  1. I am just checking Lazada for Gecko Repelant and I got 5972 products displayed. Of course all are in Thai language, no English. I am looking for a product that is cheap, effective, durable, smell good and will not harm the enviroment. We have a lot of fish ponds and everything that you spray around my house will eventually end up in the pond. Can anyone recomend one of these 5972 products that will do the job? I have read about some that are very effective like Chaindrite but this chemical is dealy to our fish in the ponds. Is there anything else out there that we can use to fight the invasion of the Geckos?
  2. Do you have any idea about the warranty for the SAMSUNG AC units? I bought mine in October 2020 and had them installed by a local installer who was paid by the vendor in December 2020. I just had a second unit fail. Maybe another Gecko! I also have a Daikin from June 2020. Also inverter unit. That one is still OK, but wondering if the Diakin warranty is for 3 years for mine as well?
  3. Have you considered the possiblility that the AC manufacturers havw purposely left a large enough opening to allow the geckos access these costly circuit boards knowing full well that geckos will short out the board and they will get to sell a lot of new circuit boards! I had the same issue with my Samsung double inverter evaporator unit. Cost me 2500 baht for a new PCB from Lazada! Plus my 3 hours labor to install it! I did not block the air flow but I can see that for the PCB on the evaporator unit, the card will only get hot when the Air Con is runing and there is plenty of cool air to reach the PCB in that case. Outside, the PCB is in open air and I think that putting a descrete screen to protect the PCB board with a course mesh would be better than have another Gecko fry the new board. Just make sure that the mesh is corse enough to avoid too much air restriction. If the board fails again do to overheating than just remove the mesh before calling for warranty repair!
  4. The JIB store on Lazada will sell a genuine memory card. I bought one like you did a few years ago and I returned it because it was a proven fake card. I got my money back and ordered the authentic card from JIB through Lazada and the memory card is still in use and working perfect.
  5. I have a 2010 Ford Ranger open cab and when I bought it, there were no seatbelts in the back but I noticed the platic cut outs where they needed to be mounted. I tried to get the dealer to fit seat belts in the back and they refused but I did get them to order the seat belts and I fitted them myself about a month after I bought the new truck. It was a difficult job but had to be done since I had a baby car seat that had to go in the back seat. The middle seat belt in the back had to come from an after market brand and has no shoulder straps like the ones on the sides. This middle seat belt was perfect for the baby seat so my Ford could manage 4 passengers and the baby who is now 15 years old!
  6. Do you know if that is $30 US and is that the price for a US passport? I found it written that the price is $30 to $45 depending on nationality.
  7. I am planning a quick visa run to Mukdahan and I will be in Laos overnight. I would like to take my dog with me in the truck. Does anyone know what the procedure is to cross into Laos with a dog? Also what will I need to return to my home in Thailand?
  8. Can I apply for an e-visa to enter Laos from Thailand? I am a US citizen and I will only be in Laos for one night.
  9. I called them and they are fully booked today.
  10. We are passing through Bangkok from Phuket to Loei so we do not have a base in Bangkok to give location.
  11. Woke up with a toothache! Where can I find a good dentist for a reasonable price in Bangkok today?
  12. I arrived in Thailand on June 27. My 30 day visa exempt stamp will expire on July 26. I am in Phuket and rented a bungalow in Rawaii for one week ending on July 21. I want to go to immigration in Phuket on Monday July 18. I do not have a plane ticket out of the country. I do have my TM6 in my passport. The manager of this bungalow never asked me for my US passport and seems to be unfamiliar with the TM30 process. What can I do to get this TM30? I have to drive my pick up truck to Bangkok on July 21 to meet my Thai wife who is flying from Loei to meet me in Bangkok on July 23. We will be staying at her sisters vacant house in Bangkok while she is living in Sweden. We will put our 15 year old daughter on a plane to Paris where she is attending school on July 26. This is going to be on the day my visa exempt stamp will expire. I plan to drive to Mukdahan and cross over to Laos to apply for a new multi entry marriage visa Non immigrant O but the timing is not good because of my daughter's flight to Paris. As soon as she boards her flight on the morning of July 26, I could drive all day to Mukdahan and that is a 9 hour drive from the Bangkok Airport. If I cannot get a 30 day extension from Phuket, I will drive with my wife to Mukdahan but I think I will not be able to cross the border until the morning on July 27. This will get me a one day overstay. Please advise if this can be an option for me to have a one day overstay in my passport. Our daughter is 15 and therefor flying to Paris alone as a minor. This means the parents are obliged to stay at the airport until the plane takes off at 11am if the plane is not late.
  13. I am back home now in Chiang Khan since yesterday with a 30 day visa exempt stamp in my US passport. No one requested an outbound plane ticket from Thailand. However I was ready to buy a ticket with the website link you sent me just in case. The only issue was that the immigration officer at the airport in Bangkok wanted to see my boarding pass from Air France. My wife and daughter passed through the Thailand Pass traffic jam since they are Thai and went straight to the baggage claim with my boarding pass. But since I put my flight number on the TM6 landing card, he let me in with a warning. My question is "Do I have to go to Loei immigration today and report my presence within 24 hours?"
  14. My flight to Thailand is fixed to arrive in Bangkok on June 27. Do I have to buy 3 days of covid insurance?
  15. Can you tell me which country to have the onward ticket out of Thailand for $14? It looks like Savananhkept is the best option from the latest visa run report. Looks like things haven't changed in the last 5 years! If I have a multi entry non O marriage visa can I now cross over to Laos at the Tha Li crossing in Loei Province every 90 days and come right back to get another 90 days?
  16. What about the plane ticket issue with the Thailand Pass. I a am flying back to Bangkok on June 27 and I don't see how I can get my TP without a ticket out of Thailand.
  17. Now that covid entry restrictions are going away, what is the best and cheapest way to get a Non O marriage visa in SE Asia from a Thai consulate as close, cheaply and easily as possible from Phuket or Bangkok? Looking at plane ticket prices, the cheapest price now seems to be from Phuket to Singapore at the moment but I am not sure the Thai consulate will be so easy to deal with in Singapore. I think it will take 3 days minimum to get this visa and Singapore will be very expensive for accommodation. I did a visa run to Phnom Penh from Bangkok in February this year with my Thai wife flying round trip from Bangkok and had no problem with the Thai consulate but I don't want to go back there again if there is another nice place to see like Vietnam. I would really prefer to go to Vientiane, Laos with my truck since I live in Chiang Khan but I am flying from Paris to Bangkok in 10 days and I am afraid I will need a ticket out of Thailand in order to get the Thailand Pass since my Non O Marriage Visa has expired. If anyone knows a simple and easy solution to be able to fly from Paris to Bangkok without having to have plane ticket out of the country, I would really prefer the land crossing at Nong Khai and a taxi to the consulate in Vientaine to get the 90 day Non O visa hopefully multi entry because the Thai consulate in Cambodia would only give me a single entry Non O marriage visa back in February. I used to drive to Mukdahan and take a taxi to Savanakeht and get a multi-entry Non O marriage visa easy without having to show any financials. But the last time I did this was 2016 and I am not sure if things have changed. Here in Paris, it seems to be impossible to get a non O marriage visa in my US passport and my local immigration office in Loei Province told me they will not give me an extension on a Non O marriage visa issued in my French passport. Besides the Thai consulate in Paris require permanent residence in France and 6000 euros in a French bank before they will give me a single entry marriage Non O marriage visa in my French passport. I am trying to avoid having to fly back to the states to get my marriage visa but it may be that I no longer have a choice.
