Hi Guys Sorry if the question is dumb! Been here 5 years on O-A based on retirement with wife as dependent. Get annual multi re-entry when we get our annual renewal. Returned to Thailand after short trip on 24th June. Got auto email from Immigration last week advising wife needs to do 90 day on 6th Aug (90 days after last report) but nothing for me. Went to Phuket Immigration today and assistant says to ignore email and go with 90 days from 24th June. That was my gut feel but wanted to check if anyone has any wise words of guidance. Much appreciated 🍻

One look at the stupid facial recognition farce at Krungsri bank will tell you everything you need to know about the state of financial management in Thailand

I spoke to them and they said the issue was something to do with flooding and their engineers were "working on it" but that was 2 days ago. Managed to unfreeze my account on the mobile app this morning but had to use a second mobile number in the unfreeze process. Luckily I could use my wife's but they really don't think about how many problems this sort of process will cause people. Good luck

That must be one special bike to take on all that hassle and risk!!

How did someone so thick become a millionaire in the first place??

Hi, let me get in touch with them and get back to you 🍻

Not sure where you are based but here on Phuket I would look to a charity like "Phuket Has Ben Good To Us Foundation". They do amazing work for orphaned and under-priviledged children. I have done some work with them so have seen first hand how the charity is run and the amazing people involved who do so much with so little funding

Things do seem to be better after the weekend but still far from "Perfect" 🍻

Why are we here? Because we're here Roll the bones Rush - 1991 🍻

I updated to version 1.2.1 yesterday and it seems to have fixed the issue on two units but still major problems with main TV unit. Following back from them after further bouts of complaints (told them how pissed off we all were and we were all looking for a new supplier). Following response: "Please stand by for an app update which will use a different delivery system, this will be running by the end of the weekend and will make things much smoother for Thailand based users. There will also be many new great features added in this update". I am missing Great British Menu because of this 🍻

Hey Guys Finally got a decent response from their support team and it turns out the version we downloaded on instruction from Pulse is not the latest version. Following is the message in full: "The latest version is 1.2.1 If you are not on that then click the option that says 'Check for updates'. After a few seconds It should then show a message at the bottom of the screen saying there is an update available and it will install shortly. Then it will open a page that asks you if you want to update the app, You click yes, Or Install if that is the option. The new version should then install. Some boxes have a security feature switched on that doesn't allow the update. If that is the case for you then on that security message that pops up. You will be able to click settings. Which will take you to the security setting that allows you to move a slider next to 'Perfect' that allows the app to then install updates. Now if you go back to the perfect app settings and click that 'Check for updates' button it will this time install the update for you". Will give it a go and see if it makes any difference - good luck!! 🍻

Had hoped that things would improve but it is getting worse! Impossible to play anything on catch up and live TV just buffering all the time. Any suggestions for an alternative provider please? 🍻

Let's hope things improve 🍻

Yes, have been with Pulse for four years - now PerfectPlayer. Would say system is far from perfect! Main issues we have is when trying to play historical stuff rather than live. Get a stream of letters along the bottom of the screen and program will not play. Also suffer from long buffering times on a regular basis. 🍻

Nah, tried it for a day once a few years back and it just didn't agree with me 🍻

She's a keeper

Hi Guys Is the air quality in Chiang Mai as bad as reported in the media right now? Was thinking about a trip up there next weekend but having second thoughts. 🍻

How many people you need steak for? There are some good options to order and get delivery

Villa Market are an absolute rip off for steaks

Thanks for my morning Laugh Out Load moment

Always ready for a chilled Beer Lao ????

Sirinat National Park at the top end of Layan Beach is as "on the beach: as you will probably get. Seen loads of people camping there (mostly Thais but some Farangs) over the two years I was up there cleaning the beach early mornings.

Think you have just revealed your own IQ with your comment "any farang riding a motorbike in Thailand is " low IQ." ????

I only looked at Wise once last year but it was a better deal to instruct my offshore bank to do a USD transfer (they charged USD 45) straight to SCB. Got a fixed amount quote from Wise but got more baht in to the account using transfer. Can't give you the proof so no charity donation needed ????

Just recovering from it and wish I had got the vaccine. Too late now as doc said getting it gives strong immunity for 7 years or so. Doc also said 60 + for vaccine. ????
