  1. Your previous screen grab only showed 3 bank icons - so maybe it restored but they did not bother to update the icon list. Will give it a try on my next purchase if I can turn off the automatic CC payment option. The world - it is passing me bye, bye. ????
  2. Do you see Bangkok Bank bank transfer option? They ended it years ago. Thanks - I should have been specific on it being Bangkok Bank but totally forgot after all the years (old age does that). ????
  3. That was an advantage for me - Lazada stopped iBanking transfer payments but Shopee still allows so takes me to Bangkok Bank log in and I pay and go back to Shopee in same window. Canceled refunds are direct deposit to same bank account (believe has to be set up first time however).
  4. Are you using Chrome? Believe that is best bet - indeed there are issues at times for many of us. Another thing to check is cookies (delete all for Lazada may help). I almost never use Lazada anymore as find Shopee works and has what I want but just signed onto Lazada with no issues.
  5. Happy (or not) that someone else has been getting that SMS - even going to site and trying to take the survey (asks if you employed by Lotus or not and that is it). No other questions - but you still keep getting the SMS to a new site each day. ????
  6. Great if you don't what your deliveries to be made. Almost all call at least once - and then again for directions in my experience here in Bangkok (at what should be an easy location to find).
  7. Believe you mean US Consulate in CM. Embassies are in Bangkok. Perhaps your wife talked with a Thai staff member rather than a Consular Officer and they were not aware Consular services had just been suspended over the weekend.
  8. Even when not a con most people would avoid return to police in this area of the world - recall in Angeles City PI had bar girls give me a military wallet they found on side of road for return - no way could they give to police as they were sure to be charged/or made to pay (easy money for officials). No money in wallet but it did contain his ID card. Very unfortunate that no good deed goes unpunished is the mantra.
  9. Unsure what you have as in country visa is only single entry for 90 days and costs 2,000 baht - did you do an additional one year extension of stay for 1,900 baht? And obtained a multi re-entry permit for 3,800 baht? If that is your status you can come and go at will and as long as you do not stay longer than 90 days on any entry no 90 day reports will be required.
  10. But then again it may just be part of the general shortage of workers - expect pay is better frying burgers in USA now than entry level government work - and burger joints can not get workers at 20-30 dollars an hour. Police are begging for people. But with borders almost closed workforce is limited and after long unemployment too many have adapted that as a lifestyle I suspect. The world is in flux and there is a shortage of just about everything (except maybe hot air).
  11. If you have a multi re-entry stamp you would normally have an extension of stay - that stamp just allows you to exit/return during that time period. If you stay longer than 90 days you have to make a 90 day report. You would not have a multi entry visa stamp from immigration. But if actually a multi entry visa from a Consulate then you have to exit at or before the permitted to stay stamp.
  12. And in my experience such slight slope runs will collect dirt over time and become blacked - been there. But perhaps if cleaner forces water through each time it will clear. Could not make sense of photo however - appears pipe from an outside area at rear to an outside area on left. Are you cooling the world? ????
  13. That says it all - heart surgery is a highly specialized and complex operation that requires a trained team and proper facilities. OP friend is not Thai (free care available)?
  14. There are many on Lazada and Shopee but need to make decisions on what is actually priority. Manual would be about half of electric charge so if patient is not up to control themselves might be a lower cost option. Does bed have to move up and down (full bed - not head/legs) for nurse care? Can patient leave bed for bathroom or hair wash? The sit up as chair seem to be good option for 100% bedridden and a lot of choice. Price wise under 10k for either type manual without bed height or under 20k electric. With bed height another 10 to 20k for most. As said if not for long term/cost major factor have someone check with hospitals as they might have an older unit they could rent. And spread word of mouth - amazing what can be found that way. Suspect social media could also work (extend that word of mouth).
  15. Believe just to remember the excess water so drain has to exit house and down. If on internal wall there will likely be clogged drain issues at some point or a very unattractive drain slope on wall.
  16. Just be prepared as that additional cost will be considerable and you have to make decision on type of stent (drug types are even more expensive) on exam bed so might want to read up on types of stents before procedure. Here in Thailand often done via wrist so not really unpleasant.
  17. Are you sure info from Embassy is correct? Embassy is supposed to issue the document of being single. As Thailand is not a signatory for international Notarization normally only your Embassy can perform that function. Perhaps you get the notarization from Embassy and they send to India for confirmation and then return to you?
  18. Actually government hospitals are close to private hospital cost for CT scans due to the high cost of equipment and the few paying for the service in my experience.
  19. Not legal by law but sometimes done for small amounts (often from India). If customs opens no option for delivery. Most drugs are quite low priced at government hospitals so would be very cautious if same cheaper elsewhere (although understand some India copies not available here so are a lot cheaper than brand names).
  20. And really not due to being lazy - it is what we have lived for the past two years (and forever if some have their way). I have not shopped in a supermarket since early 2020, when a supermarket decided to remove all shopping carts due to them being covid evil and we seniors had to carry plastic baskets and provide our own shopping bags. After that is was Tesco/Tops delivery and see no reason to return to push and shove and checkout lines when it is cheaper to pay a delivery charge than hire a taxi.
  21. Many people are doing work and study from home during covid (and would prefer to have contact with one rather than a dozen people) and have no free time during the workday for shopping?
  22. Robert “Bobby” Crimo aka Awake the Rapper seems to have been posting very disturbed materials on internet for the last 10 years, and actually making money from it. Already removed from newspaper reports.
