  1. I think that if you can prove you already had that $100k in your account, before the start of this year, then you can subsequently bring in up to that $100k tax free. After that amount it will be assessable for tax.
  2. Areas with a high concentration of grilled pork sellers no doubt
  3. Only just seen this thread so a bit late but wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery
  4. Hi Crossy, Do you know if the new electronic meters "clock up" units if i am exporting to the grid or just not "clocking down" We got changed to new meter and so i have unplugged one GTI so as not to produce more than our normal daytime consumption in case they do indeed charge for exporting
  5. If true then you will probably be buying it at least over 40% market value
  6. Thats a bit of a worry Has anyone else have any experience of the smart meters?
  7. Sorry for late replies, away at work, Yes, pretty sure they saw meter going backwards, they came a day early on the reading before last so it would have been going backwards. So, two days ago they came and changed us to a smart meter, wife had to sign, and the man said we good to plug back in now haha. Obviously it will delay ROI but will get there eventually. The man also said they were changing a lot of people with solar to smart meters so sounds like they are actively looking so beware
  8. So, only approx BHT2500 short of break even on my DIY car port solar, i have received the dreaded letter from MEA to shut down my 'installation' with threat of meter change (not a problem) or be cut off....yikes
  9. Ok , Thanks Is it possible to convert a Non O marriage visa to Non O retirement or is it only possible to convert an extension TIA
  10. So i am ten months into my ME NO marriage from savannakhet, is it possible to get one year extension from CW without having to get a 60 day extension first? I travel in/out LOS every three weeks so 60 day complicates things If not and i have to go savannakhet again, do i need to wait until current visa expires? TIA
  11. To be fair, i totally understood the risk before installing my panels and will reach a ROI this year so not the end of the world for me. PEA/MEA do need to make money, but yes, for a greener future, they need to look at their policies WRT home solar instalations
  12. Hoping we have not been caught out, meter has Always been read on the 5th of the month, so usually ensure we using more than producing but this week i found the bill in the postbox on late afternoon on the 4th !!!
  13. Our meter reading is always the 5th of the month, in the morning. The only exception was when i was caught out when he arrived a day early, mid afternoon when we max producing. The 5th was a holiday, cant remember what for but luckily he didn't notice/didn't report the backwards spinning meter
  14. And yet, here you are, replying to said post!
  15. I'm glad we're spared a Croatia Vs Netherland match. How dull would that have been to watch. Both teams without shots on target until they HAD to score to stay in
  16. Do you even use Wise? If you did, you would know it tells you exactly how long the transfer took..in seconds
  17. Cannot say for certain, i usually transfer every couple of months when home in Thailand and during daytime. Not sure if same speed outside of banking hours.
  18. flying with Thai every three weeks direct to Europe. The price is the cheapest option and no stopover in the ME. Service is good, main meal better than other airlines, breakfast same as others.... dog s*** The worst thing is, unlike six months ago, the plane is 100% full every time now, i was getting quite accustomed to having a row to myself haha.
  19. yeah, i remember 2011, many announcements how we not going to be flooded as this and that all being managed even as the waater was rising around our feet haha
  20. Looks like its getting slightly better. Hope the worst is over for you.
  21. Right at the start of the that soi it is a sharper then 90' bend followed by some "S" bends. It may look small but soi 70 is the main thoroughfare between Suksawat and PrachaUthit roads and so unfortunately frequented by HGVs
  22. As above. Within a couple of months, our usage from grid was down 60%, no concerns ever raised. When home, i always ensure we are using more then producing on meter reading day, when i'm away, i am fairly confident the wife is not so "methodical" Our bill is also creeping up as the wife is a lot more carefree with usage "as its free" haha
