  1. I wouldn't say delighting is the correct term. The marketing guys at BK TH need to rethink these monstrosities unless they are taking the proverbial - in which case they need to come clean quick. Until I see an improvement I wont' be going to a branch outlet again.
  2. Driving a car built on dreams does not inspire me. I would prefer one built on solid science. Also who came up 'Dolphin' for a car model name? How on earth does this attract buyers? If they cannot get the names to convince, I am concerned about what the build is like?
  3. I did that but it didn't work this time after several successful online reports for a new reason. I wrote about it on the main thread.
  4. I made a screen shot and entered exact same address data for several online 90 day reports which were all approved. The last one was REJECTED and I got an email to attend CW immediately. Sounded rather serious so I went. When I asked why I was rejected the IO said I entered part of my text for address on one input box called Address Number when I should have put it under Soi/Road box below. My address has TWO sois in it as I live on a smaller sub soi and the web site is not really set up for that. So I was dragged in simply because I put text in the wrong input boxes but the complete text was correct and nothing missing. This led me to wonder if the REJECT email and checking is done by a real IO person or some computer? Surely no reasonable person could be so petty? I asked why all my previous online applications were OK but this one which was done exactly the same was not and the IO said it was because I had re-entered the country! With that I smiled and left as I realized there is simply no hope.
  5. My NT bill is always done online and on time.
  6. Not the task bar, the task manager.
  7. First thing I check is task manager?
  8. It says Credit Card on the account ! It also gets accepted at places needing deposit guarantees such as airlines, hotels and car rentals where an ATM debit card does not. It's been a big help since my country of citizenship no longer will give me a credit card with a Thai home address.
  9. What's an AT card? I was given a perfectly functioning Platinum Visa Credit card by KBank. No job needed here. All you need is a bank deposit with them to the amount of credit you plan to use.
  10. I just had my 90 day online report entered online using the web site on Monday and then today waiting 5 days got the rejected answer without any explanation from CW. So now I have to go there in person and waste a whole day getting there and back. I have used online reports successfully for several years and I am still on the same passport, visa and home address that I own. The only thing slightly different this time is I traveled internationally four times over the past year so my last online 90 day report was just approved over a year ago on 2 July and I haven't needed to do one again until now.
  11. There seems to be a web site or sorts called https://www.threads.net but you can only read stuff on it and need a mobile app to like or reply lol!
  12. Does not even work on a PC without an Android emulator. I will stay with TweetDeck.
  13. You can buy keyboards online for under 150THB, I just bought one and thought nothing of it for the price if its junk I would toss it. Turns out as per reviews online its just fine and for the money cannot be beat!
  14. Must depend where you look? Where we live there are more shops and ATMs than I have ever seen, even as many now use smart phones to pay for stuff.
  15. Why would anyone buy something when they don't know what it is?
  16. What about exit-rentry permits for those on one year extensions?
  17. A desktop, the new mini desktops are smaller than a laptop! Fit to the back of any screen. Cheaper alternative if you don't need a laptop. I just bought one for 5000THB and it runs as fast as my 50,000THB laptop!
  18. Its had a GUI for many years now, as easy to follow on Windows. Yes, but only with an enabling application like 'Wine' installed, and the Windows programs may not run as smooth or at all. Easy with many apps coming with the system for free or downloadable free. That said I dumped my Linux PC (the hardware was 10 years old) for a newer machine and it runs Win11 and overall I find Win11 more user friendly and suited to my background of using Windows based apps for many years.
  19. I phoned head office KBank about refund of the WHT after giving the bank branch my Thai tax ID#, but they said there was no option for refund or any way they could help as it is now the law. Not sure if a second opinion needed, but with the amounts involved I am not bothered.
  20. I didn't find that case. I have previously used Shipito because Amazon only delivered my laptop product to a US address at the time. That went well, I got a tax free laptop to Thailand from Shipito with 7% import fees ontop of my declared cost and Fedex fee, about 120USD extra in my case door to door inside 5 days. The next time Amazon was shipping direct to Thailand so I chose them for the next laptop. I had to pay Amazon taxes and delivery fees for Thailand without choice of courier and it was an extra 200USD. The courier Amazon appointed was UPS and on arrival at BKK cargo airport UPS had a policy of not releasing anything until I went in person, or appointed rep, with passport as ID, so that wasted some time and would have been very inconvenient had I been based upcountry. Next time I will revert to Shipito.
  21. In our condo the outside walls of our unit along with the balcony walls are part of the main building and responsibility of the community to keep maintained. Several times I have seen the condo building painters covering the outer walls and balcony walls.
  22. Well you've cleared up that you won't move but you ask us if we would take it without saying what it is or the T&C. No one would take a job based on the info provided.
  23. Word, Excel and Powerpoint and web browsing that the o/p mentioned run very nicely on latest Win11. I just bought a 5000THB mini desktop PC which is smaller than my laptop and comes with WIn11 Pro. Excellent performance and value for money. The latest Windows just gets better IMHO.
