Have you by any chance failed to do the TM30 thing after staying in a hotel somewhere or returning to TH after being abroad? Just wondered, cos recently a pal of mine got rejected online, for what I think was most likely that reason, though the specific reason for his rejection online was not made clear by immigration.........who apparently don't think giving a reason the most obviously sensible thing to do. Of course, if you're always on top of the TM30 thing, ignore my comment. 👍

Ok, thanks for that advice. I'll definitely check out that link. 👍🏻 If there is hassle paying via AIS, apparently you can pay a yearly 1590 baht, which I could possibly pay just once a year via use of a relative's credit card.....assuming they're cool with that. 😉

Thanks for responding. No I didn't use the link you kindly sent, but just got there via youtube and clicking on the Premium option and following a few simple steps. As I recall, the payment methods included a range of options but only one that I figured would be suitable and that was AIS as I have a package.....forgetting that the package essentially is one belonging to my wife and not in my name, thus possibly presenting difficulties later at end of 1 month trial. I was required to indicate my preferred payment method in order to be confirmed as taking part in a one month free trial. No other specific AIS payment details were asked for at this stage.

Yes, I think it may be an issue. I'll ask at AIS when my wife (whom my AIS package is named under) is available. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for replying. I certainly feel the same way about financial services done on one's phone, though my wife is keen on it!

Old Croc (or anyone reading this), I went for the Premium 1 month trial yesterday. When I initially completed the basic info requirements, they asked about payment options. As I don't have a credit card I went for the AIS option as my phone package is through AIS. They didn't request more specific details about that AIS option and accepted the application for the trial etc. All good. Love the ad free premium so far. Problem is.....the youtube subscription is in my name, but the AIS package is in my Thai wife's name. When it comes to starting the payments at the end of the 1 month trial, how will the payments be facilitated through AIS, especially because of the 2 names involved causing confusion? (By the way, I would actually like to pay the yearly fee.) I'm a cash over the counter guy. I'm just not familiar (ok....dumb as a rock, I know!) with these more up to date, alternative online payment systems. Any advice? 🤔🙂

Yes, that's what I've been increasingly thinking. 👍🏻😉

No commercials is good. In fact, it couldn't be better. 👍🏻👍🏻😉

Thanks Old Croc! Good to know I can use it on different devices. 👍🏻 Yes, I might go for the yearly too. Cheers. 🙏

Very informative, NextG. 👍🏻 Thanks a lot! 🙏

Actually I meant with Premium, on different devices not ublock. I should have been clearer about that, sorry.

Interesting option. Will look into that. 👍🏻

Yes, sounds good. I wish I'd looked into this much sooner. 👍🏻

Thanks, expat! 🙏

May I ask....how many different devices can you use it on? I have 2 android phones (one is without sim card) and two tv's (one's in another location. 🤔

So ublock's free? That's good to know. 👍🏻 Thanks.

Well, I guess if you don't see 'em, I shouldn't either.....hopefully. 😉🙏

Is it free? 🤔

Thanks, Lite Beer. 👍🏻

Will check it out. Thank you. 🙏

Oh, by the way, is it a genuine NO-commercial thing? Or...will I still sometimes hear that 'shopee' horror, but just less often? I ask, because I would prefer NO commercials like that ever again! 🙂

Right. Low cost and my phone package is with AIS. I'll be down there tomorrow. Thank you. 👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏

Help needed. I seek information & advice regarding using 'You-tube Premium. If I have ro listen to 5 seconds of the 'Shopee!' commercial one more time, I may lose control over my actions, resulting in calamitous tragedy.....potentially. 😉 So I beg those who know: How much is it? And is it worth it? And....importantly.......if it's reasonably priced (let's say, under 400 baht per month) and worth it, how do I sign up to it, without a credit card or any kind of online payment set-up?

Glad to see some are paying attention. 👍🏻 I assume you're using the word 'odd' as a synonym for other, less euphemistic but more accurate expressions like 'totally corrupt....rigged.....unjust.....etc.. (If so, I don't blame you.) 😎

I 'joined' in 2018....so still see myself as kind of a new guy on the block, so to speak. But I had already been in TH many years proir to that and had been led to believe (by work colleagues) that what I knew for decades as 'Thai Visa'.....was a forum only for bigoted, rather 'lower-deck' types of falangs who posted vulgar comments between swigs of beer and so on. But wow! How WRONG I was and had been, all along! I became a member because I sought info' about my visa situation and luckily for me, I was priviliged to be a beneficiary of good old Ubonjoe. But subsequently I looked into what was being discussed on TV/AN......and realised I had been a hell of a falang 'snob' about the site. Since I joined I have posted queries & received immense help, info & goodwill from members when I asked for it. From people whose collective knowledge & brilliance is amazing. OneMoreFarang, I can understand your point and why you are making your views clear at this time and seeking the opinion of other members. I get it. But my simple view is that it's nothing more than a kind of cyclical thing. You'll inevitably get periods of more trivial postings being made, but then that passes and those 'trivia-posters' will fade away a bit until the next time. Final thing....I don't want to sound like a totally annoying idiot, but I reckon in times of serious world crisis and weirdness....like now (FGS!😉).....I think it might be very natural for people to want to express their feelings (unconsciously) by getting into the absurd or trivial aspects of life. But your query is a good one to think about....and maybe itself is a sign that AN can raise the bar at times. 👍🙂
