Thanks for the info

Great idea. Thanks.

The items in the package are supplements; vitamins, protein powder, etc. You're right. I used to send them (different kind of supplements) through DHL and they gave the people in Thailand a hard time when picking up. So bad that we had to abandon the package and swear never to use DHL again. I was planning to use USPS as well but just checking here first in case if someone know a better option.

Really? I know that DHL is well known for speed and reliability. However they always give people in Thailand a hard time when it comes to custom, taxes, before they allow the pick up. One time they wanted to charge the fee at destination about 3X of the value of item ???? Insane. I was told to avoid them ever since.

Thank you. The website looks nice ???? However it looks like they only service those who ship from Oregon, Georgia, Florida, and UK. I'm in Illinois. Out of luck I guess.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Do they charge lower than USPS and the likes? Do you have their names?

Hi, I need to ship a package to my friend in Bangkok from the US. What's the cheapest way to do it? This is not urgent. It can go via ship if need be. Please advise. Thanks, Patrick

Thank you!

Thank you everyone for confirming that it's not possible to open a bank account in Thailand without physical present.

Thanks for your advice. What is a foreign card? Is it something that could receive a fund transfer?

Hi, Which banks allow opening a bank account online? I'm currently traveling and won't be in Thailand until January next year. However I need to have a Thai bank account to receive money as soon as possible. I have both Thai and foreign passports. I also have all Thai documents: house registration, national ID card, etc. I just don't have a bank account. I scouted old posts and found someone mentioned about Tik Tok Services (http://tiktokservicesthailand.com/) helped him open a bank account quickly. Do you guys recommend them? I'm open to any ideas/suggestions. Thank you.

Some of them are adjustable. You could reduce the degree angle to make it easier on your calf. Mine has 2 levels: 30 degree and 45 degree. The 30 degree is easier to use. It doesn't stretch the calf/tendons as much.

Thanks

Wow, thanks for the English name! Now I could do more research ???? Also thanks for the video

Hi guys, This tool is quite popular in Thailand (see attached picture). I've seen it in many Thai houses. It's very simple to use; simply stand on it for 5 to 20 minutes. The Thais claim that it stretches the calf muscles which helps in blood circulation of the entire body and other whole hose of benefits. I wonder how true is this or is it just a folk tales. Anyone has a link that shows any scientific explanation of the benefits from using this tool? Feel free to share your opinions or experiences. Thanks.

Huh?

You must have a good immune system ????

So obvious ????

Exactly

Hi, I've been in many countries. Only rain in Bangkok makes me sick (flu like symptoms). The only way to prevent the sickness is to quickly wash my head/hair right away. I wonder why this is the case. Does Bangkok air have a special kind of flu that gets activated when combining with the rain and our head skin? ???? Anyone experience this or have a better way to deal with it? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I saw the 20 min as well. However I thought that they would check the paperwork at the check-in which is 2 hours before the flying time. Hmm... I'll wait for others to join in.

Hi, On the Thailand Pass website Sandbox program, it said "Obtain a negative COVID-19 test result (RT-PCR), issued within 72 hours before travelling". The 72 hours starts from the time the result is issued, right? Not the time the sample is collected. My flight to Phuket is 27 January 6:30pm. I just got the test results back (negative yay! ???? ) today 24 January 6:10pm. That's 72 hours. So I should be good to go, right? The airline is Qatar Airway (flying from Chicago, one stop at Doha Qatar) if that matter. Thanks,

Thanks for the tip ????

My Phuket hotel is cheap compared to Bangkok. However the Phuket transportation is expensive (again compared to Bangkok). I based what is "expensive or cheap" when comparing to Bangkok ???? which doesn't mean it's correct. However that's the only reference I have in Thailand.
