I never have issues - I have done mine at two different offices, I think I’m at 8-9 of them now, I lost track. Sometimes you can get ahead of yourself (one year I got my financial letter the day before which you would think would be fine as I had an appointment - during Covid - for a 9:00 am, that caused issues) but generally nothing changes, I have a checklist on my computer, all the documents scanned and on in a folder - the procedure is go to immigration get the forms, take photos (always the same, 2 off - in front of the gate Inc house number, next to front door, kitchen and on sofa) complete the forms and print documents, go to the photo shop, drop off the file, continue to ampur to get KR2, pickup the photos on the way back. Next day, bank at 8:00 then on to immigration, usually home before 11:00. The best thing about KKC immigration is, they don’t ask any silly questions - it’s just a formality in which I sit in silence and sign the forms as directed. At Hat Yai they asked questions about meeting wife, financial position, etc .. and they made notes and tried to catch you out the following year. -
Its pointless worrying about warrantee work then - you can go to Amorn and they will fit a new battery for you.

Thailand’s first F1 race planned for Bangkok’s Chatuchak by 2027
recom273 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yeah, I think you are right - mine was just a guess, I remember the story now. I have no interest in F1 at all, but I have been reading these posts for years on various places and I was interested by the story of Prince Bira and the continued saga of the proposal. Its nothing but a money grab now. -
Synex are the agents for zircon - if its within a year, just drop it into the local branch of Synnex - they were really good when mine didnt have any power.

Thailand’s first F1 race planned for Bangkok’s Chatuchak by 2027
recom273 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Its been touted for many years .. Birabongse Bhanudej designed a street race around rattotaksin island in the 50s. The route that others are posted is banned - there was a law passed in 2013 banning any such streetrace around the historic sites of Bangkok. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/formula-one-stalls-bangkok-law-bans-car-racing-102346416.html I dont know why its suggested, it seems that Phua Thai PM's are keen to push the idea but are unaware of the laws - this may be one reasons for the chattujack proposal. Its an interesting subject with a long history, there should be a wiki page that can be referred and added too every time some politician comes up with the latest idea. Bottom line is, how much cash would it really generate and how much needs to be laid out and wether or not that should be spent on more important infrastructure projects - I also suspect its one big excuse for a lot of people to fill their pockets. -
I think that kind of proves a point. I read an article the other day, the rise of the populist right coupled with the widespread use of social media has resulted in a huge rise in stupid people getting involved in politics for the first time, the effect on the landscape, posting their opinion where traditionally they were out of their depth and kept their opinion to the works tea room. How can you be so illinformed to get hajj and jihad confused?

I'm sure it will filter down, looks a bit different, there doesn't seem to be too many Scandinavian action series about. Try to google this Conflict.S01E01.1080p.WEB.h264-XME

Heads up. Tehran has only been broadcast on Israeli KAN and the files kicking about only have Hebrew hardcoded subs .. the Apple TV release has yet to be announced - I was unaware it was an Israeli production. Konflicti looks interesting, there only seems to be one episode (01) with English subtitles, the scene group mentioned in the filename is XME, the NetITV files only have Finnish subs.

but its really sad, isnt it? It's like holding doors open for people. It's that brief moment where someone does something so small but can mean a lot.

I haven't done this in years, I think since I had experiences like yours. Giving the people the "odd" thinking you are helping isnt really part of the culture here.

Maybe .. maybe the whole dynamic shifts, maybe it's not the UK that we know it, who knows? whatever happens has happened before, no path is really set in stone. If things had of continued, we could have all been living our lives under Cromwells Puritanical law. I have read a couple of articles suggesting the downfall of christian nations, it's quite a biased opinion. However, Maybe in the future being a muslim nation may not be seen as such as an issue, maybe right wing politics will not exist any longer, people will not identify by their religion, they will accept people are people.I don't know or particularly care tbh.

The BBC story is laughable, this is the kind of junk that Farage repeats and his followers accept without question, and repeat - yes, statistically Mohammed may well be the most popular name in the UK - it could be that the country is being over run with muslims, which isnt quite true but it also demonstrates UK residents chose their names from a wider and more diverse pool, whereas the 31% of non-UK mothers who may be muslims still chose to name their babies after the most important person in their religion. I think if you conducted this survey over the muslim world you would find a much higher percentage. In my own class register, most kids in my classes that I teach have either Mohammed or a condensed or derived form as either their first or second name. Laughable really, just the kind of crap Tommy ten names would cite as empirical fact that the UK is being over run by muslims.

Reliable website for YouTube MP4/MP3 downloads
recom273 replied to simon43's topic in IT and Computers
Not websites, tbh, there is only one reason a free site like this exists, to mine your data. You could try these, they are apps that you can use on your machine. Tubedigger - https://www.tubedigger.com/download.html or YT-DLP which is command line https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://ytdlp.online these will also cap BBC player downloads which you can access via a VPN. The YT-DLP is probably the actual code that a lot of the websites you have been looking at use, they just put a paywall and GUI around it. If you are using a Mac - an app called Downie. -
K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
recom273 replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I have a friend who lives a nice existence on the coast in Bang Saphan, he is not aware of Aseannow, doesn’t belong to any expat facebook groups, he does as I do, when he sees a Thai expat blogger on YouTube - clicks “not interested - don’t suggest me more content like this” - he doesn’t use internet banking, he’s still young but doesn’t own a smartphone, pays cash for everything which he draws from the ATM. He didn’t receive an email from kasikorn. Are they really going to drop everyone who doesn’t respond by the 20th. I have worked in Thailand for 15 years, sometimes authorities just want a number or a photocopied piece of paper to file away - how long will it take for them to find a random number, just to stop them closing your account? Idk .. just asking. -
On show i really liked, Tehran was scheduled to appear for a third season the other day, but I didn’t see it posted online anywhere, but I didn’t look so hard. There are some good returning series in the new year, Fargo is back, Yellowjackets, Rocco Schiavone, Surface .. Wisting has a presumably xmas themed mini series coming before the end of the year.

Maybe you are referring to me - idk what I paid for, I paid for it to be delivered - even aliexpress delivers within 10 days or less now with no fuss or extra charge. I last ordered from Amazon pre-Covid, so forgive me for not knowing the procedure. I just followed the order procedure, last time I ordered the same component it came via USPS.

Was just about to say, favourite Clint movie - Play misty. When it comes to westerns, not Clint Eastwood - The Great Silence - I love it, might watch it this afternoon, one of the few of it’s time set in the winter.

recom273 replied to Mutt Daeng's topic in Western Food in Thailand
The wife makes her own, they are a thousand times (agreed, they are good already) better when they are still hot from the pan. Can you still buy pork scratchings in the UK? I was telling one of my students about eating brawn sandwich as a kid, I think it was when things were tight. I don’t think you can buy jellied pig brain any longer. -
Replacement Chanote Marker
recom273 replied to recom273's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
lol - we just finished building the house!! It’s fine, we each have about 1/3-3/4 Rai each - I can ignore him, but the fun thing is .. he can’t seem to let things drop. However, apparently he can’t ignore my surround sound system and for some reason his wifi network keeps on deauthenticating all the devices in his home 🤫 -

@KhunLA exactly, because he says it’s illegal. He’s confused, it’s illegal to move a post. I think this is the best idea, he is a bully, he is a money lender, and he just gets what he wants by bullying the headman or tessaban. We both know where our land starts and finishes, we built walls - lol @BritManToo because he’s accusing my guys (whoever has worked on the house over the duration of the build) of breaking it. Last week he was moaning about mud on his drive - he said he picked it up when passing my driveway. Fact that he also drove to the city and back every day to collect money is beyond him. Next he will be accusing me of making it rain or something. He’s a strange one.
