  1. Decades living in Germany I can't remember switched sockets. In the house here I installed two. Nice to have but hardly ever switched off.
  2. Can't help about Chaiyaphum specialized money exchangers if any. Commercial banks offer rates that are about 0.3 worse than best money exchanges. Would end with 3000 Baht less for 10000 Dollar. And the banks can be quite picky about clean crisp notes, denying any notes with dog-ears, scribble etc. Go to main branches only. Passport required. Whether it's worth a trip to Khon Kaen where you might get 0.2 better than at a bank in C.P.? (there are money exchangers).
  3. Using them about monthly for more than two years from EUR country without any problems. What I would have been affected was a weekend when they limited transfer to 18000 Baht per transaction. That lasted like Friday to Tuesday. It's always best not to expect transfer in seconds but be OK with next day. I usually get next day labelled as foreign transfer at my Bangkok Bank account. Might be related to specifying purpose as cost for long term stay.
  4. If opting for a flight, you should check visa (on arrival?) requirements/cost for your nationality. Also the schedules look like at least one overnight is necessary if flying nonstop from CNX (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, HCMC, Hanoi, Danang...).
  5. Venezuela has the highest known oil reserves in the world followed by Saudi Arabia. Now you can decide which barbarian or socialist/communist regime you prefer to make business with. For Venezuela there is a chance to get rid of the terrible mismanagement. What's your perspective for Saudi Arabia?
  6. Even in Khon Kaen there are one/two exchanges with decent rates. But as written: if the topic starter doesn't reveal his area it's all pointless.
  7. Like it or not, but it's a report on day 90 from day 1 entering Thailand (grace period as described above). Last date for report in person would have been Fri 25th. It's not a 3 month report. Either count on the calendar or use this: https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html Add 89(!) days.
  8. Almost fell into the trap ???? Nov 21st WAS the due date Aug 24th was day 1 Nov 21st was day 90 Your report is overdue. Go and see what the mood/fine is. 2000 is usual.
  9. Thanks for that. It was down for a long time. I had given up.
  10. ? You are posting in the Isaan forum. A little hint about your location would help. Otherwise you will be directed to Superrich in Bangkok
  11. Just checked with WISE and it's not a scam/fraud. I read it in German language You must be too rich ???? It's about large sums (without specifying) and they claim it is part of regulatory conditions. German text says three months of statements with clear references (like pension, work income, interest...).
  12. And multiple reports and checklists that no proof of onward travel was required for the 30 day extension. Potential problem is always the airline if your booking exceeds 45 days.
  13. When I critize my step daughter (adult) my wife will be silent at best.
  14. Red volcano less than the exploding grey ones that spit ashes high up the atmosphere (like Mount Saint Helens). There are some under watch which could have serious impact (ash clouds darken the sun, temperature drop). But this would need a disastrous event like Krakatoa.
  15. A four lane racetrack through housing areas. What can go wrong? 60 km/h as mentioned above? Haha, the fun starts at 120. Some big bikers made it to 200 or so. Their body parts where hard to find. Where is the head? They should tear down the useless crosswalks. Put warning signs for pedestrians every 100m. Signs with a skull.
  16. Do you have internet banking? If so you could use cardless withdrawal.
  17. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Cards/Be1st-Smart-Card "If I forgot my PIN, what should I do? If you forgot your PIN, you cannot reset your PIN by yourself. To continue using your card, you can cancel it and request a card replacement simply by taking your Citizen ID card or passport and passbook to any Bangkok Bank branch in the same province as your home branch and you will be able to replace it with a new Be1st Smart card." How weird/archaic. Branch in same province....
  18. RCB is THE live saver. "Joven" made in Malaysia? Hard to believe that it doesn't a built in RCB. The installation is dirt ugly and somewhat careless but no immidiate danger. This model looks close and has a sensitive 10 mA "ELCB". https://joven-electric.com/product/instant-water-heater/sc33-series/sc33p But it's up to the OP to examine. It has a 2012 energy label so not that new.
  19. From your question I assume other methods won't work when payment is late (late fee?). (no PWA payment for us here)
  20. And no water from the socket. The OP is about WATER! A search does not reveal more than the one branch for Pattaya. Others are Sri Racha, Ban Bueng, ...
  21. True. Tried many shops for caraway. They had it. (I know caraway is a hate or love item ????).
  22. Friendship is kind of strange. There are products which are Ok or cheaper than TOPS or other high price locations. But for many products that I know they carry the winner label for highest price. Up here 95 Baht as you mentioned.
