Visa (VOA) stamp after Oct 1st
KhunBENQ replied to Oblomov's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Even 90 days although "oblomov" does not sound Latin American or South Korean -
Which in a way sounds more plausible and alarming! How many would be affected by 28k USD and the like? They seem to have serious deficits with their web editing. The anonymous website showed the 28k foreign currency warning this morning. NOW CORRECTED Quick and dirty, English only where it was German before.

Thailand fully reopens from 1 October 2022
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
You haven't heard German health minister. Mr. Panic himself. -
Same limit for: GBP. USD, EUR. CHF... Maybe more?
-
Strange similarity to the other thread about 28000 GBP.
-
Correct and obvious after reading equivalent text in German. Just enough for my monthly expenses ,,????

1 year unlimited Dtac 30mbps vs True 15mbps
KhunBENQ replied to sallecc's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
At Lazada in May. From this shop: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i977508811-s10371293227.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1 30 Mbps is 1690. But there are many offers for all providers on Lazada. Quite confusing. I managed to register the SIM online without visiting DTAC shop. But it was a bit teduious, repeated attempts to scan QR and passport upload... If all fails visit DTAC shop with passport. -
Drug stores now required to always have a pharmacist on duty
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
A good move if enforced. It's annoying to approach this wannabee pharmacies in malls and just see the blinds with the pharmaceuticals down. Better close them totally as usual drugstore stuff is available everywhere. -
1 year unlimited Dtac 30mbps vs True 15mbps
KhunBENQ replied to sallecc's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
They might be fooled by the fact that data is actually coming through WiFi at certain places like big shopping malls. Learned that from a shop owner at Tukcom when my friend purchased a 15 Mbit/s card and test showed some 50 Mbit/s. Also throttling may be lifted temporarily depending on total load/time of day etc. Not at DTAC, never experienced. -
1 year unlimited Dtac 30mbps vs True 15mbps
KhunBENQ replied to sallecc's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I have a DTAC SIM, 15 Mbit/s, one year, 1390 Baht or so. testmynet will usually test against some "real world" server outside of Thailand/overseas and the result is not surprising to me. The provider will guarantee the rate only testing against their own domestic servers. And thats what my SIM supplies (15 Mbit). It's good for my purpose when "on the road" (listening to radio, reading/browsing news, mail, text/video chat). It even does reasonable video streaming from the big players (youtube and the like). BUT: be aware that the UPLOAD speed can be very bad depending on the signal strength/distance of your phone to cellular station. Bad upload on the cell phone usually spoils video chat experience. If you use the phone mostly in city/populate areas this might not be a problem. But countrywide the DTAC coverage is still behind AIS e.g. Calls to all networks are free, limited to 60 min/month with my card. Next year I will look at AIS for the better coverage. -

Ok. So now a more complicated check. Plastic notes are off limits for spending now ???? -
Misprinted 20 Baht Polymer Banknotes In Circulation
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Interesting how they point and name the printing company which is very unlikely responsible for the mess. A Thai company would not be named due to the defamation laws. DLR should try a defamation charge ???? -
Misprinted 20 Baht Polymer Banknotes In Circulation

Agree. A photo of an erroneous note would be fine. The photo in the OP shows nothing wrong. -
You need a serious update on Thai geography.

You and the pickup are in Phuket? I don't see another useful chance but finding a driver. And of course I would drive with him/her except it's a completely trusted person. (you are single? no Thai partner) A thousand miles (1600 km). Even as a two day trip quite straining. Fly back. From your post it sounds there is no option for the person in CM to fly to Phuket and pick it up?

US Embassy in Russia tells Americans to leave the country
KhunBENQ replied to Scott's topic in World News
As I read he is dual citizen now. FBI(?) would likely give him a warm welcome back home? -
Foreign Falangs....... Thailand is almost back to normal!!!
KhunBENQ replied to Iamfalang's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Timing of this thread is perfect On my morning round with the dog I noticed music from the school and cars parked before 7 AM. May wife tells me: a teacher is retiring, party for him. Now since early morning a swelling and decreasing level of all kind of noises. Music, shouting like someone broke his arm or bitten by a Rottweiler. Then karaoke. I call it: someone stepped on cat's tail. So all back to normal. Covid is over!
