  1. These are collective nouns, not classifiers. There's a difference.
  2. I've changed the name of the post-paid True SIM from the missus to my name to match my SCB banking app about a month ago. Passport and bank account with debit card needed. It took just 10 minutes at a True shop.
  3. 3 different banks in my little town in Loei province refused to open another bank account for me (I have an SCB account) saying they can't do it on a non-O visa despite having 8 years of yearly extensions, only non-OA allowed. TiT
  4. Hi there, I've been using a torrent site for downloading (not streaming) movies, TV shows, music and more for many years without any problems. It's got all the new stuff like Reacher, the White Lotus, 1923 to name just a few. Of course, I use a VPN even in Thailand. The site is by invitation only so if you are interested in joining, send me a private message and I'll invite you. It's free and all you have to do is seed back what you downloaded. For a small donation, you can also get IPTV with thousands of channels from all over the world.
  5. Bundesfinanzministerium - Abkommen zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und dem Königreich Thailand zur Vermeidung der Doppelbesteuerung bei den Steuern vom Einkommen und vom Vermögen
  6. The Ministry (of Education) had in 2015 tested all civil servant English teachers in a CEFR-referenced online placement test, where 94% had failed to reach the targeted proficiency level of B2.

  7. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2002315/intensive-push-to-lift-english-proficiency It's a program in which students get more English lessons per week than regular students. The goal is that students reach B2 level of CEFR which is a joke because most English teachers (Thai) at secondary schools don't reach that level themselves.
  8. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 120 seconds  
  9. The internet has lots of worksheets and exams but course books are difficult to find (copyrights). I know one site that has a selection of English course books which you can download but the wide range of age and probably levels will make it difficult to find some appropriate ones. Send me a message if you are interested.
  10. Assuming she works at a school, can't she get books or recommendations from English teachers at the school?
  11. Buy a pocket wifi, 224 baht on Lazada plus SIM card and data package

    Udon to Nan

    Are you going by car or motorbike? CK Crew (a group of 6 friends in Chiang Khan riding motorbikes) did a trip around Nan last year. If you want to follow a scenic route I'd recommend going to Nong Khai first, then follow the river to Chiang Khan and Na Haeo, then backroads up to Nan. From there you could follow the route KhunLA recommended. Very nice indeed.
  13. I'm German with residency in Thailand and rented cars in The Netherlands, Germany, the UK and in Florida with my 5-year-licence (plastic card) without any problems at all.
  14. Saloon Bar is the place to go. Best on weekends. In Chiang Khan stay in one of the many guesthouses with river view on Chai Kong Road. A drive along the river road to Nong Khai is very interesting. Stop at HiSo Bannork restaurant (ไฮโซ-บ้านนอก) in Ban Hat Kamphi. Google maps: 42VC+HRQ, Hat Kamphi Unfortunately open only on weekends during lunch time but their slow-cooked ribs are spectacular.
  15. It's about my second 5-year license that I need to renew in August.
