In case they ask in Khon Kaen (unlikely after doing extensions since 2012) I will have a box of 23 old bankbooks plus some current ones 7 digit foreign transfers from 2011 included. Never throw away your old bank books. I will do a border run at Nong Khai on Monday to cancel my Non O-A status and return with exempt entry. As far as I know I can return same day from Laos, basically just wandering over the market and go back? Then on Wednesday or Thursday I will apply for Non O retirement at Khon Kaen.

Before transfer is initialized I am asked for reason/purpose of transfer. (have to select) I should mention that I transfer from Euro. No idea whether it looks different for GBP or USD? Also I transfer to account in my own name and less than 100k Baht every other month.

How often did I read: license extension will be suspended if fines not paid. And how often do I read here from posters saying: I don't give a .... Should we now assume that the rules are really enforced?

To make it clear: it makes life easier for certain users to have the transfer shown up as international for purposes of extension at immigration.

That's usually the case. Main branches (street front) are closed until Monday. Our Bangkok Bank micro branch in the mall is closed on Sundays since a while with some put-off about Covid. SCB and Krungthai in the same mall are open.

Should I answer although doing it to Bangkok Bank? There will be no fee from SCB as the transfer is technically domestic in Thai Baht. You get what WISE shows you before hitting the send button. SCB, Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn are NOT hit by some strange new rule limiting transfer to 50000 Baht. My transfer to Bangkok Bank is usually next day 2 PM. Reason behind: I specify the reason for transfer as living cost for long term stay which makes it look like a foreign transfer in the book. Other posters report transfer in a few seconds. Anything in between.

What I know as the new car park is opened since a while. Used it on July 4th. So some mystery behind this news for me. Is there another one? The one in the picture HAS been opened. And the signage among the still not completed work is not a masterpiece.

Don't know why but the boys look a bit gay at the "Boy Gaga" bar. (from that arcade/walking street, blurred by me)

If you haven't been for a long time you will hardly recognize the beach now. They built a promenade all the way from police box corner to Pratamnak Soi 5. Quite nice to walk/ride. Many fit work out women in the evening jogging/exercising. It is still unchanged that many venues restaurants/bars in the area are preferred by gays. Many bars/restaurant at the "Super Town Jomtien Walking Street" a bit up from beach rd.

From now to Sunday incl. there is a long holiday weekend and expected more congestion. But in normal times the connection should be fine. Where are you coming from? What day? 7 PM sounds like ThaiSmile WD46 from Suvarnabhumi. In the past they were mostly in time. But they started to produce some significant delays. Recently I was almost 1.5 hours late. Might be in your favor.

(Robu was faster) Tried to find news update in German press. But no precise description. Colloquially called "K.O." drops (knock out). Likely Ketamin, Rohipnol also mentioned but this would be unusual. Women only: yes if you know that the drug is also called "date rape drug". Of course also well known in Thailand applied to males who paid a high price for the encounter (Ketamin alias Vitamin K, no taste, no smell). It's really getting worse in Berlin. "Spiking" at rave/techno parties is a "trend". Women getting a short needle injection. Believe it or not. What scumbags do this!

You can get it as leafs: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/senna-leaf-i2152532254-s7180730328.html Or prepared in tea bags as in the above example. If you look for it in a shop, take a picture on the mobile.

There are countless offers on the usual online sites like Lazada. Thai word for Senna plant: มะขามแขก (má-kăam kàek). Interestingly dictionaries translate it back as "Indian tamarind"(?). E.g.: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/10-i268637687-s420825012.html

So far/decoupled from today's reality.

Not for sure but never been dry (even at Bhumipol times).

The app brought me up to the point where the SWIFT code etc. has to be entered. No other requirements up to that point. Whether the barrier lies behind, I don't know.

47.46 is pure petrol 95 octane. Rarely seen and used in Thailand

1) prices from 4th July. Down 4.5 or so since then 2) pure petrol/benzene almost unknown to the very most motorist. Gasohol 95 is the benchmark.

Yes. You will not notice a difference after the setup for SIM1/SIM2 is done. Just checked again: youtube and a paid TV subscription work fine with 15 Mbps. Even with the DTAC signal being weak at home.

Do you have a dual SIM mobile (with a free slot)? Much less headache.

Clever remark. You realize that this is about mobile internet? About the OP: I have 15 Mbps flat with DTAC and it works with youtube, Facebook/instagram, newsclips and things. Used it a whole week when on travel in Thailand. 10 Mbps is about what is needed for an average video on a mobile. BUT: how good is the reception/signal at your site? Do you live in a very densely populated area? What does the raw performance measurement say if using: speedtest.net (please save remarks about "wrong test", it's about simple test of connection with AIS) For my DTAC it shows 15.37, so throttled quite precisely. Do you have a chance to test your desired sites at a fast WiFi somewhere (cafe, shopping mall etc.) to proof that they work in general?

The poorest get 50 units for free. And believe it or, many don't climb above. The rest of your babble is for the bin.

Maximum. They will fiddle with the "Ft" (fuel price surcharge) but the progressive scale will not be changed. 0 - 149 units 150 - 399 units 400 and above Only the latter will peak over 5 Baht.

Price in Germany almost triple of the price here. Gas prices exploding.

Another day, another battlefield. So sad. Call me prejudiced but small wheels, sporty rims and a crazy color for a pickup. Do we like to do some pickup racing?
