Put a piece of non-see through white tape over the bright dot and keep enjoying reading on your 5th gen. Kindle.

I just got a residence certificate 2 weeks ago so I could renew my Thai driving license. Longwood50 gave you the right information. Other forms of proof of residence accepted by immigration are an electric, water, cable TV, or internet bill, or a rental agreement in your name.

If you live South of Pattaya Thai (South Pattaya Rd) then the Facino located on that road across the street from Wat Chai Mongcron is the easiest to get to. Google map "facino pattaya" to see all the locations. Their prices may or may not be lower than elsewhere. You can get a membership card from Facino that will give you a small discount on listed prices.

You can buy an Oppo A57 on Lazada for 1,497 Bt or an Oppo A83 for 1,589 Bt. You should be able to find similar prices at Tuk Com or at the phone shops in the malls like Bic C Extra, Pattaya Klang and 3rd Rd or on Sukhumvit., or at a Lotus's on Pattaya Nua or on Sukhumvit. Those stores also have their own phone shops so you can compare prices. If you don't want to buy a new phone I'll second the advice to go to Tuk Com to buy a second hand phone. Be ready to spend about 2000 Bt on one from Oppo, Asus, Xiaomi, Samsung, One Plus, Sony, or Lenovo. Ask for a 1 year replacement guarantee, which you won't get, but if they give you at 6 month guarantee then buy. Notice these are all Android phones. If you want an iPhone, which are way overpriced in my opinion, you are on your own.
