  1. If you're worried, use Incognito mode on new window for important stuff, or Private Window in Firefox. These make the page run in a sandbox, even copy/paste in and out of them doesn't work.
  2. When I see your title about Thais running to hospitals for every little problem they should be handle by themselves, I wonder, what is it with expats and visa agents? No matter how small the problem is, always calling up an agent. Should I open a separate thread for that?
  3. I know this is in bad taste for the deceased but... Crazy woman! From linked article: Mr. Tu Maneewan, a station master and a witness, told associated Thai media, “The train was coming, so I dropped the barrier in advance. I saw a black sedan waiting behind another car.” The officer carried on, “Then the sedan suddenly overtook that car, crashed through the barrier, and tried to outrun the train.” The sedan, however, failed miserably and got hit by the train in the middle and was dragged over 500 meters.” Was that a suicide or attempt to end it for all in the car?
  4. Thinking of sending you there with a straw... outside the box green thinking...
  5. Drunken man would not even remember his own passcode, let alone someone else's one...
  6. Red book and blue/white book aren't connected. You need to have blue book from immigration before you can get red book. But while red book needs to be extended every 1/5 years, the blue one does not. If you change passport details, or address, immigration doesn't need to be informed, and in fact even you made a trip there, they'll tell you they don't care about that - information will be updated when you replace blue book. Now the re-entry permit (actually a non-quota immigrant visa and endorsement) is not in any way related to your red book. So when you get that non quota immigrant visa for another year, that won't automatically extend your red book and vice versa. So, you'll need to go to police station to extend your red book. AND you'll need to go to immigration to get your new 1 year non-quota immigrant visa. Each whenever it expires, or for the visa earlier, if you plan to make a trip that would get dangerously close to visa expiry or beyond it. The red book you can extend up to 3 months early, but should be done before it expires. The visa you can apply for whenever practical. If you don't plan to travel anywhere in next year, you don't need to get it.
  7. In Thailand you generally have sizes of Single, Queen and King size. Those are a few cm different in IKEA, and generally don't fit well when mixed together. Simply IKEA is using EU sizes, and Thailand uses UK sizes. For example, IKEA single bed frames measure 200cm x 90 cm while UK singles measure 190×90 cm.
  8. total amount of invested by the victims of the scam was estimated at about 439 million baht over a short period of time. Divide this by 50,000 and you'll see the number of "stupid and greedy" !diots that fell for it...
  9. Minimum 2000 baht, but no maximum set. My colleague got 2000 baht fine and we didn't argue.
  10. The immigration likely would not know that your work permit was cancelled, and that therefore extension should have been cancelled. As you never informed immigration, and it's unlikely anyone else bothered, absolutely nothing would happen. They'd stamp you in on the extension of stay.
  11. Apologies. I have no experience on 2013 Civic, but there were many Prius owners (2011-2014) that complained their cars had ... whatever the box that charges battery ... died soon after unofficial battery replacement, and the cost of that part was 200-300k baht. Technology of both is similar so I would saw it might be better to replace from Honda than elsewhere. Unsure about the cost of battery but 70-80k baht seems to be average price for hybrid batteries of that age of Japanese hybrid cars.
  12. Technically, you were supposed to cancel your extension of stay after cancelling the work permit within 7 days. BOI issues DWP but if you had a paper booklet, it's something like that written at the back. As such, even if it's technically still valid, it should have been voided. You might not have an issue entering Thailand on it, but you sure will when you apply for new work permit and new extension of stay. Last time I was doing this for a colleague, they sent us straight to police station to pay fine before they'd process any documents.
  13. Me neither but now I also realise I got it all wrong. You don't wear mask to protect yourself from getting infected from others, but wear a mask to prevent others to get infected from you. So I'd guess infected members probably don't really care if they infect anyone else... SARS or HIV.
  14. I guess all of you anti-maskers never wear a condom with a prostitute. I mean, it's not mandated. Why don't you demand your rights to get infected there? Nobody dies of HIV either. It's the other diseases that kill you if you have it untreated. So what's the difference?
  15. Wasn't hybrid Civic just released with 10 year battery warranty? If this is about 2022 model, replacement should be covered by warranty. Else... Asked friend at Honda, official repair is about 80k baht.
  16. IKEA has their own sizes on some of the items, like beds, so if you buy a bed frame from them, often you need to buy the mattress and bedsheets from them as well. Otherwise their quality is good. Bought their kitchen and all except their counter tops was good.
  17. Mine was in English and French, but then it had a bunch of papers stapled in it with translation to many languages, including Thai. When getting it, I was told by the lady issuing me with it that there were 2 types of it and she had to look up which one Thailand recognised. It was only 1 year validity one, not the ... whatever the other one was... 2 years, 3 years, don't know. But as said, the one I've got had Thai translation stapled in.
