  1. Drive contains photos and videos only. Photos can still be transferred to another disk but at max speed of 710 kb/s. Videos which are in gigabytes are another story, impossible. I contacted phuket-data-wizards but I guess they are out of biz, no reply. Any recommendations who could help me out here in Phuket?
  2. How does that work, where and how to apply? Would appreciate the link please.
  3. The site is https://tp.consular.go.th/ It is not yet open for "Test and Go" applications, will open sometime in the coming week after the new rules are published in the Royal Gazette Hopefully before 30th because my son is returning from studies oversea to Phuket on February 1st. Just how long it takes to publish darn thing?
  4. And yet again there is a same kind of boring reply from negative and jealous person.
  5. Video taken mid-October this year. Exploring mountain ridgeline roads close to Laos and Burma border. Footage depicts following routes: Tap Tao Road, Singapore Road, R1093, R1149, R1155, R1130, R1290 Paradise Road, R4018 Big Dipper, R3037 Wa Wi Road, R4029, R5047 Doi Chang Road and Kaeng Pha Dai Mekhong Road.
  6. Born in former Yugoslavia, studied in Basel, Switzerland, worked in Germany, UK, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, last 20 years in Phuket.
  7. Doubt it, but would like to hear further clarification. I got my 5 years when was still 500k.
  8. Yup. Do it online or drive thru counter at Phuket immigration.
  9. Bangkok only actually. Here in Phuket you got to do it yourself.
  10. Current rate to pay and avoid serving in Thai Army is around THB 50,000-70,000. Nothing illegal about it, it is common practice. Once payment is made, Army will issue the document confirming young boy is not required to do military service. Me and wife did this for our son. I don't want him to serve in army whose main objective is terrorizing its own people and removing democratically elected governments. Not to mention poor safety records primitive training methods, mysterious deaths of conscripts, faulty parachutes and other mishaps we read about on regular basis. Another option is to send your kid(s) to 30 days military camps for 2 consecutive years during high school summer breaks. Best friend of my son did this and is no longer under obligation to serve. If your family has a friend in military, preferably rank of lieutenant or above, ask for additional info and he can put you in touch with relevant people. This is the way we went about it and worked JUST FINE. The whole process lasts about 2 months.
  11. My next door German neighbor and his Thai wife were evicted few weeks ago, apparently defaulted on bank loan payment. Yesterday SCB officials put this sign on. Few others in our mooban facing the same situation.
  12. If Angkor is so sacred to them why place its likeness on a beer bottle. You won't see Buckingham or Bangkok Grand Palace on a booze.
  13. Thank you oldcpu for useful reply. I am in Vichit, subdistrict office is less than 2 km away from my house. Will go there on Monday and post an update.
