It would be interesting to see if it is shown on the old site. 

Shortcut to get to it. https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn90online/online/tm47/TM47Action.do?cmd=acceptTerm

Sir honestly I have to say that we have to wait till tomorrow for them to process all these completed applications. At least we have to thank them for keeping their servers online during a Sunday. Yesterday a Saturday they shut their servers down. I am sure that by evening they will shut down their servers down again till tomorrow. Have a great day sir ubon joe. 

Checked application status and a PDF form popped up on their website with my information already typed in.  Signed etc. Now we just have to wait for Monday etc for them to process the data and reply back

I have been trying since yesterday morning and no luck. Just now I tried and got my confirmation email saying that they received a completed application.  They will respond to me in two to three days.  Please everyone try to register now and get a login email from immigration where they give you a password to login using the same email address you originally provided

Yes, you are absolutely right and your plan of actions make a lot of sense. I am satisfied and follow your lead on January 9th on when I really need the app to work

When I click on the 90 days report immigration icon on my phone app I am getting a pop up saying service error and a done button to exit the app.  Second day now, it is giving me that service error msg, and my renewal is not due till January 23.  Before when I clicked on the icon during the middle of my validity, the tells me I good through etc and when my next reporting is and even gives me an option to re print. Now nothing. Don't want to uninstall because of the saved cookies. Do you suggest wait till January 13 and try.

Hi Celcius, When my small DeLonghi was playing up I contacted De L in bangkok via facebook. Very helpful english speaking guy put me in touch with their CM repair agent, out in Mae Hia.

After calling him, he collected it, repaired it, and brought it back-under warranty. He was a very good guy and I think a one man band and not expensive. I have just searched unsuccessfully for his card.  Maybe if you contact the maker of your machine theywill point you towards their man in CM.

If not, you could be cheeky and ask De Longhi for their chiang mai repair guy. he is not exclusive to them.

Best of luc

You didn't ask me, but my wife just had her machine repaired by Hilkoff (I'm sorry but I can't remember the brand, which I think starts with 'E'- it's a small but professional-grade machine that cost ~100K new)- it had been unused for a while and we decided to get it going again.  One of the two pumps needed replacing, and only one of the four 'pour setting' buttons worked (this was apparently a major job to fix)- it cost 14K to repair, and now works like new.  They originally quoted 20K, so I was happy to hear it was less in the end.

 

The repair guy was very nice to deal with and picked up and returned the machine in a Hilkoff truck.

Hello beau and flare,. Thanks for the update.  I asked how much you guys paid is I wanted to get an idea as to where do I draw the line when they quote a price to a point that I better get a second opinion price. For example I am going to yok intertrade first next to Bangkok Hospital . The tech is coming to my place. If the price is reasonable then ok too high I will go to Hillkoff store. These are the 2 choices.  Just because you came in 100 K. Mercedes to get a 30K espresso machine repaired I don't think that they will quote a different price than a local Thai. Big repair shops for cars, electronics and appliances don't charge by " local " and foreigner. That is my presumption. A fruit vendor, vegetables vendors may spontaneously jack up the price when they see who is buying. Then again not in Chiang Mai I am guessing. May be in Bangkok it could be true. In Chiang Mai I see happy faces everywhere.  I am only referring to urban Chiang Mai.  Any how thanks again.

Had our machine repaired at Hilkoff. Reasonable price and fixed properly.

I know that it has been 6 years but can I please ask you how much you paid and what you meant by reasonable price

Appreciate your reply. I have already gone through you tube videos. The problem is beyond diy . Hillkoff coffee that sells Gaggia machines also has a repair shop attached. I was going to the forum to see if someone can recommend even a better idea

Hello cm forum. I have a Gaggia Brera espresso coffee machine that needs repair in CHIANG MAI city. May I please ask if anyone can help me find a repair shop. Thank you very much

I get the same thing. I have a link bookmarked for the English page and to got the same message. Edited url and it in Thai and got the same result when changing it to English.

Just try again later and it may work or use Google translate to change it to English.

Hello Ubonjoe I did my mobile phone app 90 day in may-june and got approved in 2 days.  So I was good though July. Around June I logged into the mobile app to what it would do, the app was unresponsive then. I went to the forum to see what other members were experiencing. I remember seeing your post around June saying that the online service is not working.  So I uninstalled the app and said bye to it. Now in July my 90 days report was due. In Chiang Mai the RTC Bus is still not back in business. So I took a chance and reinstalled the mobile app and logged in. Nice all the user name and password were stored already. Entered my information and the immigration office verified it with their database and in 2 days emailed me that I was approved. I tend to believe that the app is smart and gets alive on the phone when it is time for me to get back to business with the immigration office. Assuming some cookies they install in my phone.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this membership, I helped myself a lot but unable to give back due to my insignificant foot print.

Is this the reason why the Bhat is losing its value since the past one week. From 31.00 Bhat per dollar to 31.78 Bhat today and maybe go up even higher

Immigration had a message on the app download page stating it was down before they redid their site. Now they do not even have links to them.

Thank you very much sir ubonjoe. Wishing you a happy 4th of July 2020

Hello sir ubonjoe, I sincerely appreciate your response. Now I can stop wondering what happened. Cause I too saw the message from immigration office saying that the site is under maintenance two days ago. Today I reinstalled the app to see if I can access it. No luck. Thus I posted this query and promptly got a response from you. Thanks for your reply. Peace

I appreciate all the responses. However I was talking about the 90 day reporting app from Thailand immigration that you download from Google play store and install. This is a mobile version of 90 day reporting. I used it during lockdown and got my approval. Now Post lockdown in June the app is not working. In this app you create an account and can verify your 90 day reporting status etc or even print a copy. Peace

I used the 90 day reporting app a month ago to report and received a confirmation from the app that I can print. I was able to frequently login and view my profile using the app. Two days ago the app is not working. When I went to the website it said that the app is under maintenance.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, while I was there I read some reviews and the very first one posted in June says that the app stopped working just recently in June.  Is the app really down? 

Regarding making a fuss about the TM 30, I imagine that (guessing) when they enter your passport number, they have to get some sort of response from their server, which I presume the hotel reporting your stay. If nothing pops up on the screen then a fuss will be generated..... As far as packing your bags, and making a phone call... I would recommend just chill and relax, you are really taking it too serious. Instead consentrate on where to stay the next 30 days. You can explore the country. And remember to ask the senior members if you have to report your stay to the immigration office with in 24 hours every time you move from one city to another city or place, as you go along spending the additional 30 days they grant. 30 days extensions are cash cows in Thailand and are processed very rapidly, in hundreds daily. Each extension is worth Bhat 1900 B . 

I am just a member like you and with the little knowledge that I have, I would like to say that the hotel will be fined a big sum for not reporting your stay with in 24 hours of your check in. And I imagine that you may also be fined. Since the senior members did not bring this matter, I decided to mention it. I am sure that as your post gets more views, some one will mention it. 

I purchased a 4mbps 32 GB limit per month for 100B renewable for one year from AIS store one day ago. Today I went back to buy the same package and was told that it is no longer available. What is available is unlimited 4 and 10 Mbps at 150 and 200 B respectively. Including VAT. Both packages can be renewed for one year. A one time fee of 50 Bhat for the SIM card.  Phone calls are 1 B first minute and 1.4 Satang next minute. 

In April last year Charliebadenhop posted his retirement visa application process. I followed the same steps and got my one year extension which is due for renewal in April 2020. The extension I am planning to apply in January 2020.  I have the financial part taken care of, a fixed deposit account with 800K sitting in the bank account since April 2019.  Proof of residency. Home address location map image. Photo copies of all passport pages plus any stapled pieces of doc's. Photo copies of all Bank passbook pages.  Letter from Bank vouching the presence of the funds, 800K.  Of course the necessary immigration forms that I would be asked to fill out and complete on the day I arrive at the immigration office.  Did I miss anything. I would like to ask the members of the Forum to please kindly guide me through this process. Thank you all very much for all your help and support I received over the past one year of my stay here in Chiang Mai.

Depends on a number of factors. See a cardiologist. There are none on this forum, only guessers, people who think you are just like them and a few miscellaneous who don’t give advice.

Yes it is absolutely true.  Everyone who is taking a cholesterol lowering medicine has been told by their doctors to Start the medicine. And just like BP medicine we take them for life, unless of course a blood test warrants a change in dosage Etc.  See a doctor and get your blood tests done. Some that I can remember are cholesterol levels, liver function, blood sugar levels, prostrate function, thyroid function, kidney function, typically most of your major organs are tested during a blood test. To get better results you are asked to fast 8-10 hours before the blood test draw.  Only water and any medicines could be taken during the fast. No food.  Don't be silly and eat a giant piece of Steak or feast on a gallon of ice cream 10 hours before the blood test.  Just eat a balanced meal and go to bed. I am happy that for a change I am contributing to the forum instead of feeding off it all the time.

 Please , could  you inform me off cholestrol levels ,

     Above what level, is medication required . 

First of all I want to thank all the responses so far and sure would appreciate to see even more. I am the OP guy.  Next I could answer Ellis question, piece of cake. But with respect to all the Senior members I will sit back and let the seniors respond to the chlolesterol levels question. Sincerely.

Thanks Bill97 this is what our next door pharmacy quoted and willing to match other prices in Chiang Mai.

400 tablets 40mg Sandoz company

B 11,965 FOR 400 TABLETS 40 MG.

1000 tablets 40 mg Sandoz company  B 29,000.  Not much of a savings  here. 

Milimed 900 tablets,  Chlovas

40 mg B 16,500. Good savings here.

Thanks Bill97 any idea how much you paid and for what strength+what brand name/manufactured in ?

Do I need a prescription for the medicine?

I am running out of my atorvastatin/lipitor, wondering where members living in Chiang Mai are getting their atorvastatin from.

I take 80mg but will settle for 2 tablets of 40 mg strength. Buying simvastatin is not an option since my doctor switched me to atorvastatin from simvastatin. Thanks for your help
