If you live in Bangkok like I do and want to have a good time then you need buckets of money. Suitcases even ????

Chiang Mai not same same Bangkok.

Google Lens can help with translation if you get stuck. I'd be lost here without it. Edit: if you're using an Android phone to browse the Lazada app.

IMHO it's more perfidious than that. I think they simply don't want us to use the app anymore. Even if you have your Play Store country and payment profile set to Thailand it still won't come up in a search. This is the URL for the app that I extracted using the Play Store's share function. Clicking on it will likely bring up a blank screen instead of the usual "this app is not available in your region" message. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=th.go.immigration.section38 Also, the app itself hasn't been updated since May 28, 2020. I find this unusual as apps need to be updated every so often to stay current. Finally, they are not advertising it on immi.go.th hence why I reckon it's a sunset application that they hope will fade into the distance ????

In Bangkok or somewhere else?

My searching indicates that 'RAV Endpoint Protection' is a product of Reason Labs which appears to be a legit company started by an ex-Microsoft chap. However I couldn't find much in the way of reviews or actual knowledgeable folk who could say whether it is legit or not. Just "it looks like a PUP so kill it with fire", which is likely what I'd do if it sneaked onto my PC. https://reasonlabs.com

no, the topic is RAV Endpoint Protection. Do you have any experience with it or not?

Well that's the topic, innit?

Bangkok is particularly tough for some reason. You won't get a Certificate of Residence at Immigration Division I a.k.a. CW unless you have submitted a 90-day report and you can't submit one of those unless you're on a an extension of stay. You can't get an extension of stay without a bank account and you can't get a bank account without a CoR so yes, it's all a bit silly. Many folk claim that you can open a bank account on a tourist visa or visa exempt but when pressed they either won't name the branch or it happened in another province and/or was prior to the recent tightening of requirements. If the agents you have contacted can't help then you may have to consider opening an account in another province but that's a whole different kettle of fish.

So do you recommend RAV Endpoint Protection or not?

well it doesn't come up in the Play Store anymore and according to other posts is almost impossible to install on an iPhone so...

The OP's in Bangkok and is here on either a TR or VE.

Of course it's a weapon of war. It was commissioned by the US military in the 1950s and was used in Vietnam before the M16, which was based on the AR-15, was introduced. https://gundigest.com/gun-reviews/the-ar-16m16-the-rifle-that-was-never-supposed-to-be/amp#top
