you have to send the suitcase by minivan 

Someone else said that too.

Surely that can not be the case!

I am trying to book a flight on air asia, Buriram to Don Mueang in January

It gives me the flight at a price of about 1500 baht including 7kg carry on.

Thats fine, but I want to add a suitcase also, and obviously pay a bit more, but just do not see an option to do so.

Have they stopped carrying suitcases now?

Those of you who have VPN apps, can you please check if they have Vietnam in it? Can you please share the name of those apps that have it? I’ve checked two and they don’t.

Nord VPN has 2 in vietnam

When did Nok Air  stop flying to Buriram airport?

I just checked their website and do not see the choice anymore.

I am abroad at the moment

Not yet sure what produre I will have yet. Just wanted an idea on price in TH.

Thanks

I require a procedure to increase the blood flow in my legs.

One of the options is leg angioplasty.

Does anyone have experience of having this done in Thailand ?

What are the costs of having this procedure done?

Both I and my wife already have our seperate accounts at the Kasikorn Bank.

I want to open a joint account for us, to make life a bit easier for the survivor, accessing funds when one of us passes, and waiting for the wills to be actioned.

Does anyone have any experience?

Here is a Thai based company :

https://www.atlrecovery.net/bangkokdatarecovery/

I am sure they do.

You would need to ask around at somewhere like Pantip Plaza.

There used to be small shops on various levels that did more specific board level repairs etc not sure now as I have not been there myself for a number of years.

They mean to someone who specializes in data recovery.

They will probably open the crashed drive, remove the disk platters and put them in a working drive with the exact same electronics.

Hard disks are like a stack of spinning dinner plates with heads moving in between the plates, chances are the either the movng heads have failed or the platters bearings have failed.

So they may need to buy an identical model drive second hand on somewhere like ebay.

There used to be a company that advertised the service in England but not sure if they still exist.

Not sure if this is them:

You will probably be looking at a price north of 14,000 Baht

Rubbish.

Annual income is about 35K

What advise for a prepaid debit card for users living abroad who visit thailand for a few months annually ?

 

A firm where one can send foreign currency, have it directly changed into THB and not have any other surprise expenses or issues when using the card like a credit card in THB when in Thailand ?

 

All advice appreciated. Thank you.

Just get a Wise Card. You can open numerous currency balances.

Use their debit card.

Also use the service for transferring money to Thailand.

Use this link and get a fee-free transfer up to £500 (or equivalent in $, €, etc)

Bit worrying when the website has  spelling mistakes on the landing page of

easyvisasolutions.com

"Thai national traveling "

and

"Obtaining Both Forien and Domestic Visa's "

The standard of professors is going downhill. I wonder if he bought his qualiifications.

Very unprofessional in this day of spell checkers

I've never been charged for digital payments in the UK, in the decades they have been available. Nor have I ever been charged for the issue of debit / credit cards which is the norm here.
Don't the Banks make enough from their customers, with the extremely low interest rates, and high loan / mortgage repayments? 
Beware the cashless society, designed to remove control of their own money, from ordinary people. 

The retailers are charged when you make a transaction.

Thats the fee that they are talking about.

Currently the is no charge to the retailer when you make your QR Code payment.

Look at

They will send to you

I have a flight change in the Middle East so would you recommend I pack it in my suitcase rather than hand luggage?

I saw the thread but 2016 is a long time ago!

Just wondered if anyone had a more recent experience.

I used to bring in meats which I know are now no longer allowed.

However is cheese allowed?

Thanks in advance.

Not looking to grow these, just buy them.

Does anyone know when during the year they appear in the markets?

Thanks

Thanks for ther clarification

Is the the "No Export" option always  available on grid tied inverters, say for example your meter is changed from analogue (which go backward) to the new

digital meters which can be may be set to charge for inputs also.

or is this something you yourself have come up with?

If you had a small solar system which was Grid tied and saved say 25% of the monthly Pea cost.  So your monthly bill dropped from 4000 to 3000

You had a constant base load of  1 domestic Fridge, 1  freezer, 1 shop fridge and 1  modern 26 btu air con on every day during daylight hours.

When using this switch mode in "No Export" mode does that mean you are not even supplying power to supplement the local load?
