If the phone number is finished and no backup email had been specified you better forget that Email adr. I have no problems with yahoo. Have two backup emails specified and no phone number. From time to time I am asked to specify additional email adr. Or phone nr. which I decline. Recovering might cost you time and effort: "Live agent help - Contact paid premium support at (800) 745-0739"

There are a few threads about the Shingrix vaccination (approved in Thailand only since a year or so). This one fairly recent and I have described my two shots from May and August this year. Not cheap.

Two and a half years as seen in your thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1248708-batteries-for-forza/

Indeed. Seems you picked the most thorough check ever 😃 The maximum I experienced was blood pressure and using the stethoscope. Others: assistant walks with the form to doctors office for signature. Never seen myself.

Thai Meteorological Department Updates on Typhoon “Trami”
KhunBENQ replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News
Again: will know more next week 😁 ECMWF and other met. centers predict little (6 mm) to no rain over the weekend. Checked for Udon Thani, Khon Kaen and Pattaya. -
Recently saw a video with an agent who said: go to Rayong. It's worth the trip. Just walk in there. I can't swear for it. And yes, do the online "training" to obtain a QR code that saves you from possible video watching at the office. If you willing to spend money engage an agent. If I can believe them they can do magic tricks like medical certificate without ever seeing a doctor 😳

I thought the OP is satire. But seems a serious question?? (seen too late that the the OP confirmed)

True for the usual "inter provincial buses". The first time I used one I wasn't prepared. It was one of the coldest rainy mornings that you can imagine. Entering the bus and the AC is full blowing. At that time I was naive enough to ask the attendant about it. "Is not >possible< to change". Had to grab for blankets/pillows etc to survive. I rarely use buses and the Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya were not that crazy frozen.

Police seek 3 suspects for dumping woman’s body near cassava farm

Uthai Thani in Isaan. I never stop learning 😖 -
And it's interesting that they don't list the #1 Halloween craziness in Pattaya. There might be some Halloween stuff on sale at the local supermarkets/chain stores. But the average villager doesn't give a f... It's similar to "Christmas" with silly red hats and decoration and the nerve wracking endless loops of Jingle Bells. Money making and again average people don't .... The article is full of blanket statements that are beyond bearable. So yes a puke bag comes handy.

Thai man wanted for raping two disabled girls for over 2 years

31-15=16 Still happening. No education needed. Sexual maturity comes earlier and earlier these days -
Expats in Thailand urged not to worry about negative income tax
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Again wasted time for a useless rubbish and misleading headline. Some human intelligence would do good. -
They have. Part of ECMWF: https://www.ecmwf.int/ (best forecast from my experience) Go through: https://meteologix.com/th Today weather forecast is about who runs the biggest supercomputer. Who has the most dense network of weather stations.

Lost Italian tourist rescued after night in Phuket jungle
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Yes, ideal for the jungle expedition. -
And why? You never accompany loved ones to the hospital. Must be something very serious or special if the patient can not be treated in Khon Kaen. (or the family just wants him nearby, who knows) Ambulance driving on the right? Why not, if you know the surface quality on many left lanes. You want to bump from patch to patch, from pothole to pothole? If there are two lanes in one direction just undertake and go your way. What a moron.

Suspension of TM6 Arrival Form Extended to Boost Tourism
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What a joke. Jubilation about one form abolished that was never taken too seriously. And the same time pushing forward for the ETA which already led to confusion and uncertainties.- 48 replies

Putin lies about a "special operation" instead of a war and does not declare a general mobilization. At the same time borders are open for leaving. Off to Phuket and enjoy the sun. Battle of Berlin 1945: Russia 2.5 million soldiers, 6250 tanks, 7000 planes. Just to give an idea about the proportions.

Lost Italian tourist rescued after night in Phuket jungle
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Hope this idiot gets a big fat bill for this nonsense. Not cancelling the alarm and simply walk back to the hotel?? Can he tie his own shoes? -
Have you tried a postal tracker of the destination country? Sometimes you might be surprised where your mail is stuck.

Pink I.D Card & Yellow Book
KhunBENQ replied to Bangkok Black's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Best advice. You have to check with the amphoe (district office). For me (married) it was quite easy. (among others: your name already translated to Thai script) No embassy/consulate involved. Just a local translation office for the passport and(?) birth certificate. (be sure the translator has the marriage documents so your name in Thai does not differ, there is no hard coded rules for that, quite "flexible") Fortunately they didn't want proof for the parents names etc. For the pink card be prepared for questions like religion, blood group,... An anecdote: at our upcountry office pink card could only be issued after 3 PM when all other clients were ready. They had to call some central office to switch their terminals? Whether it's useful also seems to depend on the local authorities. While here it is full sufficient for driving license stuff, address for immigration. Even my new car was registered on my "Thai name". Other offices seem stubborn and ignore it from what I read (Pattaya/Jomtien e.g.). -
Some of the prices leave me shocked. Seems they milk the cows to pay for the expensive 5G equipment. 10 Mbit/s, 30 days for 1100 !!! Baht. From the past I remember new SIM, one month 15 Mbit/s for 300 or so? Are they serious? Unlimited speed, 20 GB ,30 days, 699!!!

I have the one year package 999 incl tax for 150 GB. Unlimited speed. AIS WiFi where available. 300 min calls to all domestic networks. Very satisfied for mobile use/on the road. (at home have 3BB fiber) I had to let the daughter register the SIM card. Didn't work in English for me (passport nr).

Thai Street Vendor Attacked by 20 Youths After Firework Warning
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Spoiled brats and it's always the boys, the pride of the family. No education, no discipline, no limits. From their young years they can beat their caretaker grandmother if they don't get what they want. Crying like a pig in the slaughterhouse. I see that here on a regular basis. Later they fall for drugs. Parents leaving the house and living on the farmland to keep away from their speed fueled son. (two houses from here) -
Thai Baht weakens as government pushes for lower rates
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
There was a period end of September to first week of October where the Baht slightly dropped. But today is the 14th! You don't want to see the one year chart.
