Delayed eVisa - change entry stamp at immigration?
jackdd replied to faxx's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not possible. -
From 1 January covid extension in 3000 THB
jackdd replied to Tayida's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just ask them if they will give you a receipt for it. Then it's suddenly 1900THB again. -
Netflix in 4k uses about 20Mbit/s. 8k would use four times this amount, so about 80Mbit/s. Far away from 1Gbit/s. Yes, simply throwing the wires over poles also has its advantages.

"Seven Days" and the likes - inside mall optical chain stores.
jackdd replied to watthong's topic in General Topics
There are probably other shops which will also do it for you, but the "KT Optic" chain (you can find them in most Big C, etc.) is specifically advertising "free service" (adjusting, cleaning, exchanging nose pads etc.), doesn't matter if you bought the glasses from them or somewhere else. -
There is currently just not much point to have 2Gbit/s if you are using the connection alone. Transfering 10 Gigabyte with a 1 Gbit/s connection takes about 80 seconds, with 2Gbit/s then about 40 seconds. For who is this really important? If the server is abroad any such speeds aren't realistic anyway. How often would a standard user even notice a difference between 100Mbit/s and 1Gbit/s? I would say most would never notice it, and the only time I would personally notice is when I transfer a big chunk of data once a week or so, but I'm also not in a hurry then and while having it done in 3 minutes instead of 30 would be nice, this is really not very important.

Staying at hotel and TM30
jackdd replied to kiever's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They could, but looking at the print out is easier for them. -
I think this only applies to loan sharks, the loan shark would have no power in this case. Here an example from a bank: https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/loans/car-loans/my-car-my-cash.html Good question, to which I can't give an answer. All I know is that in Germany the owner of the car (bank) would get the car back, and the buyer has to take the loss or try to get his money back from the seller. Maybe somebody else knows the legal situation in Thailand. But as I said, just have the DLT check if the blue book is legit, like this you are safe.

90 day reporting: starting from which date?
jackdd replied to khrai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When you apply for or get the extension immigration will put a small paper in your passport telling you the 90 day report date. -
The car is transfered in the name of the bank, and the original owner does then lease the car from the bank. So he can't get a new book and even if he could, the book would show the bank as the owner, thus he can't sell the car. The only way to cheat this system would be to claim the blue book as lost and get a new one before taking out a loan. Then take out a loan, doing the ownership transfer in the name of the bank with the new blue book, which will be kept by the bank. He could then offer the car for sale together with the old blue book which he said was lost that would still show him as owner. With a fake blue book he could obviously achieve the same. The way to protect yourself from the second method would be to meet the seller at the DLT, and have the DLT confirm that the blue book is legit before handing over any money.

A person who is allowed to reside in Thailand permanently. Here 100+ pages about how to become one: https://aseannow.com/topic/74654-cameratas-guide-to-the-permanent-residence-process/ Well, here is the "official" law, please point out the 3 months limit: http://web.krisdika.go.th/data/law/law2/%C301/%C301-20-9999-update.pdf I obviously can't prove that something doesn't exist. You claim a 3 month limit exists, so it's your job to provide a proof for it.

The document to which you linked is hosted by the Council of State, they are the goverment department which writes Thai laws, and if any other government department (for example police) would have a question on how to understand a law, they would ask the Council of State. So I call them the highest authority regarding the interpretation of laws. There is no offcial translation of any law, because the only legally binding version is the original Thai version. Permanent residents and Thai citizens need to have a Thai driving license, they may not use an IDP. Section 42, as the previous poster said already. "with the document prescribed in the existing Convention or Agreement between Thai Government and the Government of such country" = IDP

They are the highest authority regarding laws in Thailand, so we can expect them to be quite accurate. But I did actually verify the translation myself a while ago, it's indeed accurate. There is no 3 months limit in Thai law, some people just unknowingly spread misinformation and some people do it on purpose to troll.

Hotels usually do theTM30. Just ask them for a printout of the TM30 report and take this to immigration. If you stay at a friends place or similar which isn't registered for online TM30, just take the TM30 and the TM47 to immigration at the same time. This was abolished last year, upon return to a previously registered address a TM30 is no longer required.

riding motorcycle without license (in a rural setting)
jackdd replied to BananaBandit's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Yes, Thailand ratified it at the beginning of this year iirc -
Looks like a typical courier company to me. They should do the customs clearing for you, they might ask for a copy of your passport to do this. I think there is not much you can do but wait for them to do their job. In the future make sure to send by regular mail, couriers are always a pain in the ass.

Which shipping company did the sender use?

I order where it's cheaper, which mostly is Shopee I pay by debit card, because getting my money back is easier than COD.

Had the CM Mix (Sinovac-AstraZeneca)…..Thai Booster Logic?
jackdd replied to SamSanuk's topic in Chiang Mai
I don't think there are any concerns, it's simply a matter of what finds a high acceptance and they have to use the AZ doses that they have. People who got SV+AZ before will probably be ok to receive another dose of AZ, so that's what they offer. -
BMW seilf-oil changers - which 5w-30 ?
jackdd replied to regedit's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Your owner's manual should specify the minimum required grade, just buy this grade or a better one. The document says these oils must not be used outside of Europe. At least OP knows which oils he should not use.
