  1. It's not about linking, the mobile phone companies already has your name, the forced mandatory ID of sim card activation years back during car bomb panic try opening a new number and see how far you get without ID
  2. if the shop uses POS terminal to receive the QR transfer, like when the punch in the amount and you scan, rather than that you have to punch in the amount yourself, it could be up to the shop's bank which might be Kasikorn that don't work every midnight
  3. I rarely find Bangkok bank QR not working at midnight, Kasikorn on the other hand seems to be reliably down every night at midnight,
  4. Ma Ornnapa, she got cancelled a few years back
  5. "within the timeframe of being accepted as resident" could mean for the duration stated on rental contract keyword being พักอาศัย rather than เข้าเมือง where permission of stay were given
  6. Which bank are you with? Most Thai banks phased out internet banking via the browser in preference of mobile banking via the apps because the need for biometric for some time now If they still have internet banking on the computer, that shouldn't be affected
  7. Starlink won't even beat 5g speed in Thailand Thailand has fiber cable to almost everywhere now and are quite affordable, in areas or place that don't, 5g is pretty good but can be pricey if you need unlimited internet at the fastest speed
  8. thai car insurance is usually attached to the car, not the driver, so if you have your own car and that has 1st class insurance, its for that car and unless you put down yourself as the sole named driver, anyone driving it is insured providing they have valid license, not drunk most big rental companies will have collision damage waiver insurance you have to pay extra for when renting mom and pop rental outfits will use the car's 1st class insurance, these can be a gray area as the conditions of most 1st class insurance is not for commercial use, if you got into accident the rental outfit would ensure that the insurance agent not look too closely at your relationship with the ultimate owner of the vehicle and how you come to be operating the vehicle
  9. so instead of the mules selling the accounts, they now have to sell both accounts and corresponding sim card.... not too difficult to overcome by the criminals
  10. Decent families do give the dowry to the couple to start out their life together only parents form certain region/class expect payday from the wedding
  11. but do you really need your personal mobile banking app to be working on the company's phone?
  12. it's been reported in Thai news and social media of 'bill surprise' this month too I have 2 houses, one where we don't use the aircon ever, only water pumps and fridges and the bill's been in line with before while the heat during the day is only a few degrees above average, it's the heat and humidity at night that is unusual you might not notice if you have the aircon on at the same time but they're definitely doing more work to keep you cool
  13. for circular ones, most of the guts of the old lights need to be removed, starter, ballast and even the clip holding up the tubes, as the led panels is usually need flat metal back for the magnet to attach to
  14. About 10-15 years ago it used to be cheaper to get pickup trucks, Toyotas in Mitsubishi in Thailand and ship to Europe, some dedicated business putting in aftermarket heaters or even replacing thai model radiators for one with heater cores For classic cars, since banning any 'new' importation of classic, price in Thailand has gone through the roof, but there's the occasional rare cars like gullwing SLs to Ferrari F40s being shipped out
  15. I find that annoying too, but from their perspective, what happens if you go and bought a dish and caried around and found out there are no seats available? If there's enough seats then of course there should be no need to 'reserve' seats in such manner, but at office lunch times, there will not be enough seats If you are an office workers on lunch break and walked in to the food court and find the seats are all 'reserved' you might go to a proper sit down restaurant instead
  16. If it was access panel to electrical trench/tunnel, he could have entered from somewhere else and the cabinet is a nice open area to live in
  17. years ago It came with monthly plan of 'unlimited' data I think of around 7-8000 baht a month and discount on the cost of router the price in the link is without contract I think, so you can use any yearly sim, it's not even locked to AIS, I did use True SIM in it as well but if you'll be using those sim it might be cheaper to go with 4g router
  18. Yes, https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/store/phones/brovi/brovi-5g-home-wifi-hi55381?capacity=91&color=98&campaign=0000&compCode=1&plan=&extsrc=false This one was available from physical AIS store when I got it in Bangkok it might depend on location
  19. does it need to be mobile? ie has batteries I know 5g wired router (needs to plug in to wall socket) are available from the operator like AIS and True for a discount if you take the sim/contract haven't seen 5g 'pocket hotspot' from the operators yet, only 4g Banana and Jib has 5g hotspot them in their online store, the random branch location probably won't have it in stock but might be able to order one in https://www.bnn.in.th/th/p/d-link-network-dwr-u2000-5glte-mobile-router-790069427176_r61g7n?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_ZHK1rKjhgMVFimDAx1M_gccEAQYAyABEgKDePD_BwE
  20. Legal tender just means that cash must be accepted for debt, if both the buyer and seller agree to pay using whatever that's not cash that's okay. If you go to a Starbuck that don't accept cash, they just refused to serve you... no debt incurred if you went to a restaurant, start ordering and they served you and you discover later that they don't accept cash, that's not legal as now you have a debt to them,
  21. It was discussed here when Kbank-BBL can do cardless withdrawal with each other
  22. The initial external shots seem to show ambulance from BDMS (Bangkok Hospital) which has clinic at the airport They wouldn't open the airside gate to volunteer service who's not trained on how to drive on the tarmac and has appropriate radio but making passengers with minor cuts walk on their own on the jetway or even use the airport transfer bus is probably not a good look or experience after a very traumatic experience understandable that with mass casualty event, the need for ambulance transport to the hospital might overwhelm the local ambulance Ruamkatanyu headquater is just south of the airport Sawang Boriboon is a Pattaya only foundation, there are other Sawang- foundations in other provinces but not in Pattaya the big volunteer foundations in Bangkok are Poh Tek Tung and Ruamkatanyu
  23. TOU (Time or Use) or off-peak rates meter come with more expensive rate for peak hours (daytime) use normally they wouldn't let you have normal meter and TOU meter so you could enjoy normal(non-tou) daytime rate with the 'off peak' rate at night from the TOU meter which would defeat the purpose of having peak rate except for EV charging, PEA allows second meter to be TOU rate while keeping the house supply on the normal rate, MEA (Bangkok area) doesn't allow this, if you get a 2nd meter for the EV and switches to TOU rate, your main meter has to switch to TOU rate as well If you live in PEA area, once you got the 2nd meter on TOU rate, it's a grey area if you want to plug in other things or wire the house using switchover switch
  24. While you shouldn't need to speak Thai to students, having some understanding of Thai helps when you interact with other member of staff, you will miss out on a lot of information or get delayed information only when someone decide to come and translate for you This would applies in any work environment too, only a few non-multinationals big Thai companies have meetings and memos in English
