I remember for sure that the 6 month rule for Thailand has been abolished. "Valid for period of stay in Thailand". "Passengers must hold a valid passport with at least 2 blank pages." https://www.traveldoc.aero/results Check with your airline. Can't find a full TIMATIC query publicly available anymore. (TIMATIC is the reference for all IATA airlines)

Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn allow cardless withdrawals from each other's ATMs. But recently noticed that it always cost a fee a the others ATM.

But why do the cables come down? Obviously hanging to deep. The trailer is a proper low loader, a rare sight up here. Does not look like it's higher than 4 meters?

Who is more stupid? GPS/maps app or drivers not properly planning a trip beforehand? Of course you use the bypass/ringroad. Khon Kaen has become a traffic nightmare anyway.

So he should have known about the speed bumps. Ignoring on a two wheeler is a very bad idea. On the other hand it is a shame and typical neglect that many speed bumps are barely visible particularly in the night. They are meant to be clearly visible to remind drivers to slow down. They are not meant to be invisible death traps.

About 7? billion who don't. I use cashless where I find it appropriate. Not at 7/11 for the brownie. Never physically use a foreign credit card in Thailand. Rarely having less than 10k Baht with me when going out.

What a charming lady.

It was in the 1990s and the natural features are not easy found in another developed country (with all the infrastructure). Volcanoes, desert and green jungle within an hour drive. Is Lahaina still a heap of ash or rebuilt? Really moved me to learn about this catastrophic fire. Hawaii is more than Waikiki. Thailand is more than Patong.

Stay away. And that is what more and more potential USA tourists do. Travel agencies are worried about oncoming seasons. There other more welcoming countries. 4 hours at the immigration queue, mobile phones searched. Confiscated and denied entry when refusing to provide passwords etc. Indiscriminate assumptions like in this and other cases. Now think of you to come to Thailand for 60 days. Having booked whole trip? Any Thailand critical stuff on your devices? You look like you want to to work here! -> off to detention.

Tarrifs up to about 3500% on solar cells from Chinese owned factories in Thailand and Cambodia. Basically a hidden import ban. German solar cell industry has already been destroyed by Chinese imports. Similar with wind turbines.

Lunar Beach House north Pattaya branch:

So this is a "sister" of the established Lunar Beach House on Pratamnak/Jomtien. Been there once. Found the new location on Instagram ("thelunarbeachhouse").

The trays are 30 eggs. Last price here was 120 Baht (medium size). 4 Baht, about 12 US cent per egg. Tell our US fellows that this is an egg price crisis Pack of 10 and 30 is indeed styleless. Traditionely it was 12 (dozen) and multiples.

Horrible again and nothing happens. A bit tiring to even list the problems.

Three languages on my Samsung. I often switch the language on my wife's phone from Thai to English to help with some issues. Counted about 65 languages on my phone to choose from

Can only tell from experience with Samsung and Redmi. Since long smartphones can be setup to a myriad of different languages like 70 or more. Also one can switch between languages. The only trick is to find the setting via the respecting symbols. If you buy the phone it might be useful to switch/setup to English at first. Either by the shop assistant or a setup guide SW of factory new phone. From there it is not too difficult to change to Thai language. Motorola is not very widespread here from what I see. Some online deals on Lazada. So you can be sure that it is possible to setup Thai language

Can you tell what you need to get a postpaid? Bank account? Deposit? Work permit? Visa/extension?

No way. Maybe the older vaccine which is far inferior.

Questions, questions... One way flight, country of residence... I bet that there will be a veritable chaos at immigration on May 1st and following. Be aware that the TDAC is already worked in at TIMATIC (the airlines information system). So be prepared to show it at check-in (maybe).

13390 would not be overly expensive. Seen other prices down to 11000 or so.

With the speed of Voyager 1 (started 1977, distance now about one light day) the 124 light year trip would take roughly 50 million years. Who invents warp speed spaceship? I find this research "interesting" if it doesn't cost me money. Those researchers will never have to proof their findings. Send a query to those aliens and expect an answer in no earlier than 248 years.

A bit difficult to find on Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. This is a translation: "Shingles vaccine Shingrix (new type) 2 doses, price 13,390 baht"

Yes. But makes sense only if your jab was shingrix and within a certain timeframe. Combining with the older zostavax is probably not useful. There is a couple of treads from the past back to 2023. Will look it up later.

Two shots. Each about 6500, so 13000 total. That was at a private hospital in Khon Kaen (Ratchaphruek). Don't know about current availability and prices in Pattaya.

Let's say: in the bar is still different to the public on the street. Love hearts 😁 nipple pads are common.
