And good luck to the man on the speaker....

 

We all know everybody is going to continue to call it "LoDud"... Some might have a crack at reading the 's and call it "LoDuDud" one time, but that just kind of feels like you're in this weird kind of infinite loop... 2Dud just don't feel like enough. "LoDuDud Dud"

of course, their "lotus's "is ridiculus, I don't like, it's not beautiful and of course, like every body I shall continue to say " lo tat " ( excuse for the phonetics, I use it as I hear it in my language , I don't know how to write in English phonetics ) 

Before, Thai people said " lo tat " , because there is no " s " sound at the end of a syllabe  in their language ( they even have problems to pronouce them in needed " ) 

if when in the shop, you listen to the guy who speaks in the microphone, you will notice that he stresses on the " s " at the end, because it's not natural for Thai people, I think that the double "s" on the new name is to express that's it's now " lo tas " and not "lo tat " as before 

Are you sure it's "balanitis " ?  I got one last year ( it's what doctor said , didn't know this  name before )  

he gave me prescription of amoxilin / clavulanic 10 tablets 1000 mg ( take 2 a day )

gone in five days !

I think I got infection from washcloth ( beware, washcloth are full of microbs ) 

Seen from outside, it seems to be a normal car ; why is it so expensive ? because of the name " Bentley " ?

when I was hitchhiking in my country, one day a guy stopped for me with a Bentley : I admit I was surprised and impressed , but 30 million bahts, too expensive for what it is 

Three years ago, I opened a fixed deposit at SCB, 1.85 %  , 800000 bahts 

Yesterday, I got the interests : 44400 bahts minus 6600 bahts of taxes ( refund next year ) , i.e 37774 bahts net :   I use it only for immigration

now, with the same fixed deposit, I have for three more years at 0,65 % 

I thought to open a new 3 years account, but now they are only at 0.40 %

May be open a new deposit in an other bank, but will they accept a new customer only for deposit ? because I want to stay at SCB, only 4 kms from my home 

ps: SCB EZ Savings account, one million bahts, does it work for immigration ? because my two goals are to have interests, but first, to show the account for my visa extension

thank you

For retirement those are the normal requirements along with a few forms they may have you fill out and sign in office (Bangkok has about 4 now).  Expect they might want a map to home (which you can draw if not have).  Believe 4 will include the normal bank letter of account.  Some will want proof of address (TM30 or rent paperwork).  

I have all the documents you say, but I will present only the documents they ask : the staff has changed, the horrible boss has gone and I hope that things will be better, as before when I was in Hua hin : no harassment 

new appointment for  april 7 th, 11 am 

very easy ! I don't believe, they ask almost nothing for the extension ! finished tons of paper ?

here is what they write with the "your booking is confirmed " 

all the copies of the same documents than the years before are finished ? 

ok, I shall go  myself without appointment and see what they say  ( at the end of this year for me )

I use "retirement" and when used marriage extension used "Thai wife".  Have no idea what you are asking in final sentence.  

When  we change passport, it's the duty of immigration to transfer the old passport to the new : how to have an appointment for this ?

Appointment should not be mandatory

Which immigration office? 

You don't be late for appointments. 

Thanks ubonjoe for the links ( I am in Prachinburi ) and the responses 

"you don't be late for appointments "  : what does is mean ? that I have no right to be late ? 

more questions : for retirement, it 's " retirement purpose " ?,   and for mariage, " permitted family purpose " ? 

and, for instance, transfer passport or other acts ? 

I shall ask for an appointment the 7 th april, but at 11 am 

now, it will be one week before the due date., mandatory  ? because, it seems we can ask any time, they give the calendar from today 

Hello, so far I went to immigration ( for extension ) one month before the due date

this year, I went 3 weeks  before ( today, in fact ) and I was told to take an appointment for april 7, one week before due date 

I have heard of the apointement, but my immigration has so few farangs that I thought it was not for us

after all, is it mandatory for every body in Thailand ? 

I suppose next year I can have an appointment on line : I forgot where is the link to take appointment , can I have it ? 

thank you !   appointment is at 9 am , impossible, I must go and ask the bank letter before and immigration is 25 from the bank : is it a problem to be late ? let's say, 10 h 15 ?

thanks 

I was in Bang sen a month ago, and I have seen children (  boys  and girls, let say 8-10 years old ) selling goods to the tourists on the beach ; don't know if there is a correlation with the gangs above 

May be good for RB, but but what does this information has to do with asean now ? I don't understand why this guy is a star in Thailand and why talk about it here ?

True for HP; my  printer  doesn't accept non HP cartridges 

thanks for  all these informations, so many different printers ! but I admit that after all, I can choose a Brother laser printer

I posted a link to Lazada Brother Printer in the 2nd post

I know, I have seen it  ;  I asked recom 273 

maybe a mod could change the title, because now we speak of " laser printers "  or " brother laser printers "

If you mainly print in black then I would go for a LASER Printer

 

Edit: Something like this. Is an all-in, and has wifi and can do scan and copy!

ok, I know Brother is good, too : there is only toner to change ? easier than ink !

About 2 years ago, I bought a brother Wifi laser printer - never looked back, I only print in B/W. I think it was 2500B.

 

I just bought my first toner refill, 199B. I also discovered you can have the toner tanks refllled.
 

 

 

same answer than above, I can consider  buying  a Brother laser ; do you have a link , please ?

Hello, I am used to HP ( before, Epson ) desk jet printers ; mine gets old now and I intend to buy a ink tank printer, HP or Canon ; for one time, I would like to try Canon 

there are some at Lazada and Invadeit , which one do you recommand ( my firs desire is save money with ink ) ? between 5000 and 10000 bahts , which lasts long 

I don't print much and especially in black

thanks

I’ve never have made (or had to make) any deposit in my fix account when I obtain the bank letter. My passbook is updated at the time I request the bank letter which matches then the passbook. 

you are lucky, not like this with SCB, you have to put and take money to have an update 

Prachinburi I.O 

thanks for the answers, but my fixed deposit is finished on march 21 ; 800000  bahts can stay on the account even after this date  ?  

Hello, I have a fixed deposit of 800000 bahts for three years and my interests are paid on march 21 , it means than it will be more than 800000 bahts ; I have to do my extension about at march 25 ; how does it work for the update ? 

Is there a problem with the immigration ? can I have an update of more than 800000 bahts and an update at march 25 even if my date is finished ( stop on march 21 )  ? I am little bit anxious, my immigration boss is not cool at all

thank you 

I have an Nmx for three years, very satisfied, I save money with it, compared to the Honda wave 

I don't know the Aerox,  but the things I don't like with Nmax is that suspension is not very good, degraded road unpleasant, especially for passenger, and at very slow speed , turning 90 degrees is not easy, because  pretty heavy bike ;

apart this, long trips are  very comfortable , never any problems

yes, three months after last injection ( in this case, Moderna was the last one, in november  ) 

i just did a rapid test this morning, because my wife has covid ( hospital now, but doesn't seem very sick ) ; negative 

 I think i shall get an injection end of april in Bangkok ( and vote in same time for presidental  election , april 24 th ) 

Hello, 

French embassy tells us there is this month and april a third campaign ( after Janssen and Moderna, it's now Pfizer )

good, but I wonder if it's very necessary now , with Omicron ... I know several people who will not do it 

I still hesitate : what do you think ? useful or not, too late or not, efficient or not ? thanks
