  1. We've seen case where people install sockets along with their charger behind the TOU meter and the power company is fine with it. Only MEA in Bangkok makes you switch your whole house over to TOU before giving you a separate meter for EV before you automate everything, make sure the clock on the meter itself is set to the correct time, there has been case where the TOU meter's time is off and incorrect rates applied even while charging on off-peak times
  2. ฺBankrupcy could be difficult, any sale/transfer within 3 months before the declaration of bankruptcy or a lien if the landowner owed somebody could be reversed. Before it comes to seizing of land/property, there would have been noticed served as in posted stuck to the property gates so a local should know of their reputation
  3. thais just goes hand-in-hand buyer and seller and maybe the agent who's getting commission to the land office due dilligence is checking the back of the chanote that there are nothing unusual recorded like usufruct or right of way cash/cashiers cheques is only handed over once both party is satisfied, in case of transfer they would have a relative at the bank to verify that the money has arrived and phone back to the ones at land office to go ahead(doesn't help in the case of fake cashier's cheque where the amount would appear and be voided a few days later) only case where things could go wrong later would be if the land office official is in on it, from issuing deeds where they shouldn't have, or the deeds was stolen from another relatives and sold by someone who shouldn't have been able to would a lawyer be able to discover these?
  4. if she shows up to negotiate, by getting a loan to consolidate the debt or even just asking the judge, she can get almost half the amount that's usually collection fees and interests knocked off the asking amount.

    Villa and Foodland have it, 7-11 definitely don't has it Not sure about tops but it's not sold at big place like Big C or Lotus
  6. Apart from paid tollways, expressways and motorways like Hwy 7 and 9 most highways with access control/ frontage road like Highway 1, north of Bangkok, and Hwy 3 (Bang Na) also prohibits motorcycle in the middle bit, usually there will be signs at all slip road and entrances Apart from overpass bridges, underpass tunnel are also prohibited to motorcycles
  7. Only if you put seats in it, Trucks and Vans for carrying cargo gets green plate Over 11 seats with canopy and seats gets blue plate and even cheaper tax Some used to 'borrow' canopy to register for cheaper tax and remove it, hence the crackdown Does the police care if you do it the other way? Who knows...
  8. 7-11 now has deals with many banks where you can use the app to withdraw cash from 7-11 as 'Banking Agents' The fee are like 5-10 baht each time though, and if you already use the app, QR payment/transfer are widely accepted by most traders anyway
  9. Upon exiting Thailand, couldn't she present both passport and if the io is reasonable, stamp her out on the Thai passport to prevent any problems with the 'blank' thai passport If the worse come to worst, she can enter Thailand on ID card alone, thai citizen can't be barred from entering the Kingdom even without her passport, then use her Thai passport next time
  10. If it's M Pass, most Krung Thai Bank in Pattaya are supposed to be able to order a new one in, but recently people have been reporting that they're not issueing them, making people get easy pass from.the Bangkok expressways instead
  11. Are you sure it's not M-Pass, if they originally got it from the Hwy7, it'll be M Pass, They're no longer being issued new
  12. There are no law or dlt regulations that covers red temporary plate for motorbikes, they are not made or issued by the department of land transport. Problems are that between riding off from the dealer and when the dealer register the bikes could be months, during which they could be involved in crimes and be untraceable, by witness amd such, hence some province police stationwould get together with the local dealers and issue their own plate, you'll see plate like Pattayq, some will even have dealer's name attached If you ride such a plated bike to Bangkok, it's good as having no plate, But Bangkok police, having no such scheme, would let you off with a warning if you can produce recent dated receipt from the dealer Even riding to other province with similar mptorcycle red plate scheme, you aren't guaranteed to not get tickets for having no registration either
  13. There are no red plate for motorcycle issued by DLT You won't see them in Bangkok What gets issued in certain provinces are backed by the local police station or just the dealership
  14. For motorcycles: they have no legal standing, but each police stations in provinces issue them to help with crimes from stolen bikes to traffic offence while waiting for paperwork to be sorted for the bike For cars, red plate must be issued with logbook Due to shortages, dealers have been giving people fake red plates, from fake plates with real logbook, or one real plate and one fake for the other side, making a set of real plates stretch to cover two or even three customers Fine for forging government documents are of course worse than driving with no plate.... too bad if your dealer didn't tell you the truth and you can't discern if they're genuine or not.
  15. Outside of their hospital they might not have brought cashiers and receipt printing setup conpared to hospitals that has cashier counters too, so most location in malls like ICS and Central World are effectively free?
  16. The BMA hospital I saw (Bang Na) seem to charge burmese workers for the vaccine, so other long term residents might be treated the same?
  17. For Bangkok(BMA) run place they have been charging foreigners since January
  18. If you use credit cards to tap in, some cards let you have 10% cashback on the blue and purple line
  19. I'm sure there must already be a shuttle from the Airport to Central Village, not sure if it's worth taking the hassle and the wait for schedule just to save 7 baht over the Jomtien airport bus though
  20. I offered the figure as a comparison, that a cheap data sim plus a router could pay for itself compared to just buying add on data I just went to AIS's site, click on the 30 day add-on If there are better deals, it's not obvious how to get them on AIS's website getting a new sim with unlimited package is always better deal, but some of these sim are only sold through third party and not at the mobile phone providers own shop and not even shown on website
  21. a 'portable' mobile hotspot or 'pocket wifi' that has battery is about the same as sharing hotspot from your phone, though you can rent them an LTE/5G router that plugs in to AC power and takes a SIM card gets better reception don't need to worry about power/charging and will generally be more reliable these starts around 1,500 baht to around 5000 baht for 5g ones that let you have speed of around 300-700mbps If you're only going for the cheap SIM that's unlimited but capped speed at around 10-30mbps, the cheaper router will do, the SIM might cost around thousand baht with unlimited data for 12 months, plus another thousand and half for the router, say you could have whole solution for 3000 baht If you were to pay for -on top- internet package on your existing pay as you go top up sim, unlimited data capped at 10mbps already costs around 1000 baht a month, so for 3 months, it's better to get these 12 months data sim to use even with your phone alone is worth it
  22. you might still be able to access the online banking through the website (not the app) if your user is not locked out
  23. the most 'in person' way to get netflix is probably to buy a card from 7-11, but then you have to put the code from the card into netflix online somehow, only for people not wanting to deal with credit cards
  24. students from Thailand pay tuition way over what the locals are paying in Australia or UK, are we moaning about dual pricing there too? What are most Farangs studying in Thailand that's so in demand? Thai language? I'm sure there are a few studying decent things in International university here but those would have no problem affording their stay without working and can get a job with work permit at the end of their study should they so choose, yes, part of the appeal for Thai students to study abroad in western country is being able to work and get jobs/connection and chance at permanent residency and eventually citizenship How many here and those using student visa as means to legally stay in Thailand really wants Thai nationality in the end?
  25. there are substance that's often found in bathroom that lowers the coefficient of friction on the surfaces they come in contact on, these substance are rarely encountered on other floor surfaces in the home
