  1. In worst case immigration office could reject your entry, so have this corrected before you board the plane. You'll get a big VOID stamp over visa and then issued another one (if stickers). Don't know about Thailand, but Schengen embassies usually put a note in passport that it is your task to check correctness of all data on the sticker and to contact them immediately if there are any mistakes found.
  2. Wasn't much of an expert in anything it seems. He could just bake or burn it, certainly not melt it...
  3. I still think Tesla would sell more cars and probably have better reputation, if Elon wasn't associated with it. A divisive figure so closely associated with a brand can't be good for their business.
  4. Lite Beer was quite direct: 1) When you get new passport in Thailand, you can go to immigration office that issued visa and have it transferred (what's left of it) to the new passport. But at the time you get new passport, your old one with visa will be vioded and hence no longer usable as you'll be stamped out on new passport. If you got your passport in Australia, then came back with both of them, you could show both passports to immigration at the airport, and they would stamp you in on old visa rules but stamp new passport. You'd then be able to transfer visa later. But with passport issued in Thailand, you can transfer it before. Then when you're back in April, request an annual extension on new passport. 2) No, but if you transfer visa to new passport, you can request a new 12 months extension. If you lost visa altogether, you'd need to start from scratch. 3) Yes, you could, but only if you did not get new passport yet, and from above I believe you would get a new one before that, which means that passport would be invalidated. Read point 1 above.
  5. There's also Diovan from Novartis. You can buy it at any Watson's, Boots, Fascino pharmacy, or if you want it cheaper, at Diamond pharmacy next to Sirirat hospital entrance. Don't know about Thai generic versions.
  6. Someone just prevented "Democracy" being brought to Thailand in exchange for Lithium?
  7. True, that. But we're in jokes section, so technicalities are often ignored :)
  8. Remember conversation with 2 Thais some 20+ years ago, talking about crazy farang that grill themselves in the sun the whole day to look like peasants...
  9. That's actually quite a good way of punishment. Better than 500 baht fine. Maybe just need a warning sign first.
  10. Nothing to do with the drunken id!ot driving white sedan, then, he's free to go?
  11. At least we're battling. You just let lung cancer win.
  12. That's where it's needed the most, so they can inform next of kin when inevitable happens.
  13. You take Bolt when you have no money, then kill the driver when he asks you to pay for it? And this is app-called driver, so the company knows exactly who ordered it. Indeed, they are a waste of oxygen, for as much as that 2 cells between the ears can use...
  14. Wonder about this one as it has name in Thai only, but the tickets are in Latin letters, so how exactly do they know that it's "matching name to boarding pass"? If airlines knew what first digit of card number stands for, then they could differentiate between those with permanent permissions to stay and those who would need to get extensions (and I'm confident they don't have a clue), but then how would they know that from driver's license? This is pretty useless unless they tie together the immigration and police databases, and link those to check-in computers of airlines.
  15. What happened to the other 9? Skinned, grilled and eaten?
  16. I use different connections for different purposes, mostly for VMWare Fusion, as the 2 networks are connected to different routers, on different subnets. There's selection in each VM settings which adapter I wish to use. I had (not using now) load balancing between 2 different telcos, which was done by using a Microtik NLB. Relatively cheap thing, quite reliable, but not the easiest to set up. My purpose was to have automatic switching between 2 telcos in case one of them went down... until I realised they both connected through the same exchange and it was that exchange that had issue. Since it had only 1 Gbps ports, and routers are 2.5 Gbps it caused significant drop in speed, hence I've removed it now. The UI that I shared just shows all connections you can create and enable, and order in which they are used. If using Ethernet, and having other Apple equipment, it is recommended to enable both Ethernet and Wifi (even if you don't have Wifi connected to any router) so it can be used ad-hoc for AirDrop, for instance.
  17. Strange. Prudential sent me to hospital for a full checkup, and wanted my entire hospital file before deciding on what I had to pay for it or how much they would cover. AIA did the same a long while back, when I was in 20s.
