  1. Cross my fingers I had not been contacted. More than 10 years old accounts (two). Just yesterday I registered my new passport. What a monstrous procedure. About 45 minutes, a dozen or more signatures on a dozen papers. Clerk running around, vanished seemingly endless. New bankbooks. Second female clerk had to approve. Feels like the 60's. Kasikorn 10 minutes, no paper no signatures.
  2. Don't come in the way of a delivery driver. He admits 75 to 80 km/h. How much to add?
  3. 2nd thought... From the report it is not clear whether he actually lived in the hotel? Otherwise hard to believe that someone could not be found...
  4. Meaningful thread title and moving to IT would help...
  5. You were faster Sounds so sincere. The explanation that the dog jumped sounds plausible, but why can't he fix him in the cabin. Moron.
  6. https://www.onestopservicepattaya.com/contact 700 might be 16 USD plus a fee?
  7. Yes. https://www.kasikornbank.com/en/announcement/pages/same-registered-name.aspx
  8. Deposit Transfer From Electronic-Channel Sounds completely generic. Could be everything. Not good. Do you see that with the app? Do a book update .
  9. Any change is bad for me. Worked flawlessly so far with statement/book clearly showing money from abroad. Will see next week. I transfer on my own ("for long time stay").
  10. From the OP it's totally unclear what is requested? Doing DL from scratch? Converting home country (which) license? Having IDP? Doing it from scratch is the only way with some challenge. Did it for motorbike in 2017. Otherwise just paperwork and the minimal physical test.
  11. 100% fake. Picture of you is taken at DLT just before printing the license card. Medical certificate required. Physical tests required. Falls into the category of Khao San licenses.
  12. I would take the passport in my man bag nailed to my chest 😊 At AIS they have an app which they use to take a picture of the passport. Some automatic process behind. I doubt it will work with a copy.
  13. Peaceful?? It's some 3 years ago that I lived in a hotel on Soi Buakhao overlooking this Soi from the balcony. There was a Thai only nightclub close to 3rd Rd operating all night until dawn making terrible noise all over the area. If things haven't changed this area is uninhabitable not peaceful.
  14. It has to be within the 60 days. Yesterday watched a vlog with a well known visa agent. He suggest to book a cheap onward flight to throw away. He can do through a travel agent for as low as 700 Baht.
  15. Windows XP embedded is used in zillions of devices like ATMs. Those XP systems are customized/"slim" and often not connected to the internet. Not full blown desktop Windows XP. I have taken at least one picture of a "crashed" ATN with some Windows logo.
  16. Yes. So you have to request a statement at the branch. Less than 6 months bank on the spot. Also contains stamp and signature. Nothing less than that for official use (like immigration).
  17. My Bangkok Bank statements show address but in Thai script .
  18. Bangkok Bank accounts (savings and fixed) in sole name since about 14 years. (before that joint account with wife) Kasikorn since 2009. Opened on visa exempt at the time. Had SCB for about 10 years Closed recently due to their incompetence about facial recognition. Problems? Never anything blocked/lost. Now using Bangkok Bank mainly for transfer from abroad, ATM withdrawals and transfer to Kasikorn. Few transactions on the statement makes it easier to use at immigration. Kasikorn for day to day payments/bills etc.
  19. More likely that the airline makes trouble when boarding without proof of onward/return travel and no visa. They see that in their rules (TIMATIC).
  20. Where? Which post office?
  21. Parcels, yes that's what I come upon. But letters?
  22. 52 replies and still not in the health forum. Don't be scare mongered about HIV. Doesn't show quickly after a bad night/day. Go-to Dr Olivier's clinic. Swiss doctor with decades of experience, has seen it all. Speaks English well.
  23. In Pattaya drunk drivers are treated quickly. Caught drunk on Friday. Spend weekend on Soi 9 or 30k bail. Sentenced Monday morning at the courthouse on Thappraya Rd. Kind of an express court, case by case from the queue. Only if confessed and no appeal. No! Not me.
  24. Good to read that at least suspended imprisonment was given. The six months driving license will hopefully keep her away from the wheel for the time. To me it looks like the publicity helped. Community service: serving in hospital where accident victims are treated? Or at the first responders?
  25. You never stop learning... Interior: Digital gauge cluster, 18-way adjustable sport seats (optional), and optional rear seats. Probably some "child seats" like in the 2½ door pickups. Narrow thin benches. Price starts at 19 million ฿
