  1. Yep, like Lewie London, a.k.a. Bob?...and their longwinded posts.
  2. I thought you had first got PR in 2001, so did you somehow lose it and then had to re-apply back in 2021?
  3. Correct, I opened a Binance TH account a couple of months ago and was quite surprised by the Customer Suitability requirements in their KYC procedures, which included needing to score 10/10 on a specific test, and provide copies of bank statements, other crypto exchange wallets, and stock market broker account summaries.
  4. Use the physical address of the Surin branch where your account is domiciled. The SWIFT Code for Bangkok Bank (as an example) is BKKBTHBKXXX. (this is their head office SWIFT code, BBL doesn't allocate separate and distinct SWIFT codes to its other branches). Your Surin Branch Code should be available in the first page of your bank book (upper left side with both BBL and BAY) and is also the first 3 digits of your account number.
  5. Bloody Sphincter....then try using a lubricant next time.
  6. The OP posted this in the Chiang Mai sub-forum, whereas he's more likely to get a response from Sheryl if it were posted in the Health & Medicine sub-forum where she is most active.
  7. Seems to have been an unwarranted over-reaction by the Thai Gov't since Moody's affirmed the existing investment grade rating for Thailand, which the government should be content with. It was just the "outlook" (and not the rating) that was changed to negative, which should not be unexpected given the global economic context. https://ratings.moodys.com/ratings-news/441991
  8. ...and so the curse of Rama 2 Rd, a.k.a. Death Highway, continues.
  9. I agree with this recommendation. I got some blood tests done there last year. They emailed the results (performed by BKK Hospital) to me together with a brief covering email from the WeelMed doctor a day later (no face-to-face consultation with the doc on that occasion).
  10. For most of the 2024 F1 season I was able to watch the practice sessions and the race live on True Visions ch 607 (Bein Sports). However, this season True Visions don't seem to be showing it and ch 607 is currently blank. Thankfully, Bein Sports are offering the 129 baht deal again in 2025 as my plan B, although the annual subscription seems like good value.
  11. I concur. Similarly I don't fully understand why Australians often refer to themselves as "proud Ozzies", or why folks from Birmingham often refer to themselves as "proud Brummies" .
  12. but still no news regarding the streamlining of Non-O's mentioned last year by ex-PM Srettha
  13. Adjacent to the current embassy the One Bangkok office towers, mall etc officially opened a couple of months ago, so this should solve the issue of where to park the car if driving to the embassy.
  14. Even exempted from incurring the obligatory 10% dividend withholding tax taken at source by the investee-company?
  15. Thanks, it seems they are presently blocking / preventing online appointments for marriage extensions. So I think I'll take up your recommendation and dedicate the afternoon for submitting the application rather than doing early mornings as I had done in the past.
  16. Indeed, I checked other types of service on the booking system as well (which indicated that there was availability for those other services), so it seems that they are not allowing booking appointments for annual marriage extensions at the moment. Perhaps it's another ploy to shift more people onto the less laborious retirement extensions instead or to use agents. I was wondering whether I could physically visit CW in person to make an advanced booking appointment a month in advance, or whether it can only be done using the online system?
  17. I've been checking the online appointment booking page regularly this month in order to lock-in an appointment for my marriage extension renewal at CW next month. However, each time I login the system says that the next 30 days is full (specifically for marriage family annual extension, as lots were still available for retirement annual extensions). I was wondering whether any members have had any luck securing an appointment recently for CW annual marriage extension? Any recommendations on alternative methods for booking an appointment? I'm suspicious that visa agents are somehow monopolizing the appointment slots.
  18. Yes, the rally commences in HCMC then passing through Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia, and then finishing in Singapore.
  19. Although I prefer Asian bikini girls, despite my reporting to Google Ads, I keep getting this farang woman appearing in my ArseanNow feed. Myself and my passport-bro's have no inclination to ogle such farang women.
  20. and Krungsri / Bank of Ayudhya....Japanese bank? and it's designated as one of the 5 systemically important banks (SIB) by the Bank of Thailand....Bank of Thailand would only apply this to Thai banks, e.g., Krungsri which is a Thailand bank although their largest shareholder is a Japanese bank. They are not regarded as a Japanese bank...similarly UOB (which evolved from Radanasin Bank more than 20 years ago) is a Thai bank with a large Singaporean shareholder.
