  1. I don't recommend to try that now. I did this once, and succeeded. Without lying or faking anything. I tried a similar procedure later, and was strictly told I have to stay in the application country during the process. I think there was just some confusion about the rules in the early days of the e-visa system. Also, it was not possible to upload the required travel history. Since the website would only accept single jpg files. This has now been fixed.
  2. Strange. I also have dual passports and have been switching them around for 15+ years. I have never - ever, been questioned about this by Thai immigration.
  3. It is possible to use wise for transfers FROM Thailand but I would not recommend it. The problem IIRC, is you cant send in THB. You will have to convert to USD and send. Ending up with a poor rate. I did this once just for test purposes.
  4. Something i have learned over the years: Don't lie or cheat. But never ask more questions or give more information than absolutely necessary. This can save you a lot of hassle. Asking an embassy clerk if either: Is it possible to do this in a smooth easy way? or would you like it to make it as difficult as possible?.. Its pretty obvious what answer you will get. That's like asking my dog if he wants snacks or not ????
  5. Do you have any source for this? I'm not saying you are wrong, but I did research this a while ago and could not find a clear answer. I did not try to fake anything when i applied for the e-visa. I used my Thai address as place of permanent residence. Did not pretend to be in the application country by changing IP etc. I know at some point in the process you have to prove a local address. But I thought that's only if you are not a national of the country you apply in? Or to direct you to the correct consulate if you happen to apply in a country that has more than one Thai consulate/embassy?
  6. Why not? It certainly worked for me. Do you have other experience?
  7. Is it possible to get 6 years out of the 5 year visa if you leave and re-enter just before it expires?
  8. It will not be a problem. I never use my middle name on flight bookings. Neither did my employer who sent me around the world for 2 decades. Its a bit confusing when they state "Must match name in passport". This is obviously not correct. I have done this dozens of times with BKK airways, first and surname only. Never had an issue.
  9. The fans should start about immediately if you start the car idle with AC on. If not, you have a problem either with fan motors or temperature switch. I replaced both my fans recently after the wife submerged the car in water.. They were sort of still running but at a very low speed/erratic. Motors were damaged. Engine will not overheat so quickly if you have a fan failure. There is still circulation of coolant. With a pump failure or air pockets however it will happen very fast.
  10. Yes, they come in 2,3 and 5 terminals as far as i have seen. Excellent product IMO. Solid and compact. Fits anywhere.
  11. Why? Since when? I have traveled to Cambodia on motorcycle a few times. Some paperwork on the border but it was definitely possible.
