Which visa date? Just did a screenshot from the mobile. "Stay Visa Expire" is of course the date on which your one year extension ends.

It's ages that I was in Tenerife and other Canary islands but I would also be surprised if it's that bad. Canary islands are not that cheap like the Mediterranean

Is this an actual option or just meant as a joke?

Nice. So opened an account in vain to be closed next year. Stupidos. I used digital banking even before internet banking and they want to declare me senile!

Already seen yesterday afternoon. And not only Diesel was raised. 33 Baht is the "starting" price. 0.5 more is usual up here.

Just come back from the district town (western part of Khon Kaen). 95 easily available, limited to 1000 Baht, price rise to 35.5, E20 pump is waiting for customer and still at 30.6. 91 haven't checked. On the way in PTT was empty of Diesel vehicles. On the way back it was crammed. An eagerly awaited supply had arrived.

Answer from Kbank is hardly worth a dime. Just a long general list of requirements for account opening. And the question about the purpose of that "additional document" is not answered. No mention of an address. I could take this for granted and order me a new ID card (without address) for 2xxx Baht and then go to Kbank. And then? Try and error?

What I said, seems not even stop lights / flashes. And independent from the ground controller: full stop and a careful lookout as you would do on crossing any major road.

All you need to know.

😁 Indeed. Just need some data and reroute 🤣 Can't help with UK but for German state pension there is of course a proper download form to fill, sign and send in. Already checked it and it seems sufficient if Thai bank account is in your sole name. I remember some posts that pensioners had to provide a letter from the Thai bank about their account (in their name only). That might be a PITA task.

Found this statement in an German language article too.

It still limits to Diesel shortage so far. And where are you? Diesel is the #1 in volume. If tanks are equally sized Diesel runs out first. If no tank trucks on the way the situation might spread to other fuels

Other than Diesel still seems available. Google translate of an article in German from today:

These antiquated methods with radio traffic, spoken commands... All depending on human brain and concentration. Only after the worst accident in civil aviation (1977, Tenerife, two 747 collide, 583 deaths) they at least started to standardize radio traffic and wording. Not much progress since then? No signals that show clearly that a runway has been assigned to a landing / starting plane etc. Remember the disaster in Tokyo Haneda 2024 with a very lucky escape of most passengers? Far from the AI dream world.

Hallelujah. Approved. First since June last year (new passport in September). On Jan 6th was last failed attempt with new passport. Jan 9th report at the office AND doing new TM30 with the new passport. Really seems that this is relevant.

After Big T given a sermon of peace in sight. Do not believe before the oil tankers crossed the straight to open sea.

Just seen that you come from Bang Saray. So no way to return without refill. I just read in the other thread that still 95 and maybe 91 / E20 are available often with 500 Baht limit. ("Bangkok to Chiang Mai")

Of course the EV drivers feel superior now. But what does it help if the supply chains for fresh food, groceries of all kind will break? Prepare for a wave of hoarding in the grocery stores/supermarkets.

I am waiting for an answer from KBank about the matter. If it's not satisfactory I will try a fixed deposit at Krungsri and carry a bag of cash down the road. I contacted KBank through the email option (no identification, account numbers etc.). It took me about 10 captchas to get the message out. Buses, fire hydrants, pedestrian crossings etc. Silly.

LaGuardia has a long list of incidents and accidents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_at_LaGuardia_Airport

How far is that as a return trip? Guess you mean 91 / 95? Can your car drive on E20? Interestingly here are small village pumps (barrels) who have 95 fuel for 44 Baht, Diesel 47 Baht. And it's their suppliers who rise the price.

It was not her only "encounter" on Bangla. Just saw a clip where she harassed a foreign trio, standing in the way and grabbing a man who is with two women (one foreign, one Thai ?). She tried to push him away. Fortunately the victims stayed calm. Can't say whether she babbles in Russian. Some comments on Instagram in Russian language.

Thanks for enlighting 😁 Traffic madness starts no later than Saturday 11th. Evening of Friday 10th also likely heavy traffic, Bangkok exodus. As the long weekend stretches Songkran anyway there are no extra holidays. So on 16th traffic should calm down. All under the assumption that fuel is available. There are reports about non Diesel fuel also running short.

Two and half week until the madness starts (April 10/11). It's very comprehensible that people are concerned. I have a good 500 km in both cars (petrol) but will surely not do any trip that requires refill for return.

What car model, age? Most cars/limousines can drive with. My 2011 Mazda 2 been on E20 for the most of 165 tkm. Today at my closest PTT zero Diesel. 91, 95 and E20 still available. Chaotic scenes/queues at two other stations (Pt and Bang Chak).
