What happens if you upload the same certificate two times?

Unrelated to Thailand, but this is what I did for another country that required 2 files to be uploaded, one for each dose. It may work ????

You have obtained one Tourist Visa this year. Also you have been out of Thailand for 3 ish months.

You will be given another tv.

Where are you planning to obtain the TV?.

 

Thanks! In Spain, I have to send the passport and documents it to a different province via normal mail, so is not very straight forward and I have to plan the timing really well with all other stuff like thaipass, PCR's, flights, etc, ..

If you obtain a tourist visa you will be admitted into Thailand. 

Let me rephrase then: Would I be given a Tourist visa if I’ve been more than 6 months already in Thailand this year? Or there's a high chance of the embassy/consulate turning me down?

This just happened to me today in Jomtien, I went 30 days ago for a 60-day extension, they gave me a "permission to stay" for 30 days and told me to come exactly today for the other 30 days extension. I went this morning and they just told me to drop the passport and come back tomorrow.

In the middle of a sanitary crisis they make you go three times to the office in order to get an extension, is nuts.

 Don't understand why people worry about saving a couple of baht here and there. To much hassle for my liking.

Is not about saving a bath or two, is about understanding how things work. For me just skipping the hassle of having to queue for purchasing the ticket is enough value for getting the card.

It's very simple. If you live on the BTS beyond Onnut, you pay an extra 15B per trip downtown. 15 trips costs 465B, but every time you travel Bangna to Asoke, one trip is deducted from the 15, and 15B deducted from the extra 100B you paid initially. After seven of the 15 trips, the extra 100B you paid over and above the 15-trip deal is showing a deficit of 5B (7 x 15B = 105B), which will trigger the turnstile to prompt you to top-up - not the 15-trip deal, of which you still have 8 remaining, but the 100B extra. So if, as you say, you topped up 500B, then you are good to go for eight more trips Bangna-Asoke, at the end of which you will still have a credit of 375B (500B top up less the 5B deficit, less 8 trips at 15B = 375B).

Thanks, that makes much more sense now.

With a rabbit you do not get any discount if you are just a normal adult. It saves the hassle of Q-ing up and buying ticket eachtime-and sometimes even to find the entry for that.

You CAN get pretty good discounts if you not ask for just add-value, but a TRIP plan- a nr like 20/25/30 trips, to be used in 1 month (unused then will expire) will bring the price down to around 25 bt in lieu of 42.

Thanks for the explanation.

Buying a TRIP plan is exactly what I tried to do (and I though I did) because made sense in my route Asok - Bang Na , but maybe the counter gave me a value card instead. Definitely will insist on a trip card next time.

Which "credit" is used up?

 

What does the error message on the gate say?

 

Don't buy another pass, just load up with value.

 

I have to double check that, basically caught me by surprise as I was expecting at least double the trips I got. There was just a red error message about just 100 THB credit (the minimum and you cannot use the card if reaches that point) and then I went to the counter, topped up the card with + 500 THB and the lady told me "8 trips".

When you say the credit is used after 8 trips, do you mean 8 one-way trips? Or 8 round round trips between Asoke and Bangna? The 15 "trips" for THB 465 would be for one-way only...

8 one-way trips. I'll edit the main post.

So, this is how I use it:

- Got the adult Rabbit card (orange one)
- Paid initially 100 THB (deposit) + 15 trips for 465 THB
- Normally I travel Bang Na BTS to Asoke BTS and back
- After something like 8 one-way trips, the credit is gone.
- I refill 500 THB and the person in the counter tell me is valid for 8 more trips

So my understanding is that the average cost of the trip is 31 THB, and stopping on the extension line (Bang Na), it also deducts around 10-15 THB per trip.

So even if costs me 31 + 15 = 46 THB per trip, still does not add up and should allow more than 8 trips.

What I'm not seeing here? Looks like is costing me more to use the card than just pay per ticket individually.

Thanks,

Edit: grammar.
