BKK Bank 4 months banked method??
Just to cheer you up... I'm a foreign woman who was recently able to formally marry my Thai girlfriend at the Amphur. 'Wanna guess if I got the "no money in the bank required" exclusion for my visa extension? No cheerful stamp here either - blatant sexism, agreed!

RE: Changing SS monthly payment from US bank to Thai Bank
Once having gone through the paperwork (and praying it gets processed properly), what are the perceived or actual advantages to making this change?

Eye Lid Surgeon Chiang Mai
I would be hesitant to quote a price... Suffice it to say that my friend had it done elsewhere and his was double the amount I paid. You will find that Dr Wimon's English is perfect and her ability to outline alternatives and make recommendations based on sound experience is truly refreshing! Try a consult and make your own decision - no appointment is required for her clinic.

Eye Lid Surgeon Chiang Mai
'Just had mine done by Dr Wimon who has been chief of surgery at CMU for the past 8 years. Although she performs more complex plastic surgeries at Suandok/Sripat, she did my eyelids in her clinic in ChiangMaiLand, just south of the Night Bazaar. Relatively painless procedure and after just over a week, the results have me wondering why I waited so long! Here is Dr Wimon's website. https://www.drwimonclinic.com/en/ All the best!

Civil Union in A Muang
'Just wanted to acknowledge an exceptionally good experience in registering our same-sex civil union at the Amphur Muang Office earlier today. We walked in at 8.30 (sans appointment), presented our very complete paperwork and despite the fact there was a single officer to man the desks, we walked out around 2 hours later all sorted. From start to finish, everything was efficient and incredibly painless. Still stunned - kudos to the brilliant staff!

AIS Olympics Coverage
Thank you very much - but do I understand that being already an AIS mobile customer, I will also be required to purchase one of their packages in order to watch this event?

AIS Olympics Coverage
According to the AIS website: Thai viewers can watch live and replayed footage, and show their support for Thai competitors in every event for free, and from any network, on every channel of AIS PLAY. There is exclusive content for AIS subscribers through the mobile app, the AIS PLAYBOX set-top box, SAMSUNG Smart TV, Apple TV and the website aisplay.ais.co.th. There are also collaborations with major media partners enabling Thai viewers to access broadcasts through websites, such as Matichon, Khao Sod, Manager, SIAM Sport and PPTV HD. So - does that mean that anyone who has AIS Play and who subscribes to AIS (in what capacity? mobile? internet?) will be able to watch for free? There are various packages on offer once AIS Play has been installed but it's unclear if any are required here. Any insight?

Lazada : " Your account has been closed"
Finally got unstuck after installing the app on my phone (where my account showed as frozen as opposed to closed). Clicked yes when prompted to unfreeze. Then, was finally able to sign back in on PC without further ado. Had to share the moment. Good luck all!

Lazada : " Your account has been closed"
How did you sent your screenshot to them? I can't find any contact other than the forever phone line...

Lazada : " Your account has been closed"
Same thing here. Tried to phone them twice today but was on hold for more than 30 min each time with no success. It would be great to know how multiple accounts are possible with only a single phone number... 'Been a happy customer for years - sure wish they get this sorted!

Car Wrapping in Chiang Mai?
You may want to check with the car registration office beforehand. Does the wrap color affect what color the car is registered in - or does it remain the underlying color on its original paperwork? When the color is changed by painting, the paint shop needs to provide documentation which must be subsequently filed. One might assume wrapping would be similar but maybe not worth the confusion/hassle. Just sayin...
