  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. If the forecast is correct it would just touch north/northeast with it's peripheral.
  4. 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.
  5. Saturday, Sunday, late night. All happened. Guess some officers working shifts kill time.
  6. 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.
  7. What lets me shiver are the concrete mountains along Jomtien 2nd Rd. How can people live in such cages?
  8. Don't feed the troll.
  9. Air Chief Marshal Alongkorn Wannarot retires. Served one year. Do you see the scheme? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alongkorn_Wannarot
  10. Might be: seems some Air Marshal retires. New head from Oct 1. "FINAL FLYING". Some farewell show?
  11. Picture of bankbook main page. Don't rely on text messages or number given via audio/phone.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. Yes, there is no automatic return. You have to actively enquire.
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. For that reason I was reliefed that he was kicked aside.
  20. Again a boss for a year. Making sure that nothing changes.
  21. If end of September there is no stack of flooding videos from Pattaya then something is wrong
  22. https://twitter.com/10NewsFirstQLD/status/1706930369541312849
  23. Hope I picked the correct diagram. Deviation of rainfall from average normal (1 Jan to 24 Sep). (http://climate.tmd.go.th/gge/Gra_AccumRain.pdf)
