I use the following set up for watching soccer on my TV from the True app on my phone Plug my Apple TV into my TV with a 1 meter HDMI cable (could be shorter depending on where the HDMI ports are on your TV) Change my iPhone settings so that the display never locks (switch this back after you’ve finished to secure you phone and save battery when you are out and about), then plug my iPhone into its charger to keep the battery topped up. Finally use AirPlay on my phone so that the display is mirrored on my tv via the Apple TV Any solution you have will be limited by your internet connection and the WiFi signal in your home. If you have good internet but poor WiFi then you’ll need a laptop or pc that you can attach to your router via an Ethernet cable If you have poor internet but a good mobile phone signal then you could consider getting an internet router that runs off a SIM card. You’d then need to get a SIM card with a data only plan

Here’s a controversial option - what about one of the new Mac minis? Starts at 20,900 thb or grab an Apple TV and a Bluetooth keyboard and AirPlay your iPhone to you tv

Thank you

Hi, my extension based on marriage is due to expire on 31/10/2024. Normally when I do my extension based on marriage I am given an “Under Consideration” stamp that says to return on 29th or 30th of November. Could I get a re-entry permit whilst under consideration and leave the country on 14/11/2024 and return on 21/11/2024? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info folks for some reason the word Retirement escaped me earlier this morning and I could only come up with Pension as a replacement 😉

I’m thinking of switching my extension from being based on marriage to being based on pension but I’m not sure if I’ve left it too late for this year. My current extension runs until 31/10/2024 but I’d like to do the extension on 15/10/2024 just in case there are any issues. If I increase the money in my savings account to 800,000 before 15/07/2024 will that be in time? Thanks in advance

Also worth checking Renegade Sports Bar - they have all the big sports events and a good selection of beers 🙂

Just looked at the online booking service for Division 5 For some reason Chiang Mai only offer bookings for 4 types of extensions and Thai Family is not available All the other offices I checked, Chiang Rai, Mae Sai, Lampang, Lang Phun, Mae Hon Song, Pai, all had many more types of extensions available for booking

The DTV visa seems a bit pointless unless I’m misunderstanding it. It reads to me as though you can have one stay of up to 180 days in a 5 year period, and you can extend that stay once up to an additional 180 days. As the visa lasts for 5 years it would appear that once you’ve used up your 360 days then you have to wait until the visa expires before you can get a new one, meaning if you used the visa in the first year you would have to wait 4 years before you could get a new one

I remember when long time with Eve only cost an apple 😉

The only two categories I can recall seeing on the wall there were Student and Teacher

At Central Festival Immigration they do - the girls at the entrance desk took a photocopy of my 90 day report and did not charge me for it. It seemed that the Chinese lady in front of me who was doing re-entries for her and her 2 daughters was charged as she was missing a few photocopies It also looks like there is a “private” photocopy service available further into the mall but close to immigration

I was there before 09:00 this morning so I don’t know what happens later in the day but here’s my experience about 08:45 a group of girls come out and pre-checked everyone’s docs if your docs were ok you got a separate number (plastic card) for either re-entry or extension and joined a new queue. If your docs were not ok (ie form not filled in) you had to step out of the queue to fill it in and wait to get your number. when the doors opened you went to a waiting area behind the entrance desk, but before the waiting area for the processing desks When your number is called you go to the entrance desk where they re-check your docs and make sure you have the money to pay. You are then given a new number (paper) and move to the processing desk waiting area and wait for your new number to be called
