Bangkok Bank Required for Retirement Extension
KhunBENQ replied to Joeb's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Again you miss a point. Some unlucky nationals do not get a confirmation from embassy/consul anymore (since long). One of them is among the biggest groups of posters here: USA. -

Position and movement of sun in the Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to FrederikKitten's topic in DIY Forum
It's a bit more complicated. Sun paths for northern Thailand June and December: In June ALL of Thailand gets sun from the north more or less. In December ALL of Thailand gets sun from the south more or less. South is currently a shady place around our house. -
Luggage checked through Vienna - Chiang Mai???
KhunBENQ replied to Barley's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Bangkok Airways? Well there were kind of transit flights through to Phuket and/or Samui during the "sandbox" times. These PG flights were exclusive only for incoming international and you were tunneled to these flight (could not be booked as domestic). I must admit I don't know whether such still exists (doubt it) and whether they did it to CNX (also doubt it). -

KhunBENQ replied to Barley's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
No and no. Happy to be proven wrong. You change planes/airlines and BKK to CNX is a purely domestic flight. Would you unveil the PG flight number? -
Position and movement of sun in the Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to FrederikKitten's topic in DIY Forum
Ask a Chiang Mai resident where the sun shine comes from in December As written Thailand 1600 km N/S (1000 miles). Makes a significant difference. As a Phuket residence about position of the sun: what's that? It's upward -
Position and movement of sun in the Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to FrederikKitten's topic in DIY Forum
If you want to dig deeper, I like this site (example Bangkok): https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/thailand/bangkok From your diagram it's quite sure that the west (south west) side will heat up the most. -
Position and movement of sun in the Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to FrederikKitten's topic in DIY Forum
Thailand is 1600 km north to south. So some significant variation. Generally the hottest side is to the west with afternoon sun. To the north there is the smallest amount of sunshine. The further north you are the less sun from the north. Of course sun light intensity and direction during the day varies over the year. Least variation in the deep south closer to equator. Most variation in the top north close to the northern tropic (of cancer). -
Unlimited speed AND unlimited volume for such price? No. Unlimited volume and a throttled speed like 10 to 30 Mbit/s? Yes. Unlimited calls within network? Don't know. I have 60 min/month to all networks AIS usually has a volume limit at such prices like 100 GB/month. Three operators and plenty of options at less than 2000 per year.

Bangkok Bank Required for Retirement Extension
KhunBENQ replied to Joeb's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You are writing about a different matter. Letter confirming account owner, account type and current balance ("bank letter"). But the other poster has to do the monthly transfer > 65k from abroad and needs a statement of transactions for the whole year to proof his transfers -

You were faster. I got this information first hand from a visa agent in Pattaya. It's about shady 800k extensions. So the story from the OP might be related. Otherwise you are free to choose the bank. -
Wrong addressee I am not interested in used laptops. But I can comprehend the OPs interest. What a waste these devices are. Four years old? Come on, to the bin. Only 2 GHz? Creeping. I started my professional career with 8085, 8086 Sounds like a tale from History Channel.

No sign: allowed by the rules. Sign: it can either be a not allowed/wait sign or an explicit allow sign (rare). Both usually in Thai and same blue/white color. As an add-on/"courtesy" to foreigner there are forbidden signs in English with a red arrow in certain areas like Pattaya. All clear now? For years it was big fun/cash machine on Pattaya 2nd rd / Central. There was a forbidden sign in Thai language only. Cops waiting around the corner. Now sign in English spoils all the fun The only legal pass through on red that I know is at big wide T-sections with multiple lanes where you can go through on the left only. But there are clear explicit signs.

New O-A Extension Insurace
KhunBENQ replied to mrbeerguy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Ditch! As I did. For me at age 65 cheapest I have seen was around 50000 Baht. Just seen some 98000 Baht. -
It's a while that I looked after such products but in the past at Tukcom they had plenty of used laptops. Have you checked already?

Eurozone raises interest rates for first time in 11 years
KhunBENQ replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Hope the exchange rate won't be a short flash in the pan. Italy tumbling again after Mr Goldman Euro quit. -
Seems the situation has changed. At the start of the vaccination campaigns Moderna was strictly for private hospitals and had to be paid for. I got it in Khon Kaen organized by THG private hospital group. Good to know it has changed. Still I will wait with another shot.
-
All due respect Nabbiex but why are you paying for Covid shots? I But Moderna was never free. And at the time I got it, it was considered most efficient. I am not up to a fourth shot considering the low risk by another infection

Booster shot 4 available in Pattaya
KhunBENQ replied to The Hammer2021's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Basically unchanged from the ongoing campaign. Royal Garden Plaza on beach rd. Organized by Pattaya city hospital. Every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from 11 AM to 3 PM. Latest FB post still shows ending on July 31st. meaning 29th would be latest. -
Fortunately I am out but see my post. Watch it or not but you pay for. Different from private pay TV. Maybe singular to Germanys blown up public TV
-
Fully agree. German public TV being paid by forced fees (tax like) can't get enough of it. Must be ideologically driven by the "woke reeducation department" Recently, July 14: Tour de France cycling, Alpe d’Huez stage, the top cycling event of the year. Just after the top cyclists passed: cut and switch over to women football Italy - Island in German TV!!
-
That is first source of error. Weighing the fresh products. One wrong digit and apples turn to oranges. There is no way around checking yourself. And I have a little suspicion that the problem from the OP is of the same nature.

Bank transactions rules
KhunBENQ replied to Spooky1968's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Sure? Changed? I remember Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn and SCB. Bangkok Bank 100%, last transfer July 4. Sending 2k Euro giving some 7x k Baht. All in my name.
