Yes they go to Bangkok for the vibrant city life and cultural experience. They go to Pattaya for the beach life and islands.

That comes close to what I would suggest. Come and see the nature. As others write, the cities are somewhat similar and not too interesting to spend a lot of time. Chiang Khan skywalk overlooking Mekhong over to Laos. Khao Yai at the entrance to Isaan is worth. Petchabun is nice although just west of Isaan. For the parks, waterfalls, Mekhong etc. it much depends on your date of travel. Can either be crowded like mad or waterfalls drying out, Chinese cutting Mekhong low you can almost walk over. Four weeks is really too much for just this region. You could consider doing a whole Thailand round-trip in this time. Do you have experience with driving in Thailand?

Illegals are an easy task for extortion. Should be "happy" if he is not get caught:

And SMS messages miraculously vanished from her phone. Incompetent or corrupt. The effect is the same. Multi billion tax payer Euros wasted to fatten Pfizer.

Successfully dumped the shelf warmer before expiry date. Pfizer shot in Germany popular like a kick in the shin. Huge scandalous multi billion contracts of EU with Pfizer. Millions of doses will rot. Compensation payments for non buying expected.

I was not enthusiastic to see one granddaughter coming with this. Tastes differ ????

Stock control a Makro. Good laughter ???? Don't want to bore with details just one: Tuesday is the "maybe have wife's favorite (frozen) bread roll " day. No chance Wed to Mon. The other type is lying around like stinking fish. Other products vanish for weeks and months. Big hooray on return. Customer service: a mate regularly bought Schweppes. Always only one box available. Asked whether they can order more. Blank stare. Can not.

Chachoengsao in southern Thailand (forum)? Didn't know I made it that far last time ????

Format and reinstall from scratch. Will still be good enough.

That seems to become "big fun". I managed one successful scan with Bangkok Bank raising daily. Now since 10 minutes trying to do a transfer > 50 and felt like a 100 attempts to repeat the success. What comes as an extra bonus: if the "green" frame appears you have to do some grimace like blink or smile, instructed on screen. Too bad I can't read that without glasses on. If that doesn't change it sounds like a lot of frustration and trouble, visits to the bank etc. Will now check the website.... Thanks heaven BKB website works as usual. Looks like the app will develop to tool for "minor deals". In an emergency I can use the BKB website on the mobile (with magnifying glasses ).

Was at Bangkok Bank and SCB today. Bangkok Bank hopefully finished, picture taken although no message(?) so far. AND just was successful in raising limit. The process was a bit erratic. Took some attempts with the face in frame SCB: sat with the female clerk for about ten minutes. She seemed to have no idea what to do. She called Bangkok and the woman on the line told me it would be ready on July 4th and I would be notified through some channel. (other posters seem to have gone through similar and told some ready dates) So far SCB has not cut down limits. Similar with Kasikorn, limits unchanged and seems not ready. Yesterday this message popped up from the app:

Must be a terrible translation. As all above said nothing to forecast. Just scientific/astronomical facts. And as usual some span between northern and southern Thailand. Chiang Rai: 13 hours, 20 minutes sunrise to sunset. Bangkok: 12 hours, 56 minutes Songkhla: 12 hours, 31 minutes (close to a null event) Of course the twilight lets the day feel even longer. It's a pity I have never been to the far north (north cape) where the sun never sinks at this time of year.

All the described procedures I did ONCE when registering my WISE account. Completely normal as all financial institutions have to carefully identify their customers. Since then no more such. I should mention that I always transfer from the WISE "bank" account to the ever same account at Bangkok bank in my name.

? What are you addressing me? I am not a Swede. Have to take the situation as it is. Forward your post to German Pension office cc. IT minister. Thanks

Merged to "ttb" a while ago.

If you have (permanent) resident status/address in Korea you could direct your application to the Thai consulate in South Korea (I assume south). For that the address in the passport is useful. Should be good enough for application at Korea consulate? Otherwise you need another proof. For the details you would have to give it a try on the e-visa site. Can't help with details.

Reminds of my one and only rail link use from Suvarnabhumi. Down the stairs at the connecting station and a good walk to the BTS. "Well thought" and coordinated between Thailand state railway and Bangkok metro... Don't know whether is has improved.

German Pension office last year started a trial with "Postident" mobile phone app that basically consists of uploading passport pages and then taking a short video clip of the face (within the app). I did it successfully last year but this year I will get me a stamped form so that I can send a copy to the company pension office which is behind modern times. (this Postident just leaves an identification completed message on the screen. Quite useless. Last time for the company pension I used a bilingual form (English/Thai) from the Swiss(!) pension office and had it stamped by the subdistrict major. No fee. German pension office has bilingual forms for misc languages but of course not for Thai.

And at the same time the US puts most pressure to banks worldwide to properly identify its customers.

From a mate's experience the first post of Dr Jack says it all. The Thai consulate in France has to work on the application for any French citizen! No question. And of course you can use any former address or address of relatives whatever if asked. No proof requested. The problem arises only if a foreign resident of France (let's say a Swiss) wants to apply for E-visa at the consulate in France. He would have to proof his residence in France. Why would he? Maybe because he lives and works in France and can only proof income/saving in Euro/France. I know about that having lived in Germany as a foreigner and applying at the general consulate in Berlin (in person 2010). Need proof or residence.

Thanks for that. Just tested out the same and will go to Bangkok Bank. Just noticed that I wrote about the 50k limit in another thread. I tested transfer >50 from Kasikorn to Bangkok Bank, no problem. I tested transfer >50 from SCB to Bangkok Bank, no problem. BUT trying to transfer >50 from Bangkok Bank to SCB ended here: Kasikorn app on the other hand showed me this on the app when selecting facial: Both SCB and Kasikorn (still) show daily limits of 200k to other banks while Bangkok Bank shows 50k (now).

Played around on the Kbank app and got this interesting message: So until further notice no change at Kasikorn Bank.

For the moment you can go to the SCB app and check the personal daily limits. Mine are still on default(?) at 200'000 for other banks.

I couldn't resist. Just moved 51500 Baht from Kasikorn to Bangkok Bank. No problem. Then moved 51000 Baht from SCB to Bangkok Bank. No problem. Then tried to move 51000 Baht from Bangkok Bank to SCB. And BANG! Exceeds daily limit. Tried to increase daily limit (set at 50000) and got this: So off to Bangkok Bank tomorrow. New haircut first?

Thread in Pattaya forum, you live in Pattaya? Is the position of the consul vacant? I read something about a consul retiring from the job. Next month I will use service of the German consul for life certificate and income statement (I am not British and not German). For a fee he might put a stamp even on a UK form?
