  1. You'll need to go back twice. There would probably be about 2 weeks between first time, making appointment, and going for actual renewal. On the day of appointment you'd go to same counter to confirm appointment, before sending you to 2nd floor, where you'll get the queue (might be possible to just skip the counter and go straight to 2nd floor - didn't try). There you'll get documents checked and a form checked that all information is correct. Sign, and go another floor up for physical check. There could be some waiting but once inside the room, it's 10 min to complete all, get all stamps and signatures and back to 2nd floor to wait your queue. The photo is taken there and license issued. In total it took about 45 minutes, if I remember correctly, from walking into building to walking out with license in hand. I was 20 min early for appointment but was accepted immediately, so it's not like you have to wait for the queue on appointment date. But on same date? Not terribly likely. There was a French accent foreigners arguing with the counter on ground floor that he needs license immediately as the old one expires the next day, and I was listening to that for about 15 minutes while waiting for my queue, but officer had no sympathy for him at all. He was still holding everyone else up and arguing by the time I've left. Others just took appointment 2 weeks later. PS: I went to Bang Chak first, as that's where I got my 2 year license issued, and after making appointment for 6 months later, I was told I should actually go to Chatuchak as my address is outside their area. Great they didn't accept me,... in retrospect. Hope this helps.
  2. In person, ground floor, building 4, on the right side after walking in the front door. There are 2 counters for foreigners on the left. After checking documents and making sure all is in order, they'll give you a piece of paper for first available date, and ask you to put your name in there along with your passport or pink ID number, and phone number. That's your date and time of appointment. They are all for the morning only, it seems. At least a month back, the queue was about 2 weeks. You'll be given application form there, and fill it out in front of the counter while the officer is checking your documents. They'll then be stapled together and stamped. The rest of documents listed are already posted by someone else. There were a few in a queue at 1 pm when their lunch break was over, but there was nobody at 10 am, walked straight to counter. So I'd say 10 am was good, but even normally there were not many people. Yes, upon completion it states that it is valid 6 months. At least Thai version is. That's just answering 4 questions correctly from a multiple choice answers. No idea how the foreigner version looks like.

  4. At TG, A380 simulator, but can't book when pilots are training on it, obviously. A bit pricey but worth it. One of credit cards companies just offered 3k baht discount per booking.
  5. I could think of a few 25 million baht houses that are available for sale. But foreigner can only own house, not the land, and no loan. Paying cash?
  6. I mean given they are asking for people to invest millions of dollars to get long term visas, maybe 1999 baht per month is not going to fly. How about 199,999 baht per month? Please don't give Thai government ideas you all might regret later.

  8. Has Tony just awaken from the dead? After years of relative silence, he's in the news every day now...
  9. AFAIK, the border is closed for foreigners, no day passes issued (according to someone who lives in Mae Sai).
  10. Yes, they have pet names also. The top one is called Phone and bottom one is PowerBank...
  11. Opposite Siriraj hospital, Diamond Pharmacy.
  12. I don't have FB. Used to have it until about 10 years back. Now I receive SMS nearly daily with some code to login. Had I not had a dual factor authentication, that person/s would have logged in and started scamming others in my name. I know of people selling all kind of stuff with stolen accounts, then disappearing, and sending police to homes of those whose accounts were hacked. Security questions and OTP are there for a reason.
