If the builders were using water to clean up their brushes, they were using acrylics.

Tramadol is an opiate, not an over-the-counter drug. 

Can buy them by the box around my Isaan town. But, haven't tried to purchase any this year; maybe stricter now.

My bank ATM card is frozen as well, can't withdraw money as well as app not working.

I used to only get 5 year passport extensions because long ago Imm used to get upset with too many stamps in the book, so this time got a 10 year passport and Aus embassy said get a 5 yr one as you're old already. 555

Today registered by phone number with my new passport.

1. Got together: new passport, old passport, pink Falang ID card, bankbook and phone.

2. Go to mobile phone provider where they installed a new SIM card (same phone number) and linked my new passport to my phone number, then got a copy of a bill showing the new passport number and phone number.

3. To the bank and signed about 10 copies of various forms and a few self photos. (As is a small branch, took about 2 hours to tie everything together. Main problem was the pink ID card.) Also gave them the copy of bill showing new passport number and phone number.

Bank issued a new bankbook.

4. Wait 3 days before I can use the bank app.

Whoever dreams these schemes up?

Since there's communication stuff in there too, I'd look at getting a pre-made extension.

Yes, I thought about that after I posted it. Bit difficult to join those comm cables.

Maybe the Feyee company may have extensions.

Or could just reverse in when parking, seeing I don't drink anymore since Saturday. 😉

No, I think his original registration with the privider doesn't match with the registration when he was first time in the bank. Another thing, maybe different phone numbers.

 

U OK? 

Same phone number, new passport, that is the problem.

The bank hotling I contacted on Saturday had me confirm my phone number and to register it with my new passport.

Can't believe that a Hotel Stay and TM30 Report to Immigration is the reason, all Banks been closed during long weekend. Sounds to me more that your names of SIM Card registration and Name of Bank Account doesn't fit and your Online Banking was blocked for this reason like for many other people at the moment as missed the deadline.

No. Registered a while ago. Rang the bank and they said my phone number was not registered with my new passport. Come to the bank with passports and phone number docs from the provider. 🙂

I remember the registration because my phone number was in my wife's name as I usually only carry my Thai ID and they wanted my passport so they registered it in my wife's name.

The bank sent a message (this is when the new rule came in) and said would have to change the name to my name, so done and dusted long ago.

I believe the caption is missing:

Or words to that effect.

Now I can change thumbs up to 555. 🙂

Feyree all working and connected to the Tuya app. 

Only test charging at 16A @208V. Have to rearrange my power feed to the garage and check my old AVR as don't seem to be working properly.

I really need about 2m more for the charge cable length.

Someone said to splice another length into the cable and I 'll have a look at that option.

I remember there used to be a Thai health minister supporting all the non smoking agenda, but he was a chain smoker and his room was always a cloud of smoke.

Like most of my mates who never stopped smoking, he's gone too.

I think the real lesson here is register and test the charging apps you might need well before a long journey.

 

Plug'n'Charge takes all the hassle out of charging, this means you plug in and it starts charging automatically, you get 24 hours to pay your bill afterwards, available at Reversharger (eg BYD) and PTT, maybe others but I haven't tried.

Everything was working until I booked into the hotel Friday arvo. That's when the hotel must have informed immigration about The Farang staying there and they then must have informed the bank to disable my bank app.

I don't know how disabling a bank app is going to effect criminals. I can still use the bank card.

On my way to sort it out at the bank today I will try and withdraw some money with the card.

So what have you learned from this episode?

1. How I love my Ev.

2. Great people at 7/12.

3. Don't take strong back painkillers with 3000 beers.

4. EV charging cabinets are not locked and you can just reach inside and reset tripped breakers.

5. If you ring the EV problem line and they don't answer, just keep ringing and they will.

6. If someone presses the EV charger big red STOP button it opens the main breaker in the cabinet, so it must/should reset after a time period or else the cabinet is off-line.

7. To trouble shoot inside the EV cabinet use your phone camera in conversation with the Help Desk (they also speak English.

All good, charged OK Pay later.

Sometime before when I received the car I must have set up EV PTT charger with my bank so the charge was paid for when the charge finished, therefore I didn't really need the bank app.

Also when I was working with the 7/11 lady sometime the ringing the EV charger help number was answered and sometimes not.

Usually not a problem,drive slow and you will have power left over when you get home.

I tried it in an EV,driving slower and accelerating slower gave me and extra 108 km.

This was starting with a full charge.

Hello. Yes was driving slowly, aircon off, windows open, music off and feet of the floor ( to lower the weight) and the kms were getting better all the time, until I found a working charger.

Twas interesting that BYD God kept closing the windows.

All good, charged OK Pay later.

Went to BYD to use their charger but no charger at BYD.

Decided to drive towards Yang Talat to met wifey and stop at PTT to charge.

First station broken, next station plugged in an EV charger came up with alarm and wouldn't let me pull the cable out, so with the great help from the 7/11 manager and contact with EV charger phone number reset a couple of breakers in the cabinet, that kept tripping, but now charging. 

So hopefully I can swipe my KBank card or pay later to get the cable out.

Wifey thinks you have to pay first to get the cable out. Will see.

Home is 241 km away, BYD app battery says a range of 242 km, so should I chance it?   Yeah.....Nu.

Worst case I can get Wifey to drive to Kalasin BYD with her KBank card and meet her there.

Only problem is the EV charging, hopefully BYD is open here on Sunday and if all else fails I can probably con BYD into charging the car and give them some money.

You would think there must be more than 1 way of paying for a charge.

I can fix the other up at the bank on Monday.

KBank emergency phone number said take my internet provider paper and my 2 passports to the bank and they will register my phone number with the new passport.

Only the app has been blocked, evidently KBank card still works.

A quick weekend trip to Nong Kai.

Because my 1 year extension is due in September and my passport runs out during the extension I got a new passport.

Being oldish I wasn't thinking about the hotel I booked into letting immigration know, so ended up my KBank app. has been cancelled.

Now I use my app to scan and pay for my EV charging which I now can't do.

The bank says it will take 3 days to unblock my app.

Hopefully the EV charger has a tap-and-pay or ..... maybe I can use my Aussie credit card to pay for the charge.

Bit stuck for answers at the moment, so will go the BYD (hopefully they have one here) to charge the car and see what happens.

Don't get old and have a tiff with SWMBO. 🙂

First thing i do before booking into any hotel.... have a good look around at safety features and ask the staff where emergency exits are.

555 the staff or manager will tell you they have the door escape key and will open it incase of an emergency. 🙂 Maybe the fire escape doors aren't locked but you have to check the door to the street is open.

Maybe it's just me and the cheap hotels I stay at. 🙂

You can get M to F cables (I have 2) but if you use them as an extension cable, they won't lock together.

Hi, don't quite understand. 🙂

The connector on the charger is male, the connector on the car is female, so plug the male charger cable into the female extension, then the male extension goes into the car.

(making me all horny now with this dirty talk).

Why won't they lock together?

3 phase EV charger installed.

Just have to reroute my phase power then all set. Only using 1 phase as that's all I wired the garage for, but eventually will use all the 3 phases to the house.

Because I used a power outlet that I ran with 6m2 cable when I wired the garage, I had to mount the charger at that point, but the charge cable could be another 1 or 2 m longer. Anyone know if you can buy a cable extension?

Feck me thats ordinary.

As I remember it, to get the large trucks to Pattaya they had to get permission from the big boss, but he was unavailable until much later.

Had fire trucks at the fire running out of water because other water tankers were filling up on the same water line.
