  1. Seems EMS is not found with Deutsche Post Tracking. To me it's obvious that the letter was delivered.
  2. ? I see final delivery to Mr/Ms SCHOBEL? "Item out for physical delivery" followed by "Final delivery" clearly says it's there. No idea what the latest air carrier entry stands for. EMS tracking is more detailed than normal registered letter. But no significant time advantage. You could check your letter at Deutsche Post tracking: English: https://www.deutschepost.de/sendung/simpleQuery.html?locale=en_GB German: https://www.deutschepost.de/sendung/simpleQuery.html My letter (registered 250 Baht) shipped on July 10th is now (18th) at the final post center at the destination city.
  3. The lorry driver parked there to have a rest. So can I assume that he parked unlit blocking left lane? I drove this road last week but I would never be on the way at 5:30 AM. Pickup driver coming from Chonburi after a night ride. Dozed off? So extra dangerous.
  4. Hope you can overcome it ????
  5. As answered in the other thread: both days Aug 1st and 2nd will have official alcohol ban. Nationwide of course. As far as I know all places with alcohol license will have to close/shutters down. Not sure about possible loopholes.
  6. For Thai people it's not news. Same procedure... And I just looked at my Thai wall calendar. Both in deep red.
  7. Both days Aug 1st and 2nd will have alcohol ban. Thanks to the outgoing government all Bhuddist holidays are.
  8. At the time of report still in coma. After seeing the picture I was surprised he survived the crash at all. Follow up? Guess no.
  9. From the reports. Seems a couple of businessmen got to know Olaf involuntary. As other mafia gangsters he and his gang made money by "protection rackets", extortion, scams/fraud/trickery and the like. This Petra was a notorious scam/fraud gangster ever since when still in Germany. She had been sued multiple times for unpaid bills and theft but notoriously overloaded justice/law enforcement let it slip.
  10. I have Bangkok Bank, SCB and KBank. The only bank that has it ready for me is Bangkok Bank. Was at SCB some weeks ago and they were not prepared. KBank, check just now and if I select the facial recogniton it still says for Thai customers only. Facial recognition with Bangkok Bank is a burden. Works or doesn't work, try again and again and once I was successful. Instructions on screen what grimace to do while on cam. So small I can't read, if I put on glasses it will not work of course
  11. Can you explain how that should work? For the banking apps, the payee has to generate a QR with the amount and details of payee. This QR code is then scanned with the banking app. Definitely not done at 7/11. Exactly opposite at 7/11: you generate a QR code on your device/app which then is scanned by the 7/11 clerk. Your QR code basically says this is my "account"/"wallet". After 7/11 clerk has scanned the QR you confirm (from what I observe, not from own experience).
  12. All I know is that they accept "True Money Wallet" as a QR code? Seems they now care to explain it in English: https://www.truemoney.com/foreigner/
  13. Because the #1 billionaire clan doesn't want to share a Baht with other businesses, All under one roof. You might remember when years ago they threw out 12call/AIS the last remaining rival in mobile business. No more topup at 7/11.
  14. Another attempt before giving up. It's NOT a Windows setting (language, region, date/time, ....)! It's NOT a Chrome Setting! It's a laughable Google search setting stored in a Cookie! Can be completely independent of the Windows settings.
  15. The only reason to use ID card and border pass instead of passport might be avoiding stamps in the passport when traveling frequently? And I guess the majority of Thais doing one day visits to Laos don't have a passport (costs money and effort). For occasional/single visit she should just use passport.
  16. Death penalty still imposed but executions suspended since long. Interrupted by one single case in June 2018. Quite randomly picked young robber and murderer (over an iPhone!).
  17. I hope I found it... I had the same annoyance with Buddhist calendar (2566) instead of western AD (2023). Deeply hidden, open this link: https://www.google.com/preferences Then scroll down and see the "Regional Settings" for the search. (I see it in German language at the moment so won't hardcopy) What is the setting at your Chrome browser? "Current Region"? Play with the setting and look whether it helps. Restart browser (not sure whether necessary). No chance with Windows settings!
  18. My life certificate is on the way to Germany. Sent as registered mail (not EMS). 250 Baht (pre COVID it was some 8x Baht). From the tracking you can guess that it now sits idle at the notoriously slow Frankfurt customs check. Once took 6 days.
  19. That has not been diagnosed in full. As a pessimist I fear for cancer. 143 ml is obviously very big and why? Next week looking in Khon Kaen.
  20. And no incontinence afterwards? Of course it will be up to the professional to decide, but I also think better remove the whole growth?
  21. Long lasting and relied on medication. Inherited from father who lived with catheter through the abdominal wall.
  22. No other option: was at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya today and the news were clear and shocking.
  23. I have no other option than TURP or complete removal. Did anyone have TURP done in KK or Udon? Where, who, price, outcome? I would prefer to have it close. Have it done somewhere distant would make some extra effort. Wife and "driver" with me.
  24. You expect too much in geography I have given up when even many news stories are misplaced.
