  1. I tried anyway last night. It was ok but bit stressful indeed. I tried the parking zone 4 and it was very pack. Turn around 20 minutes but luckily found someone who was leaving. I was already considering what would happen if i missed my flight… so i think, i will keep using the taxi as my schedule is always very tight.
  2. How is it easy to find place available in the short term parking? I am traveling a lot for short trip domestically and international. My main concern is about the time to find a place to park. for example, i am going to Phuket tomorrow evening, come back to bkk Sunday evening, then going to Philippines Monday afternoon and coming back to bkk Tuesday night. i am doing such trip very often and bored using taxi.
  3. I have one of this Mee Tai Dai account since few years. Open in the branch, not online. I am not to remember but I think when I open it that time, the interest were up to 1.5% for max 1 million, then drop to 0.9% above 1 million. I went to the branch recently and they me that now, for this account (not online), the 1.5% interest is for max 100k balance. The online one is restricted to Thai only. At the meantime, i have the similar online account with SCB (I think it's easy something) when you get 1.5% up to 2M. No bank book. The interest are paid monthly. Better than nothing...
  4. Did you try Sony store. I just bought a new slim but digital (not interested about the disk). They have the slim with disk too. I bought mine in Sony Siam Paragon. 15,000 for the digital one with 1 controller 17,××× for the disk one
  5. No more Pantip plaza. I went there a month ago but there are no IT stuff. It's an empty department store.
  6. I got my work permit today in Bangkok (BOI). It does not specify any address or province. Only the company name and the position i am working (right of work). It's digital work permit
  7. Thanks. Actually, it seems standard same price from Thai airports. I am paying 250b in Phuket international Airport too. They increased earlier this year from 200 to 250. In Phuket, taxis are expensive (for 700b from home to airport one way) so for only few days trip, it worth paying the parking.
  8. Hello, I am wondering if someone knows the price / day to park a car at either DMK and BKK. I am travelling a lot for short trips (few days / a week) and considering using my own car to go to airports and leaving it there.
  9. Well, i just applied and obtained a Non B 90 days visa with documents provided by the BOI in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam few weeks ago. My choice for the consulate of HCMC was because I also working in Vietnam, based in HCMC, so convenient for me. There was no much waiting list for the appointment. I choose a date 2 weeks later when I made the appointment on their website at it convenient for me but i had the possibilities to get it earlier. On the of the visa application, all went smooth. There was only 1 document regarding the company taxes missing. They allowed to ask my company in Thailand to send me this document by email and get it print in the shop nearby and come back to the consulate. Then all done in 45 minutes. The payment (80 USD) must be done in USD only. Be careful as they are strict on the quality of the USD notes. If you don't have USD, they indicate you a place nearby to exchange. For me, I had USD already with me. I applied and the Friday morning and collected my passport back on the Tuesday afternoon. FYI, in my case, my company is relocating me from Vietnam to Thailand.
  10. I did that 2 months ago. Got a new passport in my Embassy in Bangkok. They cut the corners and stamped cancelled on the old one. Left the country few days later. At aiport, the immigration stamped a new entry on the new passport (even I entered in bkk and exit in Phuket) and wrote the non O and extension was on the old passport. They reminded me to make sure to carry my old passport when I come back. I was on Non O with 1 year extension retirement
  11. Where can i find the form to fill in advance?
  12. So this is always open? I will exit Thailand at Suvanarbhuni next week and i need a multi re-entry permit as I just enter with brand new Non-B (IB actually) single. My flight (to Hanoi) is at 07h45am, so little bit early. I guess boarding time will be 07h00am, so I be at the re-entry counter at 06h30am at last? Or to be on the save side, should i go to CW to get one?
  13. Well, the good thing is you can stop the subscription anytime. I have been subscriber of Netflix for very long time and use it a lot. 2 years ago, I also purchased an Ipad and enrolled for the 3 months free with Apple +. I ended the subscription at the end of the 3 months as I was not convinced. I prefer the interface of Netflix and I found that Netflix has more selection on movies and series. Last week, as I couldn't really find what to watch next on Netflix, and saw some interesting trailers on Apple + (some apple production), I signed up again on Apple+ (basically as they have already your apple ID, they only charge your credit card). I give it a try again and watch what I am interested but my stop the subscription after 1 month or 2. At the same time, I keep my Netflix subscription running as my wife use it too
  14. I got a new passport last month in my embassy last month (the old passport was full). I was on 1 year extension + multi re-entry. I didn't go to immigration but exited Thailand few days later. At airport immigration, with both passport, they stamped the last entry stamp to the new passport (I entered in bkk and exited in Phuket) and stamped that the extension was on the old passport. They told me to make sure I carry my old passport when I re-enter next time. I re-enter few days later without problem. They only wrote on the new entry stamp that the extension was on the old passport. I have actually done that many time as I am travelling a lot.
  15. Thanks all for your feedback. And your feedback is actually a confirmation of what i told the agent. Even the HR in my company agrees with me. The points you highlighted are correct. 1/ my actual extension expired on 7th June. As i didn't process the renewal, I need to leave tomorrow 2/ my re-entry permit (multi) is linked to my extension and valid with my extension. I won't be able to use even if i re-enter on the 8th of June 3/ my original non O and extension is based on retirement. I was clearly confirmed by the same agent that i need to get a non B to proceed work permit and extension as it won't possible based on the non o that I got. Anyway, i have a flight tomorrow to Vietnam and if I don't take it, I will be on overstay and I don't want that in any case. Thanks all for your feedback
