  1. SunExpress Airlines - https://www.sunexpress.com/ Used to fly with them. Didn't get any snakes in meal and thought they weren't bad at all. It's a joint venture of Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines.
  2. Found something about fuel pump related recalls late 2021 from US, and it was a part manufactured by Denso, so it affects many different brands of car, not only Mazda. However seems car is even worse off after replacement than before it. See this: https://www.torquenews.com/1083/advice-mazda-cx-5-owners-about-deal-fuel-pump-recall
  3. Usually backwards compatible but not necessarily supporting bands you need for your telecom.
  4. OK, so all done is useless. Let me recommend that the bent cops get rehired into immigration. Joe Ferrari would be great in charge of annual extensions.
  5. That's probably a bigger problem than addiction to women. Women will get uglier or more expensive as you age, but your liver cirrhosis will make it hard for you to have any enjoyment with them.
  6. Stop drinking and your problem might go away.
  7. If you cut your booze and bang, you'll easily live on a lot less.
  8. Given how many posters claim COVID is over, it's mild cold, "stop this nonsense already", etc. I see no reason why anyone should be given any COVID extensions. They should already end. There's no pandemic anymore. Even Thais are taking masks off. Farang refused to wear them anyway. It's over. It's time for COVID extensions to be over as well.
  9. Falang on this forum need not worry. According to their patriotic posts, most are immune to everything.
  10. Unless you would boycott leaving due to double pricing and discrimination on the transport out of Thailand?
  11. Happening everywhere. ATMs are disappearing, branches are closing, banking is moving to mobile phones and internet banking sites. But if that National Digital ID, apparently required for banking spreads to mobile transactions, non-Thais would have very limited banking options left.
  12. With so much sun, wind and so many rivers in Thailand, it could use this opportunity to invest in sustainable energy and electrify transportation, which would significantly lower the demand for fossil fuels.
  13. The rest I agree with but the highlighted bit: It was Thai, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and many others that flew over Ukraine just before Malaysia Airlines got shot down. Additionally, Qatar flights from Doha to US were flying over Russia just months back, during Russian invasion of Ukraine, but have since rerouted to fly over Saudi Arabia and Israel, following warming of relations in the Middle East. So while I agree with the rest, the above bit is factually wrong.
  14. Yes, I had it for years. Honestly I prefer the booklet. This is a DWP application for a phone, where you're given password and then use the ... was it email address? I think it was email address... and that password to register in the app. It's a 2 page WP lookalike with a QR code that keeps changing. If you scan that code it takes you to labour ministry website and shows all the details to print out. But it's a hassle as many places want a paper one, and then on changing phone, all settings are gone and you need to re-register it. On the flip side, getting it extended takes 20 minutes of taking a new photo and updating the date (at One stop center at Chamchuri square at least). https://apps.apple.com/th/app/thailand-digital-work-permit/id1286605356 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doe.dwp&hl=th&gl=US
  15. I just closed it. Logged in, then under Account Settings chose Close account. It warned that if I proceed, it's irreversible and I clicked Close account button again - and it was gone. Received mails of all the "contracts" being cancelled (like eBay, Skype and other auto-pay options I've added over the years), and that was it. If you want to get rid of it, it's actually very easy. Not like social media...
  16. 1 listed there for non-Thais needs a word of caution: The Alien Identification Card only has name in Thai, so your plane ticket would need to be issued in Thai name. You can't use Pink ID to check into flight if ticket carries name in Latin. Was told this by a friend who tried to use it, but could eventually find his passport. I was surprised to find a work permit listed. Wonder if digital work permit is accepted...
  17. I got the same in their FAQ and proceeded to close my account. Question I have is whether this NDID would become mandatory to make transactions on regular bank accounts? If yes, that would be a major hassle.
  18. Thank you for this. Went to read the conditions - you need Thai ID card to proceed. I don't have it. So I just went to close Paypal altogether.
  19. Same here alas applied years ago. Maybe it's a random thing but I know several who applied, even just 1-2 years ago, and none ever got any visit. Not that we'd know, anyway. Maybe they only visit if something looks fishy in the documents provided at application?
