As my Thai wife has noticed our 2 night stay in Sukhothai has started to be a TM30 stress fest on my behalf, she rang our landlord about it. The landlord said on our return we just needed to take my passport to CM immigration; show the original TM30 receipt in the back of my passport and tell them we are back, please update...????

As this is my first night in Sukhothai I will ask the owner tomorrow if she is filing a TM30.....if she does what does that mean in my situation?

The Homestay owner here in Sukhothai took a photo of my passport page only with her phone, which was done in front of me. She has no other info on me other than my passport page.

Guess this topic has been done to death and a lot of varying info on it. Just seeking a straight answer...I am residing in CM and do my reports there in person. The rear of my passport has the TM30 receipt from my landlord. Currently in Sukhothai for 2 nights in a Homestay then returning to CM . The property owner here has a photo of my passport page to report my stay to immigration in Sukhothai; some other info from elsewhere says within 30 hours of return to CM I download TM30 fill out and submit to CM Immigration online or in person. Further info says my landlord does it. My stay in Sukhothai is beginning to be filled with too many questions in my head. Only recent on retirement extension in CM and have done 2 90 day reports. Can any learned person out there please tell me what to do

I'm doing my first online report after having done my first in person. Only one question. At the very end it asks for contact person's details with a box above saying Use Login Information. I have never nominated a contact person prior; would it be my Thai wife even though I'm on retirement extension? Cheers.

My IP Address says Chonburi Thailand....I am living in Chiangmai and AIS purchased in CM. So no real problem just curious why Shopee App doesn't see me as being in Thailand.

No matter what I do or where I try to download from the result is always the same. Photo attached. Which means I use Lazada or Amazon in that order.

I have tried many times to buy from Shopee but cannot download their app.....says not available in your country.....which has been Thailand for 6 months. They have a camera I want at 62000 but cannot buy and Lazada don't have it. I do not have a VPN activated on my phone. So use Lazada.

I have two Phillips AC2887 air purifiers (PM2.5), and three of the local CM ones. Both of the Phillips have new filters and display the PM2.5 reading also; the local ones don't but I do have two Chinese Air Quality monitors for inside the house. The situation is the Phillips purifier/monitors give a vastly different reading from the stand alone monitors. I have attached two photos taken in my computer room which show two vastly different reading with the devices whilst standing two metres apart. The same goes in my living room with the other Phillips and stand alone monitor. As I'm in the at risk group so would like to know the current true reading of the PM2.5 particles so I can either put another purifier in the occupied space or not. At the moment I am running an air purifier 24/7 in the room I occupy. I chose to live here so please no lectures....I am just trying to adjust to the situation and am seeking advice on a way to get a true PM2.5 reading...perhaps a good monitor...not sure.

Yes.... many, worth a look.

I had a clothes rack delivered today which I had ordered, unfortunately a few of the verticle rails were damaged (photo taken). The seller of course blames the courier etc so no problem. Instead of further chat with the seller, I will pay a local to fix it so it can be put together. Does anyone out there know of someone who can do such a fix? I live in the San Kampheang District Tambon Ton Pao. Cheers.

I have been looking at buying a phone from Alibaba or Trinity Electronics. Has someone out there done so and cost of bringing into Thailand. Cheers.

That's a puzzle to me...I reviewed my settings a number of times using the help of some YouTubers and in the end bingo.

Yes I'm using good cards; at the end if the day the problem was fixed.

Yes, and did so in camera + cleaned up contact points. After that tested both cards in another camera.

Does anyone know of a camera technician/guru in Chiangmai? I have a Fujifilm XT4 new, but not purchased in country. I have literally spent hours finding out why SD cards won't record an image. Have searched everywhere I know of and tested cards in another camera but the solution not found. I of course have revised my camera settings; looked at camera gurus on YouTube. Now looking for local help. To finalize, there is no card error message that comes up, just "no image" when looking at preview.

I am looking at accommodation for 4 nights definately 2 April - 6 April 2023 for 2 including my small dog. My preferences in area would be somewhere known to be quieter. Today I did find somewhere that looks great with rooms specifically to accommodate pets as well but near the pool on ground level. Some older reviews state any rooms near the pool area tend to be noisey as had Chinese tour groups coming and going all hours; who also tended to be noisey around the pool. Okay.......not prejudiced but want relative quiet. The direct hotel quote including the dog (and his food and bedding was 10000) No problem but kind of put off now by previous reviews. Are there any pet owners out there who can recommend a good hotel that allow pets? Transport is no problem as driving there from another province.

I enquired with the discount pharmacy in Babgkok; Lipitor 80MG x 30 pack $AUD106, full price same in Aust is $AUD16 without pensioner discount. So discount pharmacy ???

Living in San Kamphaeng District; I was prescribed Atorvastatin and Metoprolol post NSTEMI early 2020 in Melbourne. I brought up enough to last until late January 2023 and will need to somehow obtain the same in my area to keep up its use. In Australia a prescription is required, so I guess it is here unless I travel all the way to a certain pharmacy in Kanchanaburi for it. My question is as I haven't been involved in the local medical system and hopefully never will, is finding a GP; my wife uses the Lanna Hospital under her national coverage so good for her. I am still organising health insurance, so in the meantime I will be paying for what or if any treatment required. How to find a good English speaking GP??? I am also assuming these meds are available in Chiangmai? Many thanks for any relative guidance out there .

Amnuay Motor Air it is then for this weekend. Thanks for the info. I will close this off.

I am looking for someone who can install my newly purchased 70mai Dash Cam A800S + Rear Cam Set. I am in suburban Chiangmai living in a village off San Kamphaeng Road; vehicle is Honda HRV.... Of course I will pay a fee for installation and attending at my house. Is there a forum member here that can do or know someone that can do.......properly. I am no tech head so hopeless with this type of stuff. Cheers.

Myself, wife and little terrier are planning a road trip from Chiangmai to Nan Province for at least 4 days during the Christmas period. Can anyone from the forum give a recommendation from their experience of a human and pet friendly resort/homestay with views in Nan Province. Not having much luck with Agoda etc due the heavy "get you in" thing. Cheers.

I am seeking personal recommendations from the forum on a pet friendly resort for myself, wife and small dog to stay for about 4 days in Nan Province Christmas period....travelling from Chiangmai. Have experienced nothing but frustrations with the major players in the travel arena such as Agoda etc. Cheers

Many thanks CMBob; I found your response very helpful. Cheers

Yes the TM 30 was filled out by my Thai landlord in front of myself and wife at the beginning of November when we started the lease. Apparently she has had foreigners before in her houses and is quite aware of this document.
