  1. Anyone know what happens when my passport expires with the DTV eVisa? Not talking about a sticker in the passport but the separate eVisa PDF I print out. It has my passport ID# on it and I will need to get a new one next year. I can certainly bring my old one with me, but will I be able to go into immigration and get my existing eVisa updated with the new passport ID# so that I don't have to do that for the next 4 years?
  2. Pretty sure there are some troll/bot/sockpuppet networks running on this site. Like Spamouflag. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/china-linked-spamouflage-network-mimics-americans-online-sway-113342948 They are obviously most interested in the major social media platforms but I suspect they use secondary sites as a kind of testing ground to see what sticks. It is also possible there are accounts around here specifically for the purpose of increasing engagement. Connect the dots on that. Or maybe this site just has a lot of really dumb people making a lot of really dumb comments. However, there are a lot of accounts posting very obvious misinformation. People are entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts. The conspiratorial side of me wonders why those accounts don't get banned.
  3. Pattaya Klang is definitely downhill and it still floods. It basically becomes a river. Even though the water is moving fairly fast there is still way too much of it.
  4. It drains much faster now but they can't make the pipes big enough to completely handle a monsoon downpour. They need to turn some streets into dual use streets/spillways, like they have done in Hua Hin.
  5. And if you applied in the digital nomad category they will have a record of that, questioning you every time you try enter as a tourist. Most likely forcing a lot of people to get that expensive digital nomad visa.
  6. Respect these people? Seriously? No thanks.
  7. Just use google maps in navigation mode.
  8. I can take money out of the ATM and pay for my meal with my smartphone. I think Bangkok Bank charges extra for an ATM card so a lot of people probably choose to just go without that now. During covid, I think you needed to use an app to get into malls at one point. I think there will be more and more of that sort of thing so it will become necessary to have a smartphone even just for daily life.
  9. This is very true. When I go into the doctors office my BP is fairly high even though I do not feel any anxiety or stress whatsoever. When I get it done at those public BP testers its completely normal. I thought maybe they weren't giving an accurate reading but I have tried many different ones and have been told by doctors that they are usually pretty accurate.
  10. I wouldn't bother arguing facts with weirdos when they refuse to accept them, no matter how obvious, and choose to try defend the convicted felon scumbag wannabe dictator instead. Your time is better spent just ignoring them or pointing and laughing.
  11. You have to be a real scumbag to start trouble at Arlington Cemetery.
  12. Ok so why can't I post images anymore?
  13. Came here to find an answer and nobody has given it yet. When I asked this somewhere else, and assuming an eVisa so not a sticker in a passport, someone using another type of visa said they were able to go into immigration and get the passport # changed on their Visa. So I am assuming this is how it will work with the DTV eVisa.
  14. I was only planning to stay 2 months, leaving for awhile, then coming back, which I could do without any visa. I am getting the DTV anyways because it removes all the worry about travel dates and not having to go to Jomtien immigration to extend if it came to that. Also, no worries (in theory) about them questioning me about re-entering too much on a visa waiver, which they seem to be doing more often now.
  15. This is what I have been using for my business and personal email for many years now. For Office replacement I use LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Google Sheets.

  17. A bigly genius. Everyone says so. All the best people. Ask anyone.
  18. Thailand has some stuff called flying rabbit that seems to work pretty good. Found in pretty much all pharmacies everywhere in Thailand. Not sure if that is it's official name but that is what everyone calls it because of the logo.
  19. Took me about 10 seconds. Everything this troll says is factually untrue. Literally everything. Same with that susanlea account. Probably the same person behind several of these accounts.
  20. Profile > Ignored Users > maesariang Ideally, the people who run this site would ban these idiots who contribute absolutely nothing and just make up their own facts, but they don't seem interested in doing that. So the only thing we can do is waste a bunch of time banning them ourselves. The problem is that there are so many it's become a full time job. A lot of these accounts are probably the same person. I think there are also some troll/click farms operating around here.
  21. The convicted felon has an impressive lack of self-awareness.
