........

Is long from Udon where the farm is located ?

Victor

It's 51 km. from the Ring Road and Posri Road intersection (at Big C.).

Victor: It is still available, if you have Thai family here you could have them arrange to see it with my wife if they don't speak English (she's Thai).
