Basically MEA office for me with the tabien baan and copy of chanote, sign the form they typed up for me, and that was it. Received bill in the mail in my name at the end of month. They were nice enough to show me mobile app that allows me to pay the bills directly so I can do it without visiting their office, bank or ATM - just put in credit card number and it's paid and payment recognised immediately. Great bunch. I did not go to the area where condo was placed, but at the Ratchaprasong, and the whole ordeal took about 15 minutes.

Recommended video at the end of that video is pure gold... Oh man, I miss the times when presidents were actually worth listening to...

Interesting pick for Trump... During the 2016 presidential election, JD Vance toured the national media circuit to promote his memoir and explain why he detested then-candidate Donald Trump. In one NPR interview, he joked that he would rather write in his dog on the ballot than vote for Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton. "I think that I'm going to vote third party because I can't stomach Trump," the "Hillbilly Elegy" author said at the time. "I think that he's noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/2024/07/15/how-jd-vance-evolved-from-trump-critic-to-vice-president-pick/74372572007/

Just checked Royal Gazette - lots of entries dated today, even covering the management of waste and welfare of dogs, but nothing about any tourist entry rules...

Hipflat? Lazudi? I don't know if they are free, but worth to check. Else just google up a condo for sale and see where all it shows up, then check if you can post on that sites for free.

So far there is nothing in Royal Gazette on this, and other media outlets say that Anutin approved and sent to Sreetha for signature, which apparently already happened. But nothing can be a law until it's published in Royal Gazette, I believe. https://ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/ Follow this page to see when it pops up.

Pakistani Diploma and Certificates press already got the order!

That's a change. Mostly we hear about foreigners getting on locals' nerves as foreigners think they can do whatever they want... And that seems to be confirmed in the news, like the 2 Kiwis who wrestled a cop, stole his gun and set it off... and they are out of jail and back to Kiwiland after 4 months...

Well, game over, Joe. This is just going to get MAGA masses to the polls which no Democratic candidate can overturn. Trump will be POTUS come next year, unless someone else aims better or he expires from clogged arteries.

Seems they already arrested the shooter.

Wonder how they would enforce this on foreigners? Pee test at visa extension? Actually that's not a bad idea... They could provide a free medical check at that time as well! Just finance it from that 300 baht landing tax or whatever they call it...

There is DVD ripping software which can convert a DVD into a video file, probably MPEG4 would be best. Many of them are free. I use Handbrake (not for DVD ripping but format conversion), which seems to have also been voted best free DVD ripping software for Mac: https://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-free-dvd-ripper It has profiles of target device, but it also allows you to tweak format, in case file is too big to fit. It doesn't support original DVDs (like original movies bought in store) as those are copy protected and this software doesn't include DRM decryption but as your DVDs are home-made, they would not be protected anyway. You can get it from https://handbrake.fr/ There's then a player for those, for which I use VLC Media Player, which again is a free tool from http://www.videolan.org/ This tool actually can read DVD files directly from the disc and also has conversion options inside to convert them to another format, different size, as well as post-process it for better image quality or reduced size, where it can then save video to another format. I prefer VLC as player, but both Handbrake and VLC can make file that plays on QuickTime player as well, if you choose so, or make video optimized for your mobile device. You'll need an external DVD drive, and pretty much any USB drive would do, but if you want it fancy, you could find an Apple SuperDrive which is built for Mac. There are plenty of them available second hand, not sure if new ones are still being sold. Example: https://www.kaidee.com/en/product-369215957

They would need to be renewed at the end of 30 years or anytime before that to 99 years, if both parties agreed, but it won't convert a 30 year lease into 99 year lease.

And then there is one hailstorm, severe flooding or short circuit that can change his fortunes...

400 million people. And these 2 are the best the country has to offer?

Not true. The card doesn't immediately get wiped when it expires. It stays available for top-up for quite some time after that, in my case my Travel SIMs (both AIS and True) remained valid and available for top-up (buying another roaming package) for more than a year... I have "reused" same SIM 1 year and 2 months later by simply inserting it into the phone and adding a package to it. There was no need to re-register anything, it was already in my name.

What are you talking about? He fulfilled all their election promises! He brought back Thaksin. And he brought back Thaksin. Then he brought back Thaksin. And did I mention he brought back Thaksin?

Surely he isn't!

So they paid but never got degrees. I guess they got a life lesson here!

As said - you need to download mobile app, then login to it. App is in Thai so if you need it in English, you will need to go to account, last icon at the bottom, and you'll notice a settings icon top right. tap on it, and you'll see Thai flag - that's country - leave it on Thailand. Just below the flag you have language - tap on that and choose English. Now that you're done, try to login with your phone number or email and password... You'll get a screen that your account is frozen with a button - Follow steps to fix. Tap on that. It'll give you option to send email out or SMS. I chose SMS (but I wish I did email as link worked on computer immediately but not on phone) and you're given 5 min to click on that link. There's just a standard information on which device is requesting access, and Approve (left) button. Once you approve it, screen on the app will change back to home page without being logged in. Now try to login again. Once that's successful, login back on your PC.

Worked for me as well. Though after seeing permissions demanded by the app - it's getting deleted immediately.

So I just got my account reopened. To do that I had to install Lazada app on the phone and login to it. That told me account was frozen. I followed steps (which included sending out a confirmation SMS with link to click on) and there click on approve (it's in Thai, click the left one). Once that was done, I was asked to confirm with fingerprint scan on the phone, before I was allowed to login again. Lazada support could have mentioned that you must use phone app for identity verification. But now the other thing - read the app permissions before you download it. Read my entire photo and video library, listen to my microphone, get entire call and message history, read messages inside all other apps, ... Immediately revoked all its permissions, and I think I'll be deleting it as well. The steps were listed by @bamnutsak in the other thread referenced above. 🙏
