90 day online reporting time frame
Dirk Z replied to Kenny202's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I did on-line three times successfully but the last two times by mail. Now each time I have the paper version ready, try on-line and if that doesn't work just mail the paperwork. Both times reply after six weeks. -
There is an even spread among the different brands. This is what you can expect, because there is no "best" beer under the pilseners.There have been blind tests with beer lovers in which they were not able to determine their favourite beer nor their most disliked beer. The choices were no better than what you can expect by chance. So you just believe what you drink. I love craft beers and IPA, but just one.

Poll -- do you take a daily dose of low dose aspirin?
Dirk Z replied to Jingthing's topic in Health and Medicine
A colleague of mine took it for no other reason than to be on the safe side and had a cerebral hemorrhage. Don't take it unless prescribed says me (MD). -
Just got my second Jab today and the Mor Prom App doesn't work
Dirk Z replied to Jaws1973's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Yes, that one. It looks exactly the same as in the app. -

I just scanned the QR code on the certificate i got from the hospital. This produces an approval which is the same as from the app. Make a screen shot and crop it a bit. -
What is it with loud exhausts ? (and tail tidy's)
Dirk Z replied to piston broke's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Yes, and in UK too, but other countries also have the name and in my case it is derived from Dirk, a hundreds year old name that also has been in the family for some generations. Polite people (with sufficient IQ) tend to call me Richard sometimes.... -
What is it with loud exhausts ? (and tail tidy's)
Dirk Z replied to piston broke's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
It is the name my parents chose for me and that has been mine for decades. In spite of the unfortunate synonym it is a perfectly normal first name in the country where I am from and in many others. It should be clear (but here the IQ comes in again) that it is an original first name and not a fantasy nickname. So not chosen but given. It is beyond me to choose a fantasy name just because of disrepectful morons. -

And mocking someone's name in a pathetic attempt to be funny is inversely related to IQ. -

There is an inverse relationship between the dB's of noise and the size of an essential part of the (male) driver's anatomy. -
But I'm not sure if a tourist on a tourist visa can get a residence certificate. I got mine only after the personal 90-days reporting.

Life in Thailand getting back to normal – but only if you are vaccinated
Dirk Z replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Being pro-vaccination is not a belief but based on a plethora of facts and evidence. If non-vaxers would be 1-2% nobody would spill a word, but the numbers like 20-30% are a serious threat in terms of them needing hospital beds. As they die away the threat becomes less, but until then they cause costs and are a considerable burden. You cannot really compare this with other diseases like from smoking etc, because the numbers - although still too many - are manageable, unlike a Covid outbreak. But over time according to Darwinian principles the problem will solve itself. -
My experience is that what they actually wanted is proof of some address other than a hotel or guest house. I live in a condo that is in my wife's name. So we drew up a rental contract stating that I rent space there for unlimited time. And that provided for the tick in the box. Apart from that the visa needs to be OK, I don't know if a tourist visa will do, since I have a retirement visa. But some proof of address may help.

Have you planned to take care of your Spouse after you pass?
Dirk Z replied to Dan747's topic in Family and Children
I married and almost all my savings are in het name in accounts that I can use as my own as long as I'm alive (saves a lot of tax back home). We have three condos that are also in her name. -

Thai authorities crackdown on scam texts
Dirk Z replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
I also get many, but I disabled something in their app and that did help to reduce the garbage a bit. -
