Glad it passed your plausibility test !

Yes, so in answer to your original question, it will be based on when the O visa is issued + 90 days, which will be in between 2) the day he applied and 3) the day he received it.

The standard “ hotel room “ safes are notoriously easy to open with a sharp blow from a heavy object, plenty of YouTube video on the subject. Even a potato !

Normal taxi rank, will cost 1,200 baht for normal size taxi.

Yes, I was disappointed, a 1.4/1.5 million tag would have peaked my interest but a little out of my budget range.

Not in my case although not at CW. My O visa begins when it was issued, 10 days after application and 7 days before my pick up date, Ayutthaya IO. A friend also went thru the same procedure at Sisaket IO and his O visa begins on the day it was issued, 8 days after applying.

I would say you have to visit, or contact, your immigration office to determine what they will accept ( 40/400k or 3 million coverage ) and buy accordingly. The old coverage was 40k outpatient and following the in depth post by @pablo el sueco out patient on the new coverage is 60k , at 2k per visit.

The renewal notice I received in September from LMG stated 3.5 million baht with 60k baht outpatient.

Well he does make a lot of predictions and isn’t always right as can be seen from this video where he states ( twice ) that the new 45 day visa exempt entry will give an extension of an additional 45 days !! So as with other predictions he is wrong on this one . Why doesn’t he remove his dodgy predictions videos from YouTube when it transpires his guesswork has missed the mark ? Until he does that I won’t be endorsing him, but you can if you like.

Is that the same guy that was giving out some dodgy information on the OA insurance deal, general consensus was he was wrong and just touting for business. Plenty of successful conversions to an O visa done recently, myself included. This seems more of a rogue immigration office/official making life difficult for whatever reason.

Had a walk by Galare today, it’s been bought out and currently being turned into the River View bar and restaurant. Some rooms will be retained for possibly rent out at a later date but currently unsure.

Either a ZS EV or an HS PHEV …….. or the Thai owner is confused ????. Saw the VS at a mall recently, looks nice, the unusual grill I’m not too sure about though !

Isn’t the VS a HEV ?

There goes his “ I saw red , I am sorry “ excuse .

Yup, no amount of money will cure the follicly challenged, you have only got to look at Sir Elton with all his money he has and he still wears those dodgy syrups !!

Mildred is very wise, expect to see Mrs Owl wearing those glasses very shortly. Fulham stiffed me , more precisely that twazzock who got sent off after 8 minutes !!, as I had them to win in a couple of online games ☹️

I rented a Mini in the U.K. and it had the Auto shut off feature that came on every time I started the engine, there was a switch to disable it but often I forgot. If I owned such a car i would see about disabling it permanently.

I have tried to get the price for the H6 PHEV a few times, via LINE and at a mini motor show a couple of months ago. Asked again today as GWM had the Jolion HEV and H6 HEV on show at the local mall but the rep said price will only be revealed on 7/8th October . Do you know ?? ( serious question as I am interested in a PHEV )

No criticism on my part , only reporting the situation as I see it. I’m not sticking my neck out to be the “ only falang in the village “.

Masks seems to be location based, here in Ayutthaya 100% still wearing masks except for the odd foreign tourist. Not too many foreigners around due to the rain but the odd group I see all seem to be “ mask exempt “, Thais and occasional foreign husband/boyfriend all seem to be “ mask compliant “. Maybe if the foreign tourists return in plentiful numbers then the tide will turn but at present it is like Ayutthaya didn’t get the mask mandate memo .

Here in Ayutthaya I see plenty of flooded residences near the river and residents outside filling sandbags this morning so not a good sign. Ayutthaya has the honour of rivers Chao Praya and Prasak converging ( the scene of the tug boat sinking around a year ago ) before heading down @Crossy’s direction and ultimately Bangkok, plenty of rubbish/trash mixed in with the weeds heading down to bung up the khlongs and add to the flooding. Here’s a video of the point of convergence of the two rivers and you can see the emergency flood barrier in preparation for lifting. IMG_9056.MOV

Only 8 episodes in season 1 and, as far as I know, no announcement for season 2 yet.

Op, any doubts you may be asked for an onward flight within the 60 days then use the above site , book a flight the day before you travel from the US, book Bangkok to Phnom Penh for day 58 or 59 , costing US$14.
