Water purification machines, do you trust them?
Ohyesuare replied to Don Chance's topic in General Topics
In my condo, the water machines have a red light that goes on automatically and it stops accepting coins once it's time to change the filter, clean the machine etc.. I've been using them for awhile and feel no ill effects. -
Virtual credit card
Ohyesuare replied to madox66's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
True Wallet has a virtual credit card you can use if you are able to get verified to use it. -

Stupid me! I lent a lot of money to a Thai woman.
Ohyesuare replied to gingerandtabby's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Never lend what you can't afford to lose or give, especially in Thailand. A lawyer will probably just end up losing you more without any results.- 155 replies

Covid-Infected Security Guard Dies At Factory Booth
Ohyesuare replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I agree but many here without sick leave are left with no choice but to still go to work or possibly go hungry and further into debt. -
Elite Visa renewal - potential issue.
Ohyesuare replied to Jenkins9039's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Visa and 90 day reporting are completely separate, your 90 day report doesn't reset when you renew your extension of stay or expire when your extension of stay does. If your last TM30 is for the same address where you are currently staying then you don't need to do a new one as someone has already said. You don't get a new "visa" every year, you renew your extension of stay every year and get a new sticker after 5 years if you have the 10 or 20 year Elite visa. I'm confused what your wife has to do with anything. She is not required to visit immigration to renew your Elite Visa. At worst, you can do a quick same day flight or border run in and out of Thailand and you'll get a new one year extension of stay but sounds like your paperwork is in order so shouldn't be necessary. -
Yes some drivers can be bad with GPT directions or just like to call anyway so they won't have to wait long. I'd recommend the OP learn how to say his address in Thai and if one does call, just keep repeating the address if they don't know any English.

"It is not clear how this case will proceed as the victim is not yet out of danger and still unconscious while the two French nationals appear to be negotiating with the man’s wife through the police in Bophut to reach a resolution to prevent very serious charges being prosecuted against them" Looks like they'll most likely avoid jail after some heavy brown envelopes are handed out. Might have to sell that new luxury car to afford them.

TrueMoney Wallet QR Code Scan
Ohyesuare replied to ASEANTraveler's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
While TrueMoney wallet was still working for me, it was very convenient to use it at 7-11. As far as I know and have been told at some stores awhile ago, you can't use regular scan to pay there (Bank apps/PromptPay), does anyone know if this is the case? I rarely go to 7-11 or I'd ask again myself. -
TrueMoney Wallet QR Code Scan
Ohyesuare replied to ASEANTraveler's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
It's not the payment by phone apps that are the scourge, it's the technical incompetence or ignorance of people trying to use them. I pay with my phone via the Bangkok Bank app very frequently and daily and it takes less than a minute. I have it set to not ask for a PIN for small transactions, face unlock for the phone and Bangkok Bank app so I usually have it ready to go before the cashier even gets the QR code to show on the terminal and then it's just a quick scan and confirm and I'm ready to go before my receipt is even printed out. -
TrueMoney Wallet QR Code Scan
Ohyesuare replied to ASEANTraveler's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I initially did as well and used it for years with only that but then they put out some new anti-money laundering regulations not too long ago and required you to video call and show pink ID, thai driver's license or citizenship to keep using it so I just stopped using it. Similar to what they have now done with PayPal Thailand if you want to hold a balance. -
Same airport, same airline, I don't see any reason why you would need to go through immigration. Air Asia will probably give you your boarding passes for both flights when you check in at the Cambodian airport unless you have a super long layover at DMK. By some rare chance that you do need to go through immigration, with an onward ticket, you staying 2.5 years on covid extensions has no relevance.

TrueMoney Wallet QR Code Scan
Ohyesuare replied to ASEANTraveler's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
TrueWallet only works with vendors who accept it. It isn't like the scan to pay PromptPay transfer that the bank apps use. Also TrueWallet requires a pink card or Thai driver's license I think if you're not a Thai citizen. -
I have a motion/sound detection camera that I turn on for safe of mind whenever I leave my apartment for long periods. I can see the live feed from my phone and it sends a push notification when it detects lound sounds or motion. I also have my most important valuables tied down to a steel pole in a portable pacsafe. Yes I have caught staff entering with the camera unexpectedly and caught one going through my things.

Online 90 day report works or still finicky?
Ohyesuare replied to VinnieK's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just did mine this morning and approved after a few hours. -
I take l-theanine and also GABA. L-theanine is good to take during the day if you need to feel a sense of calm and GABA is more to take at night to help you sleep. I used to take Melatonin only and it did work for me for the most part but I prefer L-theanine and GABA. Bought at one of the drug stores in the ground level of Central Festival Pattaya, they have it showing in the store window.

Will never understand why people care so much or worry about what other people put on their face or not.
