Pre-paid Credit Card
Check out Freedom Card. There are no fees whatsoever. With the basic tier card you get 0.3% cashback in crypto. You have the option to stake $Freedom tokens for interest and higher rates of cashback. For example if you stake 10000 bath for a year you will get 1% interest + 1% cashback in crypto. You will have to register on the Thai crypto exchange Bitazza + on the Freedom card website for this. No issues with a yellow book.

Dual citizenship
I am a dual citizen and once the Io showed me her computer screen after biometrics scan asking me if I am a dual citizen. Both of my passport photos and data came up on her screen. Unlikely that they will let you in

Border run at Ban Pakkad by oneself.
I highly doubt that they let you do that these days. Both Cambodian and Thai immigration now require fingerprints and photos upon crossing the border.

Anybody know where I can pick up a couple of Ukraine Football shirts?
AliExpress. The championship might be over by the time it arrives from China.

Driving without valid driver's license in Thailand
Thailand is not what you think is. You get stopped occasionally and asked to produce a valid driving licence. If you haven't got one you'll have a problem like in any civilised country.

Immigration officers told to increase screening of foreigners in Thailand
Clearly the government hasn't delivered on the election promises so now have to spice things up with a good old nationalist crap just like in Russia, Hungary, Cambodia, China or North Korea.

Only Single-entry Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage offered on web portal.
For the one year multiple entry. The money doesn't need to be seasoned. At least that's what I heard.

Possibly (very) dumb ? about Korat IO marriage ext'.
Have your photos saved on your phone or a usb stick and print your black and white photos. In case the Io doesn't accept the black and white you can still go to a nearby print shop quickly.

Bitazza Exchange: A Foreigner-Friendly Alternative to Bitkub
Thanks for that. I was in need of a farang friendly Thai exchange and stumbled upon your post. Kyc was approved in a day. App looks good, a bit low volume but ok to cash out. The credit card is a bonus.

Car Insurance
I'm pretty happy with Roojai. App has English version. They also have English customer service over the phone. Price fairly cheap with options to reduce it further. Had one claim so far. They paid, no issues.

Mukdahan parking
It is probably the most expensive car park in Isaan though. They charge nearly a Thai daily minimum wage for a day's parking.. That was my point but of course not expensive for most farangs. They are running a very lucrative racket there. Understand now?
-
Mukdahan parking
It is expensive indeed. At some other crossings you pay half of that for overnight parking. Also a hotel room in Savanakhet costs less than that ????

Mukdahan parking
I have been there by car a few times. Very expensive car park but never had an issue. There are usually a few ladies at the car park full time because you pay on leaving so they won't want to miss the hefty parking fees.

Selling on Amazon, Etsy, Ebay and Retirement Visas.
None will give a toss or know in Thailand. Ignore those who say otherwise. On the other hand the shipping fees and times are insanely high and whatever you are trying to sell will be offered at half the price on eBay, Amazon,etc
