Just applied for my new UK passport in Bangkok, (at The Trendy Building). All went smoothly, except I did not have proof of my address in Bangkok, which I could not and still cannot find in the supporting documentary requirements. Problem solved by having a photo of a recent bank statement sent over via LINE, and printed at an adjacent office on 8/F. So...take proof of address.

Have you received your new passport yet?

Saraburi. Moving here was the best thing I ever did after over a decade living in Pattaya, Rayong and Chiang Mai. 
 

Just an hours drive to BKK and they are currently building that new high speed railway from BKK to China which passes through Saraburi. 
 

Very quiet, no traffic jams, no double pricing and no flooding. 

Put the battery in your carry on bag and the device in your checked luggage. If caught say you bought it on Pattaya Beach Road, plenty of vendors selling them there. 
 

Also, if you need another or some juice theres lots of sites in Thailand selling everything. Many are on Instagram too selling everything you need.
 

But yes, they are illegal here. However I see locals openly vaping in the streets so who knows what the deal is with it. ????‍♂️

I used my Kasikorn for my refund and was in my account in 4 days after requesting it. Minus the 10% charge which I'll not be crying about. 

Arrived a few days ago and Im British with a visa exempt. They never asked for any proof of funds, only checked I had a TP twice. 
 

They should be more concerned about touching everyones phone that enters. Who knows how many people had Covid that entered before me and all the phones that were touched by the TP person and immigration officer. ????

Still no contactless payment available and everyone still using cash and spreading the virus. 

Bluetooth Mic adaptor - Receiver

Receiver / Amp adaptor - Speaker

Something like this may work.

Otherwise try bluetooth mic to receiver / amp and cables to speakers.

You request and pay upfront with Bangkok Pattaya hospital via Line Shopping.

How the hell do they expect people to get Bank statements when in a foreign country? 

Download them from internet banking. Not that difficult really. My Kasikorn sends me a monthly statement straight to my inbox every 1st of the month.

but she fell due to someone else’s negligence.

In any other normal Country thats called manslaughter. 

Has TP started to allow PDF's to be uploaded as it was at one time only JPEG's? If so use pdf2go and upload all your insurance docs to create 1 PDF and upload that to TP. If not and you need JPEG's then screenshot all the docs you need then insert them into an excel sheet and screenshot all of them together. 

The penny has finally dropped. ????????????

Excellent news, if confirmed and real enough. I was not expecting May, i am still not.

 

But the main issue is about medical incarceration (for money rip-off).

"and a shortening of the quarantine period for infected visitors with mild symptoms"

Not good enough. The rule for Thais is "no hospitalization", it has to be the same for foreigners. Right now it's a total medical non-sense, so definitely a gross rip-off.

The more they wait to withdraw this rip-off, the more people will find it unacceptable, damaging Thailand image and business.

 

So what's left if this news is confirmed ?

- Vaccine ok (i mean still like most other countries)

- Insurrance... ok.

- Thai Pass is just hurting tourism.

- Test on arrival is still pretty bad, if connected to forced hospitalization with no symptoms.

 

They could make it simple ASAP, omicron is everywhere in the country already, business need to restart now (many other countries have understand this). 

And btw they could get rid of masks, restrictions on businesses, etc.

Get a Thai Covid insurance like Pantip. They'll soon get sick of claiming off themselves.

Don't wear gold. 
Don't <deleted> off the locals. 
Pay your bills. 
 

Enjoy yourself. 
 

Not that difficult really.  

All my cards get sent from the UK with UK post and with a tracking number. 
 

They are also sent in an RF safe case / wallet. 

Yeah probably true, but when people find out about all the red tape to try and come here they change their mind. 
 

Whats the statistics of searched and booked? 
 

500 searches and 2 bookings probably. 

No, but the death penalty will. 
 

Why is the death penalty implemented for drug dealers but not sex offenders?
 

Totally backwards.  

I was having a similar issue where it would not let me add a new International Credit Card but worked it out.

1. Add an item to your basket.

2, Go to checkout to pay.

3. Add / Choose a payment method. 

4. Here you will get an option to add a new credit / debit card.

5. Add your cards information. 

Worked for me. 

Anyone have any agent contacts for this please?

That kitchen is old and outdated. My Apartment in Pattaya 15 years ago had a more modern kitchen than that. 
 

Go to Boontavorn and order a new one fitted. 
 

Why is that so difficult? 

How about employing competent people to prevent a spill? ????

These are a pain in the ass for leaking. 
 

We found that it was a calcium build up causing the seals in the gun not to seat correctly. Solution is a water filter and softener. We have a large water media filter and i throw half a cup of dish washer softener in the tank in the garden every few weeks. Keeps taps from clogging up too. 

On my last TP I used my Thai address as thats my only permanent address and it was approved.
