Comparing what I see available on the app, based on my location, with the restaurants listed on the website (not stating my location)

https://www.foodpanda.co.th/city/hat-yai

Would seem the cut-off is an approximate 2.5km radius.

Well you're about 4km out of town, we're in Hat Yai Nai, about 2km from the town centre. I guess the restaurants or Foodpanda, set some sort of delivery maximum radius.

There's quite a few more outlets signed up, over 100 now. I spotted Billin Cafe and Bistro is now signed on, that's not good news -my waist line is in serious danger as they make an awesome lemon meringue tart. 

'A Little' is on Foodpanda, and we had breakfast from them this morning. It arrived on time, all nice and hot, the delivery bike found the house without any drama, nothing squished or squashed. Cash on delivery. Will use again.

And how many of those 7000 channels do you watch. It takes longer to find which program to watch than it does to actually watch it !

Half an hour to work out there's nothing worth watching!

But no reference to nuclear energy - the most expensive and dangerous....

And the environmental costs of fossil fuels aren't included either - that bill is yet to be paid! 

I had the following pop up yesterday. But I've feature updates deferment set to 180 days anyway.

Why do you think that only Savanaket and HCM City are on the list for an easy None O and not Singapore?

You missed the point. Singapore has an online system which allows application for a multi-entry. If other embassies in Laos or Vietnam move to online let's hope, like Singapore, the ME option is retained.

The issue is that you must hold a Singapore Residency or a Work Permit to actually get a one year visa ME visa plus on top 400,000 Baht.

Found it - report is a here

The report I saw was from a non Singapore resident, the website indicates residency is a requirement for some countries (mainly African/Arab) most western countries are not on that list. I've tried searching for the thread but I can't find it.

Importantly this is an online setup that has retained a multi entry option.

The financials are not an issue, getting a multi-non O is.

Another poster has pointed out that this visa is not available at any Embassy which is using the on-line process, which surely one day they all will be, which, if a true statement means that eventually this visa will disappear and no longer be available in Ho Chi Mihn or other such places.

If IRC the Thai Embassy in Singapore's online options include a multi Non-O based on marriage, there was a report early in the year or late last year. 

Just looking at the website the multi-entry option is still on offer.

Score it to shoddy workmanship

But they've change the whole approach (from 1903 onwards).

In future the feature updates on Win10 Pro will come up as available but won't install unless you initiate, that is until your currently installed version reaches end of support, at which point the next feature version will install.

Meanwhile for the general support updates you can defer these for up to 35 days.

Hence the old screen menu is redundant.

A Little?

Yes, mainly Dim Sum- it's excellent, they're open 7am-2pm and 6pm-9pm - so not just for breakfast. Dim Sum, plus noodle dishes, char siew and roast duck.

My Asus mini (media box) Win10 home edition updated yesterday, no problems, ran the update overnight. Will leave the two laptops with Win10 Pro until I have to.

Please feel to shoot me down if this is old news.

It was news to me. As you say the app shows a handful of outlets signed up so far, though you'd think with the plethora of food stalls and outlets around Hat Yai there'd not be enough demand. Maybe it's our Malaysian tourists that are responsible, Food Panda is popular across the border. Would be good having Homeless sign up and A Little, plus a couple of the Japanese restaurants, I might be tempted then.

"Shoot me down"...likely an apt description of what may happen to delivery people there...

Double yawn.

Came through Swampy last Thursday, the wife did the talking and we were allowed to use the Thai Passport desk (not the e-gate). Went up to the desk together, wife with both passports. No problem.

Me too, and I begrudge the extra £8 the PO costs.

I wish! It's £12.50p these days.

Not offering this up as a recommendation, but personally I've posted in applications for many visas in the past, and always ignored the postal order requirement they stipulated, figuring it was safe to send cash with registered post (my passport was in there anyway). The embassy always accepted the cash and issued the visa. 

Actually the website says cash or postal order, sending cash just seems risky, but as you say with registered post, and you're already risking your passport, sending cash is more efficient, saves on the post office charge. The only caveat I'd add is with a PO I have proof of how much money was in the envelope.

Off topic but amazed postal orders are still available!

The venerable postal order still exists but is no longer sold as fixed denominations, rather they look like a cheque. The details of  payee and amount are printed on the cheque.

Indeed!

No it wasn't, it's been up and running at Hat Yai Airport since February!
