Actually, back then, some mail programs executed code embedded in an email; thus, you could get malware installed by opening an email.

Can renew a passport while in overstay?
farang51 replied to Adrian78's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This could be a long thread ... Q: Are you German? A: No, I am not German. Q: Are you Israeli? A: No, I am not Israeli. ... Why don't you tell us which country, and then maybe someone would be able to answer your question. By the way, If you want to travel to your home country directly from Thailand, you will probably be able to do so even if your passport expire. -

Phuket police arrest suspect in burglary of foreign-owned villa
farang51 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
A foreigner used money to buy it. -
However, be aware that your insurance will not cover if you do not have a valid license; and the license is not valid after the experation date.

Sorry, if this is a stupid question. I see many write about QR codes and phones; is it not possible to pay using contact free payment with the chip on a credit card? In Denmark, which I believe was the frontrunner in digital payment, not Sweden, we use contact less payment with a credit card. Very fast and very convenient.

Fifteen Foreign Riders Arrested in Patong Breaking Traffic Rules
farang51 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
It is two different things. The IDP itself is valid for 12 months. However, the country you are visiting may demand a local licence if you stay more than a certain time. I believe it is 3 months in most countries, including in Thailand. -

Owner kept deposit
farang51 replied to Suphawk's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
The contract started when both partners signed it. Your rent period had not started yet. Anything in the contract about what happens if one of the signers does not fulfill it? Also, how much was the deposit compared to rent and how long was the rent period? -

Not a spider but still ... 19 minutes long but surely worth it. -
It's not you and I doubt that new speakers will make much of a difference. I usually always watch TV shows and movies with subtitles on, and when watching movies with guns and cars exploding I am usually constantly turning the sound up and down so I can hear the dialogue and so I do not bother the neighbours too much. I believe I paid around 5.000 baht for my speakers.

Facebook is rubbish at preventing scammers
farang51 replied to scubascuba3's topic in General Topics
They don't even care when someone is scamming in Facebook's name. Two times, I got a direct message warning me that Facebook was about to close my account. I had to log in on a special page and ask for it not to be closed. It was of course a fake website and the message was not from an official Facebook company user. I reported the message and explained that it was an attempt to get my login code to Facebook. The first time, I never got a reply. The second time, I got a reply after a couple of weeks saying that the user/the message did not contain anything against Facebook's policies. -

Documents required to buy a New Honda Scooter
farang51 replied to Startmeup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Isn't that a Click? As far as I can see on the internet, the ADV is not a step through. I gave up buying a new scooter because I want a step through and I want a key and kick start. Apparently they do not make those anymore. By the way, a Click 125i is fine for touring. I have been around Thailand a few times on mine. -
Documents required to buy a New Honda Scooter
farang51 replied to Startmeup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I was told 30 days. It does not say anything about validity on the Certificate of Residence, though. By the way, when applying for the Certificate of Residence you have to state what you want it for; however, the certificate can be used for several things nonetheless. Mine says driver's license, buy or sell a car or open a bank account even thought I stated buying a scooter on the application -

You don't need that in Phuket. The TM30 is needed in Phuket. I brought the rent contract but I do not remember if they wanted to see it. -
Maybe no on cares, however, generally, wild camping is not allowed. Thus camping on private ground after getting permission from the owner is the safe bet. Many national parks offers camping in a tent. https://wanderingourworld.com/wild-camping-southeast-asia-rules-every-country/

Is there a big bus from Don Mueang airport to Pattaya?
farang51 replied to advancebooking's topic in Bangkok
In August 2022, a new bus route opened on a trial basis directly from Don Mueang to North Pattaya Bus Station in Pattaya. They started with two departures daily, at 10:30 and 15:00, and the price was 350 baht. If they still operate the route you should be able to buy a ticket from a stall between exit 10 and 11. -
Renew 2 year licence to 5 year, timeframe?
farang51 replied to sanook 1's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
1 year, according to the motor office. However, I am not sure the insurance will cover in that period. ** I have sort of the opposite problem. Last year I got a two year license because I was on a tourist visa. Now I am on a proper visa and should be able to get a five year licence - but how long before the expiration date can I apply for a new licence? I still got +1 year on the licence. ** Sorry, didn't realize that you asked about the 1st 2 year licence. My answer is for a 5 year licence. I am not sure it is the same for a 2 year licence.
