  1. Japan, Malaysian, Singapore. I get 90 days; in Europe I get 180 days on my passport. So 30 days when in Bangkok is enough.
  2. Mix Baking Soda with any Vegetable oil, and the sticker and glue will come off.
  3. Here we go again. The hotel owners : Malls : Restaurants : Taxi drivers : Bars : street food sellers : Tourist spots, in all of Thailand have not seeing these tourist. Where are these numbers coming from, has to be the biggest joke around. There are much better places to visit in this world than expensive Thailand, with their strong baht. I reckon next week they will be singing a different sound.
  4. A Pilots knows international time in all places, as it is worked in UTC and not local time. In addition, Changi International Airport is 24hrs/7 and can and will accept a business jet. If he had an appointment there to see his Doctors, he would have landed there. It was never his intent on landing in Singapore. We all watch and see if he will return.

  6. If your current wife extension is not expired, and you have not gotten the divorce by the Judge / Ampur, and you have the added 400,000 baht. Switch to Non- O retirement visa. The procedure takes a day, once you have all their paperwork. They will asked "why" tell them less hassle, and no consideration stamp. "DO NOT TELL THEM YOU ARE GETTING DIVORCE" Once divorced, go to your Embassy get an letter of affidavit, of your passport, get the letter translated into Thai. Take all that the Ampur required and get your divorce certificate and register your divorce. You are done.
  7. I am not sure, but if outside and do not have an active Thai sim in ones phone and roaming you cannot download Krungsri app on your phone I think even Shopee. Lazada you can. I sure would like to hear if others can.
  8. Not sure where you are, but if in Bangkok, the process to get a Certificate Of Resident, they put it in the post. It took Thursday - Tuesday to get it. I went to DLT in Nonthaburi / Pathum Thani / finally Bangkok province to get it. None, I mean none of the DLT took my Yellow book as proof of resident here, they all give me a requirement paper, and they all required a COR from Immigration department. I came from Toronto a few days ago, and Thrifty / Hertz / there would not take a Thai DL unless you have a Thai IDL. They told me it is the law in Canada. For me, I have (3) other valid DLs, but my spouse had only Thai, and she was not able to go on the rental application. At the DLT, you would see a sign stating "Walk-In", but honestly that line is for Thais, because I tried and was sent out the line. My wife and I have learnt our lesson, to always have a valid Thai IDL if traveling with a Thai drivers license.
  9. Great points. I hope others from the community, will post their experience here from different Provinces that will be a huge help to all.
  10. I was told to report back on this forum, what are the requirements for one to get a Thai IDP. Let me say, I know of a fact, that Canada & UAE vehicle rental companies will not accept a Thai driver's license to rent a vehicle unless it is accompanied with an IDP. My wife tries and could not drive the car I rented. I would think the same would be asked, if driving a private vehicle and stopped by the cops. How to get one here in Thailand. You would need a: valid Thai driver's license: letter from Immigration of your resident : Doctor's certificate, valid for less that (1) month : Original Passport with long term visa, (2) passport size Photos. Copies of all, and sign all copies. Speaking of Bangkok, not sure the requirements in other provinces. No appointments required, take the above papers to your Department of Land Transportation (DLT). The section that deals with Driver's license and have your documents check, they will hand you a chit to pay ฿505. Then go back to them and hand them the receipt, and just wait. Best to get the 1949 version, validity (1) year, as the the 1968 validity (3) years does not cover various countries to drive. I believe it goes with your passport but you can tell them you need it to drive in blah blah country / countries.
  11. Thanks, A few years back I used BB & Krungsri Bank to send back, they did asked reason, just said I was leaving for home. But now are days Thai banks are getting crazy with foreigners and local alike want you to take a photo blah blah, Krungsri even wants you to come in with your passport to take that said photo.
  12. I went to AIS and was told to get OTP from a Thai Bank outside you need data roaming. Not sure if they were trying to sell me a packing. I returned home, disabled AIS, using VPN in my router on a foreign country, I connected to wifi on my mobile, rechecked my IP and location is in that country, opened Krungsri app took awhile to open, guess they were checking my IP, but was in. I have experience with Krungsri if they update their app and required to update your passport information you must go into a branch, unlike Bangkok Bank where you lift up your passport and move one head from side to side, smile etc. Krungsri stated you must visit a branch to do this. They literally lock the account unit I went in.
