  1. Makro is my usual place for them, the price varies but I get size 0 AFIR they were 134 last week
  2. Eggs will still stay fresh at room temperature for months. the process of washing eggs is purely an American thing as they haven’t bothered to control salmonella and the factory farms are nasty. In Europe it is illegal to sell washed eggs https://www.organiclifestylemagazine.com/why-the-u-s-washes-and-refrigerates-eggs-why-other-countries-dont
  3. You really should do your homework and not spout BS @it is what it is the cost for an iPhone SE battery replacement by apple is ฿ 1,600 not @Everymans over 4000. Even an iPhone 14 pro max is under 4000 but that would be under warranty so free also the least expensive iPhone SE 3rd gen starts at 17,900
  4. You have misread my quote using and not or. I’m sure that a search for the quoted text will assist
  5. There is no iPhone 5SE, the iPhone 5 S that was Discontinued March 2016 Maximum OSiOS 12.5.6 (16H71) The original iPhone SE was Discontinued September 2018 is listed as Latest release of iOS 15 The iPhone SE (2nd generation). I have one, is getting the current releases. The apps installed in all versions will continue to work, I have an iPhone 3GS, the apps all still work. However the apps will stop being updated so that will eventually stop some of them connecting so that is a concern, the banking apps are more likely to age out. So all in all even the iPhone SE that I guess you have is likely to get years of app updates. If it were me with an iPhone SE I would put in an Apple battery as that is likely to be the most efficient option, only if I intended to get a replacement soon (in not much more than a year) would a cheaper battery make sense
  6. Fresh eggs are usually perfectly OK for about 3 months they do not need refrigeration (unless they are American eggs) actually with refrigeration, they may loose moisture so the addition of oil will reduce this
  7. Yes you are since the all the thruppenny bits I’ve ever seen were not silver so yours must have been pre QEII though I don’t include the Maundy threepence as they never circulated.
  8. 1Password, I not only keep all my logins (over 300) but also virtually all my important documents I’ve used it for over 10 years, the document store is local, the encryption is state of the art, you can have just enough data so you can let the TSA or any border control have access while keeping the important information secure and out of their hands.
  9. So it seems from my reading of the paper that in general swimming pools SHOULD NOT be linked to the house earth and should be treated as a TT system. Do please clarify if I have misinterpreted the information.
  10. Why exactly do you want a low quality battery? Apple batteries are at the top end of the price range but so is the quality, so you can certainly get a lower quality battery at a lower price but not an equal quality battery for cheaper.
  11. I have a supply and any actual electrical supply shop will have it, our local (well 50km away) supplier has it. But you haven’t bothered to complete your profile so I’ve no idea where you are located.
  12. So does that mean that my extension is not a "proper" one ????
  13. The 60 day extension is anything but automatic, though it is easy. You must have your wife with you when you apply, as suggested going in a week before your current permission to stay is a good option as you may have forgotten a requirement.
  14. On the app Settings->Manage personal limits->DEBIT CARD->CARD WITHDRAWAL LIMIT
  15. Neither am I but you seem to be more knowledgeable than the supposed professional
  16. While it is a rather less than usual fault and in countries with a better maintained system it maybe very rare, it is hardly unknown. The problem is that it can & does happen with zero warning to you as it is usually out of your sight, and if it happens and you have the luck to be the household that has someone who becomes however briefly part of the wiring the result can be fatal. That is why you reduce the possibility of the fault causing injury. In Thailand with the conditions that prevail the chances are orders of magnitude greater, consequently it is more important to reduce the risk. So your suggestion is cavalier to say the least. The suggestion that you will notice because the voltage drops is suspect for various reasons, a couple being that in the daytime you may well not be using much that you immediately notice, another is that voltage drops of anything from 10v to 60v are not in the slightest rare in Thailand. So from a professional that kind of justification is terrible.
  17. The 90 day report is (in principle) totally separate from anything else and MUST always be done if you are in Thailand for a continuous period of 90 days or 90 days since your last report. The in principle is in italics because some offices will automatically do a report when you change your reason for your permission to stay . Also it is important to note that you do not have a visa you have a permission to stay and the rules are subtly different. Yes if you leave Thailand you need a reentry permit or you will have to start again. You should also expect that the immigration police will visit you during the under consideration period to verify that your marriage is de facto and de jure, they almost always ring before the visit to confirm a convenient time. Your wife must be present and at least one of your neighbours. For most immigration offices this will be the only visit though some visit more often
  18. As mentioned this is both an expensive option and has a poor exchange rate, but you do you
  19. Not conflicting views but differing policies in different offices. A poor assumption, reading TV will educate you on the differences in different offices. Every office sends the documents to the HQ of the region they are in, even if the HQ office is in the same city they are usually in a different physical location. They are certainly completely separate from the issuing section.
  20. I agree that wise is the best option. However here is proof that the transfer can take days in this case 5 calendar days. the transfer was initiated in the morning European time and received in the afternoon Thai time
  21. AFIK however you apply immigration never holds your passport. If you use an agent the agent is very likely to be the one to illegally hold your passport, however few care because the use of agents is borderline illegal anyway. Some agents for some purposes are completely legal, others for other purposes are using bribes to expedite or get a service in a way that is not lawful, so holding a passport is a minor infraction.
  22. You clearly do not understand the way that marriage extensions work. You never get an extension the day you apply. There is always an under consideration period that varies between a usual minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 75 days, the time is dependant on the office that you apply to (always your home office) and the policies they have. The only partly correct advice is needing to get a reentry permit before leaving if you have a permission to stay that you want to maintain.
  23. Sorry @Sheryl you are incorrect on a number of points. There is no need to change the flight, and the OP will not be on overstay. The OP can get a reentry permit for the under consideration period. So go to immigration renew the extension and get an under consideration stamp that will be around January 22nd get a reentry permit that will be the same as the consideration stamp return as planned on January 17 about 5 days before the under consideration period ends. No problem no fuss. FWIW my last entry into Thailand was 27 days after my extension finished, I got a permitted to stay of 3 days I then went to immigration and got my extension stamped as usual, I had a reentry permit for the under consideration period If the OP has an under consideration stamp and leaves after his extension expires but before the UC stamp does he is NOT on overstay
  24. You don’t understand that some offices always date the under consideration period to end 30 days after the extension ends, so the under consideration period can be anywhere from 30 days to 75 days. Just because your office does something one way means nothing. If the OPs office is one of the ones similar to the ones I mentioned and they will not budge on the date then he can get a reentry permit that will finish at the end of the under consideration period, so unless the OP is returning before March 27th he is out of luck and must return either visa exempt or get a different visa (non-O or tourist) and start again
  25. That depends on the bank you are sending it to, it can take days & has recently.
