Is this required for Children or Adults?
-
This is based on 2019 pre covid. It is possible with the influx of more foreigners from different countries, the number now is far above the 300000. Or maybe you are only considering those who are western. But nonetheless, the extra influx of people still contribute to the country and its GDP. Which is what Mike Lister mentioned in one of his posts, regarding GDP. But even so, even back in 2019, I would have thought the number to be higher. Quite surprising.

I did reply just now, but my post has vanished. Maybe a senior moment on my part😀 -

I would be interested to know where you get the figures of 300,000 westerners residing in Thailand. -

I read those criticisms as well. But I focused on the positive reviews. There are always two sides to reviews. And anyway, that was last year. I posted this to let people know that the service was excellent.

@Isan FarangJust a couple of tips that you may or not be aware of: 1. Make sure that the document you provide with proof of address shows exactly the same address as your home address in Thailand. 2. If you are using a Thai debit/ credit card to pay, make sure that it is authorised by the bank for overseas payments. Payments are debited in UK. My neighbour had his payment declined by the bank and was informed by VFS. Fortunately he visited VFS to resubmit payment, after speaking with the bank to authorise payment, and all was well in the end.

Understood. I was extremely surprised to get the phone call after 9 days of submission. I had been told it would take 3/4 weeks.

Book online appointment. One trip to attend appointment. And a second trip to collect your passport. Hope that helps.

Just to inform anyone needing to renew their passports through VFS Chiang Mai. I submitted my passport application on 16th January and it arrived back today 25th. Excellent service at application point and amazingly quick return. Staff were very friendly, professional and helpful.

How can they charge the owner 100% commission? That means the hotel gets nothing.

Progressive lenses are available in Thailand. My wife had them made through Diamond Eyes. See my earlier post. Or did you miss it because you weren't wearing your specs?🤣🤣

Yep. I rang Samsung care centre in bkk. And they told me to take it there. Good luck.

I took mine to Samsung on the moat and they repaired it in 15 minutes. Cost 54 baht!!

GDP Forecast To Rise 3.8% Partly Due To Digital Wallet Campaign
Raindancer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Understand the principle. But it is really robbing Peter to pay Paul. And is probably a head line to try and impress the world. So it really is disinformation. -
Thank you. I normally don't get any. Just this morning, these mini windows appeared with videos in them. Which adguard/ adlock do you recommend please?
-
Mmmm. Haven't made any changes as far as I know. I will monitor it. Thank you

How can GDP possibly rise with a 500 billion baht debt to raise the digital wallet?
