  1. Always worth to check the hotel website. At a hotel in Pattaya : Just managed to book a room category which does not show up or shown as booked on Agoda, Booking.com or Expedia. Booking though was fairly complicated through Paypal, VISA credit card (VISA secure). A hell lot of logging in to my banking app, requesting codes bla bla... Jumping/changing through the websites on the mobile. But I could pay 2000 Baht deposit from my VISA with proper exchange rate and no fees.
  2. Case closed. He has been found in Laos! He finally contacted his family. https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid0MpSiNpfqxx2kLFyxQfbqdqqs5FC2M4Em18FL9G6Tip9WibubAcih425vJ3gt5BuYl
  3. Not even knowing/able to find what model of phone one has at hand? Seriously? I am out here.
  4. I would be surprised if no high ranking Royal attends the funeral. Princess Sirindhorn was traveling in Europe over the last days (Germany, Switzerland). Maybe she will attend?
  5. Or see post above ????
  6. Since May 2021: https://aseannow.com/topic/1214662-driving-licences-new-international-permit-to-drive-can-be-used-in-84-countries-and-for-three-years/
  7. Both are accepted. 1968 has finally been added last year. It took them decades.
  8. Oops. Just woke up from this headline. Monkeypox was quite silent in the news. Was it just another panic?
  9. Hope there is a Vivo user who can tell. On Samsung the photos are opened in the gallery app by default. There is 3-dot (3 vertical dots) menu below. Click on and select Details.
  10. The video indeed does not show what happens if you click on "More" (right hand side). You should see "64MP UHD" or "High Resolution"....? Click on it? And then? Would help to know what exact model you have as one finds differing naming on the models. I once tried the "3:4 64MP" option on my Samsung and it's really not worth to play with these bulky files. They can also be stored in some format other than JPG. Not worth the headache.
  11. As I am only an occasional visitor I hesitated to answer. But sure there is no persistent flooding in Pattaya. It's a limited area in the "lowlands" of South Pattaya rd, Soi Buakhao etc. Will usually runoff till the next morning. If your condo is uphill (Soi 16 hill or the like) then there is little chance of serious flooding. Of course part of rainwater can flow to underground garages. Is there some barrier (hump)? Hard to tell without seeing the exact location.
  12. Very easy as a one day trip on the weekend (Saturday). AirAsia to Kuala Lumpur. Land border? Is there anything closer than Sadao (Songkhla province) to Malaysia? But that's for the locals.
  13. The funeral will be a security challenge like never before. US President, Israels President, Emperor of Japan, ... and so many more. "Like a 100 state visits". Just good that Putin is busy at home.
  14. Nothing since months. Even to Phuket last December nothing. To/from Khon Khaen nothing. Even the last strongholds Samui and Chiang Mai have given up checks on arrival. TO Bangkok there never was a restriction.
  15. I hope that the promised official change to endemic status from October will bring a change even to the paranoid corners of the country.
  16. True. Like it or not. I stopped silly mask wearing on the bike but also have to accept grannys on bicycles with mask! Lotus Makro all masked. Of course mask in all government, banks etc And from the OP I suggest: find another country. Not only for the mask topic. Land of the free? Haha 8 years under the rule of a coup general.
  17. Just realized that all emoticons are now "happy"/"all good" type. So now you have to express your disagreement in words
  18. Didn't get that from the post. Wait for more response @ubonjoe to the rescue As far as I know it is possible to go and pick up the extension after the consideration stamp because the extension is valid from the date that it has been approved even if it is not stamped in your passport yet.
  19. True offers prebooking. Hurry up to the operating room.
  20. 90 day report is flexible. Pick up your extension on Sep 16 and do the 90 day report. You "loose" 5 days on your 90 day report, is that a concern for you? And have you tried online 90 day report?
  21. Ford, Mazda and Nissan fans won't be happy to read
  22. For the communication cables (mainly fiber optic) it's not rocket science to have them watertight. Even now they are exposed to torrential rains incl the joints/boxes overhead. The backbone of the internet are big fiber optic cables buried on the ocean grounds. High voltage cables (12kV up) underground is very expensive and I doubt that this will be done on a wide scale.
  23. Hardly comparable as we live in an upcountry village. If a dog dies one of the sons will come and put in a big bag and dig a hole on his plot. Family's favorite from the avatar died in April 2019.
  24. 3 years is just the limit for paying tax retroactive and a small fine without a new registration (some say the offices are relaxed about this rule?). She should (extra carefully) drive to the nearest vehicle inspection workshop (yellow cogwheel) with the green book (registration book) and let them say what is doable. They can take care for the whole process. Inspection needed anyway. Rarely fails.
  25. It's quite different from the operators packages. I works on a specific 4G(LTE) band nationwide (2300 MHz. (LTE Band 40)). If someone could tell what this means for coverage and how to find whether one's mobile works with that.
