Take care not to stretch it too far. No cigarettes, no alcohol over the limit. Food and appliances are less severe with tax or fine. At these still quite times the chance might be higher to be checked?

No problem. A mod has already moved it.

Bangkok Bank Terms & Conditions
KhunBENQ replied to OJAS's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Thanks for the effort. It's amazing how they throw out a complete new terms/conditions without any comments what's new or changed. Very different in other countries. And the record holder for new terms/conditions: SCB Feels like every month they throw out another version. -
Not quite sure why this is a Phuket topic.

At least you are not alone. Lots of complaints since months about these. You seem to run your own mail server/client? And I thought 18 spams this morning looking through my webmail was much. McAfee subscription, last reminder... very stubborn.

Is the Weather noticeably hotter this year in Thailand?
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in General Topics
Weather is coming back to normal here. Hot BUT during March early and plenty of rain, beginning of April cold! Some of "coldest" days people remember. With greetings from China. For me this year is NOT hotter than usual. Tomorrow the sun peaks over Bangkok (89.9 at 12:15). From previous years I remember the alarming messages about peak electric power usage for this day. Nothing seen so far. BTW for the next few days a slight cool down expected. EDIT: just noticed that there is news thread exactly confirming: "Sun will be directly over Thailand on Wednesday, but not the hottest day" -
Indeed. AirAsia 2 to 3 flights per week. One arriving 20:15 (8:15 PM)! VietJet shows a daily flight.

https://play.google.com (the www. link does not work for me)

A justified question as the OP had Play Store earlier. New Huawei devices are subject to US sanctions and may not use Play Store and other Google stuff.

Instrument Lamp Replacement on old Fino

That was the word I forgot. Same in other languages. -
Instrument Lamp Replacement on old Fino
KhunBENQ replied to Daffy D's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
There are some videos in Thai language (mute if you prefer). It looks like dismantling the whole instrument starting with unscrewing the speedometer cable. When you have unmounted the instrument the screws are below. Some special screw driver involved ("star" screws? no idea how it's called in English). See yourself, hope it helps. -
iHerb not working? Where else to get supplements?
KhunBENQ replied to Lorry's topic in Health and Medicine
Can't tell for iHerb but for another company: it transits through Frankfurt where it is taken by DHL and delivered here by the Thai post. But the origin in my case was in NJ, US. And last shipment was fast. Ordered Feb 24, received Mar 3. -
After 3 years the registration is cancelled. Recently I managed to do it three months before that for a granddaughters scooter. They just don't care. Compulsory insurance and tax has to be paid back for the missed time-span. (plus some 1% per month in interest) I paid some 1600 Baht for that scooter (incl inspection fee).

Well there is little doubt that the CCSA meeting conclusions have been translated correctly. Formally it is in effect not before published in the Royal Gazette. Very little chance that the basics will change. (CCSA is headed by Mr. Big P.) I see it in misc Thai news outlets among them PBS. Translated headline: "Prime Minister announces cancellation of Test&Go - open country in full on May 1"

The limits for negative interest (nice wording) becomes lower and lower. Some banks go down to 5000 Euro. Thanks to the bangsters at ECB driving large parts of financial and insurance businesses to the wall. Zero interest at 7% inflation.

wise banking / transfer wise new rates
KhunBENQ replied to Harveyboy's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I saw this bad news for breakfast (in German language). I'll try to find it on the web... Well hidden It appeared like a popup on the smartphone app. Sending 2000 EUR will cost me about 1.20 EUR more (as far as I remember). And yes, and only holding up to 3000 EUR will be free. -
The thread is from Monday. I read that tomorrow (Thursday April 21) the Department of Disease Control will meet. They give proposals based on expert/medical assessment. On Friday(!) "the powers that be" (CCSA) will meet. Led by big wise man Mr. P. Cross your fingers that they do not again use the sledgehammer to crash any hope for easing of rules.

The key to silence is getting the "right" room away from the road. For Opey de Place, Areca, Nature View I can assure you that you find a quiet night. Except for the chance of some drunken idiots slamming doors, shouting at their girl etc. That's what you are never safe from.
