  1. Two options, go to the nearest Kasikorn bank near you and ask if they can help (I've heard some people say they were able to get the letter from their local branch, or use the attached link to locate the nearest International Trade Center near you, but the link doesn't list all, as the one I went to here in Pattaya isn't on their website. https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/branch/Pages/result.aspx?q=dummy&option=6&lat=13.724599&lng=100.6331106
  2. A couple of years ago when I did a Wise transfer from the US to my Bangkok Bank for "Long Term Stay in Thailand" purpose, one transferred came from Kasikorn (no FTT in my BKK bankbook), and I had to go to Kasikorn (International Trade Center branch) and they were able to print me a letter showing it was an international transfer. After that I sent Wise an email asking them to "tag" my transfers to only use Bangkok Bank, since then no problems. Email transcript; "Hello, I'm a US citizen living in Thailand and was wondering how can I add a tag so my future THB transfers are only routed through Bangkok Bank?" Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the late reply. I have added the necessary tags for your future THB transfers to be routed through Bangkok Bank. Do note however that this has been applied only to your existing THB recipients- so if you would like this to be applied to a different THB account in the future, do reach out again to us and we'll be more than happy to help you with it again???? I would also like to inform that though we try to always route with your preferred payment partner, this tagging does not work 100% of the time as sometimes the partner itself has issues with paying out so we end up using another payout partner. Please let me know if you have further queries and I'd be happy to help. Have a lovely weekend. Kind regards,
  3. Where do you plan on staying while in Thailand? If I were you, I'd first start with applying for a Non O visa based on marriage, with the Thai Embassy in your home country, no agent needed. Then when you arrive here, you can open a Thai bank account in your name only with the required 800,000 THB (or a joint account with 1,600,000 THB), get your marriage registered at your local amphur. Depending on the length of stay your on that visa, you'd either have 3 months and then apply for a extension, in which time you can make ready for a yearly visa based on marriage. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/spouse-and-family-visa
  4. Example, on odd number days, you can only park on the North side and NOT the South side, then on even numbered days you can only park on the South side and NOT the North. I've seen cars and bikes towed away in the past.
  5. Whenever I do my yearly extensions, I go about 2 weeks prior, that way I still have time to fix any problems if they arise without feeling rushed. You never want to wait to the last 1-2 days, also check to see if there are any holidays coming up where banks or government offices will be closed.
  6. Do you have any shortcut settings? Like if you press two buttons at the same time (i.e. volume & home) it will switch to vibrate.
  7. Are we able to check multiple boxes? Cause I now many that are married that also have a gf or a gik or renting....asking for a friend, 555.
  8. Wow, I thought you were joking/being sarcastic, good luck with that. Keep us posted.
  9. I've never used this option, but it's worth looking into if you can't trust the delivery in your are. Find a shipper's office in your area (Flash, Kerry, LEX, Thai Post) get their info and use their "Drop Off" option. https://sellercenter.lazada.co.th/seller/helpcenter/delivering-products-to-the-service-point-or-drop-off-point-11864.html
  10. The phone carriers (DTAC, True, AIS) sell phones on their websites. And other websites like Power Buy, Big C, Tesco Lotus, Banana IT, as well as the Thai Apple/Samsung/etc. sell phones.
  11. Does Thailand have minimum security prisons or are they all the same?
  12. How long and how strong are that toddler's arms?
  13. You could give the SS office a call and ask; #1506. Or use their Chat option from their website; https://www.sso.go.th/wpr/
  14. I've only dealt with Jomtien IO and over the years seen many farangs walking in with an attitude or an air of rudeness only to get shot down by the person they're dealing with.
  15. Will they take his mug shots with or without make-up?
  16. I use Lazada all the time but instead of having Pattaya as the city, I have Banglamung, 20150.
  17. Word has it, he's attempting to pull a D.B. Cooper entrance to Thailand....
  18. The Thai embassy in Brussels is confusing as hell, 555 Holders of Travel document issued by the Belgian government is NOT entitled to enter Thailand under the Visa Exemption scheme. ***Belgian and Luxembourgish passport holders are eligible to travel to Thailand without a visa and stay no more than 30 days under the visa exemption scheme. *** https://www.thaiembassy.be/2022/09/01/visa-exemption-scheme/?lang=en
  19. If I was the OP, I'd ask the Thai embassy in Brussels, seems their website might need updating. If the OP is good for a 30 day visa on arrival, then go with onwardticket.com just incase the airlines ask to see a ticket.

  21. Are you sure about not needing a visa? This is what the Thai embassy in Brussels says about needing a visa or not; Visa on Arrival Purpose of visit “Tourism/Leisure activities” (less than 15 days)” ***If your intended stay exceeds 15 days, you need to apply for a visa before travelling to Thailand.*** https://www.thaiembassy.be/2022/08/29/visa-on-arrival/?lang=en
  22. Getting back on topic, OP, have you tried driving around and checking the local neighborhood hardware stores? Give your area in town (Jomtien? Darkside? Nakula?), and you'll get better answers. Google Maps, Darkside link

    New Tyres

    What's the manufacture date on the tyres? Look for a 4 digit number, first 2 numbers are the week (1-52) and the last 2 numbers are the year, my tyres show 2422 (24th week of the year 2022). Many tyres start showing wear/tear/cracks/loss of traction after 5-6+ years. You say they are new, what kind of shop did you buy them from? A big chain or a small 1-2 man shop?
