Not possible.

Just ask them if they will give you a receipt for it. Then it's suddenly 1900THB again.

8K TV is probably going to be the chief consumer of >1Gb LAN/WAN.  

Netflix in 4k uses about 20Mbit/s. 8k would use four times this amount, so about 80Mbit/s. Far away from 1Gbit/s.

As an aside, we're actually lucky to have the connectivity/price-points we have here in Thailand.  Many western countries are still playing catch-up.  If you've been in LoS for 10 or more years you'll really appreciate the connectivity we have now versus then.  I still have a CAT CDMA dongle top remind me of the good old days ????

Yes, simply throwing the wires over poles also has its advantages.

btw which shop did you go to for the "re-alignment"

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.

Whoever came up with offering a 2Gb WAN limited by a 1Gb LAN deserves a very special prize. Same applies to offering WiFi 6 router. Not much point if you're LAN can't go above 1Gb. I'd not be at all surprised if they are actually using 2 PON points, each providing 1Gb.

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.

Will probably continue

Why doesn't immigration have a way to look up your TM30 records..seems ridiculous

They could, but looking at the print out is easier for them.

I'm told that when the car is held as collateral, they simply hold on to the book. Best way is to check with the banks I think.

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

Quote

My Car My Cash is a personal loan for car owners. You can get up to 5 million baht in cash by selling your car and getting it back under a hire-purchase agreement. You will continue to be able to use your car as usual and pay monthly installments (including VAT) for up to 84 months. When the loan is paid up, car ownership will be immediately transferred back to you.

Yes but what I'm trying to establish is who loses out?  In the UK, if the buyer acted in good faith, they would retain ownership and the previous owner would be prosecuted for fraud/deception but this is Thailand.

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.

When you apply for or get the extension immigration will put a small paper in your passport telling you the 90 day report date.

What's the definition of that?

A person who is allowed to reside in Thailand permanently.

It's an "unofficial translation" from 1979

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

As I said if there is another regulation not under this introduced since this law then it is quite possible there may be a 3 month requirement to get a Thai D/L - the referenced document doesn't make it clear either way. 

 

basically nothing you've referenced or posted proves or disproves it.

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.

"Highest authority"?? - Not sure what that means.

Te document in question is from 1979. and an unofficial translation.

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.

I'm to sure it's actually the "limitation" that needs to be examined - I believed that it was  any in there country over 3 months is required to have a Thai licence - not so much a limit on the licence but a requirement on the visa or length of stay.

Permanent residents and Thai citizens need to have a Thai driving license, they may not use an IDP.

I can't find a referee within this document to an IDP either - can you give me te paragraph reference?

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

Yes - I read this some time ago, but I'm left wondering at the accuracy of this government web site.

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.

It will mean doing at least a TM30 report to prove you are staying in that province.

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.

4 minutes ago, ubonjoe said:

And then whey you return to your home province you will need to do another TM30 report to change your address again.

This was abolished last year, upon return to a previously registered address a TM30 is no longer required.

Not only is it of course possible to do, but you are supposed to do the 90 day report in the province where you are staying. There is no such thing as a "registered home province".

I recently, within the last two hours submitted my Thailand pass documents through a visa agency, they are ok but are now asking for the hotel booking confirmation, I paid the hotel earlier this morning and I have a payment slip but no booking confirmation, my guess Is  that they will hold off issuing my confirmation untill it’s too late for me to get a Thailand pass approval, that then means I will be pushed onto the AQ scheme at their hotel and of course they will get more money from me…

According to the new they stopped issuing new Thailand passes already.

Is it true that now the Vienna international permit is also valid in Thailand?

Yes, Thailand ratified it at the beginning of this year iirc

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.

So, are there concerns here? Why not a choice for The Mix? 

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.

Exactly, and that document is an international driving permit.

https://internationaldrivingpermit.org/country/germany/

And in German it's titled International driving license.

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.
