  1. Some entity is pouring a ton of money into renewing this course and is adding an additional 9 holes. I saw some of the expansion fairways the other day when I played a round. The hotel rooms seem to be complete and my caddie said they are filled with S. Korean guests. I teed off at 11:00 and was done by 14:00. I played solo so that helps with the time issue. The greens and fairways were in pretty nice shape when I played. Especially considering the drought we have up here in Kaeng Krachan. Just to add to pi747's post, there is an additional 100 baht fee for weekends and holidays plus my 3 caddies that I have used can speek nitnoi english. AND, there is a driving range and practice greens for your practice pleasure as well. I wish they would offer some type of membership. Maybe some day.
  2. I received my new U.S. passport today as well. Applied by mail on Nov. 11 or 12 and they responded on Nov. 14 that they had my application. Exceptional service. I think the wait time in the U.S. is 4 - 6 months.
  3. In case someone might be interested, I drove to the Kaeng Krachan golf course because I was told by a guy that someone, or company, was breathing some fresh air into the course after it has been dormant for the past few years. He wasn't lying. Not only was a ton of work being done on the golf course, they appear to be building a bunch of hotel or condo rooms facing the 18th fairway. I didn't talk to anyone at the course so all I can report is what I stated above. Regarding the structure photo, to the left of the structure there is another unit under construction as well.
  4. I've been a gout sufferer for decades. Inherited from my dad. I've been on allopurinol for decades as well. 100 mg daily. I have not read in this thread that anyone has used INDOMETHACIN (INDOCIN) for pain relief. For me, it has been the best, by far, for reducing or eliminating the pain and swelling caused by gout. It is available over the counter at most pharmacies. It is a very strong NSAID but works fast. Good luck to all you fellow gout sufferers.
  5. I believe the amount is still 400,000 baht and must be in an account in your name. I think it has to be in the account 2 or 3 months before applying for an extension. I use this method of extension and it works ok. Having to go to the bank to get the stamps and paperwork the same day you apply for the extension is an inconvenience. If any more seasoned board members have more accurate information, please correct my post. I am not sure about the account regarding whether or not your spouses name can be included as in a joint account.
  6. I have been enjoying fresh roasted Thai coffee beans from the following company listed on Lazada. I order the grade A, 1 kilogram size for 499 baht. Maybe even free shipping. Please visit the following link: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i272205270-s428904840.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&tradePath=omItm&tradeOrderId=692214307716494&tradeOrderLineId=692214307816494&spm=spm%3Da2o4m.order_details.item_title.1 The owner communicates well and might even be American or another English speaking person.
  7. I've been using this one for quite some time. The free version limits a user to 15 songs in a 24 hr period. https://www.4kdownload.com/-aqjqd/youtube-to-mp3
  8. Are you able to request more pages at the time you apply for a new passport? I would like to have one with additional pages if the option exists.
  9. I'm curious if any bars will be showing the Feb. 12, 2023 Super Bowl game. Date: Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023 | Time: 6:30 p.m. ET Location: State Farm Arena (Glendale, Arizona)? Thanks!
  10. I just checked out the pressure tank. It was full of water and there was no air released when I pressed down on the stem for putting air in the tank. I tried using a bike tire pump to add air but it wouldn't take any air. Also, I might have described the problem a bit wrong in the OP. When I turn on the water, the pump whines......for 10-15 seconds then kicks in. However, not all the time. As I mentioned in the OP, I've had to loosen the large cap on top (water supply intake), let some water run out, then re-tighten the cap. Maybe it is time for a replacement pump.
  11. I have a Fujika water pump that is about 12 years old. Now, on occasion, the pump will turn on but there is no water output. A couple times a light tap make it pump water and a few other times I unscrewed the cap on top and let some water flow out, replaced the cap and the pump worked as normal. I guess my question would be, is the pressure switch or pressure tank the most likely to be at fault? Thanks, in advance for any helpful suggestions.
  12. We use the Phetchaburi office and 4 years ago we were told to take new photos because we had used the same ones as the previous year. Fortunately, after some begging, we were allowed to submit our application after pledging to provide new photos the next year. No problems since using new photos the following years.
  13. Actually we didn't send baht. It was converted to U.S. dollars before sending.
  14. My wife and I had a friend from the states buy some land in my wife's name. When his relationship with another Thai lady ended, we sold the land for him. We were able to transfer 1.3 million baht back to his U.S. bank via Bangkok Bank. We did, however, have to split it into 2 wire transfers. Apparently that help avoid scrutiny by others. He received the funds without any issues.
