I would go with some particular type of ant bite. GF gets similar sometimes. You can see the bite mark in the centre of the redness in that photo. Quite itchy and painful.

Chinese tourists coming back to Thailand in big numbers
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Saw them in Tops last week, actually filling two suitcases at the checkout with dried foods to take home. Must be expensive in China. -
Bangkok makes pact with Moscow to collaborate on 6 aspects
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Seems like a lot of waffle to me. Trade and entrepreneurship? With all the barricades Thailand puts on foreign companies here? Can't see many Thai companies wanting to open up in Russia either. -
Dealer refuses to acknowledge new car defect
phetphet replied to Alain Folly's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Maybe do a search and try and find head of the car company in Thailand. Not the dealership, but the car manufacturer itself. Let them know and ask for advice on what to do. Make make a video of what is happening as proof if possible. -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
phetphet replied to CharlieH's topic in Entertainment
Just caught up on Season 3 The Mandalorian. Based on the Star Wars franchise, Season 3 of Picard. Based on Star Trek franchise, Some of those actors have not aged well. Also just finished Season 1 of The Last of Us. Don't know if there will be a Season 2. -
A friend is about to apply to convert Visa exempt to Non Imm O. He has been basically living in a hotel, and will move to yet another hotel this week. Looking at the requirements, most seem pretty straightforward, but this last one ( see below the bold part, copied from requirements): A rental receipt past three months is throwing me. Why would one need to be renting for three months prior to Non Imm O application? I'm sure he will be able to get a covering letter from the hotel that he will be staying for three months, but will that be enough? RentalAgreement between the Applicant and theLandlord; A copy of house registration. Location map of the house and a rental receipt Past three months. Either one 4x6 cm photograph or one 2 inch size photograph Application fee of Baht 2,000 TIA

Knightbridge wealthy and hiso. Stepney is /was a working class area of London, close to the Thames and the docks. Especially in the sixties. Like many parts of of London, the property boom has changed some of it. although still many immigrant enclaves. I take from the song that in losing her valuables, she could only afford to live oin a cheaper part of London. Hence, "Now she gets her kicks in Stepney."

Coming Soon to the AN ChatGPT System - You will be amazed!
phetphet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes. The day before, AN offered members ChatGPT. Now today Moderators replaced by ChatGPT. So eventually we could have Member's Chat GPT talking to Moderator's Chat GPT, arguing, while not realising everyone is elsewhere enjoying themselves. ???? -
Fees for cardless withdrawal coming
phetphet replied to digbeth's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Still waiting for them to reintroduce charges for mobile transfers such as PromptPay. They were removed at the start of Covid to encourage people not to handle 'dirty' banknotes. Personally, I still prefer cash, but do often use banking app to pay for some shopping. They seem to operate as a Cartel here. Similar charges all introduced at the same time. -
Thailand’s wild, wooly and booming weed experiment

Watch out 7-11. They are overtaking you in numbers everywhere. -
When I first started reading your description, it sounded like Ringworm, but looking at that photo, it looks like a bite of some sort. Maybe see a different doctor., or even visit an STD clinic...and launder your bedding. If you have been dipping your wick in Pattaya, you may have picked up something more unsavoury

And now having to deal with this other office. It's been there a while, but I have only ever dealt with our normal Immigration Office. Now it looks like I will do my 90 Day reports and extension renewal in normal office and TM.30 reports to Investigation and Suppression Division. My head hurts.

Surat Thani. Am on Samui. On annual extension. Renewed two months ago.. I haven't done a TM.30 for several years, but the lot that turned up this week were from the Investigation and Suppression Division. Checked the whole building. At least those that were at home. I showed them by Notification of Address stapled in my passport, and they told me it was no good and I needed to do another TM.30. and report every time I return from a trip. Even if just for one night. Went to my normal Immigration Office and they wouldn't do it. Told me to go see the lot that turned up at my door. It's a different office. Took my name and looked me up on computer. Didn't even look at completed TM.30 forms. Handed it all back to me. At least I now have a new Notification of Address in PP. I will go back next week to report after my overnight BKK trip and see what happens.

In truth there is no one answer. In spite of what the rules may say, each IO will interpret them how they see fit. I haven't done a TM.30 for a few years, but last week IO turned up at my building checking TM.30s. Told me I have to do every time I return from overnight trip. I think there is a bit of a clampdown lately due to bad press for IO's and the Chinese grey market affair.

Visit from Immigration today. TM.30
phetphet replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
That is how I have understood it. I haven't done a TM.30 since pre Covid. I was told not necessary once I had given Notification of Address. Then with the visit the other day, they told me I not only have to report when I return from outside Thailand, but whenever I leave home and stay somewhere else. Anyway. I have now redone Notification of Address, got the paper stapled into my passport, and will do 'in person' TM.30 reports each time I return from a trip. I pass the Choengmon Office every day so no big deal. They will have to do the entries into their database themselves. -
Website still looking a bit bare re. services at the moment. Clicked on Annual Health Check, but goes nowhere. Passed it a few times and it does look nice .
