Google Apple IPhone 13 refurbished phones. Sometimes  Apple website has inventory and I think with 1 year warranty 

I am actually looking at an iPhone 13 in the Thai apple store. 24900 baht (128gb). I hope not refurbished.

I do not think it will have the effect on small businesses that ou think.  Hell, even motorcycle taxis are using wallets to pay.

Was at a bar the other night and a lady came around selling snacks for 20 baht. Bar lady asked me could she have a couple but I said sorry no cash on me. The seller had a "badge" hanging around her neck. She said ok and turned it around to face me. It was a QR code. So almost everyone is starting to accept it.

Nana Animal Clinic, they treat birds, speak English.

Actually called Nana Animal Hospital. I take my dog there, highly recommended.

I don't want it to be transactional in the sense that I'm paying a prostitute for one hour of sex and leaving. Otherwise, I'd just pay a prostitute for one hour of sex and leave.  

What's that saying? "a rose by any other name"

A lot of the sites price based on your location. 

I'm often overseas and the Wife and I look for hotels for a break etc...  (agoda / booking.com etc)

 

Sometimes from overseas its cheaper.

I have been a member of expedia Australia a long time and and have lived Thailand 10 years. Often check prices locally and find expedia.au is often cheaper. Sometimes not. Same with local flights.

May sound silly but were you using WiFi? I was trying to pay something one time on WiFi and wouldn't work. I tried with WiFi off (4G) and worked ok. Apparently whoever I was paying regarded WiFi not as secure as 4G.

Yet last year, 12,000+ Thais ended up hospitalized.  
Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't affect anyone.

 

Did I say it didn't? And thats why I specifically mentioned me. I know it affects some people.

But would that not have an earlier date on it?

Bangkok Bank 1 year statements come from Bangkok and takes 1 week to arrive, here in Chiang Mai. Immigration always ok with that. Bank book needs to be updated on day of application.

I suppose it can vary with which immigration officer handles the renewal. I have been here 12 years, the Bangkok Bank letter showing that I have 12 monthly deposits as FTT has been enough although my bank book accompanied (I do not have every deposit entered in the book as I do not update regularly). I however, have always found using an agency clears away any issues I may not be aware of. I would add that I had been on an O-A Visa for Retirement. This year I switched to an O Visa for Marriage to a Thai Spouse. I still bring in the 65K from the USA every month as that is what we spend in Chiang Mai as a family of 3 (includes teen Stepdaughter).

I use an agent and what I said above is what they ask for so I assume immigration asks them.

I find the 40k/65k requirements strange. So a single person needs 65k to live on but a family of at least 2 people only needs 40k. No requirement for the spouse or any other family members earning money.

Tell her you are not killing them but sending them to their next life where they have a chance to become human.

 

If a mosquito lands on her does she just let it suck her blood or does she kill it?

They do have some strange ideas. My friend had a dog that was very sick and needed to be euthanised. Th vet would not do it. He had to buy the "dose" and took dog to vet. Vet inserted needle but my friend had to do the actual injection.

I wasn't as lucky and had to pay at the Australian Embassy to renew my Austrlian driver's licence. There might be some leeway depending on what authority you're sending documents to... but of course we have no idea where the OP is sending his documents and what the regulations are in that jurisdiction.

The JP used is licensed in Queensland and basically said he could do any Qld documents. He also  said he could do some federal documents. I required 8 signatures for my drivers licence renewal and would have cost me a fortune with the cost of 8 signatures and a return trip to Bangkok from Chiang Mai.

I was very lucky indeed to find this guy.

For example, the only place to have documents notarized to be used in Australia is at the Australian Embassy

Not 100% correct. I was lucky enough to find an Australian JP who witnessed 8 signatures for free and they were accepted by the Australian authority they were sent to.

Ideally, the panels should face 15.87­° (latitude of Thailand) South

 

Thais is not entirely correct. 15.87 is only one location in Thailand and not all of Thailand.

 From Wikipedia:-

In the northern hemisphere panels should face due south at an angle of the latitude where they are being installed. A 30 second look up on Google.

I use Wise scheduled transfers using the receiving amount. This will always give the exact amount that I set up to receive ,like  ฿ 65,000.00, and always within the a day or two of the date I specified. 

Yes, mine too. Just one month a few less baht arrived. I must have done something wrong. I was like only 3 baht less.
