June 15th at 2 AM Thai time.

You were faster. Just stumbled upon his video. Big harassment. 17 year old account had to be registered with US authority. All electronic transfer and ATM withdrawal blocked. About the experiences that have been shared in the forum.

Ok. Far from my retired expat horizon. I read about the PITA of opening a bank account which seems to affect US citizens worse than others?

Income letter for immigration? Has been stopped long ago. While other countries still get.

The difference is only the print on the keyboard caps. You could type Thai on an "English" keyboard "blindly" (a bit of a challenge ). A keyboard is fairly dumb piece of HW consisting of a matrix (rows/columns). Simplified: I tells the keyboard driver which row/column crossing point has been "hit" by a key. What happens from there is all SW/setup. And as others said, if you do not intend to type Thai or very occasionally opt for an English print only. For occasional typing in Thai with Windows you can use the on screen keyboard. Of course you need to install/setup Windows for Thai language keyboard layout first. I have three different languages setup which I can change between.

Which are?

This is obviously a forum support question? Totally misplaced. I had similar experience with another forum recently with the security questions. Gave up after 10 attempts, contacted the admins via mail. No response.

But there was no error message after Submit? I entered last Sunday and got the receive confirmation. But the Approval ended in the spam folder! Always useful to do status check on the immigration site and check your Spam folder.

Here he seems to wear the missing object. The car is a customers car, a Merc E63 about 600 HP/PS.

What's so funny? From his FB profile it seems he has a successful business, handles luxury cars of all brands and obviously not a Toyota driver (like me ). For a Patek Philippe the price is still far from the upper limit (judging from prices outside Thailand). No idea how much you have to add for a legally imported watch. What is worth a laughter is his lack of street wise behavior. Walking in public with precious stuff in one of the most crime ridden cities in Germany is quite careless. A Nautilus, about 200'000 Euro and for a factory new you have to apply to queue:

Detain the parents/guardians and stuff them to a re-education camp. All the typical recipes for disaster here. Teens on motorbikes, late night, stalled motorbike on the fast lane and an ambitious BMW racer. Working tail lights at the motorbikes?

And Pattaya is NOT a cure for depression but exactly the opposite.

I often think about the ones they may have left behind.

Brilliant

Of course. I refrained from making a joke about hiding the name. Thai style reporting. Not sure where he landed. Near beach Rd entrance. Could easily have killed a passer by. Picture from Thaiger.

deleted "this morning"? Not even khaosod gives a time when this happened. Just a photo of the aftermath from 2:54 AM

Another day, another dead (foreign) motorcyclist. A case among many like 30 to 50 a day in the country. Lost control when trying to overtake. That leaves a lot of room for speculation.

You say it. I checked an example with a 3 month passport at: https://www.iatatravelcentre.com And no problem shown. I deleted my post as I saw the overwhelming 6 month parole by so many foreign offices etc.

deleted What does it help when the airline system (TIMATIC, IATA) says OK with less then 6 months while misc home country government systems insist on 6 months.

Completely normal. The #1 sex organ is the brain/the mood. Those pills do nothing if the mood is bad, sex drive missing.

Not so sure whether all pharmacies would sell an Indian generic like Kamagra. Since the Viagra patent has expired the Thai pharmaceutical organization (GPO) produces "Sidegra" in 50 and 100 mg variations.

One simple thing to start with: when you get the card, note/picture and store away safely the CVV. Then scratch it off carefully. Never needed for physical card use "only" online. Noone except you needs to see and use the number. It's not stored on the chip. None of my cards has a CVV readable. And there lies the danger: someone having full debit card Nr plus CVV might go shopping in the internet.

Yes in a way that it is published in the Royal Gazette which has not happened so far. And the PRD (public relation departement) uses a vague statement in an article from May 30: Visa Facilitation Measures to Stimulate Thailand’s Economy and Tourism

You know that this is a Thai public holiday and all Thai consulates etc will be closed on this day. Of course a border run (out/in) is no problem.

Our friends at the wheel of big trucks. Recently had to do a hard break as such mental patient cut out about 50 meters away on the highway. He did that at the beginning up of a slope to overtake a trailer truck. Absolute major cause for deadly accidents. We have a MAKRO(!) which can only be reached from the east by using a fairly narrow U-turn. Some months ago at nighttime a motorist died when a truck started the U-turn. Full impact. One of them sleepy? The U-turn is so narrow that long trailers have to turn from the fast lane instead of the U-turn lane. In Pattaya on Sukhumvit they closed down some U-turns after many bike riders died. If I am forced to ride there I use a detour to the next intersection with traffic lights anyway.
