Only works in conjunction with the GT200 (not included).

I experienced this exact issue with my phone after just over two years' use.

Having made cannabis legal has perhaps lessened the need for the money-laundering services of casinos. Whether casino gambling comes to Thailand near term will probably depend upon whose support is needed to form the next government after elections next year.

Couldn't rule on the oath of office omission. Came up with this verdict. Must be part of the sufficiency economy.

You will probably find better coverage and higher limits available from non-Thai insurers. You would also have better consumer-protection laws and a better insurance regulatory environment in Australia compared to Thailand. Many of the inbound Thai travel policies were tailored to meet the now-defunct Thailand Pass requirement for entry. The limits for medical expenses provided by these policies may not be sufficient to address a major accident or health event and some don't provide medical repatriation expenses and other typical travel policy coverages. My suggestion would be to find a good insurance broker in Australia and discuss your specific requirements. A broker can also explain coverage differences and claims-paying attitudes of insurers. Good luck.

It used to be fairly common for law firms to provide nominees for foreign investors in order to stay on the good side of ownership restrictions. Few will do so nowadays as technically it is not legal. There are ways to protect yourself from the majority shareholders doing anything against your interests, although I'm not sure they are ironclad. A number of law firms here are managed by foreigners or have foreigners in their employ. Have one of them take a look at what your lawyer has done and see if you need to do anything else to protect your interests.

I suspected it would be something like this, but this explanation wasn't in the article.

Yes. If this is the issue, it may take a keen eye and quick recognition of both Thai and Arabic numerals to spot the "erroneous" notes!

My guess is that the horizontal serial numbers using Thai numerals somehow did not match the vertical serial numbers using Arabic numerals.

Why couldn't the story tell exactly what the "error" is.

American multinationals would have pulled their expatriate staff long ago and I can't imagine that many American tourists or visitors are there. Most of the remaining Americans are likely those with strong family ties and dual nationals and I think that's whom this message targets.

I think Pink IDs issued to those aged 60 and over are issued for life. Mine was. The first digit of the ID number will be a "6" for those with non-immigrant status. It will be an "8" for those with immigrant status (permanent residents). Naturalized Thais will also have "8" as the first digit on their blue ID card.

I think each injection was about 25,000 baht. Other hospitals also offer these injections and may be a bit cheaper. One injection is sufficient to gain relief, but the lubricant gradually wears out or is assimilated by the body and the effect diminishes, usually after about six months. I was fortunate and continue to have better function and less pain than I had before the first injection, although I did have two injections about 18 months apart. Good luck.

I've had a couple of HA injections at Bumrungrad, with the last one about five years ago. My knee remains much less painful and with better range of movement than before the first injection. My kneecap also no longer "catches" as it did before. I would say that in my case, at least some of the beneficial effects have been fairly long-lasting. I also take one sachet of Viartril-S every day in.a glass of water. I think Viartril-S is one of the few branded supplements that has actually undergone clinical trials that showed a positive effect on osteoarthritis. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/213562

Prudential is a life insurance company, so the coverage is life insurance on you, not property insurance on your home. I think it is common for banks to require this, but I do not have personal experience. Banks may also require property insurance on the home, but it is often limited to fire and related perils only, making it fairly inexpensive. UOB and Prudential most certainly have an agreement to work together and have agreed policy wording for the claims payment clause which would pay the bank first for the amount of any outstanding loan. There will also be communication protocols between UOB and Prudential in the event of non-payment of premium. The bank won't want to have to negotiate these items with another insurer on a one-off basis. The premium levels for the life policy are influenced by your age during the tenor of the loan making direct comparison with others more difficult. Good luck.

Have had good experience with Asia Cab, the one with the London-style taxis: https://www.asiacab.co.th Call them in advance and they will come to your residence or office at the appointed time. Clean cars and polite, well-dressed drivers. Certainly worth the modest additional cost compared with regular taxis.

Just received this from Citibank: At present, Citigroup Inc. and United Overseas Bank (Thai) PCL have officially obtained the approval of the Bank of Thailand and other relevant authorities for transfer of Citi's consumer business in Thailand. Citi hereby informs you that such business transfer will effect on 1 November 2022 or such other date as notified to you. All banking products and services provided to you by Citi will be transferred to UOB and Citi will continue to be the service provider for such products and services on behalf of UOB. Citi would like to express our gratitude to our customers for the trust. I wonder how it will work with Citi providing services on behalf of UOB and for how long that will last.

I would suggest you contact an insurance broker and discuss your specific needs. A good broker can provide competing quotes and explain coverage differences and also discuss intangibles such as an insurer's ability and willingness to pay claims, something that quote aggregator websites usually don't do. Any medical condition that exists at, or has existed prior to, the formation of an insurance contract can be considered a pre-existing condition and likely needs to be disclosed to the insurer on the application form. If the condition is really not relevant to the insurer, you won't be penalized for disclosing it. If it is relevant, and you don't disclose it, the policy could be voided. Thailand does not have a statute limiting an insurer's ability to consider pre-existing conditions or exclude them from coverage. In addition to Thailand-based insurers, you might want to expand your search to offshore insurers. They may offer broader coverage and operate in jurisdictions with better consumer protection laws. You might need to find an offshore broker to help you with this since Thai insurance brokers technically aren't supposed to offer offshore insurance products to their clients.

Drain fly larvae. Drain flies can be quite difficult to eradicate. The eggs are quite hardy and can survive attempts to kill them. The larvae are more vulnerable, so repeated treatment is often necessary to get each generation of larvae until they have not had a chance to go through the full lifecycle.

Those are most likely drain flies. They lay their eggs in the muck in the drains and the larvae develop there until the adult stage when they emerge from the drains and fly around. There are a number of remedies, including pouring boiling water down the drains every day. Others include vinegar and baking soda mixtures. See what you can find with Google.

I received PR probably close to the same year you did and heard similar when I asked the officer if the quota for Americans would be reached.

Yes, this is the crux of the problem. I know for a fact that the foreign chambers of commerce have brought up the shortcomings of PR (need WP, need re-entry, re-entry only good for 12 months, etc.) to the Thai government a number of times along with suggestions for streamlining other issues involving immigration. Despite platitudes and promises to look into it, nothing happens.

Some people prefer not to subsidize religion by being forced to contribute to the cost of ritual slaughter and certification by religious authorities when they buy food items in the grocery stores. Not that people aren't entitled to worship as they choose, just don't force everyone else to support this. It is sometimes impossible to find certain products in the grocery stores that don't have halal certification.

An exclamation mark would then be a baseball bat and the recipient would think the sender wants to beat the sh!t out of them.
