max internet speed data package
KhunBENQ replied to anotherexpat4444's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Gomo is indeed not a substitute for a fibre optic connection that I have. For me a mobile SIM is just for use on the road/shopping. I have the 150 GB package and even if I use that up before the year is over I fill up (online) with a new package and still cheap. 100 GB in one month: there are SIMs/packages available for that with 10 to 30 Mbit/s. But I am not up-to-date on that. They became much more expensive during the last year. -
Pattaya club chaos: Manager stabbed by bartender
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
No way. The name and location is in every report except this one. It's newly opened as a live music club on LK metro. Second venue on the left coming from Soi Diana. Closed for years and being a big Gogo before which was named after fancy French sparkling wine. -
Recommend a computer I can order from Lazada.
KhunBENQ replied to giddyup's topic in IT and Computers
Good luck finding a Made in USA/UK computer. Even assembled in these countries from Taiwan/China parts would rise cost significantly. Some people are not aware that the vast majority of consumer/computer chips comes from TSMC Taiwan. Build with huge machines from ASML Netherlands costing up to 400 million USD each. Even Intel lets certain chips produce at TSMC! Chips shipped to communist China for assembly, making iPhones and millions and millions of cheap mobile phones, motherboards, graphic cards... you name it. Don't even think what happens if these two companies are sabotaged/attacked. -
Just saw late sunrise down south at 6:15. Happened at 5:40. Total darkness? Not really. Up here it's lit up at this time. Adding to that the road has lights. The truck is parked half into the left lane, half on the edge. Road is wide and it needs a good sleep to bang into.

Slippery highway causes bus to overturn, injuring 37 passengers
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
After reading Pak Thong Chai district I knew this would come. Such "mountainous" roads are not for Thai drivers. I like this road. -
I think staring at the mobile is a major reason for many of these accidents. I always wonder how the delivery guys on motorbike survive while always staring at their mobile during the ride.

Brake failure, brake failure, brake failure... That happens in a country with vehicle inspection that is laughed at.

Urgent video call to his darling.

Your irony is very subtle

A mate has the same problem. Been rejected endlessly in the past without reason and now rejected with wrong entry date. At KK immigration he asked and of course no clue. Just saying that the reports are bounced at Bangkok (IT). Local immigration does not see it in this case. It speaks volumes for Thai government/administration/workplace culture that no one cares. Seems Bangkok IT does not look into the results/logs of the system otherwise they should note that many reports are rejected for the ever same reason. Local immigration will not inform/contact Bangkok (as they sure will have relevant contacts). Don't risk loss of face, don't look like a troublemaker, bad for the career. I suggested my mate to use postal report. Worked for me in the past. As he is a stubborn goat he won't follow

Why is North Thai Pho so much worse than Pho from the South
KhunBENQ replied to Yamu's topic in General Topics
After some "investigation" I found that this might be about Vietnam cuisine? Could mods move this? -
Heavy rain and flash flood warnings issued across Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Too much alarm, too often. This wears off. Currently very little going on. https://www.ventusky.com/?p=11.1;102.3;4&l=rain-3h -
Depends on DLT offices. Pattaya is notorious for ignoring YB. Up here find since years.

DiY Retiement Extension - Jomtien
KhunBENQ replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I have done that for 10 years or so and last time they "let me through" but reminded me next time book update same day. Seems it's up to the office(r). -
DiY Retiement Extension - Jomtien
KhunBENQ replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Here immigration gave me a reminder that the book (fixed deposit) update has to be from same day. Fortunately at Bangkok Bank this can be done at the counter without any transaction. Even the update machines will do if you insert them a second time after seeing not transaction at first attempt. -

At least here it is no problem. Always used previous day. What they want is a bank book update from same day. (you could have withdrawn the millions overnight ) -

KhunBENQ replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A lot of wrong informed people. Can't tell how often this was clarified in the forum. The only condition for the account: shown balance could be withdrawn in full at any time. In this case just loosing accrued interest which is not shown on balance before due date. Good to see your report. Would call it off-season report -
Stupid dealer. Seems uninterested. Driving license is utter nonsense. You can buy in your name and let your partner drive. Go next door. Bought a new car recently. Passport with visa/extension. Yellow book/pink card. Buying on finance denied. No surprise. Paid by bank transfer from the mobile. Where was that BTW?

What happens if not pay a speeding camera fine?
KhunBENQ replied to Keith5588's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
A slang term describing what many feel when dealing with Thai government offices 😊 "PITA stands for "Pain in the a**" -

Big fat deception. Recently learned. Best price for room 9xx Baht. Then continue: you have to pay 11xx Baht, get cashback. Fine print: apply for cashback, need a credit card, may take a month, for less than 10 USD there is 1 USD fee. No thanks!

A bit too much of fear mongering about 1 year ban. Never heard before. Since years they tell that you won't be able to pay tax/insurance with an open ticket. Since years others tell you it's just hot air, don't care, don't pay. I will not try to find the truth tentatively. I think it is worth to change the address in the book. Might be a PITA with certificate of residence. There is website in Thai to check for outstanding tickets. But only usable with Thai ID, so not worth linking,
