got it already =D

thanks for  info.Very appreciated

An agent in penang told my friend that he need the following to make tourist visa:

=====

1. Flight ticket out of Thailand within next 90 days

2. Bank statement showing enough money to subsist

3 hotel or other accommodation booking - but no rented house address because that may indicate someone who is employed.

4.Photo (EDIT)

=====

Honestly, No 2 and 3 are hard to believe. I never had to show bank account or apartment denied visa -but then again: for a long time I didnt make border runs -I might be out of focus.

Thanks, I'll give them a go when I get back from work.

How was it? Please report as I am looking for an good optician too =)

THANK you very much. As always, very proffesional information I receive.

Thanks for so fast answer!

So I just go for NON-O, but I will have to exit and re-enter the country every 3 month. I would really like to know whether there is a way so that I not have to exit and re-enter Thailand every 3 months. Work permit would be ok as paperwork is no issue for me if I could stay in Thailand the whole year.

I was wondering whether there is a way that I not have to leave the country every 3 months. I already have NON-O which expires Dec 1. I also wonder whether its better to make NON-B as I have a work permit too. I get NON-O for the last 5 years without problems. I not want to make 3 month visa runs if possible. I got my Work permit with NON-O Visa, no NON-B Visa needed. Shouldn't there be a way that you can stay in the country 1 year without leaving every 3 months if you work?

As always, Thanks for constructive answers =)

UPDATE:

Paypal and Ebay are considering use of bitcoins. If that doesnt rattle anyone then sleep on.

eBay CEO: We Are ‘Actively Considering’ Bitcoin Integration

""There is nothing holding PayPal back from pursuing digital payments today, as part of eBay.

In fact PayPal is pursuing digital payments and is the leading digital payments alternative in

many different environments," Donahoe said."

As I can't edit my post anymore I think it is important for some of you to get this info

I am mining at this place right now.

I'm not the least bit interested in cryptomining but I would love to have just one of your GPUs

You can invest 1 million baht and make no profit. Also you can invest 100,000 Baht and make a lot of profit. All depends on HOW you play it. There is no point in telling how much I invested because I not use all rigs for mining only. I use them as render farm and password cracking service too.

If you want to know which graphic card is the best or which card is how fast you can go to

https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

with that information in mind, head over to litecoin mining calculator

http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/litecoin-mining-calculator

with both information everyone can calculate how much profit they make -thus return.

I bought the nVIDIA 750TI for 6500 Baht. Now its around 5xxx Baht. 250-300kh/s (kilo hash per second) max 60Watt consumed.

The AMD R9-280x was 12kBaht. Not sure whether in Thailand they reduced prices but AMD stated that those cards are now 5000 cheaper. (600-700 kh/s) between 250 and 300 Watt consumed!!

Looked at your web site. You have a serious looking piece of kit there. How much would it cost to set up for Mining?? And what sort of return??

Setup mining is just setting up a PC with one or more good graphic cards. The return depends on everyone themselves because there are so many different coins to mine. Depending on the value of return you chose the coin.

I could tell you to mine litecoin, darkcoin..etc but it wouldn't help much as it depends on the market.Before graphic cards were used people used their CPU's to mine. As time passed by, someone wrote a program to use the graphic card to mine which will speedup mining more than 100 times (or more?).

-AMD: R9-280x was the first to be used in Bitcoin mining (the first cryptocoin). But the 250-300W it uses was a hard burden for many. Especially if you have many of them. For some, electric bills ate a big part of profits.

-NVIDIA: was never used in mining operations as their cards were very slow and software support was next to none UNTIL they released the 750Ti - http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750-ti

This card only eats 60W (written on package) but in fact, even overclocked it consumes only around 38-40WATT and that with 250-300kh/s. So around half the speed of 280x but only 10-15% of electricity

-How to find a mineable coin?

https://bitcointalk.org/ << this forum was established when Bitcoin was born. most (if not all) coins are introduced there. A good place to start.

Now we need to sell those mined coins: At the moment 1 (one) bitcoin is worth around 630US$ (source btc-e,com 02-06-2014). I do not recommend to mine Bitcoin as it is fominated by ASIC (application specific integrated circuit). What does that mean? It meas that there is very specialized hardware just to mine Bitcoin.

As we can see here I mine litecoin which I will CONVERT to Bitcoin- http://www.use.com/b969dc213f7a1fa1fae2

-How do I convert a coin to Bitcoin?

Markets: There are some Trading platforms out there like:

www.btc-e.com (not many coins but I started there)

www.mintpal.com (all or most altcoins)

Most profit I make is not by mining itself but by trading. You can buy cryptocoins but there is no guarantee you will ever receive as cryptocoin is not legislated in any country, so you are not protected from fraud.

Mine it yourself and have peace of mind.

EDIT: added market statistic link

Hi, I was wondering whether any of you is cryptomining (as I do). I mine litecoin and darkcoin at the moment.

Depending on rate, I mine everything worth trading/selling on sites like mintpal(dot)com

My small mining farm is seen here @ http://darkmatter.use.com

Please reply if your already in it (you can reply if your not too )

Here a website which explains it a bit http://www.coindesk.com/information/

Have a coming nice weekend !

EDIT: added link for explanation

Thanks for clearing it Very apprecaited!

Your right, my apologies, not just Tourist Visas, all visa (probably???). I wonder how they would prohibit me from entering the kingdom with an valid non immigrant visa where I have to leave the country every 90days. So I thought prolly it can only be for tourist visa.

The german embassy has a warning for germans in Thailand about using tourist visa from August on.

In short -it states that if someone tries to stay long time on tourist visa that they will get denied even if you come by Air.

Please check link below and make sense for yourselves. (German embassy link)

Here the text in german

does this apply to ONLY new drivers?

I have not taken the written test/driving test since 1988

Only Color, brake and distance

Yes only new drivers. You will have to refresh it every 5 years (in my case).If you already have a license then they only make a visual test (eye test with pulling a rope an item to the right place) and have to look a 45min Traffic-movie which explains traffic rules. Be advised that you will have to make all the examination if you license expires.

cool;

I have never seen the movie :-)

am sure u need do color and brake as well as it seems i need do those every 5 years

yes you are right, I forgot to mention color and brake. I am quiet sure that owners of license do not have to make a wriiten test,. It would be infeasable to make it mantatory for eveyone WITH a license.

Edit: Typo

When I was making my car and motorbike license test I found that there are a few errors in the program/computer box which can make it impossible to pass as foreigner (should you happen to get those questions), as the translation is wrong or not understandable. This test I made in Nakhon Nayok last year. I told the staff there but they understandably don't know what to do as they are given those machines.

Here Tide tables for all provinces of Thailand.

Thai Tide Tables

But unlike the original post mortem conducted in Koh Samui, the second inquest confirmed two ‘impact marks’ on Mr. Attew’s head and five puncture marks on his back, penetrating 3 mm into the skin, and also bruising on his back and neck

are they for real !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , i have seen the picture of when they found the body, and NO WAY is this drowning !, ok he may of had some water in his lungs but how can you explain all the other injuries ! ..... this is truly shocking

i think there mayof been a lot of lost face here, so instead og admiting they where wrong, the police insist on calling this a suscide !, or are being heavily paid off

could someone link the pic?

I could have told you without Wikileaks. Seeing for many years Russkies running in shorts, loaded with diamond bracelets, necklaces -you only saw at TV or auctions. They are not afraid to show who they are.

Congratulations! I am not sure in what they are No 1, but Congrats! More details would be appreciated...

Should this crook get extradited he will be executed. Embezzlement is one of over 30 non-violent

crimes where the Chinese government executed people at will. Not a bright guy, it seems.

He should have read which country doesn't have an extradition thready with Thailand, like

most European countries before he runs away.

Extradition Treaty Countries (update 13July 2010): Currently the following countries entered into extradition treaties with Thailand:

Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, China, Fiji, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom, and United States.

Do your homework before you crook around! :jap:

EDIT: adding extradition countries

Oh dear, here we go again! And another tip-off!

The tip-off came from an CTX 9000 with Narcotic Add-on Software
