How about SpiceJet?? Saying that I once flew Air India from Saudi to Delhi... in Maharaja Class, I was the only customer up front and well taken care of!

There are certainly cases where a transit visa is needed when flying through a country, even if remaining in the airport. (A pal could not board with a Cambodian, heading to NZ from BKK with Oz transit... NZ Visa but no Oz one... a bad place to be.) If one can get a VOA or check your bags through, I expect it would be OK.

The 'demand'' for this has me perplexed. Coincidentally Addis Ababa, along with Abu Dhabi, was 'a place 'I must visit because of interesting names' when I was a kid... did Abu Dhabi!

Well thanks for the information but would it require a transit Visa? What am I thinking, I would more likely avoid Delhi even if only transit with the same carrier.

Fantastic Four.

Bad... a mess. But to be honest I avoid it even on foot.

Yes, very much that is the case. Samui and Phuket seem to be rogues. I think Jomtiem is one of the better ones although their requirement to 'show the money' 3 months after a retirement extension was issued upset a few. Some offices accept mail in and online 90 day reports, some do not. I hear sometimes combination method qualification is rejected here and there, despite it being clearly stated as viable in the Police Orders. Then, add to the mix, sometimes individual IOs who haven't got their head around things also come up with spurious statements.

After the pump... pumps push far better than they pull!

That is cheap, more familiar with closer to 4000 baht. Too many bends near the pump isn't great but I appreciate space is usually the issue with these fittings. I often find teflon taped screw fittings leak for a while then seem to improve, providing enough tape is there. My pump is getting old and I have already sourced exactly the same model, meaning I can unscrew the bolts on the pump inlet and outlet flanges, replace the rubber rings and reuse flanges... ie a drop in. Making up new piping is much too much work.

You are thinking perhaps of Nua or Klang.....

I suspect Airbnb.

Yes I have and am confident all is well.

Not since March 2019...

Well I certainly believe it is easier for me to do my Extension due to that. But they don't really ask for proof I own it, simply something confirming I live there. It is possible I have been there (and here) long term helps too.

Mityon....several locations.

And yet I have read statements that if you return to the same address, it is still not required. As stated, I act dumb, don't do it, and await someone to comment. Have to do a re-entry permit soon, maybe then, if I don't get lazy and leave it until the airport.

There was never a requirement to submit a TM28 when away from your address for over 24 hours that I am aware of. The TM28 was there to report a change of permanent address. The past controversy was the TM30 reporting, which is for a property owner/master/possessor to report a foreigner in his/her property. I believe there is now a TM27 form... I have yet to get my head around this change, but since Jomtiem immigration hasn't ever mentioned TM30 to me (or TM28), I act dumb and have yet to do one for myself. Here is a thread about this on ThaiVisa. Note at the end of the OP there is a link to more discussion that will make your eyes glaze over.

Well thanks for that, but I am a simple Expat, watching how my home currency does against that Thai baht....

Trading close to 1 what?

I was in the Hungry Hippo last night and as I sat there a tanker arrived and they ran a pipe through the dining area to supply water. I am sure I heard the manager/owner say he had not had water for a month.

Yeah, I have been buzzed by them quite a few times.... they were bad enough with a fare on the back, much worse with just a pizza. Been so close sometimes caused me to jump... Don't hold your breath for the police to react.

Haha, you are as nerdy as me! I have an above ground tank and have fitted the option to bypass around the tank and pump for when the electric is off and the pump can't work. I have also put a pressure gauge on the utility line so I can see at a glance when I have incoming water. The MP may well have a tank somewhere, but the rest of the pipes are a complete dog's dinner!

Interesting. I asked at an MP on Sunday and was told they had not lost water, yet, I knew some areas had been suffering water cuts. I do have this fear that they will blithely continue until the last drop, or that priority will be given to tourist and commercial areas and private households will run dry. A number of years ago I recall water shortages in my old house, and tankers were roaming the streets offering to fill up domestic tanks... they had made arrangements for the water to be cut the night before and money obviously changed hands.

It would not surprise me.
