Yes, they do, but do not use the pink card. Should not matter for registering a vehicle, but you get only a "temporary" 2 years driver license with it, not 5 years.

That's an optimistic list, particular point 4, in light of recent news from the tourism minister.

TM30 is only when you travel abroad. The hotel however may do this for you anyway and the address record may get screwed up. Normally that would be covered by a TM28.

Better to let your wife/GF/whatever check in for you and stay in the background. Or use a driver license or pink ID, not your passport, so you have.

Uber often does not accept credit cards, had the happen a couple of times in BKK. The app already refuses the booking by CC.

Dressing up for private fun, or impersonation out in public? One is innocent, other criminal.

You can't impersonate BiB, they are unique :)

Try Superrich in Loi Kroh, they should have.

There is now that big hole, where once immigration was. Would be perfect for a car park! :D

BigC and Tesco have paper for photo print, also B2S in Central Airport (inside Robinson) or other locations

No need, I got mine at UOB near Macro and SCB and BKK just as others have.   

Ok, so what account exactly you have with UOB @Makro? Maybe we talk about different things.

After all your big statements, you don't really know much.  Try google, there are several UOB branches besides Airport Plaza.  They also show FCD accounts on their website and what is required to open one.

 

Look, I've asked UOB directly to open a FCD in Chiang Mail, they could not do it. Only result was a call to their own hotline which then referred to UOB BKK. Even in BKK only a few branches deal with FCDs, one is the Suk 4 branch in the Motorola building. But you can keep looking on websites :)

UOB near Macro CM has FCD accounts, opened one there 2017.

 

Where is UOB near Makro? I only know the branch in Central Airport.

No, they don't. UOB even in BKK can only do it in the Suk 4 branch., BKK Bank can't open US$ accounts at all.

They could not even do a US$ account in BKK..

They do that in CM at at least some banks.

Which bank can open a foreign currency account in CM? I tried UOB, Standard Chartered, Islamic Bank, SCB, CIMB

(SC is gone now, they closed business in CM).

Bank is good if you transfer in foreign currency into a foreign currency account and change when the time is right. I think they can only do this in BKK though. If you have the money here in cash, go to Superrich.

Thing you could have done next is stand up and walk into the Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, whatsover dealer next door.

I hope, everybody spread the word to the world. So, they lose all the tourist.

 

Double pricing. 

And what do you think they charge 10 times now....the tourists stay away already. Less customers, higher price, a typical example of Thai "logic". And that was the reason that the boat guys in Krabi went on the barricades. It will get worse, trust me.

Expect this to get worse. Only a small piece in the puzzle, the depleted national reserves, the recent discussion about alcohol and petrol tax increases, the double pricing sanctioned by the government, the so called cleanup of corrupt officials to get more of the money....they run out of it and further screw ups will only be a question of time. They are world champions in foot shooting, 2 at the same time, after all.

Your point is what?

People go to Sizzler for the salad, <deleted>?

Thanks., I was not aware of that. Which is a good thing :)

Don't think it is worth the import price. Go to the next "Krauter" workshop and they will fix it for you.

What's a BMT?

After looking at the photo, it got me thinking...Is that a re-con cucumber?  Only a billion Kg of cucumber grown every year in LOS, and a supertanker full of vinegar.....yet, pickles are more scarce than dog meat, and mustard much more scarce than skin-whitening cream.

Why would they have Cucumbers in Supertankers if they have no Harriers on Supercarriers? Just thinking... :)
