  1. I would not take such important advice from a bunch of strangers over the internet, even though some have a lot of experience and a great batting record when I can easily contact the Immigration office or Consulate that will process the application.  That saves a lot of worry and doubt provided that the advice from Immigration or the Consulate makes sense...

  2. You can always buy a new phone and SIM card, install the application on your new phone and then leave it home or at your hotel when you go out.  

     

    By the way, whether the information is used or not, most of us with cell phones are being tracked by the phone companies. There have been stores in the news that mentioned that the sought person was located by looking where his cellphone had been.

  3. From https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/visa-overstay-thailand

    (I do not know who publishes this site, but the information is consistent with what Immigration has said in the past.)

    If you are caught in Thailand as an overstaying foreigner you will be detained and face punishment. However, if you leave Thailand as an overstaying foreigner without being caught you will only face a fine and possible ban from re-entering Thailand, depending on the length of your overstay, when exiting through immigration control at the airport or land border, and will not face any imprisonment or detainment.

    As you can face detainment and imprisonment even when overstaying by just one day, it is important to avoid getting caught or being questioned by police, and resolving your overstay issues as soon as possible. On occasions, immigration police will do random checks on foreign nationals on entertainment centers, on the street and some checkpoints.

  4. A large gathering making a lot of noise? The police might be interested in shutting it down.

     

    Living across from the new train station in Bangkok, where over a hundred tuk-tuks would wake us up around 06:00 we didn't get much sleep because the bars in front of our building. Complaining to the police, they told us to call them if it was too loud after 02:00 (AM). It worked many times as we were able get over 3 hours of sleep each night!

  5. See and ear specialist you might need your ears cleaned. I had parked my bike for two months because I didn't feel safe on it, especially when turning. Had my ears cleaned last week and the problem that had plagued me for months is gone and I can ride the bike again. The whole thing only cost me 580 baht at a local private hospital -you price may vary, but basically it is not. a complex procedure.
