Likely, the OP has a fungal skin condition as CANESTEN und Zalain are used to treat such fungal infections of the foot or other places.

Does anyone have a Yamaha Grand Filano Hybrid?  I am struggling a bit to understand what the benefit of the electric motor is.  As near as I can tell from the brochure, the motor either provides all the power or assists in providing power when accelerating from a stop, which would, of course, improve gas mileage.  Is this correct?  Is this all it does, or does the motor provide power assist at other times, such as when ascending a steep hill or when a passenger is on board?

Thanks.

Yamaha Grand Filano. They can almost keep up with buffalos. 

You must have some very fast buffaloes. My Grand Filano can easily move along at 70-80 kph.

copy of the first page of the house book with the address and the page with the wifes name (which is usually copied onto 1 page).

Note the text in parentheses!  This is important!! I lost my hallowed place third in line during my recent trip to Savannakhet in early March because I had my wife's signed copies of the first page of her tabien baan and the page with her name on it on two separate pieces of paper.  The immigration lady would not accept this, I had to go across the street and copy the two pages onto one page, thus putting me back at the end of the line.  Nevertheless, the lady then accepted this page and took the first page, which had my wife's original signature on it.  Thereafter, no further problems or issues.  Fortunately, this was before the massive influx of people that is occurring there now.

Why? In certain situations I'd agree, but not on this occasion.

 

The OP should have been stamped in until 12th January, so his permission to stay is legitimate until that date.

If he leaves and re-enters on or just before 10th December, well before 90 days, he will be given another 90 day entry stamp until March, automatically correcting any previous errors.

 

 

 

 

OP here. 

Thanks for the additional comments.  Mostly, I am concerned about not being here illegally.  So, if I simply want to postpone getting a new Non-O visa for around 90 days, would it be reasonable to leave the country say on 9 Dec, return the same day (as the Enter before date is 10 Dec, 2018), get a proper 90-day stamp, and near the expiration of that 90-day period, return to Savannakhet for a new visa?  I am not really interested in extending yet another 60 days just to further postpone the trip to Savannakhet.  It would seem that this would resolve the current incorrect date stamp problem.  However, it is easy for me to go to CM Immigration and get the stamp fixed.

The other alternative for me is just to go to Savannakhet on 10 Dec and apply for a new visa.  Your thoughts?

Thanks.

Yes, if the visa was issued in December 11th, 2017.

 

It looks like the IO didn’t see you had a valid non ‘O’ visa and gave you a 30 day stay under visa exemption.

 

If you go to your local immigration office they will correct the mistake and give you the full 90 days.

 

No.

 

You should have been given 90 days from Oct 15th and been admitted until January 12th, 2018.

 

You have a multiple entry visa valid for use until December 11th. If you leave again and re-enter on or before December 11th you’ll receive a new 90 day stay, 

 

If you want to maximise your stay using this visa you should exit/re-enter just before December 11th and get another 90 days taking you to early March.

 

Then, in March (at the end of the 90 days) you can get a 60 day extension of stay taking you to May 2019.

Thanks, everyone, for the replies.  Greatly appreciated.  Just to note again, I entered on 15 Oct 2018, and the Admitted Until date is 12 Nov 2019.  Yes 2019, not 2018, i.e., 1 year!  See the attached photo. Clearly, this is incorrect.  However, I was planning to go to Savannakhet on 10 Dec to apply for another Non-O visa, and If I do this, is there really any need to get the date stamp corrected?

Also, if I understand some of the replies correctly, if I really want to milk this, I could exit the country on 10 Dec and return for a new 90 days, and along with another 90-day extension, I really would not need to apply for a new Non-O visa until early May 2019.  Correct?

Thanks.

I have a Non-immigrant O visa obtained on the basis of marriage to a Thai the was issued on 11 Dec, 2017 at Savannakhet.  As is well know, this is the type of visa requiring an exit from Thailand every 90 days.  I just want tor reconfirm that the last day the visa is valid is 10 Dec 2018, i.e., on 11 Dec 2018 it has expired.

Also, on my last visa run, I returned from Lao on 15 Oct 2018.  The date on the stamp is "Admitted until 12 NOV 2019".  I questioned the immigration officer at CNX, but said this was correct.  Is this, in fact, correct for the type of visa I have, and if so, why?  Shouldn't the admitted until day be 11 Dec 2018, the day that the visa is now invalid?

Thanks for your responses.

Yes.  Just make sure you buy the blue bottle of Haiter and not the pink bottle.

What is the actual difference between the blue and pink bottles?

$35 is worth taking for the Laos VISA on entry.

$35 in beautiful, untarnished bills, by the way.  My $5 bill had a tiny crease that was deemed unacceptable; thus, Ihad to pay in baht.  

That low of a rate does not make sense. If the bank/ATM you used did that, then go to a different bank. ATM exchange rates are very close if not better than cash exchange rates so something seems out of kilter. And if you do withdraw money, make sure you use the ATMs that allow 30 k baht at a time and not 25 or 20 k baht. There are fees charged of I think 150 baht now that are un avoidable, but some US banks and others will rebate such fees. I am told Schwab rebates them. Etrade rebates all US based transaction fees but I believe they no longer rebate foreign ATM transaction fees.

Which ATMs in Thailand allow withdrawal of 30 k baht at one time?

The one I went to was at fashion island, but I would have thought it is in all stores

Any hint where fashion islands is?

No problem will ask wife....something calles "fashion islands" is surely well known

Fashion Island is in Khan na Yao, immediately northwest of Minburi.

The good thing with Fizik is, in the Bangkok area at least, they have test saddles for you to try and find the correct shape that's suits your riding style, so you don't blow a large sum of money on something that doesn't solve the problem.

Is the stop of the Emquartier Ploen Chit or Nana?

It's the station after Ploen Chit and before the Asoke station, Phrom Pong station.

The station name is correct. However, Phrom Pong is the next station after Asoke in the direction Bearing. The station after Ploen Chit and before Asoke station is Nana.

It would help to know where you live, but if you have a car, the track around Suvarnabhumi airport is clearly the safest place to ride. At least you will only be hit by other cyclists.

You may also be able to take the Airport Link train to the airport, or you can ride there if you don't live too far away.

You might look at a Bianchi Kuma. I have seen them priced from about 17,000 Baht in BKK depending on the parts used. Standard triple chain ring, 9-speed rear sprocket setup--more than enough gears for you. A bit heavy, but that is to be expected in this price range. Tires are geared more towards road use. Check it out.

I'm planning to go to Hanoi soon. It would be nice to know the name of the hotel you stayed at, if that is allowed here. Otherwise, please PM me.

Thanks.

I went there yesterday. Pretty much like the bike shows at Paradise, if you have seen those, only a bit smaller. Lots of accessories on sale from various local vendors. The bikes on display run the gamut from the seemingly ubiquitous folding bikes seen at these shows up to nice Cervelo and Quintanaroo TT bikes at about 100,000 Baht. Lots of jerseys on sale as well. One booth had the exact accessory I was looking for so I bought it and was happy. Only downside was that the free arm warmers I get from my purchase are not available until September 20, So I will need to return to pick those up. Probably worth a visit if you are in the market for a new bike as you can get a reasonable idea of what is available here.

Does anyone know where I can buy a used Campagnolo Record or Chorus 10-speed rear derailleur in Bangkok. I know some Thai shops have them because I saw them at a bike show at Paradise mall a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I don't have the numbers or names if these places.

Thanks.

A simple search on Google found this. The building is halfway between platinum and Panthip Plaza. Hope this helps.

How much was it at Big C?

Sorry, but I really do not understand the confusion on this question.

Seems simple by comparison to all the others.

Women from different cultures speak different languages.

To our western ears, some languages sound more beautiful than the sounds of other languages, as spoken by female speakers.

Maybe I should have posted this on the language forum?

But this is an interesting question.

Japanese has sounded most beautiful to me when spoken by the native female speaker.

But Japanese has also sounded most repellent to me when spoken by the native male speaker.

How say you all?

About Japanese and other languages you have heard in your travels around Asia?

(Sorry about bold type, but I think there is some confusion due to my poor posing of the question in my post, posted above)

You're question is pretty clear to me. I must agree; the Thai female voice and the addition of "ka" at the end are very nice. It is interesting that "ka" is so ingrained in the Thai woman's psyche that it is used even when they speak English or another foreign language. Very cute. Getting a few Thai woman together in conversation, however, can sometimes sound like a real cat fight.

Have to disagree about the Japanese female voice, though. I lived in Tokyo for 6 years, and that cutesy "kawaii" voice just makes me gag. It is just put on to make the males happy. Many times, when you listen to Japanese woman in conversation with no men around, that kawaii voice disappears, and they talk normally, and their voices drop by about 2 octaves. It is just so fake-sounding to me. But to each his own, and if you like it, OK!

I like the sound of Dutch woman as well. Very pleasing accent to me.
