And Play Store is not the only app store......... Some would argue that Google is an ad business so perhaps not surprising and possibly for interest to some here is a link actually from 8 years ago about kicking them and other ad blockers off - https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-kicks-ad-blocker-apps-off-play-store/

I know you said you were taken to a "public" hospital - lucky or unlucky not sure. For example the cost of the MRIs alone at a private hospital in Pattaya would have set you back most of that 110k baht and 2 weeks in intensive care I shudder to think......... Saying that 3m baht coverage is a lot better than nothing which seems to be the case for many here..........

In Pattaya some years ago when some event was on they had municipal officials at one of the step entrances to Pattaya beach and they stopped us from taking our dogs onto the beach - said it was against the "law". GF had a right old argument with them but they wouldn't budge.

Fate of my 800,000 baht deposited for Ret Ext.
topt replied to soleddy's topic in Family and Children
You ever think about writing a book............ There was also the option of a DIY will being touted (in a nice way) on here. Can't remember the cost but I think @blackcab was involved. Not sure you want a thai lawyer as executor personally. If it is fairly simple and going to one person I would suggest to make the beneficiary the executor as well. -
Have you bothered to read any of the other threads? If not maybe start here - A lot of other expats also struggled but by reading the thread you may learn something new for next time.......... Simplistically if on a pc you press and hold Ctrl button and then left click on the files you want which should highlight them and then press save/upload or whatever the command was and both pics will appear together.
-
Why? Completely separate province..........

Suggest you check one of the other threads as a lot of people who "failed" in putting the 2 pics required received this. Apparently being worked on but if you read the other thread(s) it will explain better what's happening.

You have to click around on the calendar headings, year, month etc and you will find that you can get to it without so many clicks. But yes it is not intuitive.

Pattaya counts as Bangkok now then does it.....???? Quite a few down here have had the texts for vax at Central Festival. Reported on other threads.

OP some extra reading for you if really interested in the merits of the different kit...... https://dashcamtalk.com/ - has, or had, a fairly active forum as well https://dashboardcamerareviews.com/ https://carcamcentral.com/ - seems not to be up to date

cash limit out and into uk?
topt replied to clivebaxter's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
No but if you get pulled for any reason in the UK and have a lot of cash make sure you have some proof of where it came from as they can still seize it if they have reasonable concerns it is from crime proceeds..... https://www.gov.uk/bringing-cash-into-uk Proof could just be copies of bank withdrawals/exchange booth conversions etc. -
Did you see the post above from David555? I also have an appointment for tomorrow and I know of several acquaintances who were either vaxed today or have appointments - however all are in Pattaya. Mine was from the expatvac site as not registered anywhere else that I have been waiting on an answer from.
-
Thanks. I have just received a text with appointment for tomorrow morning........ Considering I already had an appt. for tomorrow pm at BPH made with a different link I seem to be doing better than a lot of posters on here..........

I don't think the vaccination schedule for there has started yet. Did you not receive a confirmation with location? My understanding is all the current BPH comments refer to vaccinations in Building D at BPH. I, and some others who reported 10 days or so ago, are due to go Thursday.

Do you mean here or UK? In UK yes. Even Hargreaves Lansdown ask for an OTP because I have cash savings account with them which is a PITA. Here and UK OTP for online transactions to newly set up payees - in SCB case first 2 transactions.
-
Pretty much no change where I am except the closest market has lost a lot of its traders. The fresh veg stall is still there everyday however. Big C Extra shop pretty much as normal......YMMV Not where I shop and the items I shop for....... Some places it may be an issue but my no means universal.

Bank Savings Interest Rates 2021
topt replied to kiever's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I have been using one in Pattaya for more than a few years now. The first time it took 2 goes to get the letter right and they are not the quickest at getting it done so give yourself some time. However that is going to depend on the individual branch staff. -
Money Grabbing Veterinary Surgeons.
topt replied to NoshowJones's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Is that this one below, which I used to use when I had 2 dogs and thought they were very good, or the one not far short of Naklua fish market run by an older guy? -
I was in and out in about 10 minutes earlier this year once they had found an English speaker to deal with me - it really was very painless. Plastic screens between you and the clerks dealing with it. My situation was different to yours so not sure what you mean by all kinds of paperwork? My understanding from the previous long threads on this and a friends experience was that Yellow book gets you the exemption.

How make Line video/audio call from phone to PC?
topt replied to david_je's topic in IT and Computers
I am confused by this as they are trying to contact you. Do you mean it says this on their phones? What OS and version are you on? (Apple/Windows and which?) Do you also have Line installed on a phone? Edit to ask have they ever been able to call you?
