I've ordered a lot from Lazada and I think it is the person doing the actual delivery that makes the call to confirm if I am home. They don't always call though.

Correct, the courier is who calls.

Ours only calls if its an expensive item, to request I have the money ready. Most of the time he just shows up unannounced. 

If you stick to ordering items by COD only, the courier will go to every length to deliver it.

Has anything recently changed?

No

Don't forget to get your photos done before you go, just one less thing you have to worry about when you're there. 

Send the owner a bill for your wheel alignment

edit: just reread you were on a bike.

Incidentally, none of the locals here stop if they skittle a dog, you've done more than enough. 

Well I finished Far Cry 5 but the ending left me a bit disappointed..like what did I just do all that for?

Besides the wonky ending I got bored about 3/4 of the way through once I'd mastered the game mechanics and nothing really posed a challenge. However it's an entertaining fps and the chaotic combat is good fun.  I have no desire to replay it right now though.

There are so many great games I haven't played however I just ordered Bloodborne

Up to you.

Should you have one? Yes

Do you need one? No

Teachers Day is on the 16th, a lot of the teachers dress up for it, might be something to do with that? 

Just got back yesterday from doing the same thing. Don't stress mate, it's a very easy process and Laos is a really relaxing place to spend a couple of days.

The tuk tuk drivers will hassle you when you get through Laos immigration lol

Eh..I got a visit a couple of months back. Whilst I don't like the idea, the guys who showed up were pretty cool about it. Especially since I hadn't updated my address...whoops..

They said they'd had orders from the top to go around and check on every foreigners address. This was a few weeks before the media started reporting about the current crackdown.

My dog started going off his nut at the police which they had a chuckle about and made a comment about what a good guard dog he was.

You will get a new 90 day entry. 

If you did it on the 26th you would be stamped in until the 23rd of January. You could apply for a 60 day extension of that 90 days to visit your wife which would mean you would not need to get a new visa until March.

Thanks Joe, really appreciate your knowledge and advice.

I asked this in another topic but I didn't get a reply so apologies for repeating myself.

I'm on a Non-O visa that expires 8th November.

However my current visa stamp from my last border hop gives me admittance until 26th Oct.

If I do another border hop will they give me 3 months or will I have to renew my Non-O visa in early Nov regardless? I'm just trying to plan the best course of action..

I'm going to ask a question here rather than start a new thread.

I have to renew my Non-O visa in early November. However I'm scheduled to do the border hop in late October.

If I do the border crossing will that give me an additional 3 months and I can renew my Non-O visa in January instead? Or will I have to renew it in November regardless?

Far Cry 5 (finally). It's not bad but I expected more from it.

Interesting..I'm also on a multi O and usually go across a border and back on the same day. Last time the Cambodian I/O got me to change my visa form to say I was staying a week at the hotel that was next door - I was wondering what it was about.

Cover your car.

 

If is not the geckos it will be birds next.

 

The house we are in now is like swarming with different birds.  Don't know the reason why they like our house, but there are hundreds of sparrows, dozens of mynah birds and doves too.  They love to sit on the car and look at themselves in the mirrors, pooping all over the car, motorbikes, bicycles, windows, and throwing rubbish and sticks about all over the patio.  I 

 

I had the same problem so I bought a couple of small mirrors from the market and put them up outside where the birds could perch and admire themselves as much as they wanted. They leave my car mirrors alone now.

OP am I right in assuming you didn't use a bitcoin exchange? If you did, can you tell us which one you used please?

How did you sell the bitcoins online? And how did you transfer them to this persons wallet?

I'm trying to understand your situation and how to help you

God this is my biggest annoyance too because I work at home as well.

I don't know if these work, you can buy them on amazon: https://www.celestialtribe.com/

It's apparently a noise cancelling device that attaches to your wall. I can't imagine it would be too effective, it just came up on youtube as I was reading about your problem and thought I'd mention it.
