  1. How on earth are you expected to prove non-delivery of an item? What happened to the need for a delivery driver to obtain a signature on delivery?
  2. Thanks. I wasn't aware of the change. It's a while since I've used a reason other than "funds for long-term stay".
  3. What reason are you selecting on the Wise site for the transfer? If you select "funds for long-term stay" then you can expect to see your transfer early the same afternoon if make your transfer reasonably early in the morning and the following afternoon if you make your transfer later in the day. If you select any other reason than "funds for long-term stay" then your transfer will be almost instantaneous.
  4. Possibly a small hiatal hernia.
  5. I had a similar problem a month or so ago, albeit different medication. I was able to purchase online from a company called Medisafe. I have no idea if they would be able to fulfil your requirements but worth a try. I submitted a request for a quotation through their website and subsequently placed the order on LINE.
  6. Perhaps a decent state pension would be of more help. Less exciting for sure but somewhat more practical. Currently Thais receive a pension of the princely sum of 600 baht per month at the age of 60 and incremental rises of a further 100 baht every decade. If they can make it through to 100 they will receive 1000 baht per month.
  7. Surely there isn't much in a passport that needs translation? Date of birth, place of birth, date of issue, expiry date, place of issue and that's about it? A lawyer/solicitor could do it for you. I have used Isaan Lawyers in Korat in the past and they are helpful and reasonably priced but I imagine you could find one locally in Buriram.
  8. Not according to Google No, a valid US tourist visa does not allow entry into Thailand for visitors who would otherwise require a visa. Thailand has specific visa exemptions and on-arrival visa options for certain nationalities, but a US tourist visa is not one of them, according to the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Thailand. You must either be from a country that is exempt from needing a visa for Thailand, or obtain the appropriate Thai visa before traveling. It seems improbable, worth checking with the Thai Embassy in whichever country you currently reside?
  9. AXA allow entry up to 80 and will insure up to 90. I have never used them myself, so I can't pass comment upon how helpful they are when it comes to making a claim. Also I would imagine the premiums would be pretty eye-watering.
  10. Probably the best line I'm going to read on here today. 😂
  11. This is from Google AI so don't put too much trust in it Yes, Cambodians can file their 90-day report online in Thailand. Foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 90 days are required to report their address to immigration authorities every 90 days, and this can be done in person, by mail, or through an online system. To file online, foreigners need to access the Thai Immigration Bureau's website and use the online service for reporting over 90 days. They will need to have their passport and arrival card (TM.6) information readily available, and the online application must be submitted within 15 days of the due date, according to Acclime Thailand. Give it a try and see what happens. As has already been pointed out, do it sufficiently early so that you still have time to visit your immigration office if necessary.
  12. When renewing your passport you retain the passport while the application is processed in the UK. Only colour photocopies of every page are forwarded with your completed application form along with proof of address. In the vast majority of other countries you would be required to return the passport but because the law here requires you have valid ID an exception has been granted by HMPO. Without it you would not be able to enact any face-to-face banking, you would not be able to enter into any contractual arrangements, you would be unable to hire a motor vehicle, you would be unable to stay at a hotel etc, etc. When you make your appointment with VFS you will receive a confirmation, read the second from last paragraph for clarification.
  13. Also some people are retired and have all the time in the world to magnify small inconveniences into mountains. Sadly, it is what we tend to do as we get older. Thankfully, I have, so far, managed to avoid any major difficulties with Immigration, minor hiccups, yes but nothing more. However there are others who have fallen foul of the rules for reasons they may not understand. Some come on here to seek help, others to just bellyache. It's just human nature.
  14. Absolutely delighted that you appear to have broken free of this bureaucratic nightmare. However, it does seem perverse that they are prepared to accept the Country rather than the county as a place of birth. Doesn't exactly narrow it down, does it? Anyway, the important thing is that they have conceded and common sense has triumphed for once.
  15. The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band.
