  1. Three months in advance by the rules. I assume you have a specific reason to go in advance (planned trip?). You can extend up to one year after expiry without additional effort/tests.
  2. Where do you want to go after arrival. Stay in Bangkok? Suvarnabhumi has better transport options even if it's further out. Do you travel with heavy baggage etc.? I don't know how fast immigration at DMK is. Didn't hear any complaints regarding BKK from mates who arrived during the last three months from Germany.
  3. Bangkok Bank ATMs:. of course they have the latest glitzy machines at Central. In our area they have decades old worn out wrecks. Displays pale and so dark that once in a while I had to give up with the sun shining in. A roof is cheaper than a new ATM.
  4. A Windows PC and a Firefox browser, 3BB internet. No VPN, no added security SW, net nanny's ... Didn't think it was even worth mentioning. Just clicked it here in my Android Smartphone. Opens fine. How about describing YOUR configuration which obviously has a serious problem.
  5. Not rubbish. You have to distinguish between a "line" test to your provider like AIS, ToT whatever. That is what speedtest.net does by default(!). This test is the only one that you can use to complain at your provider if it is significantly worse than advertised. speedtest also allows selection of servers from misc locations. testmynet gives the illusion of a real world test. In my case selecting an arbitrary Japanese server by default. So what? Japan? Will give a different lesser speed of course. No provider can guarantee speed to any location.
  6. Red car didn't even survive the red plate phase unharmed
  7. No idea why the translation is "gasoline". The Thai word used (เชื้อเพลิง) sounds generic and "fuel" would be better I think. And from the pictures it looks like a full size DMax pickup. Should be Diesel fuel.
  8. Also have DTAC 15 Mbit/s, no volume limit, 1390 per year. It does the job (when outside/on the road). But next time I will look at the AIS options. DTAC coverage still has more blind spots. True, no thanks
  9. Never wrong to have a screenshot or printout of your vax history. From a mate who came some 7 week ago: hold up the QR code and nobody cared. But better safe than having problems.
  10. That would then be north of the ringroad. They have an immigration building there since years. But as I understand it's only for some "region headquarter functions"?
  11. If you'd have written "male Thai" I would agree
  12. Or as a second "city car". Not everyone is keen to navigate through clogged cities, narrow Sois and parking garages with a bulky truck. For me it looks as a budget decision only. Celerio is targeting the bottom of the low budgets. Even comes with a manual gear option. 3 cylinder, 68 HP. Swift is 200k to 300k above Celerio (close to double at the top). CVT automatic like most. 4 cylinder, 83 HP. So if one likes such a compact thing and budget is not the priority the Swift is of course preferred.
  13. Still at bus terminal 3. Was there last on August 5. No indication of a soon to happen move. (rumors since years)
  14. Get your file ready and off to immigration. No wait! I did border run on Sunday, off to immigration on Tuesday.
  15. And it doesn't matter where in Thailand? "Proper" includes SUV types and Jeeps (hard to find I guess)?
  16. Bangkok Hospital P. now also offering water vapor (rezum) therapy. https://www.bangkokpattayahospital.com/en/healthcare-services/urology-center-en/urology-health-articles-en/item/3147-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia.html To give an idea about the cost: Bumrungrad in Bangkok a whopping 250'000. BNH Bangkok offer water vapor and "TIND", never heard before. https://mbrace.bnhhospital.com/en/rezum/ https://mbrace.bnhhospital.com/en/itind/ Whether or not it fits you can only be decided after comprehensive examination. And compare prices. I would not hesitate to go to Bangkok if it pays.
  17. Yes. For more studies best watch her Instagram profile (that will get a huge boost!). https://www.instagram.com/oil_paphavee99/
  18. Good to know if the worst comes true next year, insurance for all. Hope not and better hope that marriage extension will be my last trump card.
  19. Heavy to very heavy? Last night we had lasting rain but far from "very heavy". And for tonight rain for Bangkok also quite moderate strength.
  20. Absolutely. Surprising that CM closes on 11. They don't show it on their calendar on the website. But who knows, a regional holiday?
  21. Sister in law's son had been working in South Korea (Busan) for many years and was happy. Didn't want to come back. Unfortunately he came back involuntary: And guess what: motorcycle accident in Korea.
  22. "Perfect" Thai IT. Holiday calendar is too complicated. Closed of course. You can not do online 90 day report? What is your due date?
  23. I did similar just recently. But only border run to cancel the Non O-A status, return visa exempt. Then applying (TM87) at immigration for Non O based on retirement/funds, Got the visa three days ago and will apply for one year extension in October.
