A good chef tests smell and taste before dining 😁 For heteros there is so much more likely as HIV: HPV, chlamydia, gonorrhea (clap). syphilis, fungus (?) and what else.

Chonburi Immigration Arrests Russian Man with Interpol Warrant
Vladi: There is no general mobilization and never been. Russian men never been stopped to leave the country. There is no war just a special military action. If you call it a war in Russia you will be prosecuted.

SCB, no more exemption from facial recognition in app
Can't tell for sure because the general limits (daily) would have to be raised. Doubt this will work but I have uninstalled the app and closed accounts. So can't help.

PC : 35 watt or 65 watt?
Provide some idea what you want to do with the device and you could get more specific advice.

PC : 35 watt or 65 watt?
Ok so no classical desktop tower but an "AIO" all in one. Means all components combined with the screen in one case that stands on the desktop. You don't sound like a power user with need for highest performance. The 65W model has an i7 CPU (processor) which should provide more power/speed. Whether you need it? Both have 8 GB RAM (volatile memory). Just enough for Windows 11. Both have 512 GB SSD (solid state storage). No moving parts. Very fast. If you are not into big collection of videos and images that is enough.

Same like Bangkok Bank: 50'000 Baht Fortunately facial scan at BB worked today. Did a test by raising limits.

SCB, no more exemption from facial recognition in app
Just closed both accounts. They tell me that they can not Install facial recognition for foreigners. Useless, avoid. Now cross my fingers that Kasikorn will not make similar move. No facial requested ever.

Foreign Supercar Owners Fined for Flouting Phuket Parking Laws
Foreign license plates? Rented by tourists? Most likely Malaysian plates? Definitely not from Monaco , where these would not go through as "supercars". Can someone identify what cars these are?

Bus Operators Protest Ministry’s Ban on Double-Decker Coaches Along ‘Risky’ Routes
So many killed over the years. Once I witnessed the remains of terrible accident on 304 downhill where about 14 young students were killed. Bus wreck still hanging on the side. I stopped and walked around and seeing these little plastic sandals, rucksacks, toys etc. is oppressive. These vehicles from the backyard workshops have nothing to do on the road.

HIV outbreak in Issan. Do you always test first or use condoms in Thailand.
A thread that proofs why you should not rely on anonymous health experts on an internet forum. Some posts have satirical/comedic quality.

Copy and paste
All methods going through images will not supply text to copy/paste. OCR needed as written above. A bit off topic: Android apps can even disable the screenshot function. Top of the pops . E g. Thai banking apps Stupid and annoying.

SCB, no more exemption from facial recognition in app
Exemption was one of the reasons why I still have this account. When I tried to setup at the branch (last year?) they were incapable to do for foreigners. At Bangkok Bank installed but working terribly unreliable. Stupid grinning. The due date of June 9 is also brazen. Today and tomorrow to fix. Will visit branch and decide on the spot whether setup or close accounts.

Thailand Tightens Grip on Retirement Visas Amid Wealth Shift
Thanks to other posters who seem to have read through this bombast. I stopped after two paragraphs or so. Another alarming headline with nothing behind. Don't spoil my breakfast.

Wise Transfers Successful
My monthly transfer to Bangkok Bank ("for long term stay") just been credited at 14:04 and shown as international funds transfer. Initiated yesterday. Business as usual. I send some 65k + x Baht for the monthly transfer method for extension. (1800 EUR -> 66470.75 THB)

Does someone have to die first?
Turn right not left or enter from the parking deck. Use the other walkway. Problem solved When in Pattaya I often ride there with the scooter. (love the "secret paths" to get there from Soi Buakhao and back without being bothered by traffic lights)

Wise transfer lost
I haven't followed your story so let me ask what bank it was and whether you checked the account being "alive" (not blocked).

Wise transfer lost
No problems here. Yesterday I initiated my monthly EUR transfer from the WISE balance. For long term stay was preselected. Just got the "paid" message and quite sure that the money will be in the Bangkok Bank account after 2 PM. (as usual since years) Initiated the transfer early morning and it would likely have arrived same day if it wasn't a holiday.

Transfer of 800K using Wise for 1 Year Extension Visa
6 months on the spot, 100 Baht. And I combine them to a seamless one year (3 statements). Worked last time in Khon Kaen. You have to specify exact start day. Both for BB and Kbank I request text in Thai language. Last entry is always from day before (bit stupid that you can not say 1. Jan to 30. Apr eg., monthly aligned).
