Ok, there is one scenario someone could get bored. If you lived in middle of nowhere like Issan, that would get very boring very quickly. I could never imagine living in such a place with nothing around. Need to be living somewhere where there's some life and mental stimulation.

How the hell can one get bored? I don't understand it. Being on the computer, listening to music, swimming, lifting weights, exercising outside, going for walks by the beach and spending a few hours relaxing at the beach, going for a normal massage, finding a place to eat, downloading and watching some tv series and/or movies, etc. Impossible to get bored at all.

Only a fool ever buys property in Thailand. Renting is the only way to go. Own property overseas & only rent in Thailand. That's the smart way.

Only a pathetic loser spends all their times in bars. How the hell can anyone get bored? Having tons of free time is awesome, you can fill it up with doing lots of cool activities and live your best life.

On the back of the router it says: Brand: RUIO Model: S10 There is no Advanced tab after logging into the router. There's only Home, Quick Settings, Device Settings, SMS, Phonebook, Firewall & System Settings. In all those tabs there's no USSD or Network option.

A Zinger burger costs 69 baht in Thailand. Wow, Canada is a ripoff if all those 4 items comes to $30.

You must be living in some very cheap places, because the condo building I live in, the balcony comes to about 5 centremetres below my nipples, and I'm just under 6 feet tall. No way of actually falling over the railings.

The AIS Net Marathon SIM was given at the same time when buying the AIS 4G Home Wifi Modem Router, which was directly from the AIS shop. They did all the registration and put the SIM in the router. The pack which contained the SIM and the phone number of the SIM was thrown away, as I didn't think that I needed the phone number later on, as it was only to be used in the AIS 4G Home Wifi Modem Router. I think I will have to give that a try. Break out the Nano SIM out of the larger Micro SIM. Hopefully when I put it back into the Micro part, it will line up fine back in the router.

I get a "Send fail" message when trying it via the modem's SMS feature. I also tried sending a SMS via the modem's SMS feature to my current AIS mobile number in my phone but same problem, I get a "Send fail" message too. Taking out the SIM, well, it's a bigger size in the Wifi router than the size in my mobile phone. In the router it's a Micro SIM but my phone takes the smallest Nano SIM.

How to find phone number of an AIS Net Marathon SIM inside an AIS 4G Home Wifi Modem Router? I logged into the router but can't see anywhere where it displays the phone number of the AIS SIM card. There's a SMS section and also a phonebook section, but that doesn't list anything. Anyone knows how to find out the phone number of the SIM card so I can add funds to it for when it's due for it's 12 month renewal of the existing package? Alternatively, do I need to take it to an AIS shop and ask them to check the phone number of the SIM card?

Just got a message now about the renewal. Today being 3 days before expiry. SMS is in Thai language, even though I set any messages to come in English. From my poor ability to read Thai I can make out that it's about the renewal, but if I use Google Translate it basically says package expires in 3 days. Auto renew for 12 months, make sure you top up 1,790 baht prior. For continuous use, please top up enough money.

A private taxi to take one passenger to Cambodia and back to BKK for 6k, wow you've struck the jackpot there my friend!!

The requirements are for funds stated to be shown in the bank account of the applicant. Since he's the applicant, he will need to have the required funds to apply for a METV.

Yes, I have the Mr DIY receipt, the store I bought it from. I'm not sure about 30 day warranty as the receipt says "Exchanges are allowed within 7 day with receipt. Strictly no cash refunds".

Condo juristic office just told me it's because I bought a cheap one, that's why it lasts only a few days. If they buy and install, then it's 400 baht for a good one. And everyone here said it costs 100 baht or so to replace a new bum gun. That's only if you want to keep replacing bum guns every 5 days at over 200+ baht (100 baht for installation) every 5 days!! That's $10 every 5 days to continuously fix bum gums that keeps breaking.

I bought one from Mr DIY for 110 baht and paid 100 baht for the condo technician to install it. That was 5 days ago. This morning I was awoken to a broken bum gun and the water flooding the bathroom, so I immediately turned off the valve for the bum gum. Water still leaking out of the new bum gun. What the hell, only 5 days it lasted!!! Is this a plumbing issue in the building or my room or the water pressure going to my room being too strong? I can't be replacing bum guns every 5 days. bloody hell.

Yes, please report back how you go how things go after you arrive back to Thailand. Probably best to avoid female IO when entering and only go to a line with a male IO.

So it wasn't only me who was sent packing and told to come back one (1) business day prior to stamp expiry. It is everybody else too. How long ago did you go for your extension, was it in the past few weeks?

What's the deal with this? I don't understand why they asked you for this. Did you already have the TM30 slip stapled in the back of your passport when you previously lodged the TM30 with them at Jomtien which was done 72 hours within your initial entry into Thailand?

Thanks for the report. Did you go one (1) business day prior to stamp expiry or how long before? Is a photocopy of the TM30 which they previously stapled to the back of the passport needed? I can't remember if this needs photocopying or not since it would be in the system already when it was lodged with them already on the last visit to their offices.

Ok, thanks. I will top up my number soon with 1,890 baht tomorrow.

Unfortunately it doesn't show the price I paid there. See screnshot: https://ibb.co/Btzk9k0

So both you and your husband were able to renew the exact same package as you were on before, one week or one month after expiry? And for the same price of 1,890 baht, correct?

I'm also looking at the Terms & Conditions on the link you've provided. It says the below, so I'm presuming the same with my current package which is about to expire shortly: There will be no SMS notification prior to the package termination. Also, they are now charging for AIS to AIS calls. Previously all were free to the same network. Call rates : Calls to any networks are charged at 50 Satang/30 seconds (1 Baht for the first minute) 24 hours.

For the new Marathon package has a mere 50GB allowance and costs 2,200 baht, on the top banner it says: *Applicable to customers using a new One-2-Call SIM for less than 30 days only. Right now I'm only 8 days away from my current package expiry so I will need to see if next week I get a text message offering me a renewal of my package, otherwise I'll have to give them a ring.
