Why is North Thai Pho so much worse than Pho from the South
KhunBENQ replied to Yamu's topic in General Topics
After some "investigation" I found that this might be about Vietnam cuisine? Could mods move this? -
Heavy rain and flash flood warnings issued across Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Too much alarm, too often. This wears off. Currently very little going on. https://www.ventusky.com/?p=11.1;102.3;4&l=rain-3h -
Depends on DLT offices. Pattaya is notorious for ignoring YB. Up here find since years.

DiY Retiement Extension - Jomtien
KhunBENQ replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I have done that for 10 years or so and last time they "let me through" but reminded me next time book update same day. Seems it's up to the office(r). -

Here immigration gave me a reminder that the book (fixed deposit) update has to be from same day. Fortunately at Bangkok Bank this can be done at the counter without any transaction. Even the update machines will do if you insert them a second time after seeing not transaction at first attempt. -

At least here it is no problem. Always used previous day. What they want is a bank book update from same day. (you could have withdrawn the millions overnight ) -

A lot of wrong informed people. Can't tell how often this was clarified in the forum. The only condition for the account: shown balance could be withdrawn in full at any time. In this case just loosing accrued interest which is not shown on balance before due date. Good to see your report. Would call it off-season report -
Stupid dealer. Seems uninterested. Driving license is utter nonsense. You can buy in your name and let your partner drive. Go next door. Bought a new car recently. Passport with visa/extension. Yellow book/pink card. Buying on finance denied. No surprise. Paid by bank transfer from the mobile. Where was that BTW?

A slang term describing what many feel when dealing with Thai government offices 😊 "PITA stands for "Pain in the a**" -

Big fat deception. Recently learned. Best price for room 9xx Baht. Then continue: you have to pay 11xx Baht, get cashback. Fine print: apply for cashback, need a credit card, may take a month, for less than 10 USD there is 1 USD fee. No thanks!

A bit too much of fear mongering about 1 year ban. Never heard before. Since years they tell that you won't be able to pay tax/insurance with an open ticket. Since years others tell you it's just hot air, don't care, don't pay. I will not try to find the truth tentatively. I think it is worth to change the address in the book. Might be a PITA with certificate of residence. There is website in Thai to check for outstanding tickets. But only usable with Thai ID, so not worth linking, -
? The two year is obviously due to your Thai license expiring in two years. Both the 1949 and 1968 should be available to all Thai non temporary DL holders. Following Wiki Indonesia only accepts the 1968 ("3 year") IDP. Doubt it has to do with issuing country.
-
That's an interesting hint. Wasn't aware about it.

You can get a one year IDP (1949 convention) or a three year IDP (1968 convention). Which is the right choice depends on the country where you want to use it. Which is?
