There are several, if not many, different grades of AAC blocks, the materials used vary as do the structural strength. There is not one standard, so without doing research into the details I can’t answer your question.

If a house has been successfully built using materials not rated for the use does not provide any proof that it is the correct way to do it, nor does it give any confidence that the structure is sound. That the walls are difficult to break down doesn’t prove anything but the glue bond is strong. You can build a house using cardboard if you want and if properly waterproofed and sized it could be good enough for a pump house but you would not get me using it, the same is true of your 100mm load bearing wall house, it will work for a time but isn’t rated for the use. I have found an AAC block that is load bearing at 125mm but not all AAC blocks are equal and the standard blocks used in Thailand have a lower limit of 200mm for load bearing use

That depends on if the rental income is remitted to Thailand, if it is it is subject to Thai income tax (since 1 January 2024), if it is held permanently overseas it is not subject to Thai tax.

That is because the standard in the U.K. is not AAC. AAC, to repeat myself, is not rated for non post and beam walls under 2000mm. The makers all rate the thinner blocks for fill in walls. Exactly why the 2000mm limit is there I don’t know, it certainly isn’t for cross bonding, it is probably for compression but for information you should contact Habel the original makers, who by now have almost 100 years experience

Not according to the Bangkok Bank website https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Digital-Banking/NDID https://www.oecd.org/tax/forum-on-tax-administration/publications-and-products/Thailand-National-Digital-Identity-Platform.pdf

If you are talking about AAC blocks they are not structural until you get to 200mm this is not opinion, it is in the specifications

The blocks are not structural, so that could be a good reason.

Not with JBP Contact-F. Albeit it has the appearance and consistency of water. Applied with roller brush. Never tried air spray. @Srikcir it is really a good idea to quote a reply. Is bad form and discourteous to edit a reply so you change it to suit your narrative. What I actually posted was So congratulations! You have a paint that is so dilute you have no reason to add water/thinner. That also means that you will need more than 2 coats ( usually first thinned, second full body) to produce a good base for your paint.

Give an example of poor advice please, so I can ensure that I don’t repeat it.

Udon office do not require that your verified overseas income is anything but overseas income. They accept Wise transfers to a very few banks as proof, Bangkok bank is the only guaranteed bank as these Wise transfers are coded as international if you request Wise to designate them as for immigration purposes, there are 2 other banks that are OK but I don’t have direct information about them. This information is from first hand reports and experience of using the office. The staff are generally helpful and there are few, if any, esoteric requirements. there is a thriving local forum, if you add the words udon map com in the correct configuration you will find it, it is certainly smaller than this forum but more relevant for those in the northeast

I do but you choose not to read it. there's none so blind as those who will not see

You should know by now that individual immigration offices will follow or do not follow the exact letter of the immigration rules. I am not referring to any under the table payment but the policy of the office in general. I know of several offices that are in the do not follow camp, I also know that there are a few in the will follow camp I do not make any guarantees with immigration, I am not stupid, but is seems that you are making a guarantee that I know is not supported by actual immigration office practices No and I have never suggested that I do. I rely on reports. Let’s continue with Udon immigration office. Do know what that office requires to satisfy income method?

Ignore his statement as there is a better than even chance that he is wrong.

That statement is demonstrably wrong. Some immigration offices will require the proof you suggest. Other offices do not, in general the number of offices that just require proof of income transfers from overseas is greater than the few offices that require it be pension income not from employment.

Well every Thai bank will require you to file a statement that you are or are not a US taxpayer (all us citizens are) because of the reporting requirements of the worldwide reach of the US tax authorities, so you haven’t heard of it for the US because you are already being reported by the Thai banks.

it is not Thailand that is making the request its the overseas bank and yes all overseas banks have or will ask this. For Thailand they do not require citizens or others to have a TIN, However you are required to pay tax if it is due, the fact that the Thai revenue department will basically ignore the 50% of the population who have so little liability making them file returns is of no revenue benefit is Thai a demonstration of pragmatism of saving money in enforcement and work for the RD.

for anything excluding the first primer coat i agree completely, however many manufacturers allow/recommend the first primer coat to be significantly diluted, 50% is mentioned on some cans

You can find quality products here, they cost as much or more than an equivalent foreign sourced product as the market is small for the expensive items. The problem is finding where to get them

If you have good motor control then gripping the underside nut with mole grips to stop it moving in the hole then using an angle grinder to very carefully cut the head of the bolt off but leaving a fraction of a millimetre is going to be a far better idea than trying to use a hacksaw

It can happen anytime. The common causes are one or all of: blocked or dirty filters dirty or damaged fan blocked or restricted water out flow line low refrigerant restrictions on the pipe set between the 2 units. it is likely that the time of day is a factor

FWIW NYY is rated for direct inground use. Plastic conduit is not required but if used and glued is virtually certain to fill with water. That is a reason to make sure if you use conduit make sure that it is not glued so the water can escape. The conduit can provide a moderate degree of protection from digging tools, so not a bad idea

There is a code published in Thai often not respected. @Crossy will have a link Yes, though you may want a few THW 1x4mm~6mm circuits Leave it in, only change it if asked (you may decide to have a 50A available to swap in) It is dodgy and against the regulations. Use the correct double insulated cable rated for the job NYY or NYY-G https://www.bangkokcable.com/system/product/file_upload/211102_450!750V 70C NYY-G_2-4core_Rev04.pdf

My Häfele Fu must be significant better than yours as it just took me about 30 seconds to go to the catalog “Furniture Fittings” the another 30 seconds to locate the section starting at 2.94 to 2.103 where there are probably around 26 different options up to 40kg. Typing this reply probably took twice as long as the search. EDIT in the current catalog it’s from 2.85 to 2.91, I didn’t check how many

What’s the problem? The Japanese use the same system cleaning windows on their buildings and they are far higher than any Thai condo.

Turps is an oily solvent so is likely not to work well. Washing with soap and water or window cleaner is unlikely to be strong enough a degreaser so again is likely to be effective. Bite the bullet and use a real degreaser as posted above. The oil is captured by the frosted glass and needs proper degreasing.
