No, there is no 2 tier pricing. First you will need a third party damages insurance and the insurance company can do the registration for you. I mean the official drone license. For national parks and public parks you are not allowed to fly, park rangers and security guards can spot you quickly in my experience. To get a permit for Khao Yai is most probably not easy because of the wildlife there.

I agree with that. The 4 Lite has less options and less capacity and the compact model even less than the Lite.

Every country has its dialects and even in a country like Germany you can encounter situations where people do not understand each others (for example tourists in Bavaria). Also Switzerland has different languages. The main point is to learn at least some basic Thai conversation. I travel often in areas where English is not understood. Even if my Thai is far from perfect I am always able to have basic conversations with locals. Of course in some areas it is more complicated but these cases are rare.

BKK Bank due by April 30th?
msbkk replied to Djinn91's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I suggest you check with your mobile provider. They all have English speaking call centers. Or just drop by at one of their shops. I am using postpaid since so many years and cannot remember the requirements by AIS. -

Postpaid Sim cards are not only for Thais, I am using one since many years. I know others who do as well. -
Cheapest place in Bangkok to buy new phone

Yes, but be careful. Some shops sell grey imports without official warranty in Thailand. -
Investing for safe returns

She can invest in a long term stock mutual fund and deduct this in the personal income tax calculation. Tax-Saving Funds (RMF/Thai ESG) -
Only to be used for short term use. You will damage your eyes in the long term. And most people do have different eye strength for both eyes which no cheap glasses can cover.

It does not really matter how large your cup is. It does not mean that there is more coffee (quantity of beans used) inside. You can see that at Starbucks serving large cups with weak coffee. A cup size is relevant only in regard of the water quantity used in the coffee. 1 Americano by international standard is always 1 double Espresso (usually around 18 gr. of beans) filled up with water.

THAI's Sky-High Deal: 45 Dreamliners to Revamp Fleet
msbkk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I personally found the seats on Dreamliners very narrow with unsufficient leg room. -
Not for Pattaya especially but Thailand overall. I highly recommend to visit a hospital and get the eyes tested by a professional. My experiences with the shops selling glasses have not been very convincing. Let a doctor give you a prescription and order the glasses outside the hospital.

I got a message from Tiktok that I am now eligible for 3 different monetization programs. I can for example partner with brands and get cash rewards, I think this is to do promotional content like short advertisements. I can also join Tik Tok shop for creators and share products to receive a commission. I can also do promotional videos for artists to receive commissions. And yes, you need lots of subscribers for that.

Pension Tax Filing Report - Rejected
msbkk replied to patrickl's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
A good friend has filed in Pattaya and paid around 30,000 Baht in taxes last week. -
As pollution levels are very high at the moment I would like to give another update regarding PM 2.5 filtering. I did some really intensive testing during the last few weeks. First of all filter paper taped to the aircons can bring only a slight improvement with air so bad during this time. I suggest to use them only in addition to air purifiers. For those who use taped filter paper onto the fan I can assure you that it simply does not work when pollution is high. Even the air purifiers have to work hard to bring the AQI levels to green. Summary: buy a decent air purifier, if possible several of them in case you have a house or a condo with several rooms.

NO MENTION OF THE MASSIVE POLLUTION NUMBERS ANYMORE - WHY?

It certainly is in the news. You just missed it. -
Thailand Cuts Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days to Combat Abuse
msbkk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The Bangkok Post reported this morning that the change in Visa duration has not been decided yet. It is just a proposal. -
Macro does not offer this.

Yes, out of 10 providers I tested 7 for a period of 12 months. Some were ok, but none were perfect.
-
I can only say that I tested at least 10 different providers and while some worked well for a while non did so in the long term. This does not mean that there might be one provider not tested by me who has a better service. To say that I am wrong is a bit of an overstatement.

4K or FHD on your tablet will not be the same on a large TV at all. It is a question of the monitor size. That's why for example Netflix charges much less on a phone or tablet in comparison to a large TV.

I had Smarters Pro on my TV and the resolution was not ok for certain providers. Of course you can watch it, but it is not HD. Other providers had real HD and Ultra HD but sooner or later buffering occurred or even a complete stop requiring a restart.
-
2 years ago I tested quite a lot of IPTV providers. There is no perfect IPTV. The only ones working had a decreased picture resolution meaning that sharpness was decreased. I guess this is the only way to provide a service with less buffering.

I personally like beans from Brazil (Santos or Cerrado). They usually have a smooth and mild chocolate caramel taste. There a many roasters offering these. Medium roast is fine for me, dark roast is more intense. For Thai beans go for Chiang Rai beans. I have visited different plantations in the North of Thailand and consider Chiang Rai the best. As mentioned coffee is a matter of personal taste, others might disagree with the above choices.
