    Letter to USA with tracking or return receipt?

    Is the tax return going to a PO Box? If so, sending it registered won't work. There is nobody there to sign for it. I make that mistake once sending my tax return registered to a PO Box, and it was returned as undeliverable.

    Also, my wife said the most all the Post Offices are closed for Songkran from day 12 to 15, so you may have trouble finding one that is open.

    UPS from Lazada?

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    I have a Syndome ECO II, Power Rating: 2200 VA / 1320 W. I have a PC, 2 monitors, router, True Visions box, and TV connected to it. It will supply power for about 30 minutes when the power goes out. I comes with software that I installed on the PC to monitor the UPS and I set it to shutdown the PC after 15 minutes. I had to put in a new battery after 2 1/2 years, I got it at IT City for 7,900 baht. There are cheaper ones with a lower power rating.

    Does your wife/partner work

    in Marriage and Divorce

    Posted

    My wife owns 3 stores, a convience store, pet mart and a hardware store. She works a lot - takes up most of her time. But, she makes over 500,000 baht a month. 14 years ago, I financed her to get started with the convience store. Within 2 years she paid me back and went on to open the other 2 stores with her profits. I'm really lucky to have her.

    O-A Visa, 76 years old, No Medical Insurance

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Thanks for all the replies. I should have stated that my O-A visa is based on retirement.
    A year or so ago I asked Immigration what the requirement were for marriage visa. One of the requirements was two witnesses from our village. My wife and I were not comfortable with dragging two people down to immigration. So, we decided not to do that.
    So last year, I applied for extension on November 1, 1 day after the October 31 deadline. The IO agent approved my extension but said when I get insurance to bring in the paper from the insurance company. But two insurance companies denied me insurance because I had cancer a few years before.
    So it seems that I won't need insurance because I'm 76 years old. I remember reading somewhere that several people over 75 applied for an extension and did not need insurance. But I don't know if it was in Korat or not. I'll contact immigration to see what they say.

    I would also prefer a box where you can pause live tv, rewind and see whenever you want and having the option to record on the box.

    Had this in the UK with the BT box.

    You can get a PVR option with True and attach a hard drive to it. I have it and record many programs that I can watch later. I can also pause live TV, rewind, and resume.
