  1. Have not read all thread but had bank deposit letter held up for several weeks using EMS in the past - such mail must have postmasters signature at destination PO Box and if he is not present will not be delivered. I know normal mail has not been much of an option during covid but perhaps now available again. But using a US service to send regular mail such as above Www.letterstream.com seems to be the best bet.
  2. You didn't notice the couple of days it got down into the freezing 20's (C) last month? In US they seem to be freezing this year - here we are at normal roast. And even the humidity has stayed up most days.
  3. It was a requirement to use a MFA certified translation agency some 25 years ago so do not believe anything new. And normally such services will do the MFA registration as part of their service. As once accepted this become an official legal document it is vital that it is correct.
  4. Have you checked that TV is set to receive the HDMI channel? It might have switched to something else during a power failure.
  5. In most areas HomePro is the primary retail outlet for household items. Few people have so unlikely to be on display at normal gas supply stores. This seems to be the only unit in low price range on Lazada (and no indication seller has sold anything - although finding anything there is hit or miss). It may be best to buy the low price and plan to replace often as these units seem to be very thin steel that rusts quickly (from many years of experience). We have given up and now use gas burners but electric counter top ovens (which are much easier to use). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/gestreo-4-gs-k50-q01w-4-burner-gas-stove-with-oven-i3821239380-s14561415086.htmlnull__null__0
  6. Some do indeed look like a Microwave but not that sure those that even have autoclave use them for more than storage. And the amount of dust flying in some Soi clinics looks more like snow. Look very closely for clean environment as even a great dentist is a negative if procedure not done in a reasonably sterol setting. For me it is worth an extra cost.
  7. Thanks - was not aware they had a laser glossy option. Seems like when first came out everyone mentioned the color was rather newspaper looking. In that case seems laser would be the way to go.
  8. If using Inkjet have never had issues with Cannon using 810/811 carts (if ever fails a new cart should be all that is required. The downside is long wait getting ready to print and high costs of carts (but for those of us that print very little don't have to replace that often). Have no idea if usable with Chromebooks. As said for most people not needing glossy color photos laser seems to be the ticket (although a bit more real-estate/power may be required). Just make sure it will work with your OS as do not believe Chromebooks are generally sold here.
  9. It is not free but hospital can provide - this is not the flu season however (rainy season) - April is normal time to have current vaccine available but if more than 12 months since your last probably good to get now as flu is something you can get year round here.
  10. Not only the search - even if you do not add Lazada - but much better chance for a reasonable price in my experience (not sure if fact/fiction/chance). Lazada search all too often brings up a page for 2x-3x normal priced items from seller names that look like passwords.
  11. I often have to right click on an empty spot and ask Chrome to translate to English to get full English on Lazada. Lazada is set to English - computer to English US - country Thailand and region settings Singapore (English) (to get C and date formats).
  12. If going to Penang for several days perhaps could obtain tourist visa from Thai Consulate? That used to be a normal place to obtain visas. As for border crossing Sadao was the normal point for non train crossing or activating new entry. Back in the days normally used share taxi between Hat Yai and Penang for a little better smelling air. The vans were cheaper but not a pleasant ride and often drivers would try to extort pax an extra fee at crossing point.
  13. Have been using RCBO for more than 40 years and never had an issue and most of that time have had at least 3 refrigerators. But perhaps best to put on the same RCBO you are using in main house so outage quickly noticed. Lost ice cream can be replaced. Good ground and RCBO helps greatly to avoid the need for our and our loved ones replacement.
  14. As said data must be turned off in phone until you buy a data plan (charge per minute without a plan will quickly use any normal balance up).
  15. Totally false - as most of your postings. A re-entry permit only keeps the current permitted to stay alive.
  16. I suspect you did not notice the posting date was in August. I blame it on the convoluted time system used here (not providing actual times for same day posts makes no sense to me - nor not having posts marked by consecutive numbers as they used to be).
  17. Be aware that reminder is often received the day before the application window starts so best to wait a bit after receipt (which does not seem to be your issue if accepted). As said approval can be almost immediate to a few days.
  18. Almost all non opiate drugs are over the counter in Thailand (but not all drug stores will have everything and some do require a registered pharmacist be on duty).
  19. Don't know if they have changed but IMHO private was definitely not worth it when I rode the rails. Across carriage sleeping rolled you over every time train stopped (about every 20 minutes on single tracks). But perhaps this is better with many dual tracks now. 2nd class sleeper was a much better trip. Road the Bangkok/CM/Hat Yai and Vientiane routes often last century (that does sound old).
  20. You are talking about a Thai insurance plan you and wife currently have? Or a foreign plan?
  21. I really do not believe you want to know at this point. I clearly said extending non immigrant visa entry (not visa or extension of stay).
  22. You are extending your new non immigrant visa entry. Your tourist visa entry is gone. So now, if meeting other requirements, you can extend one year at a time using TM.7
  23. Only looked at the files extension, as suspect most of us do, so likely that was the case. Those that worked were also in MKV containers
  24. I believe they were some type of MKV
