Upset the neighbours with his behaviour, and they reported him. Then causes a stand off with the police and tries to pull down power lines. Doesn't say how long the couple had overstayed, but he certainly hasn't done his case any good if he he had any chance of returning sometime in the future. The IO stated likely deported and blacklisted.

I bought my PCX about a year ago. Paid cash and got the white plate in a month. But in other years when buying new bikes, have waited up to three months.

Safety for solo travellers in the Philippines
phetphet replied to coralia's topic in Philippines General Chat
I suppose it depends whereabouts in the Philippines you go. I have been to Cebu, Bohol, Dumaguete, Siquijor, Puerto Galera, Guimaras and Boracay in the early 2000's. Admittedly, mainly for diving so we were not doing much nightlife, and some of these places were very quiet apart from Boracay. Never experienced or saw any trouble anywhere. Flew from BKK into Cebu then, though not sure if still possible. I would avoid Manila like the plague. Too much crime, too many bad stories. -
Open UK Bank account from Thailand
phetphet replied to Gabe H Coud's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Just some suggestions: Are you doing your phone banking from a Thai phone number? That might be your problem. Same if you are doing online banking. It might be worth trying with a VPN set to UK. I keep a phone with a UK number which is registered with my bank and I use that for receiving OTP's or phone banking. Almost impossible to open a new UK bank account without a registered UK address nowadays. They often want proof of address such as a current UK driving licence or Council Tax bill. If you can hide the fact that you are not in the UK, and also provide required documents, you might get away with it. -
You could also check out the other providers. They might offer a better deal. You should still be able to keep your current number when changing to AIS or DTAC.

Any drone pilots available in Samui for a day
phetphet replied to mrblonde's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Just google "Samui drone photography" and Samui aerial photography and you will get some hits. There used to be a guy that regularly posted his videos and photos on the site. posted under name philthebook I think. He was fully licensed to fly drones here, and often did aerial work for hotels, resorts, and for roof inspections I believe.. Search for his name here and you could possibly PM him and ask him. Others may know his company name and contact details -
OP. Here's one for THB 899. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/4g-4g-router-wifi-wi-fi-300mbps-4g-lte-sim-card-wireless-i3320672404-s12301069860.html?clickTrackInfo=undefined&search=1&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.i40.67c11f83vZU1kE

You should go to True and ask them for an addon internet package to your SIM. Better yet. Seeing as these companies are always offering deals, just ask them to look at your current package and see if they have any better deals that include internet access for you.

K-Web shopping card on AliExpress.
phetphet replied to phetphet's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I saw it is mentioned for several months now in my online banking page. Something along the lines of K-bank will be introducing a new shopping card. Customers will be able to apply for it once issued. I didn't see anything about a fee. -
Finder > Macintosh HD > System > Applications

I think their cards might work with TPN Union Pay system.

If you sign up for Stack Social, there are lots of offers for Microsoft Office. https://stacksocial.com/search?utf8=✓&query=Microsoft+Office Including this one: https://stacksocial.com/sales/microsoft-office-professional-plus-2021-for-windows Bear in mind to read any small print, as lifetime might only mean for the lifetime of that version. I don't know as I haven't read it.

Just a heads up. I normally use my K-Web shopping card to pay for purchases on Aliexpress. Always went smoothly up until today when my card payment (USD 82) was rejected. Phoned Kasikorn. Turns out that (1) It was blocked because the charge was in USD instead of THB. I have my currency set at THB, but I think the Chinese companies want dollars. (2) There is a new security check in place called "Verified by Visa." I was told that I need to google "Verifed by Visa", choose the one for my bank, then follow instructions to add required information. Account No Card Expiry Card Limit.

First order on Lazada - what to expect when it comes to delivery ?
phetphet replied to Baron Samedi's topic in General Topics
I am in Samui. Generally I find that If coming from within Thailand, can be as quick as two days. Especially if seller is in Bangkok. If coming from overseas (usually China), it can take up to a month, depending on size and weight. -

Thai government defends foreign land ownership plan

And who's fault is that? -
Isn't scabies that disease that one sees in the soi dogs? That makes all their hair fall out? When you say stubborn, does that mean you have already tried medication? As already stated, best advice go see a doctor asap.

Not all Russians and Ukrainians hate each other. Many have friends and families in each other's countries. Many Russians disagree with the war. Mobilisation refugees likely just want to lay low, avoid trouble and stay here as long as possible.

Well there is a 2TB for $32.99 on the same site. Looks generic. Different brand name. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBN85Z6P/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0BBN85Z6P&pd_rd_w=Ss5GZ&content-id=amzn1.sym.25e96bbe-93d6-4790-9c18-ab0bc96db737&pf_rd_p=25e96bbe-93d6-4790-9c18-ab0bc96db737&pf_rd_r=GYAG8BT63T55BQPF2ZAE&pd_rd_wg=irLYQ&pd_rd_r=ef353357-631b-49e6-a1a4-b6f0ff7b32c2&s=pc&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM Maybe it was wrongly priced or they were all snapped up. Here is another on Aliexpress. 64TB. Buyer Beware. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004757910177.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1c746cf3KeYlwL&algo_pvid=8819ee5c-ecb6-4bd2-926c-325893304ee7&aem_p4p_detail=202210292103221276300945015860004589484&algo_exp_id=8819ee5c-ecb6-4bd2-926c-325893304ee7-29&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000030358632830"}&pdp_npi=2%40dis!THB!2275.95!1137.98!1069.7!!!!%402101e9cf16671026022891388e02b6!12000030358632830!sea&curPageLogUid=APYDR1YphPcP&ad_pvid=202210292103221276300945015860004589484_6

What items would you bring in your luggage from USA?
phetphet replied to Elkski's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
When deciding what to bring in either direction, you will have to consider the risk of getting stopped, and what tax and duties you might have to pay. You might be unlucky and get stopped by Bangkok Customs officials who will surely hit you up with a large bill. There are a few things that I want to buy from the US, but the postal and import tax almost doubles the cost. If stopped. Anything you bring will likely incur similar charges. Less postage of course. Funnily enough. Last night, someone suggested I bring a few things back from my trip to the UK next month. Only UK sweets and foodstuffs. Suggested I could charge double and still be cheaper than buying here. I tell you what though. Looking at the price of brussel sprouts in Tops last week (see photo). I wish I could bring a suitcase full of those for Christmas. Would make a killing selling to the expats. ????
