What would be a nice little gift for our Thai friends boys aged 11 and 14 yo? Humble kids from the countryside?

Euro & USD are OK in gold shops in Danang. Good rates too. Bank lady told "go there!" Nice people.

A surprise: THB rate was very good so we used that most.

Great, thanks so much!

Just wondering how situation is in NHA Trang now. Is it very busy? Is it worthwhile to spend there a couple of days at the beach?

How about the acceptance of EURO banknotes?

OP, make an appointment (works well) 

You may/will require a screenshot of TM30 and basic copies of pp pages.

Which immigration office? 

It is immigration in Phangnga.

 In any case thanks so much for your comments.

I have entered with the 60 day TR VISA. Has anybody got experience with the online visa extension for 30 days? Does it work and/or is it compulsory to do it online? Or can you still just show up at the immigration office with your paperwork. Thanks so much.

Bought a quality king-sized latex topper, with zippered cover, from Lazada a couple years ago. One of the best purchases ever. Two friends were so impressed that they also purchased the same one. There are different depths. I got the 2 inch. 

Do you happen to remember the name of the brand?

So sorry to hear the bad news. Thank you so much for all your help. You were the BEST!! Rest in peace. My condolences to the family and friends!

Regarding the World Championship in Qatar, the half finals are on Thai TV only at 2 am. Does anyone know which Thai channel shows the repetition of these games and at what time? Thanks so much!!

If deposit using Wise is marked as a local transfer download the PDF from Wise, which will provide the path used, and go to Thai bank listed to obtain paperwork showing it came from overseas (there is a name for it but forget what it is).  Just the PDF from Wise (along with bank book/statement) might be accepted but best to get the extra proof from the Wise paying bank.

Thanks so much to Lopburi!!

If transferring using Wise, select reason Long Term at the bottom of the drop-down menu. Then the transfer will be documented as an international transfer in your Thai bank account.

Great, thanks for the information!

Yes, you'll are right, lost a couple of weeks... between finding a apartment and procrastination

A question though, if the 800K is supposed to come from abroad, is Wise acceptable? I thought it shows up in the statement as  a local deposit, there's only an email sent to the receiver.

Any protocol on this that needs to be followed?

Thank you

 

 

I am also curious to know if Wise is possible.

Just wondering how much is the average rate for one unit of electricity in a house/condo Phangnga South Thailand? Thanks for your knowledge in advance!

@Mickeymaus has the correct strategy and it's very simple to do (at least in Chrome):

 

Right click with your mouse anywhere on a Lazada page and select "translate" from the list.  It will automatically translate to whatever language you selected in Chrome Preferences for languages. 

 

Note: Do NOT add Thai to the Google preferences for Languages.  The list is only for languages you want to translate TO, not from.

 

Don't even bother using Lazada's language button which usually will not translate reviews or even work on all pages.

 

 

Thanks so much!

Let me make this very very simple....

 

On a PC, Use a Chrome browser......

 

Make sure Lazada or Shopee is set to English.....

A modest amount of stuff WILL be in English....But most will not be in English..

 

Right click the mouse on the page to translate.....Then click on translate...

 

There you go,.....That's it....

 

No highlighting required...............

 

Thanks great I will try!!

Thanks I will try it!!

Have tried selecting "English" ?

 

Are you using pc or app ?

Just the App. Will try on the PC.

I am often scrolling thru Lazada descriptions and mostly find them in Thai language only. Once it was possible to just copy and paste for translation. This is no longer possible. Any idea how to translate the Lazada product descriptions?

Hello

 

Did you get you wise card sent to your Thai address and if so how did you do that?

I requested the Wise card while still in Europe.

Thanks, I have a THB balance so it should work out fine.

Now arrived in Thailand and our local 7/11 accepts the WISE CARD with my Thai Baht balance without problems!!
