I can understand all your considerations so well. With an application and 2-4 digital copies of the passport, one probably has peace for the next 20 years. Strangely enough, no further documentation is necessary! My wife already does the stupid 90-day notifications online with a left hand! In contrast, LTR is still far too complex for me ;-). The problem is, there are a lot of confusing possibilities in the legal and grey area to realise a long stay in Thailand. But each of the rather modest options can be very unsatisfactory in itself.
 Everyone has to decide for themselves what is best. There are many people who have no choice but also enough people who see it as a challenge to defy the bureaucratic madness every year anew or even enjoy this kind of contact and have fun doing it, or at least don't mind the degrading procedure or are happy to have managed it at least so far relatively cheaply, which I think are also very good reasons why they should throw the money at TPC? On the other hand, despite the middle class crumbling again, there are more and more people in absolute numbers worldwide for whom one or more million baht is the least problem of all, why should they face this annual ridiculous immigration procedure if they don't enjoy it so much and can buy their way out of it? No one should have to justify why everyone chooses one of the many rather modest options that seem to be the "best" for them ...

The last sentence in clause 5.3 of this "Easy Access" plan seems very problematic: “The Company reserves the rights to change the said fees, charges, and method of payments without prior notice.” This gives TPC carte blanche to charge whatever upgrade fees they want, even without notice? The 12-day deadline and the way it was communicated was more than borderline and anything but "elite". One can only hope that TPC have understood that this can ruin their reputation. Legal certainty is not that way ...

When does the 20 year period 4x5 years start? With the sending of the welcome letter or with the receipt of the visa?

OK, I get it now ;-), but this is not really a new requirement. Bank letter, updated passbook and copy thereof and 12 months statement are requested.

What is meant by certified copy of passbook? Certified by KrungSri? Normally I make a copy of the updated passbook at immigration, so why do I need it certified? I print out the statement at home, the bank letter is issued by KrungSri in MaptaPut and update passbook there, of course it takes 30-40 minutes. All the paperwork with immigration takes another ~30 minutes.

That was a bit hasty my doubts were fortunately unjustified IKEA just wrote to me: "We would like to inform you after consideration that our team will deliver a new MATMÄSSIG induction hob to your home for replacement. And they will take your old induction hob back to IKEA. Could you please disassemble it for them to take back?"

My knowledge of cookware for induction cookers is also rather rudimentary. However, what you write about this is exactly the same as my experience! Thank you for these explanations, which are also easy for me to understand and helpful as well, and your last assumption was not wrong ,-) Of course, thanks also go to all the others who supported me with their helpful suggestions, expressly except IKEA because apart from PDFs and excuses and now 3 days of silence, not much really came, after this after-sale experience we have considerable doubts about the value of the 5-year warranty promise in an actual warranty case at all … At least from the first impression, it seems to be a good device at a fair price!

I was able to take a measurement today There are 229-231V at the sockets. The cooker itself: First measured phase off 197.9V on 198.6V; Second measured phase off 198.7V on 198.8V Surprisingly low values what explanations could there be for this? But after the third attempt to determine the voltage under load, crackling noises were to be heard, at the latest now it was time to check the contacts and indeed it felt a bit loose ... I could do without further measurements - all is well! Thank you very much!????

Thank you for your assessment! I would be pleased if this is the case. I have been a bit disturbed by some reports of bent or even singed cutlery trays under the induction cooker. As I mentioned in my opening post, all my cookware on another induction cooker works flawlessly! Stainless steel cookware is actually considered by many sources to be induction cooker compatible, and this is how many stainless steel products are advertised at HomePro , IKEA etc. About my "Hemkomst" IKEA pot shown in the photo, you will find the following product description on the website: "This stainless steel pot has a spout to make …" "Product details Works well on all types of hobs, including induction hob …"

Now there is one more thing I almost forgot to mention. I ordered the induction cooker alongside a sink & traps from IKEA at the very beginning of planning my new kitchen. At that point it was already clear that it was going to be a concrete kitchen, but without the knowledge that this concrete would be stabilised with rebar. Only during the construction did I realise that this could be a problem for the induction cooker. I asked the craftsman responsible to remove as much of the rebar as possible. Under the cooker and at the back and sides everything is free, but at the front exactly in the insertion area we unfortunately could not remove a steel strut in order not to destabilise the whole underbody. However, at the time I was afraid that the reinforcing steel could heat up. Here are 2 photos, could this be the cause of the error message?

Great, thanks, that helps! I don't have a meter in the house, and even though I understand everything we're discussing here, I don't have any practical experience in it, because I usually have everything that concerns craftsmanship and electrics done by the appropriate craftsmen. I actually rule out the possibility that it's the cookware. As I said, my frying pan and a saucepan that I was able to use on another induction cooker without any problems are made of stainless steel and the magnets also adhere very firmly to this cookware. But there is no sign on these cooking utensils that they are suitable for an induction cooker. That's why two weeks ago I ordered a saucepan from IKEA that was explicitly described as suitable for an induction cooker and also had the corresponding label. Two days ago, I suggested to IKEA that they send a specialist at my expense to investigate and, if necessary, solve the problem. Yesterday I received an email that it had been forwarded to the relevant department and that I should be a little patient ...

Thank you also for this advice! To be honest, I also suspect an appliance fault, but would like to clarify first whether the installation of the appliance is correct.

Thank you for the support many hints you already gave in this forum and of course now in my personal problem! Now to your question. The sticker on the appliance and the manual only provide these instructions for the electrical installation: The complete manual can be downloaded from this link: manuals matmaessig-induction-hob-ikea-300-black .pdf

I ordered an induction cooker online from Ikea in February with 4 plates, 2 of which have booster levels. The appliance consumes 7kWh in the maximum setting. 3 weeks ago I asked the electrician who installed our 3-phase PV to connect the cooker to the fuse box. The cooker was already wired for 3-phase operation as described in the manual. The cooker can now be switched on, but when we select cooking levels 1- to 9, the code "F" appears every 3-5 seconds, which, according to the product instructions, indicates that the cookware is allegedly not suitable for the induction hob. However, we only use cookware made of stainless steel to which, of course, magnets also adhere and which works without problems on other induction cookers, including an Ikea pot with stainless steel and all have the correct diameter! I took another look in our fuse box and noticed that the cooker was fused with two MCBs 32A by the electrician. Is that correct? Should the cooker be protected with a 3P MCB instead? For better understanding 3 photos: Enquiries at IKEA have not been very fruitful so far. Despite my explicit enquiry, the electrical installation was not considered at all. The "help" was limited to sending pdfs that I had already downloaded before the purchase and with the contents of which I was very familiar, as well as the never-ending advice that cookware must be suitable for the induction cooker with the following diameters, and so on, Furthermore, in every mail exchange I was asked to send videos in various arrangements of the pots when the cooker is in operation, then always of course the same error code flashing F displayed again .... I would be very happy about any helpful hints here!

Unfortunately, this does not work navigation and Ora voice assistant only in Thai. There is also no English manual for the car neither as a book nor online offered in Thailand. Voice assistant can unfortunately not be deactivated has at least in the early days very often unrequested, radio e.g. turned on when my wife drives with and we usually talk in Thai. Google Maps works via CarPlay so delayed that it is not usable and apparently other customers have the same problem. Complaints have so far led to no problem resolution ... Sounds all not good I am despite all this quite happy with the car ,-)

One should not take all this too seriously. In a German television documentary, among others, a case was shown in Pattaya where Commissioner Big Joke busted a paedo bar and a German customer was able to buy his way back to Germany for a million baht after a few weeks in prison. This unreasonable jerk then complained in Germany that he had been set up, because the bar seemed as if everything was legal... Everything is a "big joke" in Thailand! From minute 15 Interview with BJ unfortunately without English subtitles

I switched to prepaid for my CarPlay unlimited plan 4mbit/s 150 bath, 20mbit/s 200 bath TrueMove, AIS offers exactly the same. Satisfied with both providers so far. As an eSim like my main sim no more hassle with plastic sim ...

All parts of cannabis plants and hemp plants will therefore no longer be considered narcotics. It is important to note that under this notification, the extracts from all parts of cannabis and hemp remain classified as narcotics under Category 5, with the following exceptions: No idea if that is the missing link and all plantings must be registered before right?

Thank you for the answer. I had already inquired last week via the website contact form and given email address of the brochure and did not receive a reply until today. Then contacted the email addresses from the "Participating Namelist and Contact list" today and actually received a response after 2 hours. I was offered a brochure and only the new 100K USD coverage. It seems that you have to explicitly ask for the "old" and still valid(?) 40K/440K offers, although I pointed out when I asked that I would like to extend my stay in June. What I did immediately and I am now waiting for an answer ... These are the prices of the new 100K USD coverage, from the so called "Elite Series for Long Stay VISA O-A with Deductible": Brochure -Long Stay VISA 100K USD.pdf NEW.PDF

This Page has been down "404" since last week and the relatively favorable terms 100k-200k deductible OPD/IPD for 440k/40k can no longer be found. Only the new rates from 3 million coverage limit without price list ...

I find the ceiling fans from Mr.Ken, which concerns the design and the very economical and quiet DC motors, really very good but the remote controls that were available have never convinced me, were rather inferior. Either they broke or as with my last 2 ceiling fans (about 3 years ago) per piece 10000 Bath, the buttons of the remote controls were so flabby and unreliable that I contacted Mr.Ken again and asked for better models. My request remained unanswered in this regard ... With the help of Remote Hub + Appp from Broadlink, available for very little money also at Lazada, I could control all my countless IR & RF remotes in the household from my smartphone, tablets and Computers and even integrate them into HomeKit with the help of Homebridge on a Rasberry Pi. https://www.ibroadlink.com
