  1. The entry stamp is free but the transfer of Visa fee is charge by the elite visa for service.
  2. So in Thailand is: He come in kill you he go to jail. He come in you kill him you go to jail. Either way, one should pray hard nobody jump over your fence.
  3. I just renewed my passport thru my embassy in Bangkok. Online application done within 5mins including payment and recent photo upload on 25th Sept. Received email notification for collection on 7th Oct. Collected passport at Sathorn on the 8th... walk in walk out within 5 mins. Now I have to spend a whole morning in Chaeng Wattana for arrival stamp transfer to new passport and a whole afternoon to transfer my Visa to new passport with a 2,000 baht fee. Thailand 4.0? Su Su na! ????
  4. It's simple. Give all foreigners already in Thailand 100M Baht and see how many leaves immediately then you will know if 1M wealthy foreigners is going to come.
  5. I could actually hear many bags packing up once this "rules out going back to the old Thai tourism formula of crowded bars and nightlife" is confirmed.
  6. Changed the name of the soup but the ingredients and herbs remained the same.
  7. I run a small fleet of mobile machinery serving the construction industry... Yes, I'm calling you a liar.
  8. Forget about the tourism industry. Haven't they learn the lesson relying on this? Time to attract foreign investment to build a strong workforce that doesn't get affected much by virus spreading around the world. What if after covid comes covif followed by covit? First step is to scrap the stupid labor compensation act. Working after 3 months get 1 month compensation and after a year get 2 months compensation for each working year. The workforce became ignorant with the longest serving worker has the attitude of fire me if you dare.
  9. https://frederickscompany.com/products/0717-4304-99/ This is the sensor I'm trying to buy. I usually could find most things in Aliexpress... Even the processor chip ST92F150 series, but the little sensor seems so rare in it's application till the point that I could not find a similar replacement too. Not even different brand.
  10. They do not use USPS because they will have to make a trip to the local post office. They only offered UPS or Fedex. Add in their cost of exportation paperwork and stuffs work out to be $225 for a 50g package.
  11. 8lbs is about 3.6kg. Not too expensive in my opinion. Used to send so items to Swiss from Thailand cost about 2,200 baht about the same weight via Thaipost.
  12. No luck at all... it's a on board tilt sensor. Only PCB manufacturer will purchase such a thing and usually in huge amount.
  13. Missing the chance for me... I would gladly pay you $60 for your trouble... So you in Phuket now?
  14. Oh.... Thanked god! I will be contacting you shortly for your address.
  15. That's the intention... have to find a local address for help.
  16. Yup... trying to get help from a friend in US but still unable to locate him. I read that USPS non commercial shipping is about $40 to Thailand for small packages. I have tried everywhere, ebay, aliexpress, amazon, etc. No luck... have to buy from manufacturer. https://frederickscompany.com/products/0717-4304-99/ This is the sensor I'm trying to buy.
  17. I believe it's the former. They are trying to sell it on their door as they mentioned to send fedex to their door step will be the best. They will get it pack and ready for collection. usps indicated about $40 small parcel mail to thailand 6-10 business days. $225 is a bit steep. I can't complaint because they are manufacturer selling in the thousands of units and I managed to persuade them to sell me a few for my board repair.
  18. Hi Americans, I need to purchase a sensor for a PCB repair from Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. The postal service worked up to about $225 for a $20 sensor. The sensor is only 1/4 of my pinky finger. The seller did warned me about the S&H is going to be expensive and hoping that I have a local address to ship against. I believe fellow Americans do post parcel to Thailand from time to time. May I know if you have any cheaper alternative advise I could follow?
  19. It's so confusing... exactly who is the kettle and who is the pot?
  20. A professor in psychology named Joseph Ferrari got a million search hits thanks to Joe Ferrari in Thailand.
