Roughly how big is the traffic light and do they still do the perception test where you move the two sticks? I always had a problem with the color test when it was dozens of little dots.

No little dots normal traffic lights half size and you stand 6 feet away

Yes on both questions 3 weeks ago

Forgot to add also the reaction brake test.

Thought we were going to be there all day as one chap failed at least 10 times , he blamed it on his funny feet so he took his flip flops off.

And finally passed

Anyone done a recent renewal at Pattaya and can confirm that the color test is now done with a traffic light just using red, green and yellow? Also did you have to provide a resident certificate?

Yes on both questions 3 weeks ago

Report 10/6 2022

 

Arrived 08.40 for 09.00 appointment. 

Checked my documents for both car & motorcycle. 

Copy passport (2)

Copy permission to stay. (2)

Copy of each expired license, both sides. (same paper) 

Residence certificate from immigration, copy for #2

Health certificate, copy for #2. 

Printout proof of watching training video. (2)

Passport and old driving licenses. 

 

Wait until 09.30 then go upstairs. 

Only colorblind test and reaction test. 

Wait 20 min, then paid 505 baht for car and 255 for motorcycle. 

They only take cash.

You'll get number for photo. 

 

Go downstairs and take photo. 

Wait 20 min and guy came out with both driving license and receipts. 

 

My former car license expired 2 years and 11 moths ago. 

My motorcycle license expired 3 years and 11 months ago. 

No problem. 

 

I was horrified that they let people with shorts take driving license, when I lived on Koh Samui they would not issue unless you were properly dressed. ???? 

I am horrified that they did not make you take the full test seeing that your old license had expired years ago, never mind HO you were horrified people wearing  shorts

A copy of your driving license front & back is fine always works for us for a residence cert & driving license

I owned this lovely Triumph Stag many years ago. 

 

Sadly it regularly overheated, common problem with the Stag and the Aussie summers. 

 

It was really nice to drive with the roof off, listening to the rumble of the engine......sports exhaust system. 

 

The convertible V8 was a real head turner. 

 

Just like mine, also blown head

I was due to report my 90 days stay 6th May and I tried for the first time the online system yesterday. Today I received an email saying that it has been approved, but when I check the receipt it says This is not an extension of stay please notify your address again on 15 May 2022. How is it possible? It must be a mistake. It happened this to anyone here?

It is not an extension of stay you do that every year, this is just the 90 day report

How long is a residence certificate valid for?

Thanks

Hopea odorata (Takhian)

Our neighbor has several in his yard that border ours.  Huge trees.  I like to watch the helicopter seeds flutter down

Thanks

This makes a change from my usual plant ID.

During this mornings very welcome rain (Najomtien) this seed came into the garden on the wind.

Any ideas Thanks

The coffee mug is just a reference on size

I went for my annual retirement extension today and queued from 2 till 3 before getting in the building where I was told "come back tomorrow". I know the guy next to me was told the same and I guess others were too. They appear to be short staffed, maybe to the point of being overwhelmed.

Always the same after a holiday

Came across this Online radio station, what a breath of fresh air and not full of adds https://ukradiolive.com/radio-caroline

Listen online to the internet radio of Radio Caroline, which launched in 1964 as a pirate radio station of Essex, and was Europe's first album station. Today the station operates as a non-profit organization, with traditional AM availablity across the UK. Radio Caroline has a huge music repertoire since its playlist expands from the years the radio itself started - the 60s - to today, and airs mostly rock and alternative genres in the unique line-up. The radio has a sister station "Flashback" which focuses especially on the 60s' and 70s' pop singles. Radio Caroline begins the weekdays from 7am to 9am with Tony Paul's breakfast show.

Radio Caroline 's slogan: "Quality Album Channel"

Quick update from this morning: Arrived 07:30 to find 22 people already in line. Waited one hour and then they started letting people in. I was first in line for retirement extension (800K in FD acc.), back out around 08:40. Totally painless, spent the hour waiting chatting with some nice people (hello there guys!). I was given the 3 months "show us your money"-form, and told come back Friday after lunch to pick up passport. So now 2+ days. But as we can see, no need to queue for that (nor for showing the money), and I can do 90-day outside afterwards, so good to go for another year.

If you arrived at 7:30 when did you get your letter from the bank?, last year they refused us because we got the letter the day before. sorry just noticed you got it the day before

When it comes to entering Nationality on application there used to be a British option. Now I only see

 

Which should I use?

If you start to type BRITISH it will give you another option

Full marks to Immigration, registered on the 1st applied on the 2nd & got the new 90 day email on the 4th

Just got my new 12 months TruemoveH sim from Lazada, but just found out unlike the last sim this one it doesn't include phone calls to all networks.

When I try to make a phone call the voice says top up before make call.

Seeing as I very rarely make phone calls what are my options, IE what is the  life of say a 100baht top up 3months six months etc ?

Thanks

My agent charges 8,000 for a Non-IMM O extension (assuming you meet the financial requirements, 12,500 if you don’t),  200 for a 90 day report & 1,700/4,500 for a single/multi re-entry permit.

 

 

 

 

I thought for the O extension you had to go in person to immigration?

This large queue was unusual. First time I've ever seen it.

We did our 90 day two weeks ago the place was almost empty just one chap in front doing his 90 day.

It took longer to get the ticket than the 90 day slip due to the clueless who go there without the paperwork all ready filled in.

It's always busy on a Monday after a holiday but still surprising.

Friday was a holiday

Something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/SANNCE-8X1080P-Outdoor-Waterproof-Security/dp/B08RNM36JD/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=samsung+security+camera+system&qid=1639304547&sr=8-14

I got mine from Amazon UK, no import duty.

Went for a wired easy to install system more fail safe than WiFi

Still working well after 5 years

Thanks for the info, usually I end up bringing a weed home
