  1. Nawamindra Maharaj Day Had to think twice. Translates for the clueless foreigner as: King Bhumipol remembrance day. Died on October 13, 2016. No disrespect but here there is no indication for a big travel home event. Will the 13th be alcohol ban?
  2. Just played with their exchange rate site. And I am astonished that booths in Soi 13 and 14 offer 2 Satang (0.02) more than others for USD. Maybe due to the competitor in Soi13/2 "Damini". Damini usually offers a up to 5 satang more than TT. Only worth an extra walk/ride for real big amounts.
  3. TT has now even a booth at the basement of Central on the beach. Open from 10:30 or 11 AM. Sounds like you want to pay the Baht to an SCB account. And of course SCB has a micro branch at Central. Passport required to pay cash to account (or ATM card at the machine).
  4. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 96 seconds  
  5. I just completed this quiz. My Score 100/100 My Time 70 seconds  
  6. Thanks a lot. Very helpful. Surprised that my threat has lived up again.
  7. Super dramatic warning for Bangkok. International weather centers forecast rain over the next days with amounts from 5 to 15 mm. Check back in two days.
  8. Hopefully this is just a nasty bug. Terrible to handle.
  9. Completely unrelated to what my post is about but thanks for posting 🙄
  10. What's makes me sick: this criminal will likely be on the road again. In civilized countries he would be locked behind bars
  11. Last transfer to Bangkok Bank was Nov 1 early morning. Arrived in the afternoon same day. In four years or do there were not more than 2 anomalies/delay. I transfer Euro from the WISE account. Transferring from German bank to WISE is a different story. Friday to Monday... At least one working day. Have you seen when the money arrived at WISE?
  12. As the name was carefully wiped from the photo I refrain from naming.
  13. Soi 13/1 to be precise. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7Qj2YcnAvUdj5v718 Some "Scandinavian" bar with room to rent.
  14. In other words: wonderful weather and no monsoon in sight.
  15. Your ignorance is hard to beat. Some unrelated comments about delivery riders and repeating the nonsense about the girls riding wrong way. THEY WERE NOT! Post above yours too much to read?
  16. And it's a divided(!) highway (3215). So all lanes in the photo go one direction. Bet this drunk scum turned into the road wrong way and the poor kids were the unlucky first. Otherwise it could have been a truck to truck collision. 119 mg (1.19 per mille). There is absolutely no need to blame the victims!
  17. Topic should be in the Thai visa forum and have a meaningful headline like: extension of stay in Bangkok for disabled person
  18. So funny, Full name but no nationality. Google indicates: 99% Brazilian.
  19. "CAAT", "AEROTHAI" Not the #1 sources of interest and not the responsible agencies for weather reports.
  20. From another news post yesterday: "winter" will begin on the third week of October and last until end of February Winter is always the best time for me. And the weather was not that bad in all regions. Floods mainly in the north. Phuket hit hard.
  21. Intense monsoon rains currently?? Chaos? At Bangkok airports? Where and when? There has been intense rain and there are flooded areas. But currently and for the coming days there is little to no rain in the forecast except for some in the south.
  22. Build race tracks through populated areas and you will have races.
  23. I am always puzzled when another "earth like" planet is discovered only a few light years away and makes a headline. Do they want to make people believe we can move there?? One light year is about 9.46 trillion km (9460 billion km). Voyager 1 traveled 24.5 billion km since 1977 (47 years). Voyager 2 is expected to "pass by" at a "nearby" star in about 44000 years.
  24. Better invest energy and money in improving life on this planet and forget about the pipe dreams of Musk et. al. I was a bit shocked that even cheered up Hawkings had propagated the useless resettle on Mars fantasy. So mankind is supposed to move to a freezing dust planet? Cross your fingers that the excessive population growth comes to a stop before all resources are used up. It's strange how little attention this - in my opinion - number one problem gets.
  25. No she didn't ask for the source. I had photocopies with me. Could she see the files from last year with certificate from consulate? Don't think so. But when asking about the procedure last year a male officer said that I might be asked for some proof of income. Game of luck. As I send on my own and have some savings back "home" the amounts differed more than usual (66k to almost 90k in April/May). Sometimes less, sometimes more than the pensions make up. No questions asked.
