Cambodia has that, 30$ on arrival or 36$ for paying in advance online.

Who's the target here - 1st timers on VE? Or any farang even married ones with NON-O? If just for VE then cancel VE and go back to VoA then but state that it is now 60+30 days. And has no limit on back to back entries in Royal Gazette, that would be nice.

Every Thai has ID which is unique. Simple Mysql database with 1 simple table having a unique key based on that ID is enough to prevent any double registration. Checks are automatic and done by Mysql internal mechanisms when adding new row to the table. No rocket science really. No need for manual labor then.

Says Type of Visa: DTV on my sticker Category : DTV also what TR or NON-IMM are you talking about.

Your wife will be there with you, so you have "Royal flush" hand, can't have a better reason to enter Thailand.

Russians are allowed to have 2 travel passports at the same time, for some reason. Had both for about 4 years, both were valid until the 1st expired. So easy in Russia)

Full article mentions in the end that alternatives are: Screens of QR app Photos of DL B/w copy of DL but must show both sides. Because the QR code is on back side the cops can check it with their scanner from app/photo/copy. So no need for this app actually.

Did you change your passport? System has old passport number and does not accept new DL with new passport number

Phuket -> Bangkok Don Mueang last week was fine with DL. They just compare your name to boarding pass and look at photo

5 year old news, really??

Phuket, correct, year 2018. Choengthale branches.

I remember the battles at both KTB and Krungsri where my wife had to defend my honour) It was not so easy with that Non-O no n o no ) If you don't have Work Permit they treat you like a rabid dog at least in Phuket. SCB - Yellow book, DL, DTV. Didn't have restored pink ID yet. and it was enough.

I got accounts at KTB and Krungsri while I was married and back then thought that would be enough. Times change and one's wishes too. After divorce got ED visa and tried to open with it in 2022 - no go at SCB, even with book and id, they sent docs to head office and request was rejected. Same year tried to get Travel Card from KTB and only one! branch at least considered scanning my docs and sending them to head office - very very useful thing for those who don't have USD cards especially. Other branches: "nope only for Thais or show your work permit". Compared to KTB, Krungsri Boarding Card was super easy - just order one from app if you already have an account.

I'm trying to get EZ savings online account at SCB , to keep 500k at 1.5% rate. Went to 3 branches on Saturday, their responses: a) Work Permit required. Don't have one. b) Original yellow book required, copy will not do. Come back with original. I've lost original but went to Amphoe and managed to restore it along with pink ID card. c) 1 Year stamp of stay required, no luck here with DTV. Went back to branch B on Tuesday right after Amphoe with YB in hand, staff checked my docs said we'll send this to Bangkok office first. Took copies, I've signed them all, wrote my phone number and email. Wait 1 week they said. On Friday got call from branch B saying head office has approved my request. Sunday came back and now they've opened regular savings account and said we'll have to send your docs again for the EZ one (yeah sooooo EZ ) Cause the e-mail from head office said i was allowed (as much as I could read in Thai upside down) to open 1 account only and regular one. This time the waiting period could be up to 1 month?? wow. let's see what happens next. They need to replace the printer's cartridge, quality is awful and tilted( First page looks like it was dropped on the road and a couple of scooters have driven over it.

That is just sick

Nice!!! Renewed mine just before the DTV visa run (VE got 2 years) daaaamn) Should've waited a bit. I'm planning to go ask at DLT next week

DMK water fountain, one of them there are many. Even the dispenser with hot/warm/cold water is available.

Yes I'm trying to open EZ account as well. Just got a call from SCB, saying my account was approved. Yaay or is just the beginning? 🥲 They've scanned Passport + DTV + Yellow Book, branch at Central Festival. Last year my request was rejected with same docs but ED visa.

Don't forget copy of your current stamp (extension or VE) along with original visa (if not VE) used to enter the country.

Are you serious?? Have you seen Thai's drive?? yeah right, it is Thais who have never driven car before. Seen this idiotic behavior many times, shift right a bit before turning left like they are driving a moto but not needed with a 4 wheeler. Or driving straight through a crossing with any blinker on. Or turning left with right blinker on. They are gods at driving moto but car skills are seriously lacking.

Forgot to tell about the queue display they had at Phuket Town Police station. Nothing wrong with the photo, now my ticket was 3044, where do i go?) Only my knowledge of Thai language has allowed me to understand that it was my turn as the system also uses the pre recorded voice. That lady at window #4 made 4 errors writing house number in the report, I guess they have their own number system in that office ))

50 Million x 10 Thousand = 500 Billion and not 450B that were allocated, can they count? or was it

Bought rectangle shaped gel pad, and put hexagonal air-pillow on top (chinese import). Kinda works, and can remove at any time. cut it down a little bit on the sides and corners to your liking You can shift the gel pad under this rubber seatpad to the front or back a little bit. I shift to the front to get more level seat area preventing me from sliding forward.
