  1. Translation from Siam Rath article: "MR.CHRISTIAN VEILLEUX likes to drink alcohol, act violently. He regularly quarrels and hits the woman he lives with. There has been physical harm to each other." 41 year old loser. With a 10 year ban from Thailand there's still time to try and get his act together back home. But I doubt he will.
  2. Clearly you have no real world experience with these machines, well maybe on a golf course fairway. Good luck working on rural land or farm on uneven ground if you think you can avoid rocks. You're like talking to a 13 year old virgin boy who is arguing that jacking off is better than the real deal.
  3. Very interesting. Can you demonstrate how that works with a blade or line spinning 360 degrees at high RPM 1-2 meters from your legs? I think you should do a video where you drop the spinning head down into some dirt and gravel and avoid getting hit with flying gravel. And wear flip flops and shorts since you're so confident.
  4. Cord will not work for cutting the stuff in image D above. And you should use a protector/guard even with cord as the cord will hurl pebbles or chunks of hidden metal at your feet, legs and groin area.
  5. I use blades like the one on the left (rectangular) in image C above bought from Shopee. The blades will dull quickly. You need to flip them over occasionally so both sides wear evenly. I just use a flat file and touch up the edges frequently while taking a break and sipping some Chang on ice. Along with the beer and a file I bring along a rechargeable fan to help cool down some during the breaks. In the heat if I cut for about 15-20 minutes and take a 5-10 minute break I can get a lot more cutting done than trying to cut non stop. The wife will sometimes dig out the root wads with a mahjok. Here's a great on video of a Thai supposedly demonstrating how to remove a blade. Haha, wonder why the he can't get the nut off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS3KMWEvn7Q
  6. And you could have had 800,000 baht parked in the same bank account untouched for those 17 years but you will still be required to show proof each year. Not a bad idea but how do they know whether or not you've moved if you don't submit proof of your residence to them on a regular (yearly) basis.
  7. I can't understand why people continually beat up on Thai immigration for requesting a new TM30. How can immigration confirm that the notified period of stay (at that particular dwelling) has not yet ended without requesting a new TM30? I'm certain that the busy offices requiring a new TM30 see people on a daily basis that claim to be living at the same address when in fact they aren't any longer.
  8. The debit card would be handy but if it were me I'd definitely have it sent to your address of record in the US and get it forwarded. You may also need to call a toll free number to activate the card so that's something else to consider. I use the debit card at Bangkok Bank ATMs. The last time was end on January and I was able to withdraw the ATMs max of 25,000 baht at that time. I keep cash parked in the Schwab SWVXX money market fund paying around 5% these days. When I need money in Thailand I move funds from the money market to the checking and do free ACH pushes to my Wise multi currency USD account (also paying around 5% interest) or do an ATM withdrawal with my debit card. I've done some basic comparisons between ATM withdrawals and Wise transfers and they look like they come out pretty close for the amount of Baht received.
  9. Kicking a woman in the back and the verbal abuse demonstrated what kind of an animal he is. If one could document all his aggression toward others in the span of his life the list would be very long indeed. Had that been two Thai guys sitting on the stairs the coward would not have dared attack the way he did those women. Huge fine, jail, deport and blacklist.
  10. Did your wife's parents wai you first or at all? It's the relative age compared to your wife's age that matters. You should Wai the parents first even if younger than yourself and Wai any older siblings of your wife first even if younger than you. Anyway that's the proper way in Esahn.
  11. Where do bird mites come from? Bird mites are found throughout the United States and in different countries. They prefer warm climates, so they’re typically active during the spring and early summer. These mites originate in birds like chickens, pigeons, sparrows, and starlings — but also live near bird nests. Even though bird mites need the blood of birds to complete their life cycle and survive, they can bite humans. Human blood, though, isn’t enough for survival. Symptoms of a bird mite bite are similar to bites of other insects and mites. You may develop small red bumps or a crawling sensation on your skin. Bird mite bites also cause itching, which can be severe at times. https://www.healthline.com/health/bird-mites
  12. We were recently checking out scooters mainly for the wife with me being an occasional rider. The Giorno 125 looked good and ticked a lot of boxes but I think they were only recently introduced here so reliability, parts and service could be a problem for early adopters. The Scoopy is on the small side for me and a butt ugly paint job on the Club12 models clearly targeting teens. The older Scoopys look all loose and rattly to me. The Click looked like something from Star Wars and the older ones around mostly look like crap. The Honda Lead was appealing but talking to a salesperson she said they are manufactured in Vietnam and will no longer be imported here because of a low profit margin. I have no idea if that's true so don't shoot the messenger. She also said replacement parts are slow to arrive because they come from Vietnam, that I can believe. The Grand Filano Hybrid with ABS like the one you got was the best of the lot. At first I was put off by the term hybrid thinking too much high tech but reading up on it eased my concerns and sounds like a good thing not overly complicated. They are great looking with nice smooth lines, quiet and the older ones around still look good. Hope it works out well for you.
  13. Thanks for your explanations. The video of his jump clearly shows the misrouted bridle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyYe8LJwFKw This slow motion video shows how a static line bridle should look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ3mlMduFDw
  14. The way it was written by eboy "over 800k Baht in a Thai bank for a couple of years" implies an extension of stay of based on a Non O-A.
  15. It's understandable that some Immigration offices would want recent proof of your current residence. It would require a level of trust to accept an old TM30. What would prevent someone from moving to a new residence and not notify Immigration with a new TM30? I'm guessing foreigners in the the Pattaya, Jomtiem, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Samui areas move around a lot with all the available housing options. I can see why an Immigration office in those areas might request TM 30 updates. Regarding this part of the unofficial English translation "..the same alien has left the premise and returned for another stay within the valid period.." Valid period is not referring to the valid period of the visa or extension of stay it is referring to the valid period of stay at that premise. Google Translate does a pretty decent job of translation: "2.2 When the home owner, owner, or possessor of the dwelling or hotel manager The notification according to 2.1 has been processed. Later, the foreigner travels to stay at another place from time to time and returns to stay at the same place under the time frame of accepting residence that has not yet ended. The host, owner or person Possession of residence or the hotel manager does not have to notify again." No mention of valid period of visa etc in that paragraph.
