  1. I just did my extension and multi re-entry 10 mins ago at Aranyaprathet with final Stat Dec from Oz Embassy , took just under 30 minutes from the time I handed all the paperwork and passport to the IO and back in my hands.Very impressed by service however the "No Tip" sign made me baulked from rewarding him.

  2. Maybe outside OP's budget but Poco F1 at around 9xxx baht is really good I think.
     
    Had mine for about 3 month and I love it, right size for my needs, 4000mAh battery, very fast (6gb ram).
     
    No bloatware or very little, Samsung has more of that.
     
    I will also never buy a super expensive phone again, never understood how a phone can be worth 1000$+?.
     
    Okay cameras on phones are rapidly getting better and some have 3 or 4 which could justify the higher price on some phones.
    Exactly same thoughts never going back to a $1000 plus fone anymore.I see Samsung a putting out M series finds later this month to regain their share in India against Xiaomi.
    Hopefully someone can review their best ones against Pocophone F1 and soon to be released Redmi Note 7.

  3. A mate of mine out in the sticks up Maha Sarakam way got a wifi router from AIS which has a SIM card in it and pulls data from mobile towers, and he gets a decent 8mb/sec from that which is more than enough to run Netflix and a Kodi box for international channels. Cost is about 500 baht/month from memory. Might be worth checking that out. But you say you already have Netflix so you must have reasonable internet already - that's a bit confusing, Keith. Truevisions lost all value to the common man a long time ago. Move on to IPTV and you'll never go back - go talk with AIS.
    That's correct , if you can watch Netflix than its just a matter of investing in an Android Box to stream International content via Kodi or other sites by way of APK downloads.I have never tried Kodi but the others sites I've downloaded via APK is hit and miss sometimes , that's the price you pay for free apps, luckily YouTube, Netflix and Oz Foxtel are completely reliable.

  4. If I'm forced to buy a Thai health insurance policy for 40k/400k THB coverage that I don't need, or if I'm force to purchase out-patient coverage in addition to the inpatient coverage I already have that is at least 20 times more than Thai the mandated Thai inpatient coverage (and I don't need that out-patient coverage as I can easily cover the expenses myself) - then I'll say, "Enough!"  it will be time to leave.
    So who's forcing you ,is that a prerequisite to get a visa ?

  5. Who said "the embassy was wrong...." The embassy staff or the expat? I'm bit surprised by all the comments in many threads about that the embassies are wrong. Lot of staff at the embassy are clerks. They are not in position to verify anything. Don't have expertise or authority. The income method with affidavit was a nonesence from outset. 
    The expat said , and totally agree with you, the Thai ladies are only clerks so why vent your anger at them,nothing they day will change the Embassy's decision.

  6. I should have said after the embassy letter cut off date. But as you all know the Oz embassy will continue to certify documents that prove your income. As I was told by them about a month ago .
    Are you sure mate , I'm thinking if you show Oz Embassies the documents they will not take it on face value but would have to verify it from the originating source, which they aren't willing to do.
