Re: Married couple visa financial requirements

10 years ago my wife and I renewed our Non-OA visa’s using a joint account, but it had to have a balance of at least 1.6 million baht (800,000 for each person). We only did that once, then we learned of the Embassy income affidavit method and switched to that for 3 years until that option went away....

Re: Fitting a Bum spray gun in the UK.

I did this years ago when I lived in Alaska. As others have mentioned, the cold water doomed the experiment. I considered putting in a small tank to allow the water to warm to room temperature but space was a limiting factor and I never installed it.

Re: Fresh seafood in local restaurants?

There are seafood restaurants down near the Hilton, with good views, that we enjoy here in Hua Hin. There are also places in Pak Nam Pran (OX comes to mind) that I’ve always wanted to try but haven’t yet.

Re: Dentist recommendation

I went to the dentists at Bangkok Hospital for years and was extremely happy with this choice. Last year I went to Nana for a chipped tooth, they were recommended as providing quality service and being less expensive than Bangkok Hospital. I was not disappointed but it’s difficult to judge the relat...

Re: How often to empty sewage tank

If the floor seals were not working properly, most likely you would be experiencing very unpleasant odors building up in the bathroom. I installed a couple new fancy Korat toilets last year, had some seal issues but resolved them successfully. The installation instructions called for sealing the ped...

Re: Thai Driving License renewal 2019-22

An example of how farcical the medical certificate is: Finally got around to getting a medical certificate. Popped into a clinic. The receptionist took my passport and filled in a form using info in my passport. Then "sign her" - "100 baht". Never saw a doc or was asked any ques...

I just watched the 9th and 10th planes flying low over Wat Khao Yai area, looks to me like they are C-17 aircraft, no visible markings. They come by in pairs, each pair a few minutes behind the previous pair.

Re: Coin counting machine

Last year I took a large bag of change to Bangkok Bank in Bluport, expecting them to pour them into a machine. Instead, the teller called the security guard / greeter over and the two of them then counted them by hand, before depositing them to my account. All 25 and 50 satang coins were returned to...
