  1. Agents don't do CoR (at least I have never found one to do it for me). That's what she told you, Thai way.
  2. Yes, you can. 30 days before expiry, in Bangkok (and maybe some other places) 45 days.
  3. At lest that's what is written on the package....
  4. Where in Thailand are you? Emla is easily available in bigger pharmacies.
  5. Yes. This is what I did the last 2 times. After I got my report at CW I always canceled my online request (it was still pending).
  6. That's nice to hear, I will definitely try online again.
  7. I did my last 90 days 15 days early. Then I realized that I "lost" 15 days - it had become a 75days report, because the new 90 days started on the day of my report (but if you report late, during the 7 days grace period, the new 90 days start from the day you should have reported, not on the actual day of your report). Result: the next 90 days report is due about 2 weeks before the next visa extension. So it will be 2 trips to CW insteaf of one.. Of course, I am always glad if I have a chance to visit CW.
  8. Yes, I did check the status. "Pending" My point is that this seems to be not an automated process ( like CoE and TP sometimes were). It seems to be manually processed. You you need at least a couple of working days. Weekends don't count.
  9. Just read the article. And another poster even told everybody where to find which bank it is.
  10. How can she have a transfer slip if the transfer wasn't done using the app? At my bank, you get them only if you use mobile banking.
  11. Not if the transfer is done at an ATM or in a branch. You have to set it up this way. Not everybody does.
  12. I am using the new system. As I said, the reasons why until now it has never worked for me are different every time I try. Once because I had a new passport. Once because I had a new visa. This time because I didn't do it early enough (I didn't get rejected, just pending). The whole point of my OP was: if you want to do it online, do it early. It may take the better part of a week. Not 2-3 days.
  13. The mentioned study is just the latest study to confirm something that is well known. I read the navy is setting up a couple of outdoor air purifiers. So we will breathe clean air soon.
  14. Yes. Which number? 1178?
  15. I didn't realise how long it takes - 2 or 3 days, but that's working days (more precisely, days that Immigration is working). Today was the 6th day of my 7-day grace period (Immigration counts it as the 7th day and I had to report by today). Reporting Friday afternoon obviously didn't work. Nice trip to CW. As always, 90 days report online didn't work for me. The reasons were different every time. I will try next time.
  16. I would hope that most posters don't have more than 2 legs.
  17. The fruit vendor near Phesat Rungroj (there are several, I am talking about the one who sells mangoes). I gave up buying from her, it's just too disgusting. You said "one" place. You need more? Is there a maximum length for posts on AN? BTW many years ago, the chamber of commerce of Hua Hin discussed, whether to recommend double pricing. There were those who objected. The result was a quite official recommendation to charge tourists more. AFAIK things haven't changed in Hua Hin.
  18. What counts as "air pollution" in Europe and what we experience here is different by an order of magnitude. I just checked Bangkok on aqicn: 114 - not too bad. But I cannot remember having seen values like this in my home country. I just checked my home town, a city of 2m people: 12. This city is renowned for the worst air in the country, so I checked our capital, which is a lot bigger: 11.
  19. That's for a low-dose CT as lung cancer screening, not the same. But as Sheryl said, I don't see the point of doing a CT scan at this time.
  20. Government hospital was 1 hour away, private hospital around the corner.
  21. They allow Thai branches of foreign banks. But immigration would not be able to check whether the documents from a bank in a foreign country are legitimate or not. And if I show up with statements from my account at First Somali Shabab Bank Inc. - how would they even know whether this bank exists? How would they know that if need may be I can easily transfer money from there to Thailand?
  22. I guess so. Paolo Hospital Chokchai 4, near Ladprao, formerly Siam General Hospital. Belongs to the BDMS-Group (= Bangkok Hospital group). Not non-profit.
  23. Sure it was, one of the big islands
  24. Second tier private hospitals often charge the same prices as the fancy marble ones
