People are asking for personal experience and not google search with 1000 results. Usually, the ones on the top of the search are costly.

How did it go?

Due to Covid situation, the delay can be a few months in some countries.

How long does the OZ embassy in Thailand takes to get the new passport?

You can try the govt clinic opposite Suriwong Bookstore (near Pantip Plaza) on Sridonchai Road, just go there and see whether they can convert or not. Many of us got our vaccination booklet there.

It's always better to renew at your home country because there is usually a delay in getting the new passport from few weeks to few months in Thailand depending on your home country. Then you will only get less than a year extension depending on how much is left on your passport expiry date.

What is balance rules?

I just looked at it and it only accept credit cards and not COD. Shoppee and Lazada have COD which is better. I had bad experience with Central Thailand where a product was advertised but they had no stock after I ordered it. It was a pain getting back the refund.

This morning I even saw somebody jaywalking (not on zebra crossing) and expect the cars to stop for him in the middle of the road. Sometimes, it is the stupidity of pedestrians that caused deaths

Just air ticket and passport, not sure whether they require the vaccination cert, just bring along. The PCR test is only required for the destination country.

What do you mean by 40/50 usd per month? You mean the agent fees? How can it be so low?

How come Aliexpress quotes in USD? Shoppee and Lazada both quotes in baht. Is this coming from US? Do they accept COD?

The problem with that shop is that they put MSG into every sauce that is pre-prepared. MSG gives me headaches so it's a no-no.

Mosquito breed where there's water so maybe drain out the water. If that's not possible, buy one of these LED mosquisto killer.

I could open it with a Non-O retirement extension. Maybe try again if there is a new manager or go to another branch.

You might want to try Mee Tae Dai bank account with Krungsri, they give about 1% interest rate which is double that of 0.5%

How does AliExpress compare with Shoppee?

Really? Then I won't shop with Lazada again after reading all the bad reviews. What do you mean by hold the money in trust? Do they take COD?

Isn't the interest rate like only 0.5% for 1 year which is pathetic?

I thought Covid extensions have been stopped?

Syrians are Arabic people, right? What is the connection between Syrians and Russians? I don't get it.

I said headaches and not migraine. For migraine, they will usually prescribe another medicine that dilates the blood, (can't remember the name but something to do with caffeine) One of the causes of headaches is MSG (if we don't have high blood pressure). Whenever I ask Thai people not to put MSG, I get a weird look from them. They always say MSG is 'aroi' so why am I not taking it? Migraines can also be caused by allergies like second-hand smoke.

So it is actually 90 days and not 3 months as wrongly informed in the past? 3 months can actually means more than 90 days due to the 31 days in a month.

Thai people put MSG in all their food, I always ask them not to put MSG. I used to have headaches for no reasons for many decades, the useless doctors just gave paracetamol to me which doesn't solve the root cause. Then I read about MSG causing headaches and I stopped taking it, I now no longer have headaches. There are lots of causes for migraines and it's usually related to allergies to either food or smoke from cigarettes

Can you tell me why did you choose AXA compared to other companies? I am trying to find the best insurance company in Thailand with regards to cost and service.
