  1. ...and potentially 17 months (1 year plus 90 days last exit before expiry, followed by a 60 days extension to visit wife).
  2. You can order these from Medisafe Pharmacy in Bangkok, and they will arrange delivery (to most locations in Thailand). For the Atorvastatin, they sell a generic (imported from India) that is much cheaper than Lipitor/Sandoz. Unsure about the Metoprolol, best you send them a message. They usually reply within an hour and arrange prompt delivery (for Bangkok it's next day, for your location probably 2-3 days). https://medisafepharma.com/
  3. I've always found the Bangkok Air call centre to be responsive and helpful. Contact them to explain on "Call Center at +66 (2) 270 6699 every day during 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. (BKK local time)"
  4. "Wash Me Now" in Sukhumvit Soi 39 in Taka Town near Saen Saeb canal / Petchaburi Rd. (Note that they're temporarily closed until 7 Nov for renovations).
  5. I was in HCMC last week and received a new Non O (Marriage) Multi Entry 12 month visa whilst there. The cost was $200, and I dropped my application/passport in at the Consulate at 9:30am and received the new visa in my passport at 1:30pm the next day. Note that I had made an online appointment for the application 3 weeks earlier. The online appointment system is a great improvement resulting in a very short/fast queue, in stark contrast to the Consulate in Phnom Penh where chaos reigns. (Applicants in HCMC without an appointment are rejected). For documentation, I followed the list in the Consulate website:- https://hochiminh.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/non-immigrant-o-accompanying-thai-spouse-and-family-members?page=5d80ab3315e39c2fe800a791&menu=5d80ab3215e39c2fe800a722&fbclid=IwAR0zXH8aY2-AIXjrc3Og-owBN5pf3zQZ_v51lCqm95zvtlpvPOBFw5Dsb6w
  6. I've often used the DHL offices in Interchange21 in Asoke (un the arcade) , and in Emquartier (adjacent to the cinema) and they've always been staffed who incidentally generally seem to be efficient in sorting out my parcels. In addition to giving them the address, and paying the money you will also be required to show ID (passport, pink card or Thai DL), after which you can then leave.
  7. She can by from a plate number dealer, e.g. chokdeetabien https://chokdeetabien.com/ Alternatively, via DLT website: https://www.tabienrod.com/
  8. You can renew up to 12 months late. So if your DL expired pre-Sept 2021 (i.e., more than 12 months), then you will need to start from scratch again.
  9. I had to take a taxi from Phrom Phong to Chaengwattana earlier this month. Grab quoted 533 baht on the app, so instead we flagged down a meter taxi and it cost only 245 baht. So yes my experience in that case was that Grab costs twice as much.
  10. I was in Siem Reap a couple of weeks ago, and most of the restaurant/bars in Pub Street appeared to be open and the area was quite lively (on a Saturday evening). The Hard Rock Cafe on the other side of the river appears to be closed indefinitely. There seems to be far more tuk tuk drivers than tourists at present though.
  11. Additionally, the demographics in Thailand whereby the proportion of females far exceeds that of males is an added bonus.
