  1. I recently had a call from woman claiming to be from PEA. She said they would be coming to fit a smart meter. She wanted me to download her LINE app. I said I would go to the local office here in Chiang rai. She put the phone down. I did go go to the PEA office and played the recording of the phone call to the staff. They laughed and said yes a scam. No smart meters here.
  2. I use moneycorp and have for sometime. I have not heard anything yet. The notice period is is very short. Still as you say there loss. I used a lovely small independent company up until 2017 and they were taken over by moneycorp.
  3. Make your own condensed milk. Its very easy to do and you can control how much sugar you want in it. It also works much better in bakery products
  4. Hello. I wonder if someone could help with some useful suggestions to my problem. I have a Non O multi entry visa which will expire on the 19th of August. My intention is to apply for an extension to stay based on marriage. I had this last time, but it expired while I was abroard so I came back on the multi entry visa.. My problem is that the 400,000 required in the bank was transfered from abroard late and was only placed into my Thai bank account on the 21st July. That was totaly my fault. My questions are. 1. I live in Chiang Rai, could I go to Mae sai, exit Thailand and return without a visa for 30 days?. Could I do this twice while my money seasons. This would then allow 21 days to complete a new extension to stay. Is that enough time. 2. I could travel to Penang and get a 90 day single entry visa based on marriage. then convert this in Thailand after 2 months. Dose the money have to be seasoned for 2 months for this option ?. Dose anyone have any recent experience at Penang. I did read some time ago they only take the first 100 applications a day. Or do you have to book an appointment first now. Thanks for any constructive advice.
  5. Not to Foreign passport holders.
  6. Mae sai not open to foreign passport holders at this time. I went there this morning.
  7. Just thought I would share my experience at Mae Sai this morning. I arrived at 0830 and was told to wait for immigration to open at 9am. Once they came they told myself and some other foreign passport holders that we could not cross here. "The computers on the Myanmar side are not working. I asked when they would be and was told not for some time. I drove along to the Golden triangle and took a boat across the Mekong and renewed my visa there. This experience was very pleasant and quiet.

  8. Hello. According to a Bangkok Post article today. Mae Sai boarder crossing is now open. The article quotes an official saying Thai people need a permit and foreigners need to show there passport. Also proof of vaccine required. I will go there this Wednesday to have a look and share my findings. If anyone goes sooner maybe they will do the same.
  9. The Royal Thai embassy in London only issues e visas. This has been the case for some time. When you receive your e visa you are asked to print a copy to give to a immigration officer.
  10. My ME Non O is based on marriage. Thanks for your reply.
  11. Hello. I wonder if someone can help me with this question. I entered Thailand by Air last year on a Non O multi entry issued in the UK. Normally I would go to Mae Sai for exit and re entry but it has been closed. So I have been going to Chiang Khong. The first time was no problem. The second time when exiting the immigration officer said 2 land crossings this is your last one. I wanted to show home the Non O visa print out, as it is no longer in your passport. But I was just waved on. So this is my question. Is there a limit to land boarder runs for a Non O multi entry?. I have to go again next week and will go erlier so if I need to fly out I still have time. But at the moment I would like some clarification if anyone can help it would be appreciated. Thanks
  12. Hello. Could someone advise please. I am planing a trip to Chiang Khong. I have a Non O Multi visa and am coming up to 90 days in Thailand. Is it a requirement to stay one night in Lao or can I simply turn round and come back into Thailand. Any information appreciated thanks.
  13. Good morning. I have been taking Accupril 5mg twice a day for a few years. This is for heart failure and my condition has not altered in the past 7 years. I order online from a Bangkok pharmacy. When I went to re order I was told this medicine had been withdrawn. And that is correct it has been withdrawn by Pfizer because of a manufacturing problem. No information is available to say if it will be for sale again. My question is can anyone help with other options which I could use. I have used ramipril before in the UK but found it quite expensive here. I get a full test done once a year and my kidney function is fine at the moment. I am trying to find any other brand names I could use and buy online as I live in Chiang rai. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks.
  14. Good morning. I like this plant and bought it a few years ago. Now it has grown taller it looks tired. It is in a 15 inch pot in an area that gets the afternoon sun. I have given it some 20-20-20 fertilizer pellets. But it remains the same. I wonder if I should cut it back but I don't want to kill it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
