I have to admit I did this the last time a couple of years ago. I have no idea if anything changed. But now I have i.e. also my Thai driver license with my address on it. That seems to do the job in some cases where normally companies ask for my passport.

Anything official with my address on it. A bank statement, a land line phone bill, things like that.

Yes, heart failure definitely happens when someone dies. It happens with accidents, old age, drugs, whatever. The heart fails and death is unavoidable. So the reason "heart failure" should be on all death certificates.

150cc Suzuki Raider. Yeah!

Thanks. In above cases it seems until now I showed them a bill with my address or a bank statement and that was all they wanted.

What is a residence certificate (for Bangkok)? I live here since decades and I don't think I have such thing or need it.

It seems part of the problem is that you seem to be a cheap Charlie. Don't expect first class service if you are not willing to pay for it. When I arrived in Thailand a couple of month ago I had to quarantine for a week in a hotel. No problem on the departing airport, no problem arriving in Bangkok airport, Mercedes limousine ready just for me. And then a week luxury food, pralines and espresso. I would do it again - but it definitely wasn't the cheapest offer.

Windows takes a long time to update if it wasn't used for a long time. I.e. over the years I had several notebooks which I used sometimes only every couple of months. With those notebooks it happened regularly that they used a long time, sometimes an hour or so, to update Windows and other programs when I opened them the first time. That never happened on my desktop PC which I use all the time. My "solution" for the seldom used notebooks: I open then the day before I want to actually use them to let Windows install whatever it wants to install. Then everything works fine the next day. In my case this works most of the time because most of the time I know in advance when I will take those notebooks with me to a customer or on a trip.

But Windows is also not as bad as some people think it is. I think I had the last malware with Windows XP before the firewall became part of Windows. Nothing since then. And I use it all the time. If people let Windows do the automatic updates and if they pay a little attention not to click here and there and everywhere then Windows is 99% secure.
