Power Bank Explosion Causes Panic on AirAsia Flight
CecilM replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
We got a 10mAh powerbank (and Bluetooth headphones and Bluetooth speaker) for free with the purchase of a phone. Free = questionable quality. It feels so light and flimsy that I'm reluctant to use it. -
Does he have health insurance? That could be a big (financial) obstacle, even if he finds a home here.
-
That's something I would never buy on Lazada/etc (unless it's from the manufacturer's official shop). Even then, I'd probably rather go to a mall. Based purely on one bad experience buying electronics and then not being able to claim warranty.

Heat, turn on A/C. Bad air, buy an extra air filter. Cheaper than trying to run away every year.

Our condo manager revoked elevator key fob access to non-paying owners. They had to walk up 8 floors. They didn't sue/fight the manager's actions... read between the lines what's legal and what a lawsuit might achieve.

I went back to the shop 3x and they cut and inserted new lenses (each time 20+k at the shop's expense) until they got it right. They didn't measure the fit - think farang nose - for my progressive lenses properly.

Interesting. Is this from an App? Please share the source. Thank you.

The g/f can visit you in Vietnam. She can bring your stuff. Have a holiday. Then fly home and get a proper visa. The times for multiple easy visa runs are over. -
Lazada (yes, again) - returns page on PC not working - just me??
CecilM replied to Crossy's topic in General Topics
Web based access is disappearing (or not updated/working) for many companies. Push their mobile apps. Unfortunate trend of these times. Considering that many items ordered on Lazada need to be returned, I'd be sure to use the app for purchase/ returns (or at least for the return process). To browse/buy, web-based is fine. -
Thank you for sharing. :)

Many? Maybe excessive. Some? Yeah.

Normal. Speak up and tell them who was there first.

Yup, German 'stumm' but for sure not silent. It's a strong 'sh' sound followed by 't'.

Didn't work on laptop. Worked on phone. Then worked on laptop. After that everything OK.

Charging for toilet for non-customers is OK. Claiming the stretch of public street in front of your business as a parking spot for your business is not OK.

Pink Id card for foreigners
CecilM replied to Enquiry123's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I got it from JJ district office. Easy (just showed up). Quick (30min). Cheap (60 Baht). Passport, yellow tabian baan, marriage certificate, and something the wife had to sign in the office. -
Consistently good? Nowhere in Thailand.
-
Ah, no. Too many chances of things taking a bad turn. If she insists, don't get involved or have your name anywhere on the package.
-
Don't waste any further time, money, effort on this. Buy a new-used car in Canada.
-
Just FYI, in Germany (for example) you get a yellow vaccination 'passport' in which doctors record every single vaccination that you've received since you were born. Maybe he was referring to that. But, yes, the covid vaxx passport (which I also made an effort to get) has proven pretty useless.

Wrong temple. I donated and got a buyer for my condo the next day.

Do your due diligence in research (compare price, vendors, ask the vendor, etc). Because it was so cheap, just yesterday I asked a vendor if the item was made in Japan (as a Japan-made product was pictured) and the vendor replied that it was made in China. If you order and it's still crap, return it for a refund. I've gotten some excellent items; I've returned many that didn't meet expectations.

Namyen Amethyst @ Bon Marche. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xcX4mJECGXgktGUcA?g_st=il You can also find the store on FB.

Comprehensive. I needed FEWER documents than you listed when I renewed my marriage visa at CW a few weeks ago (tm30, kor-ror 2, blue book, etc - never needed those). Glue and scissors I also always bring. As for your "Personal Comment" that has also never been requested of me/us. But I fully agree to have a list of documents in ones files (mine is not as neat as yours) so that next year will be smooth sailing.

Korea bans killing and eating Dogs - will Thailand follow?
CecilM replied to kwilco's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
OP... what meat do you consider inappropriate that is being consumed here in Thailand?
