  1. The majority of the shortcuts is not new/exclusive to W11.
  2. Ok they have cheapest at about 2500/night
  3. Patience is not my strength. So today I drove to KK immigration and ask about the status of the application. And after a minute of searching in the file cabinet the lucky message: it's approved. Approval date August 2, Non O visa, permission to stay stamp until 30 October. So in the first week of October I will be there again for one year extension as usual. The "visa": much different from what a visa at a consulate looks like. It's stamped of course. Officer used about 10 different stamps to get it done. An exciting procedure It shows "The visa must be utilized on the date of it's issuance". And "USED" stamped on top. So it's kind of a virtual entry on August 2 although I guess that the 90 day report is due 90 days from the actual border run (July 17). Arrived about 9:30 at Khon Kaen immigration. It was very quiet. In/out in about 15 minutes.
  4. Junior suite with beach view about 8000. Wonder what the non discounted prices are On booking.com the statements about the view are quite vague. You might pay near 5000 for a garden view? How does this compare to the Hilton?
  5. And I am certain that Soi 3 is a quiet stretch. Not only now but in general. No way to be compared with Soi 7/8 or so (which are also half dead, slowly awaking). Never noticed, not even the name. Looks fancy/stylish/modern. Beach view room is a must.
  6. Good to see a positive experience for a change.
  7. Where did you find this email address? Seems that a server named wise-team.site does not exist. https://wise.com/help/articles/2932695/watch-out-for-phishing
  8. No FB? https://www.facebook.com/Wise/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/wise Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wiseaccount/ The contact form seems to be reserved for registered users: https://wise.com/login/?redirectUrl=/help/contact
  9. Was open on July 17 and they pushed me to this office until I convinced them that I DON'T want a re-entry permit
  10. A site like www.bbc.com is safe and encrypted. Can be accessed with a Thai IP. Facebook giving this error message? No way. Bypassing the trouble message with a VPN just covers a problem with your device or browser. That is well possible, although it would need to be checked individually site by site. Of course many sites do geoblocking (BBC Sports sounds like). There seem to many posters who manage their Thai bank account from abroad and no word about Thai VPN server. So no general statement is possible.
  11. Yes, but how many sites have been left that do not encrypt anyway? And encrypted traffic to a server in Thailand? What kind of security do you expect in a country where there is basically no protection from government surveillance?
  12. It needs a suicidal attitude to participate in a bicycle competition on Thai roads that are not closed to traffic. How crazy irresponsible is that!!!
  13. Maybe there is a chance that the airport is opened earlier. The plane has been pulled back on the tarmac this morning at 4 AM. See damages on front landing gear and engine housing. From khaosod.co.th. (click to enlarge)
  14. If you are in Thailand(?) what would be the attraction to use a Thai VPN? Little to none. NordVPN also has a Thai VPN server. It can only be of interest to show up as being in Thailand (geolocation). There is no effect on other VPN locations.
  15. Best of above WiKi says: สะพานเทียบเครื่องบิน (sà-paan tîiap krêuuang bin) https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/สะพานเทียบเครื่องบิน
  16. ? And no action taken ? Continue with the bank? Strange story at least. Dealing through the call center. What can go wrong there?
  17. Same useless nonsense like on previous occasions. Covid zone near stage, arbitrary mass gathering outside. I have experienced the same in Dec 2020. I don't really understand which roads are closed. If they close beach AND 2nd rd there will be another hilarious chaos on Soi Buakhao.
  18. Can't fix stupid designed vehicles. Nice weather design for Thailand? Does such a scooter have a high voltage battery (like the cars)?
  19. My experience at Nong Khai: officer didn't want me leave. Sent me to some room. ? Re-entry permit. Officer thought I had forgotten. No thanks! I had to persuade three officers that I want to cancel the visa. On return some raised eyebrow and I explained explicitly that I want 30 days to cancel the visa. No big hassle.
  20. Same for me (50, 200, 20). So this seems to be the default.
  21. As much as the news would be appreciated, the only source I found is the "other" newspaper. Has someone found confirmation?
  22. If this has been written the author must have been intoxicated. Flight departed 20:03, 18 minutes after schedule. Plane landed 21:05, 5 minutes after schedule.
  23. Even before a domestic flight touches the runway the beep beep ring ring starts ????
