  1. Woman exerts enough negative energy to charge his power grid...
  2. Actually that's not true in my case. In my case I've changed passport outside country and on the entry stamp they wrote which page of previous passport there is the non-quota visa. That's all there was in my passport over COVID as I just got that stamp just before whole World closed down. On applying for non-quota visa and endorsement a few months back (or work permit during COVID), nobody asked any questions for having a single entry stamp in the entire new passport. I did provide old passport as well but nobody bothered to take a look at it. Any special day to be at CW? No. Any day that it's open. Same section as for PR - I think It is E1/E2, in white. Last counters before corridor on the right. All forms are available at reception (the room before getting into large room), and you need to fill those forms up there before going in and getting queue. And again - there's nothing to move from old to new passport ???? I went there to do the same and when I got to counter I got told it's nothing to do (though at that time I had new passport and new address). Was told data would be updated when I get new PR booklet. Not a bad trip, but wasted 3 hours for nothing.
  3. Do you have non-quota visa to migrate to new passport? If you don't, you don't need to inform immigration of the new passport, simply apply for new non-quota visa before leaving the country. There's nothing to update in blue/white book either. There's only single and multiple entry non-quota visa, which are 1900 and 3800 baht and then there's endorsement, which is done at the same time (stamp in the certificate of residence). Permanent residence and passport are not related, unless you've registered eChannel. Every 5 years (or 1 year if you choose to extend only 1 year) you need to go and extend the red book at the police station you're registered at. And every 10 years you extend your pink ID card at the local khet. That's about all you need to do with PR. Only thing, which you already know, is that you have to get non quota immigrant visa and endorsement before travel and return within its validity (1 year) not to lose PR.
  4. BSH discontinued domestic appliances under Siemens name but now sell them under Bosch brandname. Personally I prefer Hitachi and LG, with Bosch close 3rd. Not impressed with longevity or yellow bleaching on Electrolux, Samsung and Whirlpool. Our condo has Beko and I don't hear complaints but I've never owned one. The rest no idea. That's all for 10 kg front-loaders (wash or wash+dry combo). My favourite was Hitachi BD-S5500 but I had to leave it behind as it can't mount under the counter. That was the only proper combo wash+dry machine I've ever seen.
  5. Don't get the logic. Say I need 800k baht and it's in say EUR. Let's say it's 40 (for the sake of simple calculation) THB to 1 EUR. That's 20k EUR that needs to be transferred plus some fees. If EUR doesn't drop significantly, I'd still be getting close to 20k EUR when I transfer it back, minus the transfer fees. So there's no loss. But if you pay agent, say 20k, that money is gone and it is far higher than the loss in transfer left and right and exchange rate changes in a few months...
  6. How did you get it black inside? I thought it's all that ugly red/brown when white outside?
  7. Will demonstrators need Entertainment license for that, or was this not an exact copy from some other country?
  8. I'm using Coway. It's a subscription service for 5 years, and there's a technician coming around every 2 months to clean it and replace filters. Happy so far...
  9. I guess BK has a new marketing manager in Thailand. Constantly in the news. And I imagine, there'll be AN members saying they want to try this right now. So it seems to be a good investment in marketing.
  10. If you fail on these 3 questions, your access to the bank should be revoked and you should be forced to keep money in your sock.
  11. Were cards in question used before September 2022? Maybe it's from this: https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/hotforsecurity/daixin-ransomware-gang-allegedly-abandons-hack-of-airasia-due-to-airlines-chaotic-network-standards/
  12. These refills, as well as most if not all Brother lasers use styrene-based toners, which are carcinogenic when heated up. But who cares about health, as long as it's cheap, I guess.

  14. Tried to use them, as many of mine expire end of this year - but... nothing available when I tried to search for flights. Maybe only for TG operated direct flights, but no connecting flights. Note that the miles are only for the fare, but you still have to pay for the taxes, surcharges, etc. So in the end a mileage ticket from TG might cost you as much as ticket from another airline without using miles. Good part of it however is that it's valid for a year. So if miles expire end of this year, you can book a flight in December for up to December 2024. And yes - you can book online. Or TG office in Silom (didn't do that since before COVID so not sure that's still option). And you can add up to 5 nominees - you can issue ticket for them in the same way. But if you want to change any name, it'll cost you.
  15. https://www.hp.com/th-en/shop/hp-laser-107w-4zb78a.html Ships next business day, takes 1-2 days to deliver. In stock. Or https://www.ofm.co.th/en/product/hp-laser-printer-107w-white-piece-p.4007258 Also ready to ship and in stock. So if you have OfficeMate there, maybe check it out.
  16. MPEG4 or M4V is usually same, MP4 likely as well. The Sony format is MPEG2 TS, which is intended for transport/stream. It can be converted to MPEG2 PS, which is format intended for storing/playback. Sony has proprietary software which allows you to clip and merge clips and then export them to MPEG2 PS. Though new versions of software might have MPEG4 output option, mine didn't. But Handbrake or VLC with convert to file could let you convert to most formats. There is no difference between MPEG2 and MPEG4 in terms of absolute quality. MPEG4 can just do a much better compression with less quality loss. You can achieve same quality, just MPEG2 file will be much bigger. Never had 3D camcorder so can't comment on how the files look like for that.
  17. Given the figures now (about 10 senators voted for Pita only) I think he stands no chance of getting elected today.
