Sorry but if it's in her name, you don't own it. She's the owner on papers, no matter who paid for it. The odds of sorting this in your favour are very slim, in my opinion. All cards are in her hands. Best outcome might be talking to her nicely. If you're still driving it, don't be nasty to her as she could report car stolen to cops, which would get you in serious trouble.

Most hospitals would know what paperwork needs to be issued in case of medical emergency for immigration. All you need to do is to ask the front desk and they'll arrange it. It needs to however be done before the permission of stay date runs out, not after. There of course can be several situations where simply cannot get on the plane. One thing you must understand though is that the decision on whether to grant you extension and for how long is not up to your doctor but the doctor at the immigration. He won't just take paperwork but will do his own assessment. So if you just get some clinic to write some BS on documents and go to immigration to get extension, that could be, and likely will be, rejected. But unless you're in a life threatening condition, don't expect such extension to be long.

So you're planning to have an emergency? Hmm... Look - there are other ways you can ask for extension of stay, or leave country and come back or alike. But depends on how much of an extension you are looking for? A few days? A few weeks? A few months? Years? If you get poisoning you'll need a hospital to write that you are inpatient and unfit to travel. I know it's also possible to get a letter that you are not fit to travel (or rather get a rejection of it from medics at the airport) which could be used to apply for extension due to inability to travel if your permission to stay is running out. But that's only for a few days, and would have a fee of 1900 baht plus travel expenses, etc. so probably in 4-5k baht, all paperwork and travel included. Is that worth it? What are you really trying to achieve?

Just used it. Subway sandwich was nice... Yes, just went for a sandwich. Will they count me into that quota if I go for another one?

At (at least Chaeng Watthana) Immigration they have a doctor, who can approve extensions based on medical grounds. Normally applicant needs to get documentation from doctor/hospital, then visit immigration where doctor does a checkup and checks the documents and then approves or rejects paperwork. I don't know if it's still there, but there used to be office just after entrance to the room for 90 day reporting (to the left of exit from main hall), first door on the left. I haven't done it myself but I was waiting for hours for 90 days report back in the days, standing right in front of that door, which was left open the whole time...

Darn! You must be the first visitor to tell the truth to IO! Can tell you lived in Japan too long ????

Because he's not 50 yet?

Companies can choose 13 days out of that list. Thai companies make it longer Songkran, Chinese companies longer around Chinese New Year, and western companies focus more around New Year. But nobody (not even government and banks) take all that days off.

Gray filter (that comes standard in Air Filter 3C/3H) is HEPA 11. However you can also get HEPA 12, the black filter. No idea what light blue, green and purple filters conform to, just that light blue is basic (standard with 2S), purple is antibacterial, and green one has an extra carbon filter for formaldehyde capture. Xiaomi didn't invent these products. They took over a Korean company and first generation Xiaomi air purifiers were even made in Korea. However you turn it around, they are Korean/Japanese engineered, equipped with NIDEC fans, which is quite a famous Japanese company. Even design is mostly based on the original Korean design, a little bit changed to match the Xiaomi white with black circle display standard look, but this really should not be counted as a Chinese product. The only stuff Xiaomi really added (apart from marketing and near global reach) was the app integration, mass production and distribution capabilities, and service network.

While not recommending it, (as I've only seen it out the window, never been in it) on the eastern side of terminal building is a pretty neat park... It should be accessible as there's public road running right next to it. That said, given she's there for several hours, Airport Link train into the city or at least away from airport to nearest place you know has nice outdoor seating would be a much better choice in my opinion.

You can contact Lazada support in chat on website (and probably mobile app) and show them the status from seller, and they can terminate and refund quicker. If you got message from Lazada that order was cancelled with apology, then it will be automatically refunded, depending on payment method. In my case refunds were processed in minutes. But yes, it is annoying, and worth to check the seller "ship on time" and reviews before ordering...

Take a quick look at where your air cleaner is manufactured. It's right at the back of it. Good units don't necessarily have large filters, but a multi-layered filters, with last one being HEPA. Size of filter will depend on the cavity/fan size/air throughput, but not quality of air coming out of it. As for a popular Korean brand being built to last... you are an entertainer, right?

I guess you're only talking about Hua Hin? While there was very little activity during COVID (no tourists and such), there were several arrests in Bangkok. More recently, 2 foreigners were escorted out the building neighbouring condo just over a week back - someone complained about smoking on balcony, juristic visited the room, found undocumented tenants, and called the cops. To be fair, they have warning signs all over lobby. No idea what happened with guests, but they didn't return. Taking info from condo's Urbanice app social board. In our condo we have a few rooms renting out rooms on AirBNB, but we usually see same foreigners around for several weeks. They are mostly young couples. All it takes is one resident getting upset and making a complaint, though... And about "there is no law against renting a condo for a short time", I assume you read this: https://www.juslaws.com/articles/renting-out-a-condominium-on-airbnb-in-thailand If a court rules that something is illegal, are you still claiming the law doesn't exist? What basis did the court rule that short term rental violates the hotel act then? Please substantiate with a comment from a law firm at least, not a personal bar stool opinion.

@henrik2000 Any rental shorter 30 days at a condo (or any place without hotel license) is illegal. Worst thing that can happen is any neighbour reporting you to juristic office, and since you cannot register there for less than 30 days (they'll ask for your rental contract), juristic officer calls the cops and accuse you of trespassing, which could land you in jail - like a bunch of Chinese at a (one letter) condo in lower Sukhumvit. Stay in hotel.

I'm shocked! That it is only now, and only 24 districts. Darn it, air has been toxic for a couple of weeks now, and today it looks a lot better than a few days ago...

I've had True (hated them), then 3BB (to get away from True), then AIS (because of Playbox, to get away from TrueVisions), and now... well, True again as they are the only ones that provide high speed (that means over 1Gbps up/down) connection at this condo. While True was pathetic 15 years ago, and 3BB such a breeze to deal with I actually didn't want to cancel their line for nearly a year although I already had AIS fiber... I should say that I have not had much problems with them. A couple of issues when the data center for the area had outage that lasted an hour or so, that's once a year maybe. During that time they gave 5 GB or 10 GB of additional data by code to mobile phone's internet plan... which I never used. But overall, they are responsive, clear in answers, and provide a very fast service. One annoying thing is all in one router (doesn't have that external fiber modem) from Huawei. While it's fast and LAN very reliable, it has drop-outs on WiFi. After True did all they could to bring it down to 1-2 times a day, 10-20 seconds outage (very annoying when it was happening often), I've eventually given up, and got another Wifi router. Absolutely no complaints since. AIS was very good, much cheaper (in package with Platinum TV package) and also very good to deal with. It's just pity they max out at 250 Mbps at my place, else I'd stay with them. Their ZTE router was very fast and reliable. In many years of using their service I've never had a single problem with it. 3BB at least was great years back but no idea how they are now. They did make it easy to return router and cancel the subscription though. ToT was... terrible. Speed was awful internationally, and even locally it never came anywhere near the agreed speed package. CAT not bad at all. Reliable and quite fast. I don't know how this works now that the 2 merged for new customers, but those who were on CAT from before merger, it's actually very fast and reliable.... BUT... they are government company. Meaning, they don't do anything remotely, have to go to their branch during office hours only for ANYTHING. Which is a real pain. Taking a day off just to go talk to your telecom... Don't know if it's any different in Bangkok, but while True/3BB/AIS/True again are in Bangkok, the CAT is not at this place but a bit south. Though... to cancel TOT (True sold my fixed line to TOT some years back, which I never bothered to cancel despite not using it... for that 107 baht a month it wasn't worth a hassle) I had to go to TOT office. That was in Bangkok 2 years back. Never had any other, so can't comment.

First thing to do is contact your credit card company and let them know of situation. They are generally interested in getting the money back, so while they will suspend your card, they would likely come up with a repayment plan so you can return that in monthly installments. But without a job/income, that might be tough for you. During the time of repayment, there is also a fixed interest rate on the outstanding amount that you would need to agree to. Every 6 months credit card company sends a letter to credit bureau, and for the months of suspension they will change status from normal (10) to something else. This will be an issue if you try to get a loan or another credit card in the future. But banks, after you have cleared debt with them, might resume your current card, so at least there's a way out. But of course if you default even on a repayment plan, then bank would likely sell your debt to a collection company, which would be far less understanding.

The only way I can think of it to buy a ticket back home, apply for new passport on the first day you arrive (many countries only need a couple of days to issue a new one), and then fly off to the destination where you would need to go for work anyway, and from there to Thailand if you need to. If you live in Thailand, then entering visa exempt 45 days isn't really the right way. But at the same time - you don't need to worry about any Thai visa or extension transfers as you have none. For other countries, if you have any visas, you'll of course need to get them reissued by that countries' embassies or consulates, as once damaged, it's not common to be able to get it reissued without applying new one. It'll be a bit expensive lesson (depending what your original citizenship is), but probably the fastest way to get this resolved.

Thank you for letting Putin know. Now he can't do much elsewhere, but he now knows Zelensky will probably be taking a train from Poland back to Kyiv. You keep your mouth shut about stuff like this until the man is back home safely. But then... European leaders were tweeting out of train on the way to Kyiv in the middle of bombardment, even saying Russia would not attack train service so it's the safest way to travel... I guess people nowadays are really hungry for publicity and lack any judgement for consequences of their actions...

You like to scare animals and inhale sulfur?

If you get PR, so your permanent residence is within Thailand, you will get Non-quota immigrant visa should you need to re-enter.

The family is at the dining table. The little 10-year-old girl does not eat and has her nose in her plate…. After a few moments, she says, “I’ve something to tell you people.” Silence around the table. “I’m no longer virgin”, and she begins to cry. A long silence again. And then… The father screams at his wife, “It’s your fault! Always dressed and made up like a whore! Do you think you are setting a good example for your daughter. Wallowing the whole day on the sofa, exposing your boobs… it’s disgusting! That’s how problems arrive.” The wife, in turn, yells at her husband, “What about you ? Are YOU setting a good example ? Wasting your salary on sluts who sometimes even accompany you to your doorstep! Are YOU setting a good example for your 10-year-old daughter?” The father continues, “And her elder sister, this good-for-nothing, with her hairy junkie of a boyfriend, who is always groping her in all the corners of the house. Do you believe she is setting a good example for her younger sister?” And the recriminations go on, and on, and on…. The grandmother touches the shoulder of the little granddaughter to console her, and asks her, “Well, my little girl, how did it happen?” And the little girl replies while stifling her sobs, “It’s the priest.” The grandmother asks, "What do you mean, the priest ?” “The priest has chosen another girl to be Virgin Mary in the Christmas play. I’m no longer playing the role of Virgin Mary.”

Do we expect update where Chinese is arrested for not being able to demonstrate the source of income? In Thailand you never know...

That's oxymoron. Increasing rates cools economy.... ??? What's next? Let's continue lowering everyone's salaries until they are rich?
