I suggest play your music as usual and then leave you apartment and close the front door. And then listen how much you still hear from that music.

Personally, I think if you hear a little that some music is playing, then it's not too loud.

If you still hear the music in the hallway, even if you are 10m away from your door, then probably it is too loud.

 

80% max volume is meaningless. 

I am sure 25% of my (1000W) speakers is more than enough to entertain the floor.

 

Well I have very good door and they are isolating the music quite well, but the neighbour is from the next room and he is complaining that he hears it through the wall.

I have just regular Samsung soundbar with 360W. But my question is can I have some problems if I listen the music too loud during the day?

Does anyone know what are the regulations in Thailand regarding noise?

I also have problem with my neighbour who is complaining that my music is 'too loud'. I am never listening the music during the night time and I never have any kind of parties. I just like to listen music on my soundbar. And I never put it too loud in my opinion - 80% max volume.

Can I have some problems? I am really annoyed by him telling me I cannot use my property as I would like.

As I have just done this for our house in my wife's name, we just needed ID card and blue book (tabien bahn). So I imagine it would be the same for you.

Well, when I was registering myself at immigration they asked for a copy of Chanote as well. It would be nice if Chanote is not needed, but I am a bit sceptical.

Your wife is probably listed in the blue book but I am not there since only Thai people could be in the blue book.

If someone has actual experience what documents were needed for a registration of a foreigner and in which step, please let me know. 

If I want to register myself as a foreigner who owns a condo in Thailand, what kind of documents are needed except my passport? I don't have yellow book since I understand it is very difficult to get. I have blue book for my condo and Chanote (title deed).

Can someone tell me if these documents are enough and if I need to upload them during registration or during filling of TM30 report? Thanks.

Because the new driving licenses have a minimal validity of 5 years and is always valid until your birthday, I let them expire 1 week.

I didn't quite understand this part. Is it a difference if I renew the license before expiration date and after? My temporary driving license is expiring on 7th March, should I let it expire and renew after?

I reckon you're wasting good ink. 

 

Go in there personally and talk with them. 

 

They replied already and explained everything if you check my previous post. The shop is located one hour from my location, I will definitely not go there just to ask a question. Also people here confirmed the same.

Well they do but it is hard to get. I had contacted about 6 different shops till I found one which had 125 available. One shop said they can order 125 but I would have to wait about 3 months. Hard to believe that.

Yes I got the electronic key - just one. So apparently everything is correct. To be honest I would rather receive 2 normal keys. It seems like progress is going backwards. And I have asked how much it is to get a new key - they said 1000 baht.

The shop just replied that if it is remote control system (wireless key) the customer will receive just one key. If it is normal key the customer will receive two keys. Can someone please confirm this? Is it true?

Ok thanks for confirmation. I am writing to the shop already. Will see how they will respond.

Hello,

I just bought a new Honda Click 125 and I have received just one key. I think I should have received two keys for the motorbike but I didn't realize this in the shop so I haven't asked them.

Anyone can please confirm if new Honda Click 125 should come with 2 keys or just 1 key?

Thank you.

Location? 

Chonburi near Pattaya

Anyone knows what is the website for the E-learning? Is usually appointment needed at DLT or if I show up with all the documents they can renew the license right away?

Does not ask for it, only after review have they asked

Yes because it is common requirement. Many embassies list it on their website. Nothing unusual.

It is normal that they require flight out of Thailand during visa application process. I always had to provide it. As far as I know it doesn't have to be return flight, it can be any onward flight out of Thailand. 

When one has a visa then the flight is not required by the airlines. But it is normally required for a tourist visa by the embassy. 

My first 90-day report ever is closing in and my plan was to do it online. But I was reading that first 90-day report must be done at immigration. Can someone please confirm if this is still the case?

I have fixed term deposit with Bangkok Bank and bankbook that I use for yearly extension. So it's certainly possible.

Probably the usual Thai, "I don't know so better say no can do"...

Well, I didn't ask at the branch. But it is stated on their website:

"The 7-Month, 10-Month and 14-Month Fixed Deposit Account are available for Thai individuals, corporates, government agencies.."

Only Thai individuals or companies.

Yes.

I use FD account with Kasikorn for my extension financial requirements 

Ok I will check Kasikorn bank then. I don't need the money for extension requirements, I would just like to open fixed term deposit and I believe it is not possible with Bangkok Bank. 

Is it possible to open fixed term deposit as a foreigner? I was checking Bangkok bank and they said only for Thai nationals I think. Is it different with other banks?

What is so bad about sweeteners? But being a non drinker, I have never had a weight problem in my life, but I drink 2 or 3 glasses of juice with sweeteners a day and cannot tell the difference between a drink of juice with or without sweeteners.

My problem is not with the taste, but many sweeteners turned out to be really unhealthy, more than sugar. Some of them are even potentially carcinogenic. You can find the latest studies online.

I didn't want to spam a particular brand as I have no commercial interest in this.

 

After I wrote that reply, I ended up buying some pure Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) from Lazada myself as my regular supplier closed up shop during Covid. I paid 625 baht per 907 grams of Whey protein concentrate. The source is ALS Labs in the USA. The Lazada resellers buy it in the 25kg sack.

..

Thanks a lot, this post was very useful. However, I am having some issues finding the WPC you mentioned on Lazada. I have sent you a DM. If you will have time please check it.

I have found another ones, Vitaxtrong Real Whey Protein and Vitaxtrong Iso-Pro. Also the brand is questionable but I will probably go for one of these.

I have just found BAAM!! My Whey Protein which has unflavored option and it is for good price as well. Just not sure about the brand.

I can't say re locally available brands but I get unsweetened California Gold Nutrition brand on iherb. Delivery is pretty fast (under 2 weeks) and costs a bit less than locally. 

I see. I would prefer to order from some local shop, but out of curiosity - is it OK to import the proteins from abroad and do you need to declare anything or do some paperwork for customs? Any taxes due? How does it work?

You will have to get unflavored.  Any product that is flavored will contain some type of sweetener.  

I know that, but the point of my question was to get a recommendation for a specific product as I cannot find any unflavored whey protein available in Thailand. Now I have at least one tip for Matel Whey from oxo1947.
