  1. 1. In days long ago land office would not register land to Thai with foreign spouse due to marriage laws of joint property and the law that foreigners can not own land. 2. Many moons ago a provision was made to allow the Thai to buy land with their own money (foreign spouse signing paperwork to that effect) and a provision made to allow a foreign spouse obtaining land due to death/joint property provision to hold such land for up to one year (must be sold to Thai within that time). 3. So now Thai can buy/register land as long as foreign spouse signs such paperwork. But not sure all land offices are up to date on providing such service.
  2. 3BB is AIS and DTAC is True. Not a lot of competition. Condos may indeed have a set provider and as said final path may not be fiber. But believe for most people service is fine for needs. But something to check upfront before renting if speed is required. Another option is SIM card wifi modem.
  3. I had no issue having US Embassy notarize a short statement of my address for opening a new bank account (after they stopped providing income letters). I did have to say use was for opening a bank account when requesting notarization. They are just validating your signature. But this was a few years ago now so things may have changed. They did not have a form to do this - I just wrote a short statement.
  4. Pattaya/Jomtien have had digital dial for some time now.
  5. As more optometrists become available in the workforce - but I received from government ophthalmologist working part time at a large Bangkok hospital two months ago without issue. Am sure any "eye hospital" doctor would provide (but if they have optometrist on staff may defer testing to them).
  6. Opticians should not be providing prescriptions period. They fit glasses. Optometrists can test and prescribe but are few and far between in Thailand as is a new profession. Ophthalmologists are full doctors and can provide surgery as well as testing. Here in Thailand I would advise going to where you do not want to go - a hospital - where most of these professionals work and can provide prescription without expectation of buying from them. That said some optometrists in private practice will provide such a service for a fee - I used one years ago on basis needed for US Drivers License renewal.
  7. Be sure to do as same thing happened to me yesterday for a Monday application and arriving at CW at 1124 got queue number 315 (processing 105). Got out at 1630 - no issue with normal TM47 and last reporting receipt and passport all that checked. Can think of no reason for rejection as have not even traveled in last decade and all information was copy of previous report using software copy icon.
  8. Well I submitted online 26th for due 7 April (copy data from last report) and received rejection notice at 0916 this morning. No travel anywhere for years. Previous reports accepted online. Next extension in 4 months. Arrived CW at 1124 to get queue number 315 (currently serving 106). Submitted TM47 and last receipt/passport at 1615 and everything fine with no questions asked. Strange. FYI CW immigration building very busy, to include all food, 7 11 and such on floor below. They also have blocked part of Soi 7 normal access road so have to snake around West side to get to entrance.
  9. But that is your experience - and I am sure many users of placebo drugs have the same feelings. Does not mean you are wrong but does not mean a published article reporting on controlled tests is wrong either. And no I have not tried CBD but had hope that a new option for pain was going to become available as go down the cancer trail.
  10. Sorry took the protection as meaning defender - my mistake - would go with others with suggestion to obtain valid activation number as not much cost. Also not sure if you are/have got updates with system not activated.
  11. My reading is you disabled anti virus protection and did not replace with something else so getting a notice to activate. Just letting you know something is wrong (as most people want protection). Am sure what you noticed with task manager was due nothing else needed processing - I would reactivate myself as it is kind of important to have protection - especially with older software version. And Windows actually does a good job at protection.
  12. There is no evidence that CBD products reduce chronic pain, and taking them is a waste of money and potentially harmful to health, according to recent research led by the University of Bath in the UK. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-03-cbd-products-dont-ease-pain.html
  13. But foreign ownership normally requires purchase price to have been transferred into Thailand by the owner and proven by official records. I am still not convinced that a will of land ownership to an unrelated foreigner would even be approved for one year to sell (which is the marriage joint property inheritance provision).
  14. Actually here in Thailand they are called Medical Certificate and I obtain on every doctor visit for insurance coverage (as bills do not indicate reason for visit but these do). Nothing to do with avoiding work (but they do have place for doctor to indicate such). But OP is about the changing world - and indeed sick days/entitlement seems to be one of many factors that may come back to bite sooner than we think. But then again we could believe the world is sick so all these sick days are valid for everyone. Respect seems to have lost the self for all too many of us.
  15. 2in1 HEPA+Carbon sheet 429 baht - Note I have front of Sharp unit face wall as that provides better clean airflow to room IMHO. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/sharp-air-filter-model-fp-j30ta-fp-f30ta-fp-gm30b-b-fp-jm30b-b-kc-f30ta-w-fu-a28ta-sharp-air-filter-fz-f30hfe-fz-y28fta-fz-f30dfe-i1594486541-s19777206290.html?
  16. You failed to say that. Not sure it would be accepted per rules about property ownership so make sure it is legal - if it is will likely be the one year to sell provision.
  17. No such issue and mine runs 24 hours a day - replace at six months - use the more expensive filter with charcoal odor type rather than just HEPA that it came with.
  18. Normally it is cost effective to SWIFT transfer USD from your US bank to Thai bank for such amounts (as Wise fee increases with the amount sent). Just make sure your US bank does not do the converting to Thai baht.
  19. Are you having issues caused by these cataracts? Suspect may be reason they were found but if not there is normally no need to remove. 1. Pain is in wallet. Actual procedure only takes a few minutes and at most should not be much more than hair in eye feeling. 2. Safest is single vision to correct distance vision - reading glasses are cheap and easy to obtain. 3. Yes. 4. Immediate - you will be using eye next day. But best to do eyes a few weeks apart in case of issues. 5. Nothing - but you will need sunglasses for some time as everything will be much brighter and colors very bright. 6. Most common surgery with excellent success rate. Nothing to fear. But as said make sure you need to remove now (even if this requires another exam elsewhere). Will also provide more cost information.
  20. Suspect they are just mass dialing all numbers by computer - which is why most never connect to actual scammer (busy with someone else). But likely have a record of answered call so have you number for next time.
  21. Was never offered any such option for USD to Thai on web site - although some forms of payment might take longer and/or cost more/less.
  22. Did she dial international access number (0011) - 66 - your 9 digit number? As said +697 is scam calls prefix so likely just happened when you were actually expecting a call.
