Saw the first episode of a new series called Quarry - pretty intense - worth a look see.
Vice principals is halarious. If you like Eastbound and Down its more of the same.

They should do it without a problem but you will need a local address to put on the TM7 application form.
One of our members that has a PE visa and has done one year extensions there twice,
Many thanks UJ much appreciated

I have one of the original TE life memberships wich still uses the 'SE' visa rather than the 'PE' visa so I have to extend every 3 months. I normally do this at Changwattana but I'll be in Hua when my next extension renewal is due so does anyone know if I can do it there without any grief.

I don't know your kids have enough " thai heritage" to apply for citizenship or how easy it would be but if they did you could get a visa as the supporting parent. You wouldn't be able to work though unless you found a job that provided a work permit.

I use a Fitbit and it's been life changing for me. Not because it's a kickass training aid, because it's not, but because it motivates me to meet a daily goal. When I exceed the goal I feel I've accomplished something and when I don't I genuinely feel I've let myself down.
If your a serious athlete then anything you put on your wrist probably isn't the perfect training aid but if you're like me with a propensity to be a couch potato then the Fitbit will motivate you and make exercising a goal rather than a chore.

Sorry to resurrect a long dead thread but can anyone recommend where to get the child's birth certificate translated from Thai to English and whether you have to get this certified by the ministry of foreign affairs in Chang wattans?

Am on an English detective binge at the moment.
Watching, Midsomer Murders, Father Brown and Grantchester.
Not really a classic English detective series but "Stan Lees Lucky Man" is some chewing gum for your brain.

I'll give another plug for "the night manager" miniseries. First 2 episodes were great. It's a typical BBC series that slowly draws you in and before you know it you're Counting the days till the next episode.
Also season 2 of better call Saul is shaping up quite nicely. Great acting.

Thanks Steve,
So an Add-on is a collection of specific content, a build is a collection of Add-ons and a Repo is a collection of builds...that makes things a little clearer.
I suggest you read Steve's post one more time, slowly this time, maybe then you can comprehend what he wrote because he didn't wrote what you just say.
To be honest, if you don't know what you're doing, as you say in your other post, Kodi isn't for you.
I would disagree with your last statement. Using Kodi does require some basic inteigence but it can be as simple as you want or as complex as you want. It's like using a program like Microsoft excel it takes a little bit of practice to build a basic spreadsheet though it's not rocket science, but if you want to start building macros and linking tables it can get complicated fast.

A build is a your basic Kodi software programmed by a third party by which they do all the work of downloading the repos that contain all the add-ons and then installing a bunch of those add ons to give you a fully loaded version of Kodi.
Any build will contain what the creator of that build "thinks" a fully loaded version of Kodi is. Most 3rd party builders generally throw in the kitchen sink in terms of add ons as they try to make something for everyone. That makes some builds large and bloated. Generally you will find that you end up using 3 or 4 addons for most of your viewing and 100's of addons that the builder put in the system are just left there.
Most builds have the same set of addons included but I use builds because good builds set up your home screens set up your Libiary and add artwork and link every thing into your screensaver. They set up services like subtitles etc etc . Even great builds may require some tweaking, I turn automatic play feature off, I adjust the audio output to be used through my AV receiver and delete a few shortcuts from the main home screen that I don't use.
Finally pretty much all builds are FREE, people create them because they love doing it. Some builders are chasing Kodi community fame, some builders are obsessed with creating the perfect system, some want to provide a system so you can get rid of the cable company etc etc

Yes I would love to see Thailand step up and take in 200,000 refugees from Syria and Iraq. Make them citizens, give them full rights , let them vote etc etc
-
One thing I would mention is that some of these builds have a lot if bloat ware in them. It doesn't bother me as my box is a Intel NUC with Intel i5 processor 16 mb of ram and a 250gb ssid hard drive running windiws 10 so it doesn't blink at anything Kodi can throw at it. I did try to set up Andy's build on a 3 or 4 year old android MX box and the performance wasn't that great.

I use Andy's build and just make some minor changes to the start up page like deleting the karaoke, news and other shortcuts I don't like. I also turn off auto play on genius and the one channel.
The builder of Andy's build runs a website called Kodimaster.com ( the repo and wizard for all the builds is in http:/kodimaster.com/repo). He has a bunch of his own builds and also a bunch of 3rd party builds. I stick with Andy's build as I think it's his flagship so it's always updated but some of the other builds are very good as well, but I personally can't be bothered going through the hassle of installing and testing them as Andy's build has everything I use and it dos the job for me.

I have, I loved the central areas particularly Da Nang and Hoi An, oceans, extremely fresh seafood, good beer for ~8 baht/glass, cheap, and the people are friendly. I wouldn't mind HCMC but it is very crowded and noisy. I am sure the quality of life will be higher than in Thailand if the visa situation is easier.Couldn't you just leave your stuff here and go get a feel for the place first

Da Nang gets about 8 -10 weeks of good weather each year when you can actually enjoy the beaches. If you visit during that period then it's paradise but otherwise it's too wet, too cold or too humid. The weather really sucks.. The other thing that you need to be aware of if you are planning an extended stay not in a hotel is that Da Nang is controlled by the army and considered a communist cultural hotspot. Fun is not allowed. As a foreigner living there the people may be nice but anyone in authority will consider you a carrier of social evils there to pollute society.. You'll see lots of residential streets with blue signs accriss the entrance with Vietnamese writing which roughly translated is this street is protected against social evils by the fatherland front. It means that there will either be a resident or some old guy sitting in a chair watching what everybody in the street does and reporting it. ( it exists in HCMC to a lesser extent but is still there) you will be the center of attention that's for sure.
Finally Da Nang still has a huge dioxin ( agent orange) problem. They are still cleaning up areas just outside of the city and there are concerns that it has contaminated the water table. Googke it now or you may end up coming back to Thailand with two heads and 3 arms.

Vietnam is Thailand with the fun taken out. It's way more expensive to live an expat life and you have far less choices to boot. You'll have people in your face from the moment you walk out the door till you return at night and everybody you meet is going to have an angle on trying to get something out of you. If Thailand Is boring to you then I wouldn't worry too much about the long term visa situation in Vietnam as you won't be there long enough to need one.

I have to put another plug in for Real Rob the scripted "reality" show about Rob Sneiders life. It's halarious
-
I've just started watching Spotless a Series about a crime scene cleaner that gets caught up with UK and French gangsters. It's starting off decent.
-
I watched the first episode of Real Rob a scripted reality show of comedian Rob Schneider's life it was hilarious.

I need to apply for Aust citizenship by decent for my daughter as well. Does anyone have experience using a local lawyer to complete the application and arrange all the translations etc?

"Master of none" is a new comedy series staring the Indian guy from parks and recreation. I've only watched 2 episodes so far but it's pretty funny.

How long is the extension of stay granted and can you just extend at local immigration rather than leaving the country
-

Just started watching the new Netflix series Narcos - pretty good. You can get the entire first season on Kodi genisis.

I came across an interesting series when surfing the latest episodes list on genisis .
Series name is Glitch, it's an Australian series about a bunch of people from over the past 200 years rise from the grave in a small Victorian town. The local policeman discovers them and tried to keep them hidden.
I've watched several episodes and it definitely makes you curious to see more. It's not an edge of your seat cliffhanger can't wait for next weeks episode but more of a "lost" style, what's happening here I need to watch more to get more information.
Maybe not for everybody but I like it so far.
