  1. As others have said you are not on overstay whilst under consideration - I just went through the same thing, you're fine. Assuming you entered on a non imm B and your company will be providing a work permit? In such a case I have never ever heard of an IO visiting your place of work. I have been here 28 years with work permits (until recently when I switched to a Non O as I am not currently working) and it is has never ever happened. However I have never had an "under consideration" for a non B extension. When working I would enter on a 90 day non B and then before the expiry the company would lodge the work permit application and I would get my WP and 12 month extension at the same time before the end of the 90 days. I always worked for BOI companies though so don't know if this is different. Anyway, you should be fine, don't worry.
  2. Such a shame. I used to have so much admiration for him as he is/was a genuine visionary. He basically pioneered electric motoring for the mass market, released all his patents so everyone could use them - his outlook being that he wants the motoring world to be electric and if you can do it better than Tesla you are welcome and competition is good. (Probably regrets that now with the rise of BYD). But I admire that tremendously. He built Space X on his dream/vision to cut down on waste, cost, make rockets reusable and therefore make space travel more affordable - everyone thought it was impossible but he did it, and seeing those rockets land in parallel, perfectly, on drone ships still gives me tingles, incredible. He wants the human race to be interplanetary and I think he'll eventually achieve it even though I don't share his reasoning. Hyperloop was a great concept/vision but seems to have gone quiet. I like his Boring Company although not sure what problem it is really solving. So I think he is one of the great visionaries of our time. I just wish I had never followed him on Twitter because now all I see is an insecure, racist, right wing loon, albeit a very clever one. And he reposts lies (Yaxley-Lennon type misinformation). I still respect him for his achievements and what he did for the EV world - he is a visionary and a genius - I just don't respect him as a person anymore. Admire his achievements, don't admire him as a person.
  3. Very well done, he's a great speaker, and perfect comedy timing.
  4. And if we're doing boring memes at least this one hasn't been posted before.
  5. Not sure if there is any point replying to this thread as it has descended into chilish nonsense for no reason at all. But I have been to Brasil and absolutely loved it. Iguacu was one the most amazing things I have seen explored all over (Argentinian side too) and did a helicopter tour. Also did Rio and Salvador which has Afro roots. I was there during carnival time so it was a special trip - also coincided with the Rolling Stones million man concert on Copa Cabana beach which was also an experience. All in all I loved the country and the people. I found them very much like the Thais - friendly, funny, and love a good time.
  6. You are not the first bore to post this - seen it several times in this thread. Highly dull.
  7. No. Car is registered in Bangkok, ticket got sent to me in Bangkok, camera and ticket is from Prachuap Kiri Khan.
  8. They don't make their own batteries. They use CATL batteries, also BYD blade batteries (for model Y I think?) and also Panasonic and LG. Pretty sure they don't make their own at all, but they might assemble some components from Panasonic and LG and they become "Tesla batteries". I could be wrong though but that's my understanding. Other people will know more. (Not sure why I answered really, should just wait for someone else who knows more)
  9. I know this is an old thread, but I have - twice. 121kmh in a 120kmh zone, 500 baht. The latest one I received about three weeks ago but hadn't paid yet. Went to renew the road tax today and it popped up on their system so I had to pay the 500 baht along with my road tax. So can confirm it is all linked up now.

  11. As in my post below, I am against tariffs and against Trump. I also won't be affected by anything as I am not American, I can't vote, I don't pay tax there, I don't buy vehicles there. So I am not going to "get" anything.
  12. Ok, that's pretty good. People moan but you spent less than three hours and now don't have to do it again for another year. When you go back in 20 days you'll be in and out in 30 minutes if my experience is reliable. A couple of questions: did they not ask you for a formal bank statement of the last two months? And curious why you do postal 90 days reports instead of doing it online. Not judging, just curious.
  13. I work with many people around this region and I can safely say only Filipinos use Viber. I have to have so many apps. Philippines: Viber Vietnam & Indonesia: Whatsapp Thailand: Line China: Wechat Viber is so outdated now. I changed my phone and like the OP I can't get it to work again. Enter your number for a OTP but it never arrives. I have been through support but they can't get it going again so I have ditched Viber and told my Filipino clients to use Whatsapp. Telegram is actually superb, probably the best overall functionality and I use it a lot. But like others have said what is wrong with Line or Whatsapp? They are perfectly good if you just want to chat and / or do calls. Skype is a dinosaur.
  14. Why? I don't live in China which is where they have been selling them for nearly 20 years so I am not familiar with the models without Googling them. But I know they have sold millions very successfully, that is all I need to know. You can Google just as well as I can.
  15. I did mine at CW last month. I got my queue ticket then went down to Bangkok Bank to get the letter, update the book and make copies (just in case). I did not make any small deposit. When I got to see the IO she also requested a full written statement from the bank of the last two months. This is not listed on the required documents on their website so worth noting: when you get the letter also ask for a written statement showing at least the last two months. Annoyingly I got my statement at 12.02pm so I had to hang around for an hour before I could give it to the IO but at least I didn't have to queue again.
  16. I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 148 seconds  
  17. Looks nice. But you mentioned "Powertrain is powerful"............but it isn't very powerful. I am guessing there must be a twin motor version to come.
  18. You are getting more and more ridiculous by the day. Snowflakes not keen on law and order...
  19. Not the first time this has been posted, and it still hasn't got any funnier.
  20. I see highway police cars literally every single time I drive on the 7.
  21. You really are addled these days, confusing me with someone else, yet again. Once again I have literally no clue what you are on about - you have done this several times now, I am starting to worry about you.
  22. Yes, Kwak made a "joke" (not even a remotely funny one) but transam thought it was real. Dude, get a grip.
