Khon Kaen marriage extension
Was at KK immigration this morning. One year extension with income statement. Documents prechecked by interns. 25 min wait. 10 min at the counter. Checklist marriage: I got two sheets in Thai language. They don't have it in English ???? When I am back home I will scan it and either publish here or send by PM. Translation is another matter.

New Visa going to Europe
Heavily misplaced thread and confusing. Why would Schengen rules care about visas for other countries? Or did I miss something? Why not simply state what your nationality is?

If the forecast is correct it would just touch north/northeast with it's peripheral.

Tropical Storm Koinu To Hit Thailand During Oct. 9-11
October has always been one of the two rainiest months. No catastrophic change. November is a game of luck. The total rainfall so far is below normal for most areas. But also not a terrible drought like years before.

Why finding alien life in Universe is now 'only a matter of time'
Astronomy is all "pure science" without any practical implications. Voyager1 travels for 46 years now and has reached a distance less than one light day (24 billion km; 15 billion mi). It will exhaust it's last bit of energy in two years or so. It's expected to travel 40000 years until passing another star which is 17.1 lights years from earth at a distance of 1.6 light years. And they are writing about primitive life 125 light years away. Until super warp is invented it's all a nice past time.

The worst place in Thailand
What lets me shiver are the concrete mountains along Jomtien 2nd Rd. How can people live in such cages?

Wise transfer to an incorrect account number
Picture of bankbook main page. Don't rely on text messages or number given via audio/phone.

Very helpful feedback. Good for you.

Wise transfer to an incorrect account number
Seems you don't have too much experience with online banking here? For domestic transfers I will see name and account number before confirming. And then it's credited in an instant. Invalid account number will result in an error message. In SEPA (Europe) one wrong digit and the money is gone. No name matching at all. The endless IBAN starts with a two character country code. Good luck if you sent money to "BG....................". Bulgaria. Won't be seen again. Popular destination for scammers.

Friendship and coffee
Lazada has quite a choice of instant decaf. But as I have zero knowledge about prices I can't tell what is cheap. The local "Moccona Blue" was OK as a grounded coffee until it vanished from the shelves. Moccona Instant decaf 100gr 299 B.

Friendship and coffee
I am happy with Hillkoff whole beans (Arabica, French roast). 260 B for 500 gr. In former times I bough Casino brand (BigC) grounded. Has about doubled over the years. Decaff seems an extra expensive thing here. More exotic than all the rest?

Wise transfer to an incorrect account number
Yes, there is no automatic return. You have to actively enquire.

Wise transfer to an incorrect account number
And the transfer was immediate? No more cancel option available at WISE? Hope for the best that the account number does not exist. In this case the money is stuck at some bank in Thailand and can be refunded. Expect a significant loss for fess and exchanges rates back etc. Can tell for the other case (number exists). But WISE website writes about "wrong person" not wrong account number. So maybe there is a plausibility check? Some 20 years ago I had this with a SWIFT transfer of 2000 Euro, lost 200. Guess it will not be THAT bad with WISE. https://wise.com/help/articles/2448406/i-got-my-recipients-bank-details-wrong?origin=related-article-2978032 https://wise.com/help/articles/2932667/i-spelt-my-recipients-name-wrong?origin=related-article-2978032 https://wise.com/help/articles/2978032/i-sent-money-to-the-wrong-person

METV - Valid Until date
Must have been overlooked. But yes the wording changed some years ago as it confused many. The "until" stands for the last day you can utilize the visa and get 60 days permission to stay as you describe.

Need to trim a 13 second video. Can anyone help?
Deleted It was already proposed to upload to some video platform. I would stick to YouTube. 13 seconds should be like 5 MB in high quality.
