Medical evacuation doesn't have a fixed cost and can vary widely. Standard practice is to move the IP (injured party) to the nearest center of medical excellence for their specific or medical condition. For example, I had an employee offshore Nigeria who caught malaria but through a previously un-diagnosed medical condition, had life-threatening complications. He needed critical care including dialysis that wasn't available in Port Harcourt or Lagos. The medevac flight arrived from the UK, the team stabilized the IP before transferring to the aircraft, whereupon he was flown to Nairobi in Kenya. I would imagine that the IP in this story may require a large support team and complex handling because, 'He currently has external pelvic fixations and cannot move from a laying down position. He needs a second operation to insert internal fixations before he can start the long recovery process ahead before he will be able to sit on a flight to get home.'

They only want residents of Jersey or obscenely rich people with private islands in the Caribbean who own their own airline as a customer. Same goes for Isle of Man.

Not sure about the tech jargon but my eBay frequently launches similarly unformatted and unworkable. So it's either a cookie purge or VPN job to get it usable again: neither method guarantees success. A few times though, it launches OK without the faffing about.

That's a worry. I opened a Barclay's account as a backup in 2018 and my only two walk-in dealings have been quite fraught as the 'advisor' was pretty obvious in trying to catch if I was truly a UK resident. One trick question was reading out my street address as she typed on the computer, then qucikly turning to look at me while asking innocently, "Whereabouts is that?" Luckily, I know the town well enough that it's not in any named borough so the confident answer was "You know, off the A9, between the industrial estate and the river."

As an international gypsy since 1977, it is a struggle these days. After my parents passed, the 'holding address' duties were taken on by my sister. Then she had a stroke just before Covid and working through my autistic niece was challenging. I shifted my address to my mate's place last summer and all under control for the moment but he's planning on retiring, selling his house and moving to Thailand! There are several UK companies that wil provide a mailing address and have different packages for either opening/scanning/emailing or physical mail forwarding. If you form a company through an agency, some of those will include the same mail holding/processing/forwarding for a fee. I held onto a PO Box in the US for several years after my departure but gradually the expense wasn't worth it. As banks, businesses and subscriptions pushed for more electronic document format and less physical mail, there was no point in paying my lawyer's assistant to do the monthly box emptying and forwarding. I still use their office address to satisfy the residency rules but for the likes of online purchases, there's a couple of international package consolidation and forwarding services that work fine.

Maybe the insurance company is waiting for proof that alcohol was NOT involved before handing out the cash? It's possible there's a police report on the incident or they are seeking eyewitness testimony? It's also common for medical evacuation to be an add-on or only available under more expensive 'Premium' coverage. Either way, it's still their money.

Apart from your misinformation regarding passport turnaround time at the US Embassy in Bangkok, I assume most folks who know how a calendar works handle their passport renewals without drama.

On Firefox, it doesn't load properly using 3BB direct but is fully functional using 3BB via my (US) VPN.

What? You've never heard of "parking the beef bus in tuna town"?

We brought our pre-schooler along to immigration when renewing a marriage extension. He absolutely charmed the female officers on what transpired to be the fastest marriage extension filing ever. I would imagine that the letter of the law says they need to see the child, especially if it is the first extension filing. I have heard that some offices will appreciate that the kids are in school when doing a renewal. Better the OP ask at the Immigration office he will be using.

Can you post more specifics? From your brief sentence, this sounds like an add-on service provided by third-parties that's available to travelers on the Thai side BEFORE they enter Cambodia?

reword to your first 90 day report due date is And note that the 90-days INCLUDES the day of application, same as the 30 (45) day visa exempt entry INCLUDES the day you entered and regardless if it was ten-to-midnight on that day.

Since local immigration offices tend to run fast and loose with interpretation of the rules, you may get more relevant advice if you can name the two immigration offices that may have an interest in your movements. That also helps if your 'home' jurisdiction is one of those that demands you "check-in" with them once you return home. Some (but not all) of them don't care if you are returning to your 'registered' residence. I can offer that hotels will normally do the reporting of your presence in a different province. It can get a bit convoluted with smaller provincial hotels or if you're staying at a friends home or a rental property. However, the immigration police of the province you are visiting are unlikely to worry about your movements as much as the ones at your home base.

Why? Did you post similar, helpful comments in ALL of them as well?

Only if you don't think outside the box or roll over on the previous owner's recalcitrance. Since the OP suggested "...unless something threatens his peaceful holidays here", I just offered another avenue. For a long time, foreigners were using the Thai company 'loophole' for property ownership but this is coming under renewed scrutiny (again) as the government, like many others, goes on a tax/cash grab. One of the requirements is having the nominee Thai shareholders identified with a tax ID and ensuring their taxes have been paid, as well as checking on the company's tax business. While I agree that some of these companies get full service from the law office that set them up, plenty lawyers made a fast buck and the foreigner thinks it was a one-off solution. As suggested earlier. Maybe it is a legitimate Thai company but a foreigner can't be the majority shareholder so maybe that's why the guy feigned ignorance of the procedures to offload the pickup? Seems strange that he was savvy enough to form a company but not all companies are formed by businessmen for doing business. However, if this guy insists 'speak to my lawyer' and the OP insists on getting this vehicle transfer fully legal, then he needs to get a lawyer as well. Having said that, the truck only cost 145 k so probably not worth the hassle unless the OP wants to sell it.

Handy to have. You can then try pot luck with the wi-fi at a Dynasty Group hotel or the Marriott and use your pocket gadget as a backup. My hotel recommendation is Parkroyal Suites (formerly Phachara Suites) on Soi 6, opposite Dynasty Grande. On a recent stay, their internet was better/faster than when I stayed long-term back in 2011 when it was Phachara. However, like a lot of newer commercial-grade wi-fi systems for hotels and businesses with higher traffic, there's an auto-disconnect function to keep bandwidth up. I found I had to re- log-in a couple of times on both my devices so ended up mostly using my always-on AIS internet on one and hot-spotting.

The OP has already explained that the 'bribe' was offered by a third party AFTER the IO rejected him. Nobody asked the OP about proof of adequate funds. The stamp with annotation referencing section 12 (2) of the immigration Act is their go-to rejection, regardless if there's proof of funds or otherwise as it's easy for them to say they never saw it. It's Thai immigration's equivalent to the 'broken tail light' excuse used by most US police forces for a traffic interdiction. The UK cops like to use 'you ran a red light' apparently.

We used to have pigeons roosting in the car port on our rental. They only seemed to target our house. The reason was the two small bowls of dry dog food left out. A bit of self discipline and better management on dog feeding times including taking the bowls inside after feeding and the pigeon 'problem' flew away.

Also the 'delivery guy' could be from one of up to half-a-dozen "delivery partners" so unless 'bundled' by a multi-item seller, each item will have it's own delivery charge. When the online multi-item purchases are made, the price per item/shipping (for collection if COD) is displayed.

I have stayed in several hotels on the bottom end of Suhhumvit and in my opinion none have offered consistently good, fast or reliable internet. It's not their primary revenue stream. Maybe trial AIS and DTAC data packages on your smartphone, pick the best one and go standalone, either via your smartphone or additional personal/pocket wi-fi hardware. https://store.ais.co.th/en/accessories/pocket-wifi-home-wifi.html?limit=all https://www.dtac.co.th/en/dtac-athome-plus

Maybe the lawyer is his wife or the one who set up his company. I wonder if his company are current with their Thai tax obligations?

Looks like a handy tool for existing HSBC customers. From the headforpoints forum, "I did several tests exchanges to compare rates and currently HSBC comes first, Fineco UK second, Starling third and Wise fourth."

You pays your nit-noi money, you takes your chances.

If the OP's 'pyro pal' teaches him to "burn off safely", then pyro pal will be out of work. The OP think too much.
