I doubt he knows how to use a modern smartphone. 

He's had two years to get to grips with it, I would guess he's pretty much au fait with it by now.????

Someone's on a fishing trip.

I have a similar issue, I have to renew mine during the pre-Songkran bottleneck at immigration. Never pleasant!

As mine is a multiple entry OA, when travel restrictions ease around the region, I intend to leave the country and reset the date on my return as ubonjoe suggests.

Another succinct and snappy title for a post Mr. G.

Farang is as good as anything. I've been called far worse in other parts of the world, and as most Thais would struggle to pronounce my first name anyway, I'll settle for it.

Sorry, I don't have a link. I bought them before, not expensive.

I so much miss the feeling of my female barber's soft touch on my neck, as she cuts my hair.

This is why I won't allow my wife to cut my hair,  - I fear the soft touch on my hair as she cuts my neck. ????

I guess we need to hear his side of the story but I hope he's not DUI

At 88 he shouldn't still be driving.

At 88 the fact that he can still pee freely is mighty impressive!

Korat Immigration don't  require one. 

That said, each time I take one - just in case. 

He is now looking for a young lady for short time.

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

It is not the vendor that you buy your ticket from that benefits from the overpricing. These people work a wealthy individual or company who pay them 300 baht a day. It is their employer that fixes the price and collects all the income.

Two days ago I booked a train ticket to Bangkok for next week, an interprovincial journey.
In addition to asking for sight of my passport, the ticketing clerk also asked for proof of vaccination. Not a problem, I merely opened the Mor Phrom app. and let him check the details.

However, I was taken a little by surprise. Whether this is a SRT or BMA requirement wasn't made  clear. Nor do I know whether I would have been refused the ticket had I not been vaccinated.  I have looked online but have not seen this requirement mentioned anywhere.  

I don't mind, in fact I find it slightly encouraging but has anyone else encountered something similar to this?

 

Thank you. 

Humour is the best medicine for whatever ails you.

According to their T&Cs they are meant to inform you if they are declaring the account dormant. 

That said, would they have had an updated contact address?

Just checked mine using Android and it's working fine. Having said that it wasn't necessary for me to sign on so I haven't attempted to re-enter my password.

Isn't this what we do when dealing with bereavement?  We throw ourselves into our work or something else to distract us from our grief and sense of loss.

Bloody Omicron! 

London taxi drivers are required to know all the streets within a 6 mile radius of Charing Cross, it's called 'the Knowledge' . On average it takes about 3 to 4 years to master. 

If your London taxi driver was suddenly gifted with the ability to read and speak Thai then I would imagine it would take him a similar period to learn a 6 mile radius from say The Grand Palace or wherever you place your central point .   

Makes good sense to me, given the all year round bloodletting on the roads. It's a pity more people don't travel by train.

Unfortunately trains have been seen as the poor mans means of transport and have been woefully underfunded by successive governments. Only now is Bangkok beginning to catch up with other capital cities around the world with the skytrain and the underground. Sadly though, the rest of the country has not seen any investment.
