I haven't tried Bolt before. Just installed app it looks easier than Grab. Are the prices it quotes fixed? What happens if traffic is jammed and takes longer?

Renewal Of 5 Year Driver's License
Digitalbanana replied to patsfangr's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
You don't need any online booking to go to Bangkok DLC. I was in and out within 1hr 30m doing just walk in earlier this month. It might have been faster still if they had a few more working at the card machines, they have 8 only one was worked. -
Why can’t we watch the Premier League earlier in Asia?
Digitalbanana replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think the point is as correctly stated below: So the op is stretching the facts to fit the agenda (with which I have some agreement) by saying: Fact is most games will kick off 3pm UK time. -
UK Passport Renewal New Blue Passports
Digitalbanana replied to prakhonchai nick's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Just looked at my old UK pp from the early 1980's with the hard blue cover before we had EU style passports and they had English and French in them as well. -
No injuries after Nok Air 737-800 slides off Thai runway
Digitalbanana replied to KhunBENQ's topic in Chiang Rai
Should have added I expect the pilot was doing the best he could in an airport ill equipped for such an incident. -
No injuries after Nok Air 737-800 slides off Thai runway
Digitalbanana replied to KhunBENQ's topic in Chiang Rai
I am just reading the observations of pax on board who said "they had trouble breathing as the air circulation was off and were left in the dark.". Sorry, but a runway excursion incident is a uncontrolled crash into the dirt off the runway. What else could it be described as? As you were not there (presumably) why be so unconcerned about it? The authorities won't be, latest news is they have summoned the pilot to explain himself. -
Mine expired last April and my queue number comes up in Sept. Join the queue.

Digitalbanana replied to KhunBENQ's topic in Chiang Rai
So you would rather sit in an aircraft that has crashed with no air circulation or lights on than go outside asap eh? I am more in this camps opinion https://www.thaienquirer.com/42274/opinion-nok-air-keeping-the-passengers-on-a-skid-off-plane-for-more-than-an-hour-is-inexcusable/ -
KK WEBCARD ...Is it still active ?
Digitalbanana replied to david555's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Thanks, I am not clear on this. Can you register for a new KK web card when old one expires or not? Mine expires next month so wondering how as I have same message you outlined in red above saying 'will be available soon'. -
KK WEBCARD ...Is it still active ?
Digitalbanana replied to david555's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Where? -
Last time I checked KBank has many different types of credit card each with their own T&C. I have had one of them for over a year and found they do pretty much what it says on the tin. Like yours I have to make a minimum 12 purchases per credit card year or face an annual fee. The payments can be for anything (even under 20THB), but must be at least 12 times.

Rejected at CW
Digitalbanana replied to JerseytoBKK's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You mean on a dedicated account for immigration with only interest payments for whole year the bank book rolls all this into one if updating the book once a year? -
Rejected at CW
Digitalbanana replied to JerseytoBKK's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, but it will be more than two lines. There will be two entries for interest every six months, two more for WHT every six months (unless you can avoid it somehow) and on the day you extend you are supposed to make a small deposit and maybe withdrawal in the account as well? -

I tried this with KBank at CW, showed them my color prints of 12 months statements I made from online app, and was told the bank would not sign any of that. Only a statement made by them can be signed. Makes sense (if I think like a Thai) as its an extra 200THB service fee for them and no chance of a falsified online statement from me to be checked in detail. I have since got a dedicated savings account for Immigration so will just use bank book copies in future approved with bank letter, with no need for statements. -

When I went to CW last year with my own printed out one year bank statement I was told its not accepted. Must be from the bank teller and costs 200THB inc their signature and rubber stamps. I use KBank and the bank gives a one year statement on the spot, not waiting 3-4 days palaver. -
That's odd, when I log in the car reg, type and color are listed.
