There are lots of (pretty good) DeepFake music videos featuring N.Korean bands.

It’s safer to do nothing. Helping means getting involved, which means possibly getting sued by then victim whom you tried to help (improper treatment of the injury) or the attacker whom you drove off (claiming to be injured by your actions).

Do they still sell those at 7/11 (etc): prepaid international calling cards? That’s what I used way back when. Cheap and easy.

What would you do if someone stole your bag?
CecilM replied to Chris Daley's topic in General Topics
First, notify banks and cancel credit cards. Same goes for post paid cellphone contracts. If documents/cards inside, go to police and file a report. Then go to embassy and declare passport stolen and get a new passport. -
Social Security
CecilM replied to MangoKorat's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
If you have paid sufficient years until the age of 55, then you’ll receive a lump sum payment. (I have a document from social security that shows my yearly contributions and future payout.) AFAIK it’s tax free. -
Lazada Wallet - Is this only available on the Lazada Android App?
CecilM replied to connda's topic in General Topics
Lazada Wallet works on iOS App. -
If people have little else to do, becoming a trolling keyboard warrior is likely.
-
AFAIK, sleeping on the beach is against the law and the police are therefore doing their job.

My experience at Chaengwattana for the past years has been consistent at: 1) no 2) yes

What is the problem with the 90 day online?
CecilM replied to kingstonkid's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Bangkok only. I’ve heard that it’s still reliable and fast in other provinces. Maybe it’s because of the launch of the new tm30 website/portal??? -
Hot water on all taps. Bagles. And I agree with the other poster: for me the bum gun gets a spot in the top 3.
-
I can stay for one year and don’t need to leave… that’s the visa I’m on.
-
Then different people get different advice from immigration officers at Chaengwattana (my question was based on my one-year visa and re-entry permit). And since it’s so easy to do, I won’t risk not doing it whenever I re-enter TH.

what you do with your house when you are away in thailand?
CecilM replied to parafareno's topic in General Topics
I did. House is in Canada. Keeping heat going is a given. So, turn off water and that’s it. Neighbours have a look what’s going on. Main concern is break ins. If OP’s house is in a housing estate I wouldn’t be worried about break ins than if it’s in a regular street. -

CecilM replied to parafareno's topic in General Topics
It would totally depend on the type of house (open access in a soi, or in a secure gated community). We turn off the water and ask the neighbour to keep an eye on the property. That’s it, really. -
I haven’t noticed a decline in neither my old nor new area of residence. They seem to be everywhere in Bangkok.
-
Yes, you must report upon entering Thailand. (Is what I was told at Immigration Chaengwattana.)
-
PayPal is blocked in TH for private users & Bangkok Bank is a Thai bank. That’s the only connection I can see.
-
Gotcha. ???? I was starting to get annoyed why my layman’s suggestion (get a one year non-o retirement) is causing such a fuss. Thanks. I can now happily move on with my life.
-
Isn’t that what I’ve been saying all along: get a one year non-o based on retirement…???
-
So what is the correct name of the one year visa for which you need 800k in the bank?
-
You need to check your facts. A non-o marriage or a non-o retirement visa is for one year and can be renewed indefinitely (as long as you meet the requirements). Neither marriage nor retirement visa have anything to do with non-o multiple entries, each for 90 days.
-
Of course there is. Retirement Visa. Marriage Visa. Both are one-year Non-O visas.
-
Not entirely true. A Retirement visa is also one year. There is no long term visa for Thailand (at least none that applies to the OP).
