Agree, it only appeared that he gained “ Hulklike “ powers and launched the motorbike, clearly he grabbed the throttle most likely unintentionally. But, yes he is at fault for the accident.

Yes, a CREDIT card !! No mention of whether he possesses a DEBIT card or not ?? On this basis I think my suggestion still stands.

The op says he is with Bangkok Bank ?, you can set up an sms message service ( costs 15 baht a month ) and you will receive a sms message instantly when any money is debited or deposited to your account ( above 500 baht I think). Worth it for peace of mind.

From the op: ” Crime Suppression Division (CSD) police have arrested a former army sergeant on charges of counterfeiting and using counterfeit official documents and fraud, for allegedly hiring luxurious cars from car hire services and then selling them to used car dealers using the falsified documentation “

Giffgaff- top service, lots of top up options and send a text every 6 months to keep it active. Lost my sim coming back to Thailand a couple of years ago, luckily I had a spare, Giffgaff ported my number and credit to the new sim very easily, happy ????

Yes, I mistakenly clicked on the link from cdemundo instead of opening externally, the website is indeed functional. My bad .

Yes, as I am in the process of changing to an O visa it is not really relevant to me, I just saved the premiums table for information in threads such as this. I got it from another poster who recently received it from LMG as his OA retirement extension is imminent. But I do think that anyone with any knowledge of the OA mandatory health insurance could see that it relates to the new/proposed premiums increase. Just to clear up any confusion: Current Retirement extension ( OA ) mandatory health insurance premiums Proposed retirement extension ( OA ) mandatory health insurance premiums from Sept 1st ( maybe ).

I get the Account suspended message , despite never accessing this site before. Onwardticket.com seems to be the way to go.

Where does one find these large blocks of Mainland cheese, I seem to remember someone mentioning Makro but my local Makro doesn’t stock it. Best I have is Big C with the Tasty , Mature Cheddar and Vintage varieties but at 209 baht for 250 gr I feel i am missing out !!

Yes, in jest in reply to a poster calling for compassion.

You obviously didn’t read the post I was replying to !!, are you drunk or just lazy ?

Read the post I was replying to before jumping in with both feet .

What if the drunk guy on the motorbike was an alcoholic ?, where was your compassion ? Quote: “ it was great to watch “ ?? Or are you just wanting to tell us that you were an alcoholic ?? Jeez, you’ll be telling us you are a Thai next !!

Applying for the yellow book, prior to applying for the Non-Thai pink ID card, can be as easy as presenting your passport up to a downright refusal. Many threads on this subject with MANY different experiences , certified copies of passport from Embassy and translation at MFA is popular as is your birth certificate ( for parents names ), 2 x witnesses sometimes required, marriage certificates or , in my case, a translated certified copy of a decree nisi could also be required. In short: a visit to your Amphur to get the list of required documents is the only way to find out.

Here’s another you might like: The Wee Man https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2113809/

The big question is: Do you have a re-entry permit ? I am assuming you do and want to override it with a visa exempt entry to pursue the non O route ??, which I don’t think is possible although I vaguely recall a poster inquiring about a similar case a few years ago, don’t remember the outcome. Perhaps @ubonjoe can shed some light ?

1) The insurance coverage of the first visa application and extension – originally indicated that the amount of coverage in the case of out-patients shall not less than 40,000 THB and in-patients shall not less than 400,000 THB – is changed into having health insurance or social welfare covering all medical expenses including the ones for COVID-19 with the coverage of not less than 100,000 USD (3 million THB).

690 km = 430 miles

I think it’s better to be able to choose any insurance policy you want without being tied to one of the Thai insurances on the list for OA.

Here’s the table from LMG for OA health insurance.

Given that the T sizes are measured point to point and Allen key wrenches are measured AF ( across flats ) I would wager it is a 3mm or 1/8” Allen wrench .

They seem to be more interested in pushing the Creta at the minute, saw some a couple of times on show and was surprised to see no Hybrid, no PHEV, no EV.

I learned about Wise ( Transferwise ) from this forum and did a comparison of NatWest to BKK Bank v NatWest to Wise to BKK Bank transfers , on a transfer of £10k i got 12k baht ( roughly £300 at the time) more via Wise , only wish i had learned about it earlier !!
