  1. They've been arrested in Cameroon and both were identified as Cameroonians according to this source https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2024/02/17/two-burmese-murder-suspects-will-be-sent-from-cameroon/
  2. Singapore don't allow their residents to even access the casino. Same policy for Thailand and problem solved. Lucrative business for Thailand.
  3. Judging by that avatar, your kind have never killed a fly in world history.
  4. If you've got the balance, there's 15mbps unlimited data for 200 baht/month by dialing *777*9026*009897# or 20mbps unlimited data for 300 baht/month by dialing *777*9127*009897# with both options allowing for tethering, meaning one can skip home internet expenses altogether. True have slightly better deals, so you might wanna drop by a 7-11 and get one of their sim cards to check for signal quality etc before making purchases.
  5. I was in the same situation as OP before corona broke out. I was holding a freshly stamped SETV from the Embassy in Hanoi and after 9 months of stay in the Kingdom I ran searches on Thai Visa and decided to fly into CNX. I was quite nervous at the queue for immigration check, but to my surprise everything was really smooth and I was stamped in real quick. Fun fact: I was almost denied boarding that same midnight on my way to BKK as I had celebrated my arrival a bit too much and the staff made me sit next to them on the plane to DMK.
  6. Plenty of 10-20mbps unlimited monthly plans for 200-300 baht on Shopee. If DTAC just run a search of "20mbps dtac unlimited" and search for activation codes looking at pictures of the reviewers. Speed might drop a bit during peak hours occasionally but pretty consistent otherwise. 1mbps at 350 baht sounds like an outright scam to me. Can choose true or ais too.
  7. I've landed BKK and Don muang several times and they never checked my 30kg+ luggage. Just bring whatever you want within reason
  8. Any woman who wouldn't marry you at your lowest can qualify as a bar girl regardless of her dexterity at playing pool.
  9. I opened mine at Krungsri On Nut in 2019 on a visa exemption claiming that I was gonna transfer money to buy a condo. Very useful indeed. Good luck.
  10. Thanks all for the replies. I'll have to take the loss I guess. Let this serve as a warning to all potential "customers". I just contacted 2c2p. If by any chance they intervene and I get the refund I will update this thread.
  11. Hello, I don't know how to proceed. Phuket city accepted refund of 3 swabs for a trip that was cancelled in July 2021 but to date they haven't provided any and they ceased communication even if I go through the refund procedure again using another email. They started claiming that there were problems with the 2c2p platform where the qr payment was made through Krungsri bank by a friend who lives in Thailand and after pushing them for months they ran out of excuses and started ignoring my emails. They have receipt and even front page of passbook as per they request. I don't know if a lawyer will end up costing more than the 7200 they promised to refund initially, but I am in Thailand now and I might go that route if needed. The fact that they are deceiving people into believing that they are providing refunds is frightening. I would discourage everyone against giving Phuket City one single cent.
  12. The Philippines reopens to double vaxxed from quite a few countries including Thailand just in case. Visa waiver for most Euros 30 days extendable for 30 more upon arrival at the airport. I personally will go either there or SG depending on overall expenses. Accomodation in SG is very expensive so a round trip to PH might be better if no land border crossing is not allowed by mid March. The dream situation of course would be the reopening of the Malaysian or Laotian land borders for an old-school border run.
  13. I'd swear I had my prepaid visa linked for a while on Grab with visa conversion rates. Also, Aliens can and do manage to open bank accounts in Thailand even visa exempt. I don't know the benefits of Grab Wallet, but the above is already enough for most. That said, cash and meter is usually cheaper and there's never shortage of taxis around. I save Grab for when there's a nice voucher or for emergencies eg no cash left or the odd late night Khaosan ride back to avoid the mafia.
