I arrived in Chiang Mai October 4 2023 under similar circumstances and the PDF of my SETV on my phone was accepted.

...If you really don't know what to do, just ask a broker, I've seen on this forum that AA Insurance Broker is often mentioned as a good one.

Regards,

Thanks pub2022. I was certainly looking in the wrong place. Now to wait for the servers for Tune/Luna to come back up.

Cheers

Thanks all for your help and links. Sadly, my question is not yet addressed. I am applying for an METV (multiple entry Thai visa). The duration of the visa is up to 180 days. The length of stay for my planned trip is 150 days (April 4 - Augustl 31). No policy I have found offers more than 7/15/30/60/90 days coverage. When asked for a departure date I cannot select a date beyond 90 days.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Between graduation from high school and a late start at university I went through a number of crappy jobs and was fired from a couple. Back then I assumed I was smarter than my supervisor(s)/boss(es). I might have been, but it wasn't the best start on my CV.

how to transfer contacts and other files from Samsung to the Pixel. Samsung has the Smart Switch app that allows for backup and restore, does Pixel has something similar....

 

When you set up your new phone you should be presented with the option to copy files and apps from your old phone. Google (Android) contacts, email, etc, are generally automatically backed up and restored to your new phone as well.

While you shared very little on your requirements, not the least of which would be budget, my guess is that you would NOT be happy with a Pixel 6, that you will be disappointed with it and that you should NOT purchase a Pixel 6.

 

A manistream phone from the aforementioned Samsung or Xiaomi - I loved the Xiaomi Mi A1 and A2 (both Android One), and keep a Samsung A51 - would likely suit you better.

 

 

 

 

I'm wondering why you imagine anyone would be disappointed with a Pixel 6. Notwithstanding the op's budget constraints, what exactly would he be missing?

I came to the Pixel 6 from my beloved Xiaomi Mi9. As much as I like the svelte and clean Mi9 the Pixel is superior in every way other than it's heft.

I don't know how it compares to the Galaxy S21, but reviews favor the Pixel for it's camera and it's price. And for those who care, it comes with the pure Android experience.

• Depending on the model typing is much the same as any laptop.
• If you are a Creative Cloud subscriber you can now run Photoshop in a browser on a Chromebook. 
• Current higher-end Chromebooks support Android apps, which means  you can install the Android version of Calibre as well as the available Android Photoshop apps.
• Intel-based Chromebook typically allow the use of Crostini to install Linux on a Chromebook. If you have the wherewithal to manage installing Linux you can install any and all Linux applications, including Audacity.

A ฿4000 ($120.00) will unlikely offer any of the functionality you desire. You will have to pony up for an Intel chipped Chromebook with sufficient RAM to do what I described above. That said, once done you'll find that Chromebook tremendously useful. Chromebooks are notably light, portable and with long battery life. They are a cinch to backup, reset and restore, and they give you immediate access to the universe of Google apps. I'm on my fourth Chromebook. The three previous I handed off to others and they're all still functioning.

If all of the above sounds daunting, consider a Windows Surface Pro. My wife has one and is entirely happy with it.
