  1. Pretty standard really. 1st step you need to make an appointment at the foreigner's counter. Foreigners need to go in person to Chatuchak and make in person appointment with a passport and a residence certificate from immigration or embassy. Appointment time and date depends on what slots are available when you go there. Needed at the appointment date. Residence certificate, health certificate, 2-year driving license, passport. Best time??? Any between DLT working hours at the foreigner's counter. After making the appointment you can make the online eLearning. It is just watching a video for one hour and answering a few questions, at the end of the video you save the online video form onto your phone and show it to the DLT officer on the day of the appointment. Application form: you get this at the reception desk when you attend your appointment and then fill it out. On the appointment time and date you do the physical reaction tests, after passing, and then you go have your photo taken and they issue the 5 year license.
  2. Was in BIG C yesterday, a pack of 4 Gillette twin blade cartridges now 155 baht. They used to be near 100 baht a few months ago. They mention 6 weeks shave on the packaging, but I have never been able to achieve that, much closer to 2 or 3 weeks.
  3. The normal bluetooth usb dongle which needs a driver will not work. But I think this bluetooth receiver will work eg. USB Bluetooth Audio Music Wireless Receiver Adapter | Lazada.co.th You plug it into the stereo system usb and then you transmit audio from your PC or android phone BT after connecting to the BT dongle receiver. Depends how your audio equipment is designed, but you may or may not have hum during playback and briefly thump powering on the devices.
  4. First time ever to hear about pickleball. Found there is a pickleball court near asoke bts sukhumvit 16 Pickleball — โรงเรียนภาษาอังกฤษสันติสุข (santisuk.org) Another court at ladprao Pickleball — โรงเรียนภาษาอังกฤษสันติสุข (santisuk.org) Soi 111, near Vejthani Hospital". We are across the street from Ladprao 138.
  5. I always bought the Bic twin blade razors and mostly Gilette twin blade cartridges in the B&M store, never had a problem with those. Tried the own brand razors from lotus, big C watson and boots and had to throw them all away, they were useless for a first shave. Same with mr DIY razor blades can't even manage a proper 1st shave with the twin blades and threw them out.
  6. This is what I have done and feel that I even get a better shave.
  7. Tops, Lotus, Villa, Foodland, Big C all sell these to some degree. Better to just buy there. I guess the price is what attracts one to place an order online and then the product is not up to scratch.
  8. May or may not work but could also try power off and on the TV and/or try another HDMI cable.
  9. Nasa phone shop in MBK which lists most of the phones available and their prices. A few phones are available in your price limit but not so easy to find a decent phone for under 3000 Baht.
  10. Not a big deal and something which should have been in place for all banks from the outset. It is for cash deposits made at the CDM machines. One has to put a bank atm card and pin number to deposit money at those machines now. "From November 15th, people who want to deposit cash via cash deposit machines (CDMs) in Thailand will be required to identify themselves by inserting their credit or debit cards and entering their Personal Identification Number (PIN) or password." At Krungsri from what I remember I always had to insert my card and pin to deposit cash. At Kasikorn it was only insert the card to deposit money.
  11. On Thai Lion Air it's on their website and on the fare rules when the ticket is purchased - 7KG carry on and size of bag is important too. They are strict about this. This is how they make their money charging for all the little extras.
  12. For myself as well. Online reporting was working fine, until the recent one. Made an online report-it was rejected, tried a second time-it was rejected. So back to the old system wasting 3 hours taking taxis and trains to do an in person report at immigration.
  13. It look like a corona virus race. Each new variant is faster and faster. Warp speed approaching, better watch out.
  14. I have obtained them at Bangchak and at Morchit. No appointment, just walked in. 2 Photos and original 5 year Thai driving license, pay 505 baht fee. I guess for a Thai national their ID card and maybe copy of house book would suffice.

  15. If a bank becomes insolvent, a depositor will rank merely as an unsecured creditor Yes one has made a loan to the bank and that debt is owed back to a depositor on demand. But for example, if a bank goes out of business, this means that at the end of the day, technically speaking, the customer (depositor) may or may not get their money back once the bank goes through liquidation.
  16. Not everywhere, I think some countries require a tax return be filed for any passive income earned.
  17. How Bank Deposits Work The deposit itself is a liability owed by the bank to the depositor. Bank deposits refer to this liability rather than to the actual funds that have been deposited. When someone opens a bank account and makes a cash deposit, he surrenders the legal title to the cash, and it becomes an asset of the bank. In turn, the account is a liability to the bank. Wonder what this annual ongoing fee is for a bank card when a fee was paid to issue the card.
  18. It would seem there a very few. Just look at how easy it is for any tourist to come to Thailand and open a bank account by shopping around who can then make deposits and withdrawals with ease. The way they could catch most of the money in bank accounts is to do it through the tax office ie to legislate that anyone earning interest or dividends is required to file a tax return. The tax office could evaluate those tax returns and then do lifestyle audits to determine the legitimacy of those funds.
  19. Noone is asking the bank to use their services. The govt is forcing everyone with any money to deposit it in a financial institution controlled by govt after which the depositor's money in the bank is supposed to be a loan to be used by the bank after which the bank controls that money, and then the bank start their charges on everyone's hard earned money.
  20. Started watching the TV series "Bad Sisters", it is quite good.
  21. Handsfree should also not be allowed. The driver is distracted whilst concentrating on what they are discussing on the phone.
  22. Austin Powers (tent shadow scene)
  23. Only the powers that be looking after everyone. 2AM all good people should be in bed and asleep ready for rise and shine awake in the morning to lead productive lives to the full.
  24. "There's Something About Mary" Zipper Scene
  25. Payment by phone through apps the new scourge of inefficiency and blocking the checkout counters. For example yesterday was in a supermarket, picked up a cornetto and went to the till to pay, first till had a woman struggling with the teller to pay and they seemed to be deeply perusing the phone. After a little waiting went to the second teller and the same situation. A third teller opened up but I was beaten to the checkout by another young lady paying by phone. I gave up and put the ice cream back in the fridge and upon departing the supermarket at all three tellers the women were still struggling to pay through their phones.
