  1. Indeed you are likely right and that is always an issue - and even more so under current economic conditions - burn is the cheap solution so without law enforcement or incentives even those knowing better are unlikely to be able to limit and everyone suffers. And as the recent typhoon in PI attests it is likely a worldwide issue.
  2. Perhaps more homeless these days trying to keep warm at night?
  3. About 2 or 3 weeks after due date so about 5 weeks total. So receiving later than previously but at least do not lose a week or two as was the case in the past when they processed early. So appears there long wait for mailing - or they actually did not process on date indicated but as received prior to due date print that date on receipt.
  4. My most recent report, last month, was indeed processed on due date for the first time. Previous mailed reports were processed well before due date so a week or two lost between reports.
  5. What I, and others have said, - you can be forced into approved isolation - and you have to pay for that. What type/cost/where varies faster than moon phases but it is something to be aware of.
  6. One reason may be that they seem to process on date due rather than date received?
  7. You might use Google Maps Khon Kaen and search Hi Fi.
  8. Thai insurance? There are indeed problems. They have not been paying in a timely manner from press reports.
  9. Another factor to consider is you do not have to test positive to be required to quarantine - being near anyone positive can trigger that - so you may want to look closely at hotel refund requirements as do not believe any insurance payments for that kind of a change. Those that promote travel should be taking pains to shed light on such issues - but that does not seem to be the case. But the old axiom of too many cooks comes to mind.
  10. I have seen reports of receiving up to six weeks after due date (and mine was about four) so would wait until after the New Year. Believe all 90 day still done at MTT but there were reports they would be moving back.
  11. Believe they removed that option now that Chinese owned. But even when available, as in Shopee, they get you with "pre-order" which in effect means overseas but is displayed as domestic.
  12. Did you get hungry and eat their cookies by chance? For me it is the slide to right because of suspicious activity if I check more than one page.
  13. That is what Play Store download says but Bangkok Bank web site says version 7 or above and indicates it is a new version. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbl.mobilebanking
  14. Believe Bangkok Bank app states that only can be used on Android 7 or above.
  15. But they do allow direct debit from Bangkok Bank accounts which works fine - and refunds are directly returned to said accounts.
  16. If you use browser translate to English on first page display it is much better and seems to hold it quite well. I use Chrome but believe other browsers also have translate options. Have used that method since before Shopee even had an English option.
  17. Yes indeed - often happens to me also - no rhyme or reason that I can find. But another reason to use Google to search when you have specific items of interest.
  18. On Cebu the filling stations that remain open have long lines and limit sales to P100 for motorcycle and P300 for cars from reports today on YouTube. Extreme shortage as roads start to open for travel and people need to do so to find water and food. Electric totally out from reports and may be weeks to restore and generator fuel needed for those that have. Have not seen any reports from Bihol but expect they are in same shape.
  19. Is that a local credit card? Have not had any issues using my US Chase Visa card - but have my Thai address as residence with Chase.
  20. Shopee has the same multi named sellers in my experience.
  21. Will depend on office, and even when allowed may require update on passbook - in Bangkok believe same day is standard.
  22. Actually they change names from "abdc23nb" to "badc32bn". Find both systems full of same overpriced products from sellers that have never made a sale - just hoping for a fish to bite. Some help if you find a specific name/model and then search just that and sort low price to high. Also check how many sales seller has made as often they are selling at a fair price and that is why they have many sales.
  23. To avoid any gray zone issues I would return to 400k in account method. If not time believe you can extend 60 days to visit wife without financials and then make the new one year extension of stay.
  24. You should have your bank book and copies. You also require bank letter of account balance/ownership (not the same as transactions). This letter often has to be same say as application or close (Bangkok same day).
