Yes, he is very, very helpful.

get one of them THE WISDOM cards at kbank and skip the queue, in theory

Thanks, I'll check it out, but still no parking there. I'll also post in the Phuket forum, if I'm allowed. I was hoping for a shopping centre with parking and banks. At least I could go shopping and return to the bank every 1/2 hour or so to check if my queue number is close. 

At Krung Thai there were 8 people all waiting for counter 5. No one else. I was out in just over two hours for a 5 minute visit. 

Please don't laugh too much. 🙄

The Krung Thai bank at Chalong must have the fewest counters, the longest queue and only one staff with a brain. (Counter 5)

SCB over the road has a big car park used, I suspect, mostly by Non-SCB customers. 

Next to it is Kasikorn - no parking. 

I've been here 1 1/2 hours and the queue has moved on 2 numbers. I'm 10 more down the queue. 

Does anyone know a bank in Phuket that has parking, lots of counters and short waiting? 

I don't care where it is or which bank it is. 

I know, TIT, but enough is enough.

It's 90 days for each strike and if the count goes over 2 at any time the account is banned from YouTube.

The one with a "copyright+1" strike next to it was notified to me on 14th March this year. So that should've expired 5 days ago!

That was for a recent video (uploaded Dec '22) that had the same soundtrack as the one I uploaded in May 2008, and which was removed after a complaint by the copywriter owner. 

I just read all the details about strikes and, as you said, if you get 3, then your channel is closed. 

I must check if I still have the original videos on my PC and, if not, download them all.

You need more than 1000 subs and 4000 watch hours in a year. Then you can apply for monetization which is manually assesed. The copyright material means it falls at the first hurdle.

Nearly all 90+ of my videos are listed as copyright. A few (<10) are blocked. 

Looks like it's a non-starter.

Thanks for all your info.

You can't earn money on copyright material. I also owned a music channel, after several copyright strikes it got blocked and I lost access to the account. 

 

Yes, I've had a copyright strike on a couple. Not blocked yet 🤞

How many hours of watch time in the past 12 months ?

In the last 28 days 800 hours and 30,000 views. Don't know about 12 months. 

Does anyone know how much money can be made by monetizing a YouTube channel? 

I've had one for 15+ years, just for fun, but after running the app called YouTube Studio, it knew who I was, went to my channel, told me I had 34,500 subscribers and 30,000 views just this last month!

My channel has old 60's/70's music videos, but they're obviously still popular. 

Anyone done or doing monetizing? 

No idea who she is, but she wanted to buy some flowers from my flower shop, which I don't have. Pity.

The date is confusing.

But right next to the "Issue Date" is the "Expiry Date" and that is the one that is important. And it's in Thai and English so it shouldn't be hard to read.

It seems the "Issue Date" is the date of issue of your last (valid) 5 year license.

My 2nd license (first 5 year) expired in Apr 2018 but for various reasons, I wasn't able to get to the DLT to renew it until Jan 2019.

That one expired in Apr 2024. I renewed it at the beginning of April and my new license says "Issue Date: Jan 2019" (and "Expiry Date: Apr 2029").

I thought they'd made a mistake and only given me a license that expired in 3 weeks but then I saw it expired in 2029 so I took off my socks and started counting and realized the license was good for 5 more years (and 3 weeks) so I put my socks back on and was on my way.

Not sure why they don't change the Issue Date to the day the new license was issued.

 

Yes, you really have to remember when you last renewed it, rather than worry about "Why did they give me a license for 22 years?" 

😂

The license expires on you birthday. When you get a new one it is valid for 5 years from your next birthday.

 

If you renew a few days your birthday you'll only get 5 years but renewing a few days after you will get almost 6 years.

 

And you must be on a permission of stay that is 90 days or longer such as a Non-O, B, ED Visa or Extension of stay for marriage or retirement.

 

If on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry you will only be able to get a 2 year provisional license. Even if you have already had, or have, a 5 year license.

 

When you get a new license the issue date will not be the date you got the new one. The issue date will be the date of your FIRST license. My license expires in 2027 and the issue date is 2005.

Thanks, Joe. Nice to know someone else has the same long duration! 👍

I've got 4 years left.

I have for both bike and car, issued in 2005.

Google results say 5 years duration is normal. 

Has the duration changed? 

Or is there any way to check their validity? 

TIA

Do not delay on this, it is considered an ocular emergency as there is a risk of the dislocated lens damaging the eye.

 

Both repair of a dislocated IOL and cataract surgery are usually done under local anesthesia in Thailand. It used to be the same in the US and still often is, but with the advent of very effective and comparatively safe   short-acting IV sedation (e.g. propofol), that is often also provided in US. This is not actually general anesthesia, rather what is termed "conscious sedation", the patient is deeply sedated but rousable to strong stimuli. However  there is no memory of the procedure afterwards.  (propofol can also be used in combination with anesthetic gases for true general anesthesia but that would to have been done for a cataract surgery).

 

If you feel strongly about it, you can request IV sedation for the repair, but it will add to the cost. The procedure without it won't hurt, but of course can be anxiety-provoking to go through. Up to you -- but as mentioned, do not delay.

 

 

I didn't realise a "dislocated IOL" was a thing! Occasionally, when I look up and to the right I think I see something dark, but not sure. 

I'm having a checkup soon so will tell them. 

Thanks.

A 1970 Hillman Avenger?

Close! 😂 😂 I think it was supposed to look like a '69 Mustang 351, but not sure if it was in fact a Ford 3L Capri. 

There weren't many gif's around 20 years ago!

There are lots of members here have the BYD Seal, you could ask their opinion in the BYD Seal Helps & Tricks forum.

 

I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look at that forum next. 👍

Did you mean to follow it more closely or not to follow it more closely?

Sorry, I meant I should follow it more closely. I am actually thinking of buying a BYD Seal but the battery problems, if they exist, are making me consider something more like my avatar.

Yeah, there's still outages late evening I find. I've switched to watching snooker on BBC 2. Eurosport is total crap.

I think it's ImperfectTV that is total cr*p. 

I tend to watch YouTube repeats the following day. Why is YouTube perfect and Perfect is garbage? 

I have two computers - an old XP and a Windows 10 - but use only one mouse which hops from the right edge of the left screen to the left edge of the right screen.

Might be useful for you.
