Re: How much to build a house?

Just finished a house last year: 2 bedroom/2 bath, no luxuries (one air con). Total cost with labor was 2,300,000 baht. Builder was a local (wife's nephew).

SSA form 7162

Have any of you from the USA received the "proof of life" form; SSA-7162... They're supposed to be sent out in May or June, but I haven't gotten one yet. I've changed my address, wondering if that's the problem.

Re: Renew marriage visa

Applied for my Non-immigrant O based on marriage yesterday. Turned in 2 copies of everything when I sat down. Went pretty well, except the letter from Bangkok Bank that I got first thing in the morning was not the right letter. Had to go back to the bank and get a different letter. Back to Immigrati...

FREE Science Books! *NO LONGER AVAILABLE*

I'm recently retired, and I have 18 science textbooks I'd like to donate to a needy school. These are mostly upper and a few lower secondary level, many are Cambridge or Oxford Press. They are hardly used, have been in storage, and are in excellent shape. You'ld have to pick them up, I'm on Soi Nong...

I renewed my US passport by mail earlier this year, just followed the directions on the website. Mailed my passport and a return envelope to the office in Bangkok. I had my new passport in hand in two weeks, no problems.

Re: House and Lake 17 Rai For Sale Ban Tat

The total property is 17 rai. These are rough estimates, based on Google satellite photos... I haven't actually measured these features: The land currently under cultivation (rice) is 6 rai. The lake occupies 3 rai . Two ponds occupy 2 rai. The remaining land is occupied by the garage, house, patio,...

Re: Sourcing a few blank recordable DVDs

To answer your question, I recently bought a few at a small computer repair\cell phone shop on Soi Nongbua, it's two doors down (south) of the 7-11, same side of the street.

(I tried all the electronics shops at Central, none carried them.)

Re: One year(marriage) in Savanakhet

Unfortunately a Lao visa on entry would still be required, I don't know about Cambodia.
As I understand it, a reentry permit is not required, but I'm in the process of trying to verify that.

Re: One year(marriage) in Savanakhet

Thanks. I am admitted to stay for 3 months (no more 90 day checkins). Within 3 months I have to do a border run, when I return I'll get another 90 days before I have to do another one. The visa is good for one year.

Fortunately a border run to Nong Khai is no big deal.
