I had the same problem trying to pay for the Hong Kong-Macau bridge shuttle bus. Thai credit card added to WeChat pay. but it didn't work. Would be very interested in a solution.

currently there are no international scheduled flights in Chiang Rai, so no Immigration & Customs standing by. Not a good idea to divert there in case CNX is closed.

agree with some of the previous posters: If its not an overly complicated case, then filing yourself online is relatively straightforward. I have my wife look over my shoulder and confirm when I am not sure what something means.

French bakery Chouquette has decent bread.

Thank you for the detailed reply!

I am a EU national living and working in Thailand. Assuming that, within Thailand, I will rely on my social security office coverage (and possibly pay out of pocket), what are my best options for international coverage? I frequently have 1-2 week trips to EU, US, and other developed countries, where I would want to be covered should I get ill or have an accident. Should I go with a Thai provider or are there international providers with better plans?

I wonder what's the reasoning behind this practice? Wouldn't the operator be able to save on gas by using less aircon? why would the otherwise so entrepreneurial business owners be overlooking such an obvious area to save money?

that's why you should always look for the flight number, rather than the departure time.

like others said, its unlikely to be an issue. To calm her mind, why doesn't she make some refundable hotel bookings which she could show in case asked.

there is a shop selling second hand guitars at the Northeast corner of the moat (old town): https://maps.app.goo.gl/Atz4LeEmo7MDAEwj6

great to hear that this story had a happy ending. I would like to ask a related question: Is it advisable to buy NS3G land in the hopes of upgrading it later to chanote and building a house, or is that risky business? If I want to build a house, should I restrict my search purely to chanote land to be on the safe side?

Thank you for this refreshing perspective. With all of us (myself included) having gone through years and years of government schooling, its no wonder that we are all somewhat biased towards schools as a non-negotiable institution, no matter the downsides. Especially in Thailand we see people working their lives away, spending hardly any time with their children only to be able to send them to the "best" school.

thank you for the info. I am waiting for my tax refund to get approved and then probably have to do the same thing (opening a Krungthai account)

I am hoping more people can add their personal experience here. I am also due a tax refund (waiting for the confirmation) and don't have a Krungthai account. Does the account have to be in my name? or could I give them my wife's Krungthai account details?
